Or what these non federal gov't
politicians do or this
one promoting their own agendas in DC quite often over what the Feds say. They advocate their own interests speaking for their constituency despite what the flavor of the week is in Ottawa as well.

- Develops its world-scale energy resources in an environmentally responsible way
- Contributes to enhanced North American agricultural competitiveness
- Is a desirable place in which to live, work, travel, study, invest and conduct research
The Alberta Washington, D.C. Office began operating in October 2004. It is co-located in the Canadian Embassy.
