America’s First Oil Sands Producer and Other Natural Resources Surprises: Interview with Peter Epstein
Kenney to consider local exemptions to TFW program after provincial complaints – See more at: http://www.hrreporter.com/articleview/21737-kenney-to-consider-local-exemptions-to-tfw-program-after-provincial-complaints#sthash.HmmqMz7D.dpuf
Employment Minister Jason Kenney said Friday he’s willing to consider “local exemptions” to his recent overhaul of the temporary foreign worker program.
Kenney said he’ll consider changes in specific areas with very low levels of unemployment in regions with a higher level.
But Kenney made it clear he won’t compromise on the core goal of his controversial overhaul to the program: Making sure employers don’t use it as a cheap source of labour when they could be hiring unemployed Canadians.
“I did reiterate that these important changes are designed to ensure that Canadians always come first in our job market and that the temporary foreign worker program is only a last, limited and temporary resort,” Kenney said in Charlottetown after a meeting with provincial labour ministers.
Kenney said that after listening to the concerns of the provinces and territories, he is taking the grievances seriously.

Edelman Makes a Climate Change Pledge, but Forgets About ALEC
Edelman, the world’s largest PR company, synonymous with astroturf-style front groups and dirty tricks, has announced that it will no longer work for groups that deny climate change. The PR firm represents many of the world’s most polluting companies, and numerous front groups for polluters, including the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).

Black Cat Farm: Aiming for energy independence
When Wayne Tatlow purchased his acre and a quarter of land a little less than three years ago, there was nothing on the property but blackberries and a small driveway. Coming from Canmore, Alberta, he had big dreams for the place. “I wanted to not be working for a utility company,” says Tatlow. “When I left Canmore, you were not allowed to put up solar and I really wanted to be self-sufficient in energy, and also as much as possible in food. So that’s what I was aiming for when I started building this place.” [Read More…]Julia Strickland, Leading Californian Litigator, on Getting to the Top in Law – See more at: http://www.thenextwomen.com/2012/12/21/julia-strickland-leading-californian-litigator-getting-top-law#sthash.rK6XRXEF.dpuf
