The Mark News - Where the Oil Sand Owners Stand
Ken Chapman has published an article in TheMarkNews.com which outlines the results of the conjoint surveys done by Cambridge Strategies that has pinpointed the leadership and governance values and types of environmental protections Albertans see as crucial for the successful and continued development of the oilsands.
"Albertans want a new narrative on oil sands development, a survey suggests. Get rich quick? No, they want to prosper, but they also want sensible policy. As owners of the oil sands, Albertans are defensive about them, and it's easy to see why. The negative comments on the subject from the Copenhagen Summit and the recent "Rethink Alberta" dirty oil billboard campaign in the U.S. have made Alberta the political bull's-eye for environment and climate-change thought leaders.
To better understand how Albertans feel about oil sands development, my firm, Cambridge Strategies, did a conjoint survey to determine the value priorities Albertans feel should drive and guide oil sands development." Read the full article here.
