Dear Friends and Partners,

It’d be easy to bemoan the economy and you’d think I’m doing that with the selection of news picks below. But, in fact I’m not. If there is one thing about Albertans, it's their resilience. Through hardship and challenging financial times, strong businesses has been forged. Alberta will rise like a Phoenix from the fire… and for now it is tough. I’m hopeful that 2017 Q2 will start to show some stability. If oil improves, that will smooth out the ride. In the meantime you can see what the young ones are starting up...
