Ooops. Dec 7, 2012. "AltaGas withdraws permit to export to U.S."
"AltaGas filed the application in error, and has no plans to sell power from Alberta to the U.S. We expect to withdraw the application," said AltaGas spokesperson Neil Mackie.

Cellucci writes that Alberta’s former Energy Minister Murray Smith “and others” want the U.S. government to be “aware that over time there will be tremendous electricity co-generation available as a result of the huge thermal needs of the oil sands refining process.” “This could over time make significant new electricity exports available to the United States.” The diplomatic cable also reveals Alberta’s provincial ministers and energy sector executives “broadly” supported “U.S. goals in Iraq” and resented former federal Natural Resource Minister Herb Dhaliwal’s assertion that former U.S. President George Bush was a “failed statesman.”

Who's Gary Mar?

Alison Redford is much better.

These jerks just ride back in from the lobby farm and think their bed's still made.

Alberta's lobbying pitch was not merely being sold in Washington though. Wherever a clean energy law targeting the oil sands was proposed in states across America, the province's former U.S. representative, Gary Mar, intervened.

He did so with the help of Canadian consulates across the country. Those satellites of northern influence helped him gain access to state legislatures and their representatives, Frazer says.

Mar -- who's now running for Alberta premier -- spoke out against clean energy laws in Wisconsin, Maryland, Pennsylvania and at least nine other states.

Nice.
