I support reducing greenhouse gas emissions. I just don’t believe spending tens of billions on carbon capture and storage is the best use of public money. Instead of burying CO₂ underground and committing future generations to monitor it indefinitely like a nuclear waste dumpsite, why aren’t we investing in large-scale reforestation, restoring wetlands and peatlands, and better forest management?

Healthy ecosystems naturally capture carbon while also improving wildlife habitat, water quality, biodiversity, and resilience to wildfires and help fight climate change. Trees take time to grow, which is exactly why we should be planting them today but you cut the tree planting program for this?
If we’re going to spend billions, I’d rather invest in solutions that leave future generations with healthier forests and clearer air rather than infrastructure designed to bury our emissions underground for potential issues and unlimited tax dollars.

Cutting emissions. Catalysing massive private investments in clean tech. Creating thousands of good jobs.

The Pathways Project will be the world’s largest carbon capture, utilisation, and storage project — built right here in Alberta.

How are we going to do that with less voices in parliament from the way our votes are counted? How are we going to do that will policies that discourage investors and growth?

If Alberta is expected to lead, we need more seats at the table, stable policies and predictable rules and timelines that encourage businesses, investors, entrepreneurs and workers to build for the long term.

Going to be hard to get that message across when posting it on an American service -X and most using an American product- Apple.

But we do need more adults running our countries this theatre and relationship is going to get both sides no where other than closer to less reliable partners and more cost to the citizens and businesses.

Hope we in Canada use this time to see our weakness in products and services and trade and build more sustainability for the future.

[🌲 Northern Girl🌲 @NorthernGirl67]

This isn’t a win or lose for either side just more theatre. Just a huge waste of time and media. I don’t think there will be much net profit after expenses for the next 15 years with trade being down and people boycotting the states. This just made Canada look weak and America look arrogant. Hopefully it can break even for the next 15 years since it’s going to take 50+ just to pay it off anyways. 🤦‍♀️

‼️BREAKING

IT GETS WORSE

Carney just admitted that the new 50% shared "economic development fund" that Trump negotiated to open the Gordie Howe bridge

will go entirely to developing the U.S. SIDE!

@PierrePoilievre @charlesadler is such a loser 😂

[🌲 Northern Girl🌲 @NorthernGirl67]

I think we’re actually agreeing about the same thing. The aluminum situation another shows the USA needs Canada in key industries and tariffs hurt their manufacturers too. I’m not arguing against trade either. I’m saying Canada should build more here; start refining more and even building more products, keep more of the value and diversify so we have more options and leverage in the future.

[🌲 Northern Girl🌲 @NorthernGirl67]

We are diversifying, which we should have been doing a long time ago but became heavily reliant on the USA. Unfortunately many imports cannot be replaced by flipping a switch and we will have to turn to less trustworthy trading partners. Our auto, industrial, pharmaceutical, energy and digital systems ( we are using one right now) are integrated with the U.S. Rebuilding those supply chains domestically would take years and enormous investment we don’t have.

We should build Canadian capacity 100% I agree! but cutting off our largest customer would also cut export income, jobs, investments and tax revenue needed to do it which would make everything a lot more expensive and take a very long time.

[🌲 Northern Girl🌲 @NorthernGirl67]

@sscootzs @mario4thenorth But how do we pay back our very large debt?

[🌲 Northern Girl🌲 @NorthernGirl67]

70% of our pensions invested in USA bonds… a lot of the biggest industry in Canada have 40-60% investors from USA…. 70%+ of our trade is with the USA… it would be nice to close our boarders trade with each other and build Canada more sustainable but we aren’t doing that either… agree we should be supplicants to the USA but what should we do?

I’m glad to see Alberta planning for water and grid impacts before they become major issues. Closed-loop cooling and reducing water consumption are smart steps.

I still think there’s another opportunity we shouldn’t overlook. AI data centres produce a tremendous amount of heat. Rather than treating that as waste, why not recover it to heat year-round greenhouses, nearby buildings, or district heating systems? In a northern climate, waste heat is a valuable resource.

I also wonder whether future facilities could take greater advantage of Canada’s climate by incorporating partially underground construction where practical. The earth provides natural insulation, reducing temperature swings and potentially lowering cooling demands over the life of the facility. It costs more upfront, but long-term operating savings could offset part of that investment.

[Danielle Smith @ABDanielleSmith]

Fact check time.

Older data centres required massive amounts of water and took large amounts of electricity from the grid. What Alberta is building is the complete opposite.

@meta's Sturgeon Data Centre will use a closed-loop, liquid-cooled system with dry cooling that requires no operational water use for cooling. In fact, it will use less water than an average Alberta golf course.

The data centre campus will be developed under Alberta’s “bring your own power” approach. Rather than relying solely on Alberta’s electricity grid, the project will combine grid-connected electricity with generation from a new $4.6 billion private-sector funded on-site natural gas power plant, helping protect grid reliability. This will benefit electricity customers across the province by reducing transmission costs by up to six per cent on Albertans’ utility bills.

This Immigrant nailed it.

Canadians traded one of the most stable, competent leaders we’ve had in decades — Harper, who steered us through a global financial crisis without the chaos everyone else faced — for Trudeau. A man who turned a functional country into a complete mess.

Then we sat back and let them break the immigration system on purpose.

We were told it was compassion when they brought in real refugees under Harper. Trudeau flipped the script. He took rich people who weren’t refugees, took their money on the side, gave them status, and we as Canadians just nodded along because “one brown person is as good as another.”

Same scam ran out of Punjab. Jagmeet Singh and his Khalistani lobby promised poor and middle-class families a better life here if they paid up and sold everything. Now those same families are watching their daughters work the streets because there are no jobs and the Canadian dream they were sold doesn’t exist anymore.

The only people who won? The corrupt politicians who lined their pockets on both ends.

Trudeau’s crew. Jagmeet’s crew. They broke this country and they broke a lot of people who came here looking for something better.

We let it happen. That part stings the most.

@dsimieritsch Does corruption ever actually get punched or anything ever happen? Why is Canada funding Brookfield and other countries and wars and elites?

@leetorts73 @JohnHashim4 @WallStreetMav Very interesting… never this taught in Greek mythology in university. Thanks I’ll have to research more into this: btw I appreciate facts and friendly dialogue not “gotchas” and name calling. Thanks 🙏🏻 rudeness doesn’t open minds and hearts.

[🌲 Northern Girl🌲 @NorthernGirl67]

@leetorts73 @JohnHashim4 @WallStreetMav You’re right… but still based on Greek mythology from Ancient Greek people. 🤷‍♀️ it wreaks the immersion of period movies all I’m saying. I loved the book and it make me think what is Ancient Greece really look like.
