Canada is unapologetically back in the resource extraction business. For Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, that’s great news.
When you look at the nation-building projects announced by Prime Minister Mark Carney this week, Premier Smith said in a Friday night interview, the “mines for gold and copper, the nuclear power installation, LNG Canada 2 — these are true resource extraction, revenue-generating projects.”
