CALGARY - Workers from the front lines of the energy sector are calling on the oil companies to speak out about the serious threat Kenney’s policies will have on their future. They know that the industry must change. Diversification is the only way it will survive and the NDP’s plan will save Alberta from economic ruination in the energy sector.
The oil patch CEOs know it too. Suncor’s CEO once said, “Kenney’s approach of ignoring what our potential customers really want puts both investment and jobs at risk.”
A few years ago, leaders from some of oil’s biggest companies stood alongside Premier Rachel Notley in full support of the climate action plan.
Now, they remain silent. Thousands of workers, who face the possibility of losing their jobs, are asking why, when so much is at stake.
