Here’s a quote from a press release issued today by Industry Canada:
“Canada’s New Government is charting a new direction, one that links the competitive energy of Canada’s entrepreneurs to the creative genius of our scientists,” the Prime Minister said. “Our new strategy will strengthen Canada’s economy by tapping our deep well of entrepreneurial energy to fuel our technological progress.”
Call me a conspiratorialist but this sounds like a very subtle way to reinforce the importance of Alberta oil to our economy.
