Abstract

The article presents a case study of Canadian gas company Niko Resources Ltd., which allegedly bribed Energy Minister Mosharraf Hossain of Bangladesh. Hossain was expected to decide on the reparations for Niko, following the accidental explosion caused by its operation of drilling for gas in Bangladesh in January 2005. Niko pleaded guilty in a courtroom in Calgary, Alberta to violating section the "Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act" on June 23, 2011, six years after the bribe happened.

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
