Dear Friends and Partners,
So, there you have January 2016 - done. It was an anemic month for growth, decisions and ‘keeping a steady hand on the rudder’.
But, let’s focus on the good; oil hung on around $30 bbl., rates stayed low (a neutral event), some cash was injected into the AB economy (see below) and a rather frustrating, yet good decision was made to keep the Royalty Rate - the same. You can read more about that from Don Braid.
What we need is more clear decisions and less indiscretions. The royalty review was a ‘decision' and that will create some stability, at a needed time - so that’s good news.
I’m seeing a lot of for rent signs up, but that’s what happens during down turns (preferably not in January, but hey..). You’ll have a segment of renters that will choose to move to cheaper properties. You’ll also have landlords adjust from higher rents to moderate ones and inexperienced landlords at already low rates, panic, and drop further - don’t be the latter sort.

Opinion: Let’s not let economic gloom kill Alberta’s dreams
By Thomas Lukaszuk, Edmonton Journal, January 29th, 2016
Recent media articles paint an apocalyptic picture of Alberta’s economy and the province’s prognosis for recovery.
Maclean’s magazine declared our economic slowdown as the “Death of the Alberta Dream.” The sudden drop in commodity prices, shifts in carbon fuel production and consumption, plummeting dollar and some counterintuitive fiscal policy shifts by the provincial government have resulted in massive job losses, the outflow of investment capital and immediate drop in government revenues.
These financial challenges are felt by Albertans and will become more evident in 2016. Yet my outlook is optimistic. FOLLOW THIS ARTICLE

Alberta kicks in another $5M to help-high tech companies
By Jodie Sinnema, Edmonton Journal, January 22nd., 2016
The Alberta government is pumping an additional $5 million into a program to help small and medium companies and entrepreneurs create jobs and develop high-tech ideas into commercial products.
That’s on top of $4.1 million already funnelled into the program. It has allowed companies such as Pleasant Solutions, which hires out software developers and works in the security and password field, create one permanent job for every $15,000 in such grants. READ MORE HERE

The 10 Best (non-oil) things about Alberta
By Todd Hirsch, Special for Globe & Mail, December 17th, 2015
While it was booming, Alberta’s petroleum sector was a gravitational black hole that sucked up everything else around it. Other industries scrambled to compete for labour, office space and investment capital. It’s a challenge for a tech firm, for example, to open an office in Calgary when a receptionist could command $75,000 a year.
Today, Alberta is grappling with an energy patch that has lost its gravity, at least for now. Oil is below $40 (U.S.) a barrel, and it won’t come suddenly roaring back in 2016. This winter will be difficult for thousands who’ve been thrown out of work. GRAB THIS STORY
