@jordanbpeterson @DouglasKMurray @mehdirhasan Awe, you weren’t able to attend or watch the debate last night Professor?

Dave from Alberta, again our
Northern neighbours.

Before we embark on another day of fighting for the end of our Alberta Government’s black ops blackout advertising operation to ruin hockey broadcasts across the nation, a little background.

Unlike Dave from Canmore, I have done stuff. I was the Utilities Consumer Advocate for several years before the Office was neutered.

I’m an economist with 30+ years experience in electricity. I am not an engineer, but I’ve had a lot of them work for me. Some were pretty smart.

The problems we have here stem all the way back to deregulation. During the late 1990s, financial virtualization was all the rage. It led us to a bad market design.

Which was made worse by the PC Government in 2012, when they changed the rules to allow Economic Withholding.

If you understand OPEC, you understand economic withholding.

Hold back some product to drive the price WAY UP for the rest of your sales.

Our producers do this by pricing some product at the cap $1/kW.h driving up prices for the power they do sell

The NDP made an attempt to reform the market, but failed to finish. They did stop EW for a few years.

When the UCP took over, they let it right back in.

Some people think Jason Kenney is really smart.

The people like Jeff who are paying 32 cents per kW.h probably don’t think so.

Anyway, since January 1, 2021 four companies have been allowed to drive up the price FIVE TIMES HIGHER

And blackouts?

Smith was complaining that we had ten “emergencies” last year.

If you wonder how that was caused by future Federal regulations, you are not alone.

The very things that the ads warn about - blackouts and quadruple prices - have already been visited on Alberta electricity consumers.

Help us stop the psychological abuse that comes with being a sentient being in this hillbilly heaven.

Don’t believe a word Smith says on electricity.

She knows what the real problem is. She even said it - once - right after the election.

It’s economic withholding and bad market design.

It’s not Trudeau.

It’s not gas.

It’s definitely not coal.

It’s a callous and disgusting strategy to let four companies hold us all hostage.

And fuck, it makes me angry.

Time to repost something I had taken down after the election.

Thanks for helping us get the focus back on their incompetence by trashing these shitty ads, you absolute beauties.

Dave from St Albert

Appropriate (foul) language ahead.

BREAKING: Federal government to announce the forgiveness of GST on rental housing. This will do two things:

1) tip some new housing developments that have been put on ice due to high interest rates back into construction = more supply

2) incentivize some developers to build rental housing, instead of condos...in other words, homes for Canadians instead of units for investors = more homes for Canadians

I'll be on @CP24 later today explaining the tangible implications of this policy for changing housing supply in Canada. It is significant.

This is - potentially - the beginning of a sea change. It is a new approach.

@BrennanTweets Not at all, asking for payment up front from an owner is one thing, but asking for payment up front from a GC is effectively transferring your risk to them. Depending on your trade, there are probably lots of other subs just as competent as you that will keep the risk.

[Donald B @donbigioni]

@jordanbpeterson @JustinTrudeau You can only dream of being as honest as our JT

[DH @d0j0h]

I have never heard a more coherent, clear-eyed, unequivocal, honest, or compelling speech by PM Trudeau than this. This is what all of us should expect from every Canadian politician and public servant. It gets better and better the longer he speaks.

[Donald B @donbigioni]

@jordanbpeterson Prove it? What’s an asshole thing to say!

[Donald B @donbigioni]

@joerogan Hey Joe, I’m with Tom on this one. That said, I’m an idiot! I’m a construction worker with not the foggiest ideas about vaccines and a hole crap load of thoughts as to why your wrong - I’d be perfect to debate the good candidate.

[Donald B @donbigioni]

@BigioniDanny I’ll let our mother know you said that.. MOM!!! Danny’s saying bad things about you again!!!

[Dr. Brian Goldman @NightShiftMD]

The let her rip people need to read this.

[Donald B @donbigioni]

@jordanbpeterson @JustinTrudeau Didn’t you write a book about being honest or not telling lies,or something like that? Perhaps you should grab yourself a copy and have a read, I hear it’s pretty good.
