"Additionally, according to the Alberta Major Projects portal, the proposed Pathways Phase 1 CCUS project carries a price tag of $16.5 billion. This raises an important question: how much greater value —in terms of emission reductions, economic growth, job creation, and technological leadership — could be created by deploying this capital into proven, scalable technologies such as NCG co-injection, solvent-assisted recovery, and other operational optimizations that are already delivering strong results today?"

You can now listen here to my open letter to Pathways CEOs to reconsider the BS carbon capture project. As a shareholder I am NOT paying for it, as a taxpayer I am also NOT paying for it.🫡🪒

The 'remain' side needs to come up with evidence that Canada can change course, evidence that Ottawa and other provinces will adjust their behaviour in their relationship with Alberta.
So far, the 'remain' side has arguments based on nostalgia ("but Canada is a great country") or resentment ("how dare you want to leave this abusive relationship")
English
IMO, there 's no point in arguing with hard-core separatists in Alberta and counter-productive to inflate their views as those of most Albertans. The 'remain' side needs to appeal to those inclined to stay in Canada but frustrated by their historical relationship with the feds.

@ian_uuu @kevin_inalberta There is effort, but it is difficult. My hope is there are independence-minded advocates within those groups who will organize and inform others.
English
@kevin_inalberta Why is there no effort to reach out to any of our newer immigrant groups ( People with South Asian, South East Asian, African and many other ancestries?
There can be a majority without this.
English
Keep following this path if you want the independence movement to remain a highly motivated and angry minority.
You need the majority of Albertans' support or independence is going nowhere. This isn't the way.
Die-hards for independence seem to lack a theory of mind for the fence-sitters and maybes that they need to convince to vote for independence.

MY RESPONSE TO A WONDERFUL ALBERTA PATRIOT ON THE SUBJECT IF THE DANIELLE SMITH BETRAYAL OF ALBERTA
English
@LeclairLar @kinsellawarren @ABDanielleSmith An extremely small number of people in Alberta's independence movement want to be governed by Washington DC.
The number is so insignificant that I am left to wonder how the idea was so easily lodged into your brain. Clearly, Ottawa's propaganda works well on you.
English
English
You've legitimized separatism and rendered it permanent in Alberta for generations to come. History will remember you as unfit to run a two-house paper route.
Danielle Smith@ABDanielleSmith
I am fiercely loyal to Alberta and Canada and will be voting for our province to remain in confederation Kicking the can down the road only prolongs an emotional and important debate, and muzzling the voices of hundreds of thousands of Albertans who want to be heard is unjustifiable in a free and democratic society. It’s time to have a vote, understand the will of Albertans, and move on. Read my full op-ed here: calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…

As some followers know, I’ve spent the last year liquidating my business and selling assets to move everything west.
Tomorrow, I land in Alberta. Not for a visit. For good.
I wasn’t born there, but that’s where I’ll make my last stand. I’ve burned my ships. I’m all in. Amen.

It's amazing to watch over the past month, in particular, how much time and resources MSM poured into bashing Albertans and Alberta because of the independence movement.
Platforming every irrelevant mouthpiece to tell everyone how bad a democratic process is and insult everyone, including Premier Danielle Smith and call her a separatist without anyone fact checking it once that she is not.
I've never seen MSM put even 10% of the effort to hold the Liberal government accountable to why we have record homeless, why we have double digit youth unemployment, why 1/3 of Canadians need help affording food, why we have a lost decade, why our government are putting us in record debt with no way to pay for it.
It's just solidifies the problem with Canada's culture; most Canadians will spend more effort attacking these who want to better themselves and their situation rather than actually face the truth and address what is actually happening in their country to fix it and build a better life and society for themselves.
English
There can be no reconciliation without truth.
Using taxpayers' money to demonize and ridicule Canadians is intolerable.
The Kamloops mass grave story lacks evidence. Until evidence is unearthed, it is a heinous lie meant to demonize Canadians as perpetrators of "genocide"
APTN should advocate for truth rather than racist revionist history.

@APTNNews Name one of the “shock-like statements that aren’t based on facts” the individuals APTN & CBC targeted have said please.
Just one.

