Premier Rachel Notley says she will speak at the upcoming Alberta Teachers' Association convention to counter an anticipated keynote speech by anti-pipeline activist Tzeporah Berman.

The ATA has been under fire for inviting Berman, a key opponent of the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion, to speak at its conference on Oct. 13.

"I will be going myself to make the case for Alberta and our industry to grow, to counter misinformation and ensure that the whole story is told," Notley told delegates Thursday at the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association meeting in Red Deer.
You might remember Berman, Notley appointed her to the committee advising Alberta on how to develop the oilsands. She made around $23000 on that comittee even though she compared the oilsands to Mordor and opposed Transmountain. Suddenly Notley feels the need to "counter the misinformation", must be an election coming.
