Dear Friends and Partners,

It’d be easy to bemoan the economy and you’d think I’m doing that with the selection of news picks below. But, in fact I’m not. If there is one thing about Albertans, it's their resilience. Through hardship and challenging financial times, strong businesses has been forged. Alberta will rise like a Phoenix from the fire… and for now it is tough.
