Robert Kennedy's star-studded environmental fundraiser in Alberta's Rocky Mountains has irritated the province's environment minister, Lorne Taylor. Kennedy has invited dozens of American stars and celebrities to Banff this week to raise money for water preservation projects, including the Bow River in southern Alberta. But in Taylor's words, "we don't need a bunch of rich Americans coming to Alberta and telling us how to manage our resources."
