The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that business leaders across the country said Albertans' overwhelming vote to stay within Canada puts the onus on Ottawa to live up to its promise to boost energy investment in the province. A four-bylined item led by Emma Graney says that while Alberta's business establishment are not known for their getting political, in the lead-up to the vote a smattering of big names loudly spoke out about the economic risks facing Alberta should it entertain secession. Oil patch bosses are now pushing federal and provincial politicians for a renewed focus on multibillion-dollar energy infrastructure projects, including a new pipeline connecting the oil sands to a deepwater port in Vancouver, carbon-capture facilities and expansion of natural gas export terminals. Vern Yu at AltaGas was a vocal proponent for the Remain campaign. He is thankful that Albertans chose to stay within Canada and is "optimistic about the opportunities ahead and confident in what we can achieve together," he said in a statement to the Globe. "Here in Alberta, we have world-class resources, innovative businesses, talented people, and tremendous opportunities ahead of us. Now, it's time to get to work."
