The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday, Aug. 7, edition that warm tributes did not flow on Wednesday when former Alberta premier Alison Redford bid her farewell to politics. The Globe's Jeffrey Jones writes that Ms. Redford, looking back at her record, said Wednesday she would have done things differently. Mr. Jones ponders her past efforts on energy and the environment. Mr. Jones notes that Ms. Redford made several trips to Washington to promote TransCanada's Keystone XL pipeline, but failed to change anyone's mind. Her trips to Washington became a cause celebre for environmental groups. The Globe notes that nearly six years after TransCanada filed to build Keystone, the application remains in limbo. Alberta provided no incentive to United States President Barack Obama by moving forward with tougher carbon rules. On the Enbridge front, Ms. Redford had unnecessary scraps with B.C. Premier Christy Clark over bitumen pipelines. The two leaders patched things up last year, and officials from both provinces met to find common ground on five stipulations that Ms. Clark has said must be met. So far, nothing formal has been announced beyond a "framework agreement" to access new markets.
