Hugh MacKinnon is quoted in "Global Future: Calgary's rise to international prominence lures former British prime minister to town." The article, which is published in the October 2007 edition of Business in Calgary magazine, highlights the important role the province of Alberta plays on the international stage when it comes to global politics and international business, oil and the Middle East. This international prominence is further highlighted by the upcoming visit of former British prime minister Tony Blair. At the end of October, Blair will deliver a presentation and take part in a Q&A session in front of a crowd of 1500 business elite in Calgary , his first Canadian engagement and the only destination at which he will be speaking.
