Alberta Premier on path to push province toward its potentialhttp://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/alberta-premier-on-path-to-push-province-toward-its-potential/article2242260/?utm_medium=Feeds%3A%20RSS%2FAtom&utm_source=Home&utm_content=

Ms. Redford this week crisscrossed the continent, visiting Washington, New York, Toronto, Ottawa and home to Alberta with a message: Alberta must stop turning a deaf ear to critics of Alberta’s oil sands and petroleum extraction but include them in decisions.
She said the province “can’t shy away from criticism and disagreement” because “too often we speak past each other and refuse to engage with those that see things differently.”
With praise for the Ontario government’s support of wind and solar energy, Ms. Redford introduced the potential for interprovincial co-operation on matters from health care to energy. She invited Ontario, in economic disrepair because of the retreat of its manufacturing base, to adopt a new destiny and become a global energy leader along with Alberta.
She went further, saying no single source of energy across Canada – from Alberta to Quebec’s hydro power – is better than any other.
“It’s not Alberta’s job to go to the table, pounding the fist and saying, ‘We demand anything because we’re Alberta,” Ms. Redford said in an interview. “What I will say is Alberta wants to be much more present than we have in the past.”
She is not without problems – the province has a soaring budget deficit, and Ms. Redford has been accused of breaking promises made during her successful leadership campaign in the early fall, raising questions about whether she can deliver on her ambitious national agenda. And at home in Alberta, Ms. Redford will face an election within six months.

Ask follow-up questions: listen to the answers
Be conversational: be informal, refrain from being overly scripted
