Calgary, AB.) - Hungry bears a problem in Fort McMurray: ‘They’re not eating people, they’re after the rotten pizza in your freezer’
Oct 10, 2022 · original
As if the charred remains of houses weren’t enough to give returning Fort McMurray residents the feel of a dystopian movie, add black bears into the mix. “They’re just gluttons, really, they’re not savage beasts eating people; they’re after the rotten pizza in your freezer,” Lee Foote, a conservation biology professor at the University of Alberta, said Thursday. “They’re not after your children. You just don’t want to get in between them and that pizza.” The evacuated city, rife with garbage and food left to rot in bins and freezers, will attract plenty of the furry scavengers Foote likes to think of as “large raccoons.” Alberta has about 40,000 bears, and the area between Fort McMurray and Cold Lake is some of their prime habitat. “We had animals coming in through the golf courses — black bears — and (fire) crews had to stay in place,” said Parkland County fire Chief Brian Cornforth, re - Fort McMurray fire damage not ‘act of God’: Insurance Bureau of Canada

Insurance Bureau of Canada executives held a conference call with journalists Thursday to clear up what they called misconceptions about insurance in the aftermath of the Fort McMurray disaster. Here are answers to some questions compiled from their remarks. Answers were edited for length: Q: Are any claims adjusters in Fort McMurray? A: Bill Adams, vice-president, western and Pacific: “There have been stories on social media and elsewhere about claims adjusters on the ground. I can assure that is not the case. There are people from our industry on the ground in Fort McMurray who have been contracted by the province or the municipality to come in and prepare the critical community assets — the hospital, grocery stores, pharmacies, hotels. We have a number of contractors … cleaning those assets. There are no industry representatives at people’s homes or businesses assessing damages. Q: Wh - Survey suggests Calgarians rate oil and gas more important than water
Oct 10, 2022 · original
A new survey shows Calgarians value the country’s fresh water supply far less than the rest of the country, with a clear majority suggesting oil and gas is Canada’s most important natural resource. The 2016 RBC Canadian Water Attitudes Study found almost half of the 2,100 of Canadians surveyed ranked water as our most valuable natural resource and an increasing number saw climate change as a top threat to fresh water. “Fresh water is still seen as Canada’s most important natural resource by far,” said the survey, noting it’s up to 49 per cent from 47 per cent a year earlier. Except in Calgary, where 55 per cent of respondents said oil and gas is the main natural resource. Only 28 per cent chose water. Areni Kelleppan, executive director of Green Calgary Association, said the results could be a recognition that the city is located in an oil-and-gas province. “Perhaps, just given the econo - Alberta employment insurance claims rise almost 30%

The number of Albertans applying for employment insurance benefits rose almost 30 per cent in February, Statistics Canada reported Thursday. EI claims, which indicate how many people could receive the benefits in the future, rose 29.4 per cent in the province from January. That compared with a national increase of 6.7 per cent. Across Canada, the number of people actually receiving employment insurance benefits increased by two per cent, to 509,300 people in February. In Alberta, 36,000 people received employment insurance, an increase of 15.6 per cent from the previous month. For context, 1.5 per cent of Alberta’s workforce is claiming EI benefits. In Ontario, that number is 1.9 per cent and in B.C. 2 per cent. It was the largest monthly increase in Alberta since 2009, and the fourth consecutive monthly increase for the province. Hardest hit were Albertans working in primary industry, p - Alberta court strikes down labour laws that take away right to strike
Oct 10, 2022 · original
EDMONTON — An Alberta court has struck down two provincial labour laws that took away the right to strike for thousands of public sector workers. Justice Denis Thomas of Court of Queen’s Bench ruled that section 96 of the Labour Relations Code and section 70 of the Public Service Employee Relations Act violate the charter. Thomas gave the government until April 1, 2016 to rewrite the offending sections. The Alberta Union of Provincial Employees had challenged the sections, and say the ruling is a victory for government workers. Union lawyer Pat Nugent says the Alberta government did not oppose the judgement. In January, the Supreme Court of Canada struck down a controversial Saskatchewan law that prevented public-sector employees from striking, saying it was unconstitutional. The high court also gave the Saskatchewan government one year to change its laws. - Alberta job creation pace to slow down in 2015

Alberta was the country’s job creating machine in 2014 but slumping oil prices are expected to slow down the juggernaut in 2015. TD Economics is forecasting employment growth in the province to drop from a nation-leading 3.0 per cent this year to 1.3 per cent in 2015 and 1.2 per cent in 2016. RBC Economics is predicting employment growth of 1.8 per cent next year and 1.4 per cent the following year. “We have seen this recent sharp slide in crude oil prices,” said Laura Cooper, economist with RBC. “So we are expecting that weakness to persist in the first half of next year before market conditions improve and we see those prices stabilize at higher levels. It’s really the near-term where there could be a hit to confidence and firms may slow their pace of hiring. But we’re just seeing that as a near-term and not necessarily indicative of a longer-term trend emerging. “Year-to-date, the pro - Study debunks Canadian labour shortage
Oct 10, 2022 · original
CALGARY — A second study in less than a week has concluded that there is no labour shortage in Canada, nor is one expected to arrive in the next few decades. A study published Friday by a University of Lethbridge professor echoes results of a report by the federal government’s Parliamentary Budget Office released Tuesday — both conclude there are more than enough workers on a national basis in Canada to fill available jobs. The results have implications for the federal government’s temporary foreign worker program and its Canada Jobs Grant program, as well as local initiatives such as Calgary Economic Development’s mission to Ireland this month to encourage skilled workers to move to Alberta. Susan McDaniel, the Canada research chair in global population and life course at the university, said Friday her study backed by a federal grant examined national peer-reviewed research on numerous - Alberta business groups demand action

A coalition of Alberta business groups is calling on the federal and provincial governments to work with industry to address labour shortages in western Canada. “Every sector of the economy will be hit hard by a shortage of workers,” said coalition spokesperson Richard Truscott, Alberta director of the Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses. “Governments and industry must work together quickly to explore opportunities to improve temporary worker and permanent immigration programs to meet the needs of a growing economy.” The Alberta government is forecasting there will be 114,000 more jobs than people to fill them in coming years, he said. This shortage of labour will slow economic growth, costing jobs and reducing government revenue, said business groups. The coalition is asking government to: Change the Federal Skilled Worker Program to place greater emphasis on labour demands. M - Job vacancies in Alberta outstrip available labour
Oct 10, 2022 · original
Alberta continued to be the best place in the country for job-seekers in the fall of 2013. Businesses in the province reported 52,800 vacant jobs in the month of September. Statistics Canada says that is fewer than the previous year, but still the highest number in the country. Bruce Graham, the CEO of Calgary Economic Development, said the city is experiencing its lowest unemployment rate since the recession of 2008. “We’re still considered very much a bright spot in the economic landscape of North America.” Graham said employers are having difficulty recruiting workers. “They’ve had to go further afield to find the right skill sets and find people.” According to Statistics Canada, there are 1.3 million people looking for work across the country which translates to an unemployment rate of 6.9 per cent. Calgary MP Jason Kenney, federal minister of employment and social development, said
