Lamphier: Northern Gateway not essential to oilsands growth


By Gary Lamphier, The Edmonton Journal, June 19th, 2014

EDMONTON - In the end, it was an utterly predictable decision.
Ditto for the storm of protest that followed it, particularly on the West Coast.

Despite all the drama, the Harper government’s approval of Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline project was about as shocking as the Oilers’ eighth-straight year out of the NHL playoffs.

Ditto for the Sturm und Drang that erupted among pipeline foes immediately after Ottawa issued a cryptic news release announcing its ruling late Tuesday.

“The war is on: Protesters set sights on Harper after Northern Gateway decision,” blared a headline in The Globe and Mail. “The Northern Gateway decision is dangerous and unacceptable,” fumed The Huffington Post. FOLLOW THIS ARTICLE

In its Competitive Alternatives 2014: Focus on Tax report released Tuesday, KPMG compared the total tax burden faced by companies in 10 countries and 107 cities.

Among 15 Canadian cities, the accounting and consulting firm ranked Edmonton at the top, up from its second-place finish in a 2012 report.

“It’s a very positive story for what I’ll call the Edmonton Advantage of attracting business to northern Alberta,” said Barry Travers, business unit leader for tax in western Canada at KPMG.  GRAB THIS STORY

The seller, Seattle-based NCA Partners, a private equity firm that purchased control of NCSG in 2006 and has since supported its aggressive acquisition-driven growth plan, will retain a minority interest in the company.  READ MORE HERE
