“The researchers, mainly from Environment Canada, calculated
emissions rates for four major oilsands surface mining operations using

reports. The study found gaps from 13 to 123% between reported and
actual emissions at the four facilities, a finding that “could have
profound consequences for government climate change strategies”.

More than 165,000 students across the province took part in a student vote during this election campaign and the results show the students would vote in a United Conservative Party majority.

”Would you sleep with me for a million pounds?” Churchill asks.
“A million pounds?” says Lady Astor. “I’d have to think about it first but, in all likelihood, yes.”
“How about for a six-pence?”
“Why I never!” Lady Astor huffs. “What do you take me for?”

“Yeah, that bargain with the Notley government ended on election day.
