This is amazing to me. When I first started working @bullfrogpower in 2008, Alberta’s electricity grid was about 80% coal fired IIRC….I’d like to think the bullfrog community played a role in this shift.

[Blake Shaffer 📊🇨🇦🇺🇦 @bcshaffer]

Slowly at first, then all at once.

Pretty remarkable and rapid transition away from coal power in Alberta over the past 8 years.

@kingbritt @nmc_canada I had the privilege of working there…it was such a delight to see people’s faces when they realized they could “play with greatness “

[Gary Fredrich-Dunne @captainsegue]

@brettbergie Love this idea! Are you recruiting other shuttle “driver/riders”? (I don’t have a foldie, not sure how that would work?)

[Gary Fredrich-Dunne @captainsegue]

@andrew_leach @ClimateHubYYC What’s interesting to me is the production of “green” hydrogen from water…how does this play ina place/time where we are looking at water constraints?

[Brent & Fred's Excellent Adventure @BrentColman]

Absolutely wild that people watch Question Opera Period and then the gaggle of trained clapping voting seals utterly beholden to Executive Offices and party whips and think "wow this is exactly what will make municipal government better"

@taramacmusic @ecmaofficial Congratulations!

[Gary Fredrich-Dunne @captainsegue]

@hifisetup @bluenoterecords One of my favourite albums that I discovered last year

[Gary Fredrich-Dunne @captainsegue]

@JasonIsbell Just got tickets to your Red Rocks show to celebrate my 50th next May…VERY much looking forward to hearing that tune played live - it wasn’t yet on the set list when I saw you this last spring!

Every time a UCP talking head says that the CPP is unfair because Alberta has paid more into it, remind yourself of this:

Alberta doesn’t pay into CPP.

Albertans do.

And Albertans pay and receive the exact same as any other Canadian.

It’s your pension. Not the UCP’s.

[Gary Fredrich-Dunne @captainsegue]

Infuriating

[Emma Graney 🇦🇺🤷🏻‍♀️🇨🇦 @EmmaLGraney]

Taxpayers funded a report for the Alberta govt about the cost of a net-zero grid, but the govt is refusing to release said report to the public, thus keeping the cost hidden. Nor will the premier’s office release its report on Alberta’s energy future. Cool! #ableg #cdnpoli

@FervorCoulee @mighty580AM @mariadunnmusic @ckuaradio I thought of David this morning, as I often do when passing the Bridgeland LRT station on my bike - sight of our last meeting…RIP good sir.

@CKUAMY1 @GrantStovel @ckuaradio I’ve been repeatedly going back to Night Parade, opener to his second solo album Storyville. The low rumble of that opening Hammond chord is just incredible.

[Catherine McKenna @cathmckenna]

It's really worrying that Conservative Premiers fail to understand the science that continued burning of fossil fuels is causing the climate crisis & that having no serious clean transition strategy puts Canada's economy at serious risk. Lose-Lose.

@hifisetup @bluenoterecords I only recently discovered this album , and it had been a regular go-to these past few weeks. So good.

[Gary Fredrich-Dunne @captainsegue]

@BikeBikeYYC Huh. That’s my daily commute. Want like that on Thursday.

[Gary Fredrich-Dunne @captainsegue]

@missippilive @mighty580AM @YouTube Grateful and lucky to have seen them play a New Year’s Eve gig in calgary many many years ago…memory tells me it may have been their last gig together as a band

[Gary Fredrich-Dunne @captainsegue]

@RonSexsmith Rushmore is a classic. Looking forward to seeing Asteroid City with my son.

[Gary Fredrich-Dunne @captainsegue]

Great stuff.

[The Breakdown @TheBreakdownAB]

Since this weekend is all about promiting videos it seems.

Everyone should watch this one.

Especially the current premier of Alberta.

The problem with electing MLA’s on the promise that the Leader will be gone soon, is that 4 years from now that MLA might belong to a party whose new leader and membership have gone full anti-abortion, QAnon, theocratic, separatist. And you put them in office. #abvote #ableg
