@sumlenny @IuliiaMendel Question: how will the drones provide help vs the missiles? It just a question to understand the request,, thanks

[Sergej Sumlenny, LL.M @sumlenny]

The Russians add their New Year wishes to Ukrainian civilians: “there will be no New Year for you” and “With the most evil wishes”.
Please donate for Ukrainian drones to help Ukraine stop this madness. https://t.co/IUeSA6AftS

Since May 4, U.S. Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems have already shot down 15 Russian Kinzhal missiles in Ukraine. Imagine how many lives were saved!

Russia’s war on Ukrainian civilians goes on: Kharkiv’s main hotel just got hit by a missile. https://t.co/CjO2HrbICK

@maria_avdv Saying is one thing, delivering the items is another. Hopefully there won't be a long delay 😕

[Iuliia Mendel @IuliiaMendel]

Dear American @SenateGOP , hope you enjoy the holidays. Here is how the threat to our borders look like. The one that you compare to your border. Next year you can vote to help Ukraine save more lives (smth you didn’t do in Dec) & make the new year happy not only for yourself

Again! If Ukrainian soldiers who run out of ammunition or weapons surrender, Russians kill them. The second video proves this. How many cases stay unknown? #WarCrimes

I see plenty wrong with this.

Ukrainians are, for the first time, celebrating Christmas on December 25, instead of January 7. In an effort to distance the country from Russia and its Orthodox tradition, Ukraine passed a law earlier this year making December 25 the official Christmas holiday

[Alexander Kokcharov @alex_kokcharov]

Today is the birthday of Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych who in 1916 composed ‘Shchedryk’ or ‘Carol of the Bells’, based on a Ukrainian folk chant.

Here it is performed by Helena Androsova:

@s_guilbeault Hey ! Wake Up! If you Cut the carbon tax then Canadians WON'T need the rebate cheques!! Don't you understand basic math?! @brianlilley @acoyne @calgaryherald @elonmusk @CNN @BBCWorldBiz @WinnipegNews @CityNewsTO

I have issued the following statement with Minister of Environment and Protected Areas Rebecca Schulz on the federal government’s proposed methane emissions regulations:

The federal government has unilaterally established new methane emissions rules and targets to help win international headlines. Instead of building on Alberta’s award-winning approach, Ottawa wants to replace it with costly, dangerous and unconstitutional new federal regulations that won’t benefit anyone beyond Environment and Climate Change Minister Steven Guilbeault’s post-office career.

Managing emissions from Alberta’s oil and gas industry is our constitutional right and responsibility, not Ottawa’s, and we are getting the job done. Using a province-led approach, Alberta has already reduced methane emissions from the oil and gas sector by 45 per cent – hitting our target three years early – and we’re just getting started.

Meanwhile, not only is it illegal for Ottawa to attempt to regulate our industries in this manner, Ottawa hasn’t even hit one of its past arbitrary and unscientific emissions targets largely because it has little to no credible expertise regulating the natural resource, agricultural and other industry sectors in this space.

Ottawa could have helped us keep reducing emissions with joint incentive programs in line with Alberta’s Emissions Reduction and Energy Development Plan. It could have listened to the Supreme Court’s declaration that the Impact Assessment Act was unconstitutional and abandoned this kind of arrogant and ineffective scheme. Instead, these new regulations threaten our successful province-led approach and impede good work that’s already underway.

Once again, the federal government is setting unrealistic targets and timelines. Infrastructure can only be updated as quickly as technology allows. For example, Alberta will not accept nor impose a total ban on flaring at this time, as it is a critical health and safety practice during production. Any regulation that completely prohibits this is putting lives at risk. A total ban would also be costly, resulting in shut-ins and loss of production.

This approach will also cost tens of billions in infrastructure upgrades, yet Ottawa has provided virtually no financial support to do so. Thousands of Albertans could be put out of work in the coming years due to these costly regulations. A federal government willing to invest $37.7 billion into just three battery plants in Ontario and Quebec cannot credibly refuse to provide tax credits and financial incentives for producers in Alberta and Saskatchewan to assist with achieving a carbon-neutral economy by 2050.

For years, Alberta, not Ottawa, has done the hard work and achieved results. We strongly support reducing methane emissions and have invested tens of millions into developing these technologies. Minister Guilbeault must work with us, and not against us, to keep cutting methane emissions and charting a course for carbon neutrality by 2050.

Given the unconstitutional nature of this latest federal intrusion into our provincial jurisdiction, our government will use every tool at our disposal to ensure these absurd federal regulations are never implemented in our province.

@brianlilley Job cuts or just attrition and a hiring freeze along with attempted blackmail of the liberal govt for more money?! @acoyne @CBCPolitics @CTV_PowerPlay @EpochTimes @GlobalNational @NDP @calgaryherald
