Alberta, South Korea sign joint statement to remove tariff on crude oil exports

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has signed a joint statement with South Korea that includes the removal of a three per cent tariff on crude oil exports from the province, according to an Alberta government release.

Alberta exported $400 million in crude oil to South Korea last year, and the government estimates that figure could increase to as much as $1 billion annually following the change.

Alberta to introduce legislation to end seasonal time changes, premier says

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says the province plans to eliminate twice-a-year clock changes and remain on daylight time year-round, according to comments she made to Postmedia. Smith said the change would mean Albertans would no longer set clocks forward in the spring or back in the fall, instead staying on the current time throughout the year. On a practical level, that would result in darker mornings during winter months but extended daylight in the evening. The premier indicated legislation to implement the change is expected to be introduced later this week. Details of how the transitio
