Alberta 's proved, recoverable gas reserves have jumped 440 per cent since last assessment.

Oil reserves rose five per cent to 167 billion barrels , led by the mammoth oilsands resource.

Alberta ’s oil output reached a record level of about four million barrels per day last year , while natural gas production averaged 10 billion cubic feet a day in 2023 .

The province wants to build two million barrels more per day of pipeline access to the U.S ..

Canadians expect a response to U.S. tariffs.

While “talking tough” may appeal to voters, taking a strategic long-term approach is necessary.

“There are still 201 weeks left of Donald Trump being the president,” says Canada West Foundation CEO Gary Mar.
