Saskatchewan, the virtuous.
Saskatchewan goes to Alberta to steal some oil business
In front of several hundred people from all facets of the oil and gas industry, Saskatchewan's economy minister pitched his province as the land of stability.
Bill Boyd began and concluded his speech boasting about the province's safe and secure resource royalties, a contrast to Alberta where the NDP government is pledging to review its royalties.
Boyd sees an opportunity to capitalize on the uncertainty in neighbouring Alberta and steal away some business.
"We've always been in competition," said Boyd about Saskatchewan and Alberta competing for oil and gas investment. "Certainly we've had productive conversations here in Calgary."
