I don't know the specific details of what Pembina did for the City, but Pembina does consulting on a wide array of environmental and energy issues, for a lot of different clients including the oil patch and the Alberta Government.
Manufactured outrage from the Sun and Levant. |
Yes, Pembina does do work for corporate clients - no doubt about that. No doubt about the advocacy side either.
However, surely you are prepared to acknowledge their intervening in hearings, participating in events, and lobbying to slow oilsands development and to argue against pipeline expansion out of Alberta.
And surely you can understand why that is a problem for Calgarians, and many Albertans. I think there needs to be better disclosure from the mayor on this.
And to quote the mayor himself: "Well, you're running for office. Your constituents deserve to know what, if anything, you stand for ...."
So where does the mayor stand?
(PS, I don't mind nenshi but think the tax increases are way out of wack. I'm still going to want to hold him accountable, especially when there are no credible candidates to keep him on his toes)
