1/12 Frame by frame breakdown of this MURDER shows ICE is lying! -ICE had ALREADY disarmed the man before shooting. -The man NEVER drew his gun. At the 0:06 second mark we see the manโs hands on the ground covered in large gloves. His hands are empty.



Just some clarification on this for folks: 1. There is no increase in the carbon price on April 1 under the MOU. 2. Alberta and the Feds will negotiate a new carbon pricing agreement to replace the existing one by April 1, but the price will not be going up on April 1 3. The old/current agreement had the carbon price going to $170 by 2030 which everyone agrees is impossible and would greatly harm industry 4. The new to be negotiated carbon price agreement will scale up to eventually reach $130 however, we are negotiating the timeline for that increase and stringency with the Feds with industry at the table 5. Alberta heavy industry is almost unanimous in supporting this approach - and are very happy about it In the meantime - there is no more emissions cap or net zero power regs - so letโs get investing and building Alberta !

New: Secretary Bessent told Fox News this morning that the administration will move in coming days to cut the cost of coffee, bananas and other fruits. (He didn't specify by cutting tariffs but that's the clear implication.)

@KenBoessenkool Itโs also not true. At the margin, AB emitters buy offsets or emissions credits for their compliance needs. Those trade bilaterally and significantly under the $95 policy price. Last trade: $28.55. cc: @trevortombe
