Oil groups uneasy over potential energy tax changes
Calgary based oil executives said scant optimism surrounds reports of small tax relief from Ottawa. Analysts expect offsets to the Petroleum and Gas Revenue Tax and the incremental tax, with Gulf Oil Canada noting little impact from a claimed one percent rollback. Imperial Oil warned even minor relief helps but not enough to restore cash flow, as the energy program faces distrust among industry leaders.

Snow shuts down Maple Creek area amid heavy storm
A freak storm dumped over 50 centimetres of snow in parts of the Cypress Hills and Maple Creek region. Highway 41 to Elkwater was closed as crews battled heavy wet snow and drifts up to 1.3 metres. Winds to 80 kmh reduced visibility, with slush and stranded vehicles reported across Maple Creek and as far south as the US border. The Maple Creek rodeo and parade were postponed due to outages and blocked roads. Weather officials attributed the storm to a low over Montana moving east, while Medicine Hat and Banff regions saw mixed rain and snow with improving conditions anticipated.
