Hi Willbrich,

Thank you for your reply post.

I have been passing my opinions (through a friend) to the Premier on a fairly regular basis since last fall.

I think that Ed is looking at the recommendations of the Royalty Commission somewhat differently now.

The opposition, press, and the unions have been brutal to Ed over the campaign. In fact, closer to criminal in their ads, etc.

His respect for the oil patch companies and their needs, in order to function effectively, has grown steadily as he has watched labour, and the enviromentalists etc. try to denigrate his character.

I think the oil and gas industry in Alberta will receive an increasing level of support from Ed's government.

Best Wishes,

Lynn
