He also brushed aside a plea from the province's aboriginal chiefs to halt approval of new projects.: F0 k" q; s9 k% [0 P

Stelmach, who famously said he doesn't believe in "touching the brake" on development, dismissed as preliminary a call for an immediate suspension of government land-lease sales in three massive environmentally sensitive swaths of northern Alberta.' j/ W/ y& w2 [" s$ _# m
3 M, ~2 ~! J6 D) j' ]I'm in shock, even the energy giants are telling our government to put the brakes on oilsands development and Stelmach still refuses to do anything about it. Is he completely deaf/dumb/blind? I think the majority of Albertans realize that something needs to be done, whatever that something may be. I don't understand how Stelmach feels it is O.K. to be so careless. |
