I am not hoping it loses money … I am hoping the demand and economics means it never gets past the design stage.

Far far far from the first in time.

Meanwhile in ‘Berta loud chorus of “give me some of that”. “Anything not worth doing is worth doing really poorly.”

China is doing its best to reduce the demand!! And Trumps war with Iran is helping. I am somewhat optimistic the new west coast pipeline and associated oil sands growth will run headlong into a pattern of demand decline.

It doesn't make any sense. The man of the Art of the Deal now announces deals that are fiction.

Who is "their?" Will TransMountain now be the proponent in partnership with the Alberta government? (with small stakeholder like Pembina etc. advising) Not exactly sure who/where in AbGov the proponent is. Alberta Energy?

And Alberta separatism won’t disappear after the referendum and Canada and businesses will never look at Alberta the same. Chew the MAGA cookie and get the same indigestion!!

For example if engine noise is a big issue, maybe tankers in these waters need to be redesigned as hybrid - electric propulsion for the inshore waters. I fear we are “we tried nothing, it didn’t work, we don’t know what to do”

Stop all … the typical approach would be to understand the characteristics of ship movements that are most disruptive and to then try to mitigate those - maybe it is ship construction, maybe it is time of day, maybe it is ….

I believe genocide is a term used for humans and not for animals.

Opinion: The changes climate change is forcing on the ecosystem and impacts on the food supply is likely going to be the largest issue for these creatures. So ... the pipeline gets them 2 ways .....

Note that this population has, to our knowledge, always been small -- estimates of pre-industrial population range up to about 200. Recent maximum was about 95 in late 1990's with declines since then.

Note that there are maybe 70,000 orca globally. So this isn't 'left on the planet.'

Carney keeps extending the rope to Smith and Ford. He knows the big barriers are not permits or regulations or assessments. The big barriers are private $$ and a whole bunch of Canadian Shield.

It would be nice if we had some way to know the he said - she said story here. Was this the 'event' or was this a straw that broke the camel's back? In October 2024 he publicly asked Trudeau to step down. I think maybe there is a track record to question his support.

This, all of this. ✊🏾👏🏾💥 Why aren't senior business leaders across AB industry sectors dropping these statistics on immigration & the absolute dependency that Alberta's workforce has on immigration? Why aren't all the business & political leaders who aren't Canadian-born standing up & speaking out?

Yup. She is anticipating getting her notice of dismissal and trying somehow to avoid that. Pre-grieving for a premiership lost.

The much bigger risk ... anti-vaxxers carry enough power to deny these treatments to deserving Canadians. I imagine that would be the case in Alberta today. Health Canada could approve it but Alberta would say "not in my province."

This graf is doing some rich storytelling.

A line graph of temporary residents in Alberta since 2020 showing that, at it's peak, Premier Smith was proposing 10 million Albertans. At it's current low, she is proposing a referendum question on fewer migrants.

Excellent piece by @gkfellows.bsky.social No retaliation thinking is short-term, for 1-shot games, or conceding we have no power to alter repeated ones. Hear, hear to Kent's wise views! "We need to be strategic, we need to think long term, we need to retaliate. Adam Smith would expect no less."

It’s pretty sad to watch the decline of the American empire occur in realtime, at such breakneck speed. Perhaps even sadder to witness how easy it fell.

There seems to be a bit of misinformation circulating on social media about my latest @albertaviews.bsky.social column and what it actually says. So perhaps you’d like to read it for yourself and draw your own conclusions. (Feel free to share, it you are so moved.) #ableg #abpoli #Canada #cdnpoli

Feels to me like many mail in ballots are going to be tossed out. Maybe it is a form of voter suppression Maybe there is an assumption that pro separating voices won’t use mail in. Any evidence about that the pro side is discouraging mail in??

Not sure they recognize their incompetence. We are just a few weeks from blaming electors or the NDP or Trudeau for this.
