Summary
Sixty percent of Albertans are leaning toward voting “no” in the upcoming referendum, a trend MLA Grant Hunter says has been building for a decade and could threaten investment security if it grows. At a Calgary Chamber event, he praised a new federal-Alberta MOU focused on energy, emissions, and infrastructure — including pipelines, carbon capture, grid upgrades, and tweaks to Alberta’s TIER system. The federal government agreed to Alberta’s preferred $130/tonne carbon price by 2030, a move Hunter called vital for competitiveness and local investment. He also defended recent Water Act reforms and Alberta’s approach to open-pit coal mining, stressing high standards and careful planning for major projects.
