Macdonald defends two price oil plan amid Alberta backlash
Ottawa faces sharp debate as Energy Minister Donald Macdonald flies to Alberta to sell the export tax on Alberta crude sold to the United States.

He cites talks with U.S. officials and says Alberta’s oil can compete globally, urging responsibility to all of Canada.
