EDMONTON (CITYNEWS) – Thousands of Albertans are voicing their concerns nearly two weeks after the province announced the planned curtailment of oil production through all of next year. Fears continue to swirl in Alberta as an economy-driving industry struggles to remain afloat; many people have been forced out of work due to massive layoffs and cutbacks. At least two major rallies set for Sunday and Monday are aiming to draw attention to just that. Organizers of a pro-pipeline rally in Grande Prairie are expecting more 6,000 people to attend the event on Sunday afternoon. “People are frustrated, people are concerned, and people scared. And they should be!” shared co-organizer Taylor Horwath, who was inspired to get other Albertans out after a rally in Drayton Valley drew more than a thousand people last week.
