One of the worst parts of COVID was watching Americans surrender their God-given freedoms to bureaucrats who were wrong about everything.
NEW: Despite weeks of bad headlines over the private jet scandal, a new Leger poll shows @fordnation's PCs leading at 39% to the Liberals' 34% and NDP's 17%, suggesting Ford would still win a majority if an election were held today, writes @brianlilley — Toronto Sun
Centurion’s WA depots (2): 30 #EV trucks, 4.4MW solar, 10.3MWh battery, 15 chargers. No grid. No diesel. No fuel risk. Freight is high mileage, fixed routes, predictable, built for EVs. Costs collapse, uptime rises. Freight is decoupled from fuel supply chains. Cost always wins.
Carney: Before negotiating with the Alberta government the industrial carbon tax was $20/tonne. Now, Carney says it will be “six and a half times that price” by 2040. Brace for big industrial carbon tax hikes.
1/ This announcement marks the Carney government’s official surrender to the oil and gas lobby. By gutting carbon pricing to the point of irrelevance, it has dismantled the last federal climate measure standing. We now have a federal government that no longer even pretends to rein in big corporate polluters. cbc.ca/news/politics/…
That project is tied to a potential new pipeline that will diversify our energy exports from the U.S. to Asian allies. Alberta will submit a proposal to the Major Projects Office by July 1, and the project could be up for approval by October 1.
At the same time, we're getting the Pathways Carbon Capture and Storage Project built, which will decarbonize the oilsands and make Canada a world leader in carbon capture technologies. We've now got a commitment that the first emissions reductions will happen by 2035.
If I may flip it, what is the cost of not developing our oil and gas? We actually have a good idea from the last decade of decline. Canadians badly want economic growth and affordability. Our youth need opportunity and hope. Canada needs to diversify trading partners. As the IEA head said last week, “the cost of Canada missing this train will be incredible”.
Great news Alberta! A critical milestone has been reached under the Canada-Alberta energy agreement (MOU) so that our province can expect approval from the Federal Major Projects Office for actual construction of the West Coast Pipeline on or before September 1, 2027. When achieved, this would be the fastest approval of a major oil pipeline from Alberta in a generation! This project will deliver 1,000,000 new barrels of Alberta oil every single day to new Asian markets, creating jobs, strengthening our economy, and generating a phenomenal amount of wealth for Albertans and Canadians for decades to come. And just as importantly, Alberta has successfully fought to permanently end Justin Trudeau’s punitive oil and gas production cap and roll back his absurdly high industrial carbon price to a much more realistic level that will save our job creators over $250 billion and protect the livelihoods of Alberta workers. This is what happens when Alberta stands strong.
A new National Observer article warns Ottawa may weaken Canada’s Clean Electricity Regulations: shorturl.at/N78St Critics say that could mean: 🔥 MORE fossil gas 💸 HIGHER long-term costs 🌎 SLOWER #climate progress #cdnpoli #ClimateNews
The Prime Mininster should have declared a new pipeline in the national interest months ago. Why the new delay?
There will be no carbon tax in an Independent Alberta. #AlbertaIndependence
