I,
      John

      have
      reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of True North Energy
      Corporation.




2.  Based
      on
      my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material
      fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made,
      in
      light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading
      with respect to the period covered by this report;




3.  Based
      on
      my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included
      in this report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition,
      results of operations and cash flows of the smaller reporting company issuer
      as
      of, and for, the periods presented in this report;




4.  The
      smaller reporting company issuer’s other certifying officers and I are
      responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures
      (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the smaller
      reporting company issuer and have;




(a)  Designed
      such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls
      and
      procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material
      information relating to the smaller reporting company issuer, including its
      consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities,
      particularly during the period in which this report is being
      prepared;




(b)  Designed
      such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control
      over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide
      reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
      preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
      generally accepted accounting principles;




(c)  Evaluated
      the effectiveness of the smaller reporting company issuer’s disclosure controls
      and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the
      effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the
      period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and




(d)  Disclosed
      in this report any change in the smaller reporting company issuer’s internal
      control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by
      this
      report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
      affect, the smaller reporting company issuer’s internal control over financial
      reporting; and




5.  The
      smaller reporting company issuer’s other certifying officers and I have
      disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over
      financial reporting, to the smaller reporting company issuer’s auditors and the
      audit committee of smaller reporting company issuer’s board of directors (or
      persons performing the equivalent functions):




(a)  All
      significant deficiencies and material weakness in the design or operation of
      internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to
      adversely affect the smaller reporting company issuer’s ability to record,
      process, summarize and report financial information; and




(b)  Any
      fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees
      who
      have a significant role in the smaller reporting company issuer’s internal
      control over financial reporting.
