    I agree it will likely be all show. The UCP tried to use the Critical Infrastruce Defence Act against the nominally antivax "protestors" that attempted to blockade Coutts. They also declared hospitals to be critical infrastructure to insulate them for antivax "protestors". I don't think anyone...

    Please dispute any of my statements with facts and nowhere have I mentioned "calling in the tanks"

    Alberta Provincial Politics

    It says that the Province is basically declaring the border to be critical infrastructure and will mandate officials to intercept people within 3km of the border without needing a warrant. That alone will be a powerful deterrent. It also likely violates the Constitution, but in an era where...

    Besides Cedar LNG, no large energy projects have proceeded since the new impact assessment act came into place. I suspect the CER will be victim number 2 after CBC once deconstructing Trudeaupia is in full force A site in NW AB only makes sense for gas generation due to proximity to the...

    Very large, low cost gas reserves that can be used to generate electricity, and cold weather conducive to cooling. O'Leary teased this on Fox Business last week

    Probably accompanied by a large combined cycle gas fired generation facility. Poetic justice that climate change activism to discourage LNG facilities might result in just as much gas being consumed to support AI

    More like he can elevate horrible candidates to win, get rewarded with a government job and get rewarded again with a severance from that same government job. I would stay away from any candidate associated with him

    So that means inauthentic candidate will win due to a superior campaign and then crash and burn?

    Seems suspect as no-one else is forecasting that much of a warm up. Maybe ECC should have stayed as EC

    Alberta may be picking a champion with O&G, but who is the loser? That is the difference. The disconnected social policy activists who inhabit the current federal government pay claim ephemera like "Canada's reputation as a climate leader". Alberta is expected to take one for the team on every...

    I lived in Australia for years. It abandoned its equivalent of supply management years ago and the sky did not fall. It also allows foreign ownership of media and telecom. Since Canada is geographically adjacent to the US, the business case for existing companies to expand into Canada would be...

    Is it suprising that a federal government that so blatantly picks winners and losers and strays from operating within its jurisdiction threatens national unity? The Natural Governing Party reaps what it sows. The concessions that Canada will likely make to remain within the US tariff wall are...

    For Smith, it is a case of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". Trump going medieval on the Government of Canada can only be a positive for Alberta.
