Alberta, the source of most of Canada's oil and gas, will refuse to implement the Kyoto treaty on global warming, the province's Environment Minister Lorne Taylor said last week, warning federal leaders the province could take its battle to the Supreme Court.

"Now, we recognize the federal government has every right to sign international agreements, but it's very clear who owns the resource. The people of Alberta own the resources of Alberta."
