    The Valuation of the Alberta Oil Sands

    The Alberta oil sands reserves represent a very valuable energy resource for Canadians. In 2007, Statistics Canada valued the oil sands at 342.1billion,or5percentCanadastotaltangiblewealthof342.1 billion, or 5 per cent Canada's total tangible wealth of 6.9 trillion. Given the oil sands' importance, it is essential to value them appropriately. In this report, we critically review the methods used by Statistics Canada in their valuation of the Alberta oil sands. We find that the official Statistics Canada estimates of the reserves (22.0 billion barrels) of Alberta's oil sands are very small compared to those obtained using more appropriate definitions, which results in an underestimation of the true value of the oil sands. Moreover, the failure to take into account the projected growth of the industry significantly magnifies this underestimation. We provide new estimates of the present value of oil sands reserves based on a set of alternative assumptions that are, we argue, more appropriate than those used by Statistics Canada. We find that the use of more reasonable measures of the total oil sands reserves (172.7 billion barrels), extraction rate (a linear increase from 482 million barrels per year in 2007 to 1,350 million barrels in 2015, and constant thereafter) and price (70perbarrel,2007CAD)increasestheestimatedpresentvalueoftheoilsandsto70 per barrel, 2007 CAD) increases the estimated present value of the oil sands to 1,482.7 billion (2007 CAD), 4.3 times larger than the official estimate of 342.1billion.Usingourpreferredestimate,Canadastotaltangiblewealthincreasesby342.1 billion. Using our preferred estimate, Canada’s total tangible wealth increases by 1.1 trillion (17 per cent), and reaches 8.0trillionwithoilsandsnowaccountingfor18percentofCanadastangiblewealth.TheimportanceoftheserevisionsisalsodemonstratedbytheirimpactonthepercapitawealthofCanadians,whichincreasesfrom8.0 trillion with oil sands now accounting for 18 per cent of Canada’s tangible wealth. The importance of these revisions is also demonstrated by their impact on the per-capita wealth of Canadians, which increases from 209,359 to 243,950,orby243,950, or by 34,591 (or 17 per cent). Given the importance of the oil sands for Canada, Statistics Canada should undertake a review of its methodology. In light of the growing body of climatologic literature supporting an association between anthropogenic GHG emissions and global climate change, no analysis of the „true value? of the oil sands would be complete without an accounting of the social costs of the GHG emissions that arise from oil sands development. According to our baseline estimates, the oil sands impose a total social cost related to GHG emissions of 69.4billion.Inmakingthisestimate,weassumethateachbarrelofoilsandsoutputimposesasocialcostof69.4 billion. In making this estimate, we assume that each barrel of oil sands output imposes a social cost of 2.25 (based on a cost of 30/tCO2eandanintensityof0.075tCO2e/bbl).OurpreferredestimateofthenetpresentvalueofoilsandswealthnetofGHGcostisthus30/tCO2-e and an intensity of 0.075 tCO2-e/bbl). Our preferred estimate of the net present value of oil sands wealth net of GHG cost is thus 1,413.3 billion, 4.1 times greater than the Statistics Canada estimate which does not account for any environmental costs. This report does not account for non-GHG related environmental and social costs. A comprehensive valuation of all environmental costs are needed to assess whether future benefits derived from oil sands development are outweighed by even larger environmental costs.Cost-Benefit, Oil Sands, Environmental Damage, CO2 Emissions, Alberta, Energy, Natural Resources, Valuation

    Newspaper Article - 'History of the Alberta Women's Institutes' - by Les Dunford - Barrhead Leader, July 28, 1997AWI CollectionHistory of the Alberta Women's Institute LES DUNFORD T& C Editor T he Alberta Women's In­stitute ( AWI) has been around since 1909. The AWI movement began in On­tario 100 years ago. Now, there is a book just recently out about the fasci­nating story of the Alberta Women's Institute. " Many and Remarkable," written by Catherine C. Cole and Judy Larmour is that sto­ry, and explores Alberta women's role in the events that have marked our history. Esther Brown, who works on the farm with her husband Earl, has been an AWI mem­ber for many years. She re­cently read the book and says " There sure was a lot of work done by AWI members through the years from wel­coming immigrants, war brides, helping with food, clothing, etc., to other coun- B a r r h e a d L e a d e r , J u l y 2 8 , 1997 The book talks about the beginnings of AWI in Alberta in 1909 as a small group of isolated women around Lea Park, to an extensive network of branches throughout the province today tries in war years, and much more." She feels it is a well writ­ten book that allows the read­er to familiarize themselves in what WI has done and what they stand for. " Many and Remarkable" contains stories of pioneering and the challenges and achievements of women. Through their efforts, they have advocated on behalf of the legal rights of women and children. The book also talks about the development of public ed­ucation and health care sys­tems; and homefront activity during the First and Second World Wars. It looks at the AWI role in international peace and development, and their consistent interest in agricultural issues and farm safety. It is a remarkable record of service by and for women throughout the province, and includes a complete list of AWI branches in Alberta. The book talks about the beginnings of AWI in Alberta in 1909 as a small group of isolated women around Lea Park, to an extensive network of branches throughout the province today. Many and Remarkable is the result of extensive archival and oral history re­search and makes an impor­tant contribution to both women's history and to the history of Alberta. Copies are available while they last at $ 24.95 each, plus shipping, handling and tax/ and can be obtained from any AWI member, or ordered through the AWI office at Suite 220. 10403 - 172 Street, Edmonton, Alberta, T5S 1K9.

