Alberta Surplus Sparks Energy Policy Warning from Nelson
Alberta Premier Nelson warns Ottawa against repeating the 1980s National Energy Program as the province reports a first quarter surplus revised higher than forecast.

The surplus widens as oil revenues beat expectations while debt is tracked for elimination by spring, aligning with a potential early election for Premier Ralph Klein.
