Clean Energy SABOTAGE and the Oil Boss Endgame

Is Alberta skating where the puck is going or are we just pulling our goalies?

Season 1, episode 13
30 min / Published

This month's guest is Gil McGowan, president of the Alberta Federation of Labour, representing 175,000 unionized Alberta workers from both the public and private sectors. Gil recently penned an op-ed for the Tyee entitled "Alberta Workers See Their Future. Denial Blocks the View" and his organization published in 2022 a roadmap for a prosperous Alberta that leads the energy transition instead of hiding from it entitled 'Skate to where the Puck Is Going.' Both pieces are required reading for any Albertan that cares about where our province is going during this critical time. We talk about this critical moment in Alberta's history and how to get back on the ice.
