Alberta is in an economic crisis with important decisions facing the province in 2019.
To better prepare Albertans for what’s lying ahead, Integrated Wealth Management is bringing together investment, economic and political experts in the Alberta Crossroads 2019 event. These experts will focus on Alberta’s economic crisis and provide solutions for people.
The event is being held on Saturday, March 16, at Mount Royal University. Organizers say speakers will talk about solutions to preserve your nest egg through the next crisis; how to prudently maximize investment returns today; opportunities in precious metals and other emerging markets; capitalizing on political and economic trends; and economic policies all Albertans should advocate for to improve our prosperity.
Organizers say the event is “an antidote to the chaos unfolding in Alberta, to protect families from being hurt further by the perfect storm of bad policy, attacks from the enviro-radicals with no push-back from the energy industry, and a blasé federal government that appears intent on killing the energy industry.”
The problems, they say, include massive job losses in the private sector and huge public sector hiring by the NDP, a struggling energy sector that hasn’t recovered with the rebound in world oil prices, no pipelines, a massive loss of confidence by large investors globally. There is also growing frustration with both the federal and provincial governments.
“Many Albertans are openly angry. The new risk: credible Alberta business and political thought leaders are making cogent arguments for separation, and there is rapidly-growing support for this idea,” say organizers.
