Today I watched my niece play & brother coach the Tumbler Ridge Raptors in the #wickfest hockey tourney. Maya Gebala was there with her u13 team from Tumbler after recently getting out of the hospital after 9 months of recovery. They tied but won their first 2 games so have a good chance to win the Tourney.
They play tomorrow at 11:30am at Seven Chief's Sportsplex Big Four Arena if people would like to show their support for the team. I know they would appreciate it!
I think it's such an amazing achievement for all the players, parents & everyone else from Tumbler just to make it here. So proud of them all! #yyc @ABDanielleSmith @JeromyYYC @NHLFlames

If the media won’t hold the Liberals to account for breaking Canada’s immigration system, I will.
oilsandsmagazine.com/market-… Industry production is likely growing faster than this assumes so the sooner these pipeline projects are in operation the better...

Wind West has been advanced with almost no public discussion on the costs and benefits. Economist @E_R_Sepulveda lays out the facts, costs and regulatory pitfalls that await this ill-conceived project: “Wind West power at more than $200/MWh could only be resold at a loss.”

The realities of renewables in cold, dark locations.
“Yukon Energy planned to connect a $35-million Whitehorse battery-storage system to the grid this year, describing it as “crucial” for improving grid stability. But the batteries froze during last December’s cold snap after generators that had been keeping them warm failed…
Energy think tanks, such as the Pembina Institute, promote adoption of renewable generation throughout the North to replace diesel generators. But the Yukon government says it has already reached the limits of its ability to incorporate renewables.
Mr. Laking said the territory’s solar facilities actually drew more power than they generated during the cold snap, owing to the energy used to heat them.”

Yeah, well it got us 5 surpluses in a row, compared to 4 NDP deficits in a row.
It has us on track for a sixth surplus this FY.
It ensured that the Heritage Fund now sits at $32 billon up from $18.2 billion when Notley left office.
It ensured we were the only gov (federal, provincial or territorial) in Canada to reduce their debt by a net total of $747 million.
It ensured that we lead the country in net job growth while the rest of the country combined lost 41,200 net jobs!
It ensured we have more Doctors working in Alberta than ever before.
It ensured that hundreds of schools are being built or renovated to alleviate classroom overcrowding. It ensured that thousands of additional teachers & teachers aids are being hired.
It ensured that our healthcare system is undergoing a transformation of epic proportions designed to eliminate the insane wait times to see specialists, get imaging & surgeries is as short as possible.
There are many other reasons to keep voting UCP, but these are some really important ones.

Science reporters at CBC be like:
Land under Lethbridge leaks 23 atom bombs worth of heat energy from the earth's core every year.
Earth hit by 23 atom bombs worth of lightning strikes per hour.
Water evaporating from the ocean consumes 23 atom bombs worth of energy a second.

Trans Mountain expects to start moving another 90,000 barrels per day through its pipeline from the Alberta oilsands to Burnaby, B.C., by the end of this year, CEO Mark Maki said Monday—as soon as the federal regulator approves its plan to use chemical additives to speed up the flow.

My latest for @TheHubCanada: Canada needs to start embracing AI data centres
AI will exist regardless of what Canada or any particular province decides to do in response. History has repeatedly demonstrated that nations are better off leading technological and military revolutions than being left behind by them. Canada will be better served by having independent capabilities than not, and we have a long way to catch up. The more AI data centres, the better.

🤦♂️From an email from canadaminute.ca:
Government House Leader Steven MacKinnon told the Commons Finance Committee that the Canadian Transportation Agency has proven incapable of running the air passenger complaints system, which has about 97,000 unresolved complaints and typical waits of three years for a decision.
Under Bill C-31, the government's second budget implementation bill, airlines would hire and pay designated adjudicators to decide passenger compensation disputes against themselves, replacing the current taxpayer-funded process. MacKinnon said the government believes it can eliminate the backlog in a reasonable period, though he gave no timeline, and that taxpayers should no longer bear the cost of the adjudications.
Conservative MP Dan Albas noted that the government gave the agency $76 million over three years to increase its processing capacity and asked who has been held accountable, warning that airlines will pass the new costs on to passengers.
The Canadian Automobile Association, Air Passenger Rights, Option Consommateurs, and Flight Claim have all opposed letting airlines choose who rules on complaints against them. Flight Claim CEO Jacob Charbonneau told a Senate committee in September that the agency rules for passengers in 57% of cases, but carriers pay years later with no interest or penalty.
Accounting tricks. Always meant to deceive.

In 1942, America was at war. Alaska needed fuel. Japanese subs could sink transports.
There was oil at Norman Wells in Canada’s Northwest Territories.
The problem?
It was on the other side of one of the most remote mountain ranges on earth.
So they decided to build a pipeline across it. 1/5
westernstandard.news/opinion… There is more than enough gas resource to supply datacenters, (even IF all proposals went ahead and they won't), AB industrial, commercial, & residential supply, and LNG exports. The Duvernay & Montney are just that prolific & massive. Nevermind the Notikewin, Viking, Cardium, associated gas from other formations & the ultimate back up cbm if prices got that high, (spoiler: they won't). If high electricity prices arrive some day it won't be due to a lack of supply of gas. It will be due to generating capacity expansion delays: equipment & Regulator delays & government taxes/fees/levies. And thus, only for a few months. If at all.