Snaps ’ft’ Scraps...................... advertising and indexYear by year the motif of the Evergreen and Gold changes, and in this, our twenty- seventh publication, we are again faced with the selection of an appropriate one. The war suggested patriotic themes; peace presented new problems. The solution of intricate world problems requires expert leadership. Our boys who have returned from the battlefronts all over the world realize that education is essential for this leadership, so they have enrolled by the hundreds in this and other universities. To accommodate them the University must expand, and is doing so as rapidly as shortages and strikes will permit. The steel construction of the Medical Building, the Nissen Huts, the Nurses’ Residence, the plans for the Stu­dents’ Union Building are familiar to us all. Small wonder then that we chose for our motif “expansion and construction on the campus of the University of Alberta.” Although our motif changes, our objective remains the constant. This is your book, a tangible reminder of the busy weeks and months you spent on this campus, listening to lectures, “cramming” in the library, consuming numerous cups of coffee in Tuck or Caf, attending House Dances and formals in the “Drill Shed” or taking part in sports and club activities. Our objective is to present you with a graphic and pictorial record of the year 1946-47, when you were a student at the University of Alberta. But it would be a presumption to detain you further—turn over the pages and follow our little construction bear, through this volume to see for yourself what we mean by “our expanding University.”Professor Emeritus James Adam Donald Ewing Cameron Dr. John Keith Fife Mr. Albert Edward Ottewell Dr. Henry Marshall Tory Brother Morwan Walter Section Editors: Dave Shouldice Alex Harper ASSISTANTS: Grant Dunsmore Eileen Nelson Gwen Guild May Griffith Ruth Murrayy faculty and campus president’s message PRESIDENT ROBERT NEWTON, M.C., B.S.A., M.Sc., Ph.D., D.Sc., F.R.S.C. Astronomers tell us the universe is expanding. At least there is no doubt that the bounds of our interests and contacts within our own little corner of the universe are being pushed outwards more and more rapidly, and that much constructive work is needed to offset the disintegrating effects of the centrifugal forces so developed. Therefore in choosing “expansion and construction” as the general theme for the 1946-47 Evergreen and Gold the editor has hit upon something that should appeal to every student. To build is an instinct almost universal in the animate world. Bees build nests, rod­ents build tunnels, men build houses, all for the purpose of improving or safeguarding their conditions of life. But mankind is unique in its capacity for building in the realm of mind and conscience. The state of the world today is ample evidence that we have concentrated too much on material things. We have built motor cars of great mechanical efficiency, but not the good manners that would insure careful driving and comparable safety. We have built roads, bridges, streamlined trains, ships, aeroplanes, telecommunications, all the physical concomitants of one world, but not the character, social justice, and ethics to fit us to be citizens of such a world. Here then is a challenge to university students and graduates, to dedicate their tal­ents, be they one or ten, to the realization of the kind of world God has made possible. Native gifts are not enough. Even education is not enough. There must be devotion to high ideals; there must be intensity of purpose; there must be a spirit of sacrifice. George Frederick Handel, a man of great gifts and thorough training, had also the foregoing supplementary qualities. While writing “The Messiah”, his crowning achieve­ment, he said, “The heavens opened to me, and I saw God.” That vision may come to us too, if we throw ourselves wholeheartedly into the work of building an expanding world. 12 THE HON.

