Why Hasn’t Alberta Been Calculating the Cost of Separation?
Six months before a referendum, the UCP still hasn’t provided an analysis.

Gas spent 20 years owning the evening peak. Batteries took a year to crash the party.

That's disruption. Not gradual, but a rapid shift in who supplies grid's most valuable hours.

The battle was never about total generation. It was about the peak & batteries are winning it.

Applebaum: Trump is using a specific language from the 1930s: “enemies within,” “enemies of the people,” migrants and political opponents as “vermin,” migrants “poisoning the blood” of Americans.

That language comes from Hitler, Stalin and the Stasi. 1/

Community consultations are absolutely critical, but the choice facing the Prime Minister is clear. Premier Ford is in the middle of a land grab, and the federal government has both the power and the responsibility to stop this irresponsible and anti-democratic move.

The fact that Doug Ford seized the land from the City of Toronto in order to ram through a project owned and operated by American banking giant JP Morgan tells you all you need to know about who will benefit from his plan.

Prime Minister Carney ran on a promise to protect Canadians from Donald Trump and stand up for Canadian sovereignty. He cannot sit on the fence while Doug Ford hands more power to Wall Street.

Like Ontario Place, the Science Centre, and so much more, Doug Ford is acting as though Toronto is a playground for him and his CEO friends. It isn't. Toronto belongs to the people, and the people don't need or want the jets, noise, traffic, and pollution that this massive expansion would bring.

First-past-the-post killed BC United (BC Liberals) last time, as our single-winner system incentivized folding to avoid vote splitting with the Conservatives.

Any new BC Liberal party must make proportional representation a priority to compete openly and secure representation.

I'm afraid that this is why the US administration wants to shut down ocean observations: they don't want the people to know what is happening in our oceans, as it does not fit their ideology and the interests of their fossil fuel industry funders.

39 percent of Albertans say they would leave the province if it became an independent country. Another 19 percent say they would think seriously about it. The recklessness of our Premier for facilitating this referendum is truly breathtaking. #FightBackNow https://t.co/wkXPbLnlDN

Alberta’s crown jewel of carbon capture quietly reduces its targets — by 77%
The Oilsands Alliance originally promised to capture 68 megatonnes of emissions each year — the largest #CCS project in the world. Now that number has dropped to 16

Palantir is deeply embedded in the scariest activities of the Trump regime – enabling everything from mass deportations and lawless assassinations in international waters to ethnic cleansing, genocide, and war crimes.

CEO Alex Karp’s recent online manifesto is a truly disturbing, supremacist screed. One UK MP said it “sounds like the ramblings of a supervillain.”

The city of London, England recently canceled a contract with Palantir.

Why is Canada handing nearly $50 million in public money to this creepy company?

Doing business through a secretive contract with this MAGA-aligned tech giant is totally incompatible with the Prime Minister’s promise to defend Canadian sovereignty.

For a while "only gas and nuclear can provide needed firm power" was the "serious" position in the US.

It's why people like @mzjacobson were attacked as if they were "heretics". Turns out the heretics were right.
