Making Alberta Safe for Capitalism: What the Energy Industry Needs Dear Leah, Breakfast Keynote: Rex Murphy Lunch Keynote: Ron Paul Speakers: Peter Tertzakian, Jim Davidson, & more! The Alberta budget has shaken Canadians - weaker revenue has an enormous affect on the rest of Canada;from coast to coast we all rely on the jobs created by Alberta's industry, as well as their tax revenue to support spending and social programs. And in Alberta, many business leaders are feeling anxiety; about the business climate in general, as well as around the future of the energy industry. Can they get products to market, and at a fair price? Can they solve the environmental divide? And can they continue to attract capital? This first-ever discussion will connect all of those dots - we will peel back the bandaid on the problems, share some innovative ideas to try and shake up the energy deadlock, and use some case studies in communication to learn how we can "preach to the unconverted" so that Canadians show more support for this important province. This is an opportunity for all of us to re-energize our passion for the power of capitalism, and start a conversation on how its principles can improve our future on so many levels. Sign up now as space is limited - more speakers will be added weekly to this already high-powered line-up! Leah Costello Chief Ideas Curator Curious Mind Productions Inc. P.S.

He knows what makes Canadians tick, and what drives our political and social affairs. As such, he is uniquely positioned to try and explain why it is that so many Canadians “bite the hand that feeds”them – rebuking Capitalism and resource development whilst enjoying the wealth it has created. Read more..