During the 1914-15 term, on completion of the building, the library and offices were moved from Athabasca Hall to their present position. In 1925 a memorial organ was installed in Convocation Hall in honor of the students who gave their lives in the war of 1914-18. It was rededicated to the fallen of World War II in the fall of ’46. Annually on Armistice Day, Professor Nichols, Organist to the University, gives a memorial recital. It is hoped that with the expansion of the University, sciences will be removed to per­manent quarters, leaving the Arts Building exclusively for the teaching of Arts subjects. The Arts Building houses Con Hall, the bookstore, the administrative offices, the library, the Wauneita room, the Post Office, a geologi­cal museum, lecture rooms, labs, and once a year the Engineers’ Parade.

Since then it has seen many changes . . . new departments have been squeezed in, profs and students have come and gone and the University has grown up. Hut accommodation has been provided for the Provincial Lab which moved in with all the pomp and ceremony generally attributed to a new building. At present, two new wings are being added to remedy some of the over-crowding. The east wing will house the Med. library, Dentistry faculty and the Bacteriology department. The Chemistry department and chemical engineers eventually will expand into the new west wing. The Med. Building is the home of the Medical and Dentistry faculties, the Medical and Chemical libraries, Zoological show cases and the two amphitheatre lecture rooms. In the famous labs, Chem. 40 students fight for bench space, Med. students find out what makes them tick, House Eccers distract Honors Chem. students and Dents practice on fellow sufferers. Even at night the lights blaze in Med. for night labs, choir practices, scientific films, Philosoph meetings and dozens of other activities. 24 pathology J. J. OWER, V.D., B.A., M.D., C.M., F.R.C.P.

Fratkin 27 SOLID COMFORT The University of Alberta Hospital, opened in 1922 as the Strathcona Hospital, was created by an Act of Provincial Legisla­ture in 1929. It is governed by a Board consisting of six appointed members and guided by the advice of the Medical Advisory Board. The University Hospital conducts an extensive training pro­gram in connection with the University. From their third year to their Senior internship, medical students attend clinics and operations, and in general learn to apply the theory they have learned. Student nurses train in these wards and learn how to carry out the doctor’s instructions. Student dietitians, too, may take their internship at the University Hospital in preparation for the day when they take charge of a hospital kitchen themselves. 28 superintendent A. C.

It was named after one of the University’s outstanding surgeons, Colonel Warren Hastings Mewburn. The sunny wards are very modern. Each bed has radio ear­phones so that all patients may listen to the latest news, music or drama without bothering their neighbors. Each ward has a sitting room which has been furnished by some service club or organization. Up-patients may get away from the usual hospital surroundings during the day or entertain their friends in these rooms during visiting hours. On the main floor is a theatre where concerts, parties, dances, and shows are sponsored for all the patients. Here too, is a canteen . , . the “Tuck Shop” of the Col.

Building, was built as a temporary structure after the last war, but seems to have become a permanent part of Alberta’s campus. Primarily it is the University power plant, but the “wireworms”—third and fourth year electricals to the uneducated— also have lecture rooms and labs located here. They have all the equipment of the Power House at their disposal for practical training. The Department of Extension is quar­tered in this building. It is the aim of this department to spread the benefits of U. of A. throughout the province by sponsoring dramatics and lecture tours. Large libraries of films, records and information are also ready to serve the public. Tucked in with the Electrical Engineers CAMPUS HOT SPOT and the Department of Extension is the Animal Nutrition Lab of the Faculty of Agriculture. In 1945 an addition was made to house a great deal of necessary equipment and the size of the building was nearly doubled. 32 electrical engineering DIRECTOR DONALD CAMERON Back Row: A. S. R.

The THE WAY TO A MAN’S HEART Engineers seldom regard the South Lab. as a formid­able lecture building because its bridge games and bull sessions do much to give it an air of informality. Since it was built in 1918 it has been periodically renovated and remodelled. The eastern end is now occupied by the Civil Engineers who are just waiting for the day when House Ec. and Dairying are moved and they have the whole building to themselves. western half of the first floor was originally the staff garage but now is occupied by the Dairy Department, the Agriculture library and a quick-feezing unit. The Engineers aren’t the only ones who enjoy infor­mality— the Ag. Library too, is noted for its congenial atmosphere. Whispering and tip-toeing are not required and comfortable high-backed chairs are provided for afternoon napping. 34 household e

    Gli accordi di integrazione economica regionale e il diritto dell'Organizzazione Mondiale del Commercio