The CRTC has no business forcing streamers to fund government-approved content. Tripling this tax from 5% to 15% is just a cash grab that will drive up your monthly bills.
Let the market decide what people watch, not unelected bureaucrats.
Cancel the CRTC.

If Alberta becomes independent but retains a weak constitution and a broken Parliamentary system, then it will all have been in vain.
The most likely form will be a constitution that limits the power of government, protects inalienable rights, and upheld by a President as head of state, balanced by a house of representatives, and an independent judiciary. If a Senate at all, then an elected Senate.
English
@lamphieryeg @jkenney Just curious…..If Alberta became a country do you think they would have a PM or President and who do you believe voters would vote at the helm?
English
Taxpayers are forced to finance this massive wave. Newcomers to Canada place a disproportionate burden on Canada's innumerable welfare and wealth transfer programs.

@slawman75 @DarrellSto67629 @boehmerB Ottawa is responsible for most of Canada's "economic upheaval" and Alberta often takes the brunt of the shockwave when "have not" provinces run massive deficits to "weather" their storms.

@avilewis Zero sane people are "losing sleep over climate change"
English
This is laughable, coming from someone who has been winking at the MAGA-aligned separatist movement for years.
People who are losing sleep over climate change are not the ones tearing our country apart: we’re trying to save it. This summer Canada could well be burning faster than we can build it.

Danielle Smith lashes out at “the 14 cowards who signed a letter to the PM trying to derail our MOU,” along with NDP leader Avi Lewis and BC Premier David Eby, accusing them of “creating the environment we find ourselves in” when pressed if she is to blame for the state of national unity.

@cspotweet Which is it? 50 or 100?
That's quite a spread.
Is he that bad at estimating?
Does he not know the cost of previous electoral processes?
Does he just get to throw numbers around an journalists just nod and parrot?
English
"This referendum will cost Alberta taxpayers anywhere between 50 and 100 million in dollars in cash, and I'd rather have that in hospitals and schools myself."
Naheed Nenshi asked about the referendum question itself, adding he hopes for a resounding vote against separatism.

@rupasubramanya I moved my family back to Alberta after being in Ontario for 12 years. Alberta's economy versus Ontario's socialism is 100% the reason.

"Capital doesn't like uncertainty." It sure doesn't. Having said, I'd be curious to know if people have moved to Alberta recently or plan on doing so to escape Canada. DM or email me at rupa@thefp.com if you prefer. Thanks.

"Madness. Total madness." -- Bob Fife on federalist premier Danielle Smith putting a separatism question on a ballot and then campaigning against it
English
@Smileyyeg It is well understood that a lot of work and campaigning will be needed. A lot of conversation with fence-sitters. And, most importantly, a lot of work to overcome the torrent of disinformation.
English
It doesn't matter.
Do separatists honestly not understand that they are going to have to convince 50% of the population to want this? Has that somehow been lost on them?
Angela Tabak@AngetheBrave72
@PardyBruce @DenZuzana @IGBecker200 This, and the requirement to get to an actual referendum on independence just went from a petition with 179000 signatures to now 50% of the vote in a referendum on if we should have a referendum.
English
@Smileyyeg @mrsabrabbit @Troy22Troy @Kyle, if voters are given two options "YES or NO" then please explain how each of those options would be interpreted in response to the question @ABDanielleSmith announced?
Or do you have knowledge whether voters will be provided Either/Or options?
English
@mrsabrabbit @Troy22Troy I have no problem considering myself smarter than Grok.
English
Smith is being smart.
By having a referendum on whether to hold a referendum, she makes a two step process, that if it succeeds, will be undeniable.
She has also created a release valve for anger and anti-Canada sentiment in Alberta: A person can vote to field the question as a protest without pulling the trigger to separate.
The first referendum will be likely to succeed: many will want to protest by holding a referendum on separation, and many others will have a moral belief that Albertans should have a say.
The second referendum? Lot of days between here and there.

@TroyMclure22 @cspotweet Yes, grok is for you too.

@CoryBMorgan Cory, the question is purposely convoluted. Both a YES and NO response can be interpreted as synonyms.

FACT CHECK: Thomas Lukaszuk's own application consistently indicated he selected the referendum, not legislative, option — which makes his latest complaint rather awkward.
