Ur "plan" spent $84BIL+ on corporate ff welfare since 2020. That could've built a national clean energy grid twice over. Instead, you're building $70BIL mega dams that take 15 years while Crown corps actively bankroll new gas plants for US tech hubs today. Voters see through the cynical math

Yes, the Associated Press has picked up Ford's opportunistic photo op. Will it get picked up in European media? Probably. This might well be the Ford story with the most legs ever. Let's see. Again, this was primarily about Ford and the PC Party's approval ratings, not geopolitics. #OnPoli

IMO, BILD decision to jump from Wynne's OLP to Ford's PC party had less to do with dissatisfaction with the OLP's greenbelt, than it did with the anticipation of having a Premier who is far more amenable to "solving" member's issues the old fashioned way. That, and box seats and strippers.

Renewables, especially solar and energy storage are cheaper, and faster to roll out. They produce 100% less GHGs than natural gas and less waste heat. They trump all other generation option on science and economic metrics. Sound civic policy with none of the corporate capture of govt influence.

RFK Jr. has claimed that the U.S. measles outbreak has nothing to do with him. But one of these countries has been running an effective public health campaign, including promoting MMR vaccination, and one has not. Behold the measles cases for 2025-2026 for the U.S. and Canada.

Screenshot from the CDC showing more than 2000 measles cases in the U.S. in all of 2025 and more than 2500 in 2026.

Screenshot from Canadian health ministry showing more than 5000 cases in 2025 and slightly more than 1000 in 2026.

You need to read the detailed analysis in the comments. The new Alberta rules require data centers to "bring their own generation" and then the rules ban the use of renewables for that purpose. Essentially, AB demand gas-fired generation only. Ensuring massive captive market for AB gas for decades

More importantly, solar doesn't spew localized heat, toxic air pollution, or deafening noise into existing residential communities the way emergency mobile gas peaker plants do. Carney’s obsession with fossil fuel baseloads isn't a sound transition. It's a product of corporate capture #cdnpoli

Let's look at the lie. Utility scale solar & storage are vastly faster to manufacture, install, and commission than building a new natural gas peaker plants. When a community needs rapid grid capacity, solar can be deployed in a fraction of the time it takes to clear gas pipe regulatory hurdles.
