Premier Ed Stelmach’s effort to polish the image of the oilsands among those U.S. politicians critical of mining operations is receiving praise from former Alberta premier Peter Lougheed.

Glen Schmidt was named one of Alberta's 50 Most Influential People by Alberta Venture Magazine.

Pat Nelson joined Rutherford on AM770 to discuss the PR problem currently surrounding the oil sands.

John Hofmeister, the former president of Shell Oil, describes in his book the lamentable inability of the industry to get its message out to a public. Pat Nelson, vice chair of IOSA, agrees.
