Timon and Pumba promised me no worries for the rest of my days and frankly I'm starting to lose trust in both meerkats and warthogs.

Donald Trump calling FIFA to overturn the suspension of noted birthright citizen Folarin Balogun the same week SCOTUS rules against him on eliminating birthright citizenship is peak Trump.

[Courtney Theriault @cspotweet]

Every FIFA peace prize winner in history has had the power to override one World Cup suspension, this isnt new.

What's your take on the Alberta- Ottawa pipeline deal?

Not everyone is a fan, including one former Ralph Klein minister.

We debate the proposed project on the spiciest political panel on radio.

"It's important that we get this done." — @timhodgsonmt responds to claims that taxpayers could fund up to 90% of a new pipeline.

He argues it's the country's biggest economic project and says it will generate billions of dollars for Canada.

"Even before we filed the claim, we were advised that there was an instance in Edmonton where two victims of domestic abuse were compelled to move."

Lawyer Steven Cooper says he's been inundated with calls since submitting a class action lawsuit proposal over the Alberta voters' list breach.

And he claims they have several instances where lives have already been directly impacted.

"I have grave concerns about how this number was reached and the fairness of the process itself."

Corb Lund says he was shocked by the number of signatures rejected by Elections Alberta on his anti-coal petition, adding he was also not surprised given government changes and roadblocks, calling the process unreasonable and opaque.

Knocking off unbeaten Cape Verde is huge for the upstart Argentinian program.

[Courtney Theriault @cspotweet]

Wow.

Argentina just became the first team to ever beat Cape Verde at the World Cup.

[Courtney Theriault @cspotweet]

Capo lost but what a verde, verde, verde good effort.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is promising to work with Indigenous groups on a new pipeline to the B.C. coast, but it comes at a time of tense relations.

We should be paid an additional $100 for the time and effort it takes to claim the $100 energy rebates.

Anti-coal mining petition led by musician Corb Lund fails, coming up 5600 signatures short after Elections Alberta verification count.

[Courtney Theriault @cspotweet]

Chatted with @politicalham about the west coast pipeline.

He argues it's not just a bad bet given a potentially shrinking Asian market, but he claims that there's very little appetite among Canadian taxpayers for taking on the bulk of the financial risk in building it

[880CHED @CHED880]

"If you don't have markets for it, why would you build the pipeline?"—@politicalham says a new West Coast pipeline is a "bad" business investment.

He argues China is rapidly electrifying transportation, which accounts for roughly 50% of the oil demand.

[Courtney Theriault @cspotweet]

Premier Smith asked why a private company didn't step up to take full control of the pipeline project.

She says projects have been cancelled or stalled due to regulatory issues costing companies billions.

This arrangement helps alleviate those fears.

[Courtney Theriault @cspotweet]

Premier Danielle Smith is asked how much taxpayer money will be invested into the new west coast pipeline.

She says that remains to be negotiated over time.

[Courtney Theriault @cspotweet]

Premier Smith says they had to de-risk the pipeline after previous projects were cancelled or stalled.

She says Pembine Pipeline gives govt certainty that it's a financially viable project and that govt gives Pembina certainty it gets built in a timely way.

[Courtney Theriault @cspotweet]

Premier Danielle Smith says Alberta chose the southern pipeline path in large part because it will be the fastest, cost effective path to expanding energy exports.

[Courtney Theriault @cspotweet]

PM Mark Carney confirms Trans Mountain Corporation will plan and construct the new west coast pipeline from Alberta to B.C, working alongside Pembina Pipeline.
