Solar and wind: cheap ways to make expensive electricity.
Massive land use issues.
Glad to see Alberta government pause before proceeding with more unreliable energy, systems which have decreased reliability and increased costs of grids in Germany, California and Ontario.

Trudeau can’t leave office soon enough.
A decent man would take responsibility and resign, correct?
How does a company with less than 5 employees get a quarter of a billion of taxpayer dollars since 2015?

Many of us voted in a champagne and caviar socialist who had never accomplished anything on his own in life.
Zilch.
Little wonder he can’t figure out how to support the building of homes.
Little wonder we are on the dark & wretched road to Venezuelan-style poverty in Canada
Housing hell: How we got here and how we get out.

Justin Trudeau should commission a 100 foot statue of Stephen Harper and bow down to it.
Harper created such a healthy economy that it took eight long years for Trudeau to burn through all the cash.

Two cases of Canadians charged with wildfire arson, one in Quebec, now in Nova Scotia. Fair to ask how many other cases without charges. USA had similar weather in summer, far less wildfire.

"Ottawa has no legal right to put a chokehold on how Alberta manages its electrical grid, but that’s exactly what Guilbeault is doing ... He wants to spell out the rules, the Constitution be damned."

The last people on earth I trust are the academics and social advocates who say the government should clamp down on misinformation.
My first question: who is paying them to say that?

Folks pretending that there was not massive and enthusiastic support for the “Defund the police” movement from the political left?
Fascinating.
