    (Calgary Herald) 
    The new champion of Canadian corporate profits is EnCana, 
    after the Calgary-based energy firm on Thursday reported a 
    $6.5-billion profit for 2006. 
     
    Canada's largest independent energy company overcame a 
    fourth-quarter slump to eclipse the previous best full-year 
    performance in Canadian history -- $5.46 billion -- set by 
    industrial conglomerate BCE Inc. at the height of the tech boom in 
    1999. 
     
  /TX  "We achieved all this in a tough operating environment for the 
    industry marked by record-breaking activity levels," chief executive 
    Randy Eresman said. 
     
    Eresman, marking his first full year as chief executive, described 
    2006 as a "challenging year" in which the company's results were 
    "mixed." 
     
    Even so, the company's profits are noteworthy. Laid end to end, 
    it's enough dollar bills to circle the Earth 22 times or make three 
    one-way trips to the moon. 
     
    EnCana's profits exceeded the gross domestic product of countries 
    such as Fiji and Mongolia. 
     
    The record results come at an awkward time, with the provincial 
    government poised to announce a royalty review panel today meant to 
    ensure Albertans are getting their full share of resource revenues. 
     
    EnCana's stunning results could spark a backlash of public 
    perception of rich oil companies -- especially in light of the fact 
    that Canada's five large integrated oil companies earlier reported 
    profits topping $12 billion for 2006. 
                       (. . .) 
    In October, it announced plans to build a 59-storey office tower 
    dubbed The Bow, a landmark that will transform the city's skyline 
    when it is completed in 2011.
