Why it matters
The conflict is linked to geopolitical competition that is reshaping global supply chains. Higher world oil prices, driven by the conflict, have helped improve the fiscal standing of the Government of Alberta. Federal books have also seen improvement due to stronger GST receipts and higher personal and corporate income tax revenues.
