Alberta’s Electro Bullshit Before Smith became Premier, she reached out to Sheldon Fulton and I to find a solution for the RRO inflation. She knows us from way back, when she was on the UCA Advisory Council for the CFIB. The point is, she knows we know what’s going on. And she admitted as much, just after the election, acknowledging that Economic Withholding is what is driving the extraordinary rise in electricity rates. Which gets us to today, when everything is Trudeau’s fault and problems 12 years from now are all they want to talk about. That the AESO and MSA are going along with that, tells me all I need to know about those careerists. I can think of many ways of moving to a net zero grid WHILE REDUCING COSTS TO CONSUMERS AND INDUSTRY. That the people they pay 6 figure salaries cannot or will not means that fixing the industry is going to require a wholesale changeover in those offices. They have failed the basic test of providing reliable and efficient electricity. If GrandMa can’t afford electricity, you’re doing it wrong and should be replaced. I have no sympathy for the Alberta electricity industry. They have feathered their nests with our money, taking windfall profits from every family, senior, mom and pop shop, grocery, school, hospital and factory in Alberta, while leaving us at risk of blackouts. There should be firings. Instead we get a National ad campaign full of lies and political spin. Alberta would rather fight than switch. It’s not a good look.