    No full text
    La sfida più grande che oggi si trova ad affrontare l’Organizzazione Mondiale del Commercio (OMC) è rappresentata dalla proliferazione di accordi di integrazione economica regionale, quali ad esempio l’Unione europea, il NAFTA, il MERCOSUR. Di queste intese regionali, molte delle quali sono bilaterali, se ne contano attualmente nel mondo più di 200 effettivamente in vigore. In quanto prevedono la concessione di preferenze commerciali tra le parti contraenti, questi accordi sono per loro natura in conflitto con i principi non–discriminatori su cui si fondano gli scambi commerciali multilaterali regolati dal diritto dell’OMC. Dopo aver analizzato le disposizioni normative con cui l’OMC disciplina la creazione e il successivo funzionamento delle integrazioni regionali, l’autrice di questo libro ne mette in luce le croniche lacune e inefficienze. Partendo dall’individuazione di alcuni settori di politica economica, come l’accesso ai mercati, la regolamentazione delle barriere tecniche e normative, il regime delle salvaguardie, che ricadono nella competenza sia dell’OMC che delle integrazioni economiche regionali, vengono successivamente identificate ed esaminate varie fattispecie concrete di conflitto materiale tra il sistema giuridico che governa gli scambi multilaterali, da un lato, e i vari sistemi giuridici per l’integrazione regionale, dall’altro. Viene infine proposta una ricostruzione complessiva dei termini giuridici alla luce dei quali interpretare l’attuale rapporto tra OMC e integrazioni economiche regionali.Today, the proliferation of Regional Trade Agreements (RTAs), such as the European Union, the NAFTA and the MERCOSUR, represents one of the hardest challenges for the World Trade Organization (WTO). There are approximately 200 existing RTAs, most of which are grounded on bilateral agreements. Since RTAs provide for the concession of trade preferences among contracting parties, by nature these agreements conflict with the non-discrimination principles governing the multilateral trading exchanges under the law of the WTO. In her book, the author firstly analyses the WTO legal rules envisaging the creation and functioning of RTAs, identifying the systemic shortcomings and inadequacy of such rules; secondly, she focuses on specific economic policy areas - e.g. the market access, the technical barriers to trade, the safeguards – which are regulated by both the WTO and the RTAs and she afterwards singles out and describes several practical cases of law conflicts between the WTO multilateral system and the partial legal systems of the RTAs; finally, she suggests an overall reset of the legal terms and meanings through which providing an interpretation of the current relationship between the WTO and the RTAs

    Framing a New Standard for Teaching in Alberta

    Get PDF
    A research panel asked to frame the discussion for a new Teaching Quality Standard in Alberta assumes this task requires a paradigm shift away from the status quo efficiency movement. As a member of the panel, the author provides an analysis of paradigm shifts in education and recounts important lessons to be learned. The author challenges the notion that the alternative paradigm posed by an emerging knowledge society provides the best framework to define quality teaching. To accentuate the centrality of relationships, the author offers culture-making as a preferred paradigm where who teachers are is valued as much as what teachers do. Un groupe de recherche à qui on a demandé de délimiter une discussion sur une nouvelle norme pour la qualité de l’enseignement en Alberta part du principe que la tâche exige que l’on délaisse le mouvement actuel prônant l’efficacité. L’auteur, membre de ce groupe de recherche, analyse les changements de paradigme en éducation et rappelle les leçons importantes à tirer de cette évolution. L’auteur conteste la notion que le paradigme alternatif que pose la société de la connaissance émergeante constitue la meilleure base sur laquelle axer l’enseignement de qualité. Il propose plutôt un paradigme reposant sur la création de la culture selon lequel les enseignants sont appréciés pour ce qu’ils sont autant que pour ce qu’ils font

    Callers’ experiences of contacting a national suicide prevention helpline

    Get PDF
    Background: Helplines are a significant phenomenon in the mixed economy of health and social care. Given the often anonymous and fleeting nature of caller contact, it is difficult to obtain data about their impact and how users perceive their value. This paper reports findings from an online survey of callers contacting Samaritans emotional support services. Aims: To explore the (self-reported) characteristics of callers using a national suicide prevention helpline and their reasons given for contacting the service, and to present the users’ evaluations of the service they received. Methods: Online survey of a self-selected sample of callers. Results: 1,309 responses were received between May 2008 and May 2009. There were high incidences of expressed suicidality and mental health issues. Regular and ongoing use of the service was common. Respondents used the service for complex and varied reasons and often as part of a network of support. Conclusions: Respondents reported high levels of satisfaction with the service and perceived contact to be helpful. Although Samaritans aims to provide a crisis service, many callers do not access this in isolation or as a last resort, instead contacting the organization selectively and often in tandem with other types of support
