“Alberta’s order is precisely about banning books, as its direct effect is to force school authorities across the province to remove from their libraries a host of books deemed inappropriate by the state.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu...

Opinion: In Alberta schools, books aren’t the threat — censorship is
The Alberta government should not be eroding the fundamental rights and freedoms of some of its most vulnerable community members.

The first energy projects confirmed/announced by PM Carney are renewable energy. "The ultimate goal is to licence five gigawatts of offshore wind by 2030, enough to power hundreds of thousands of homes." The areas have the possibility of producing up to 66GW. Now we need the Wind West grid! 📌
