Want to attract capital to AB? Make it easy to invest in the energy attracting the most capital: clean tech. Not what we're doing, chasing it away. "Global energy investment is set to increase to a record US$3.3T this year, with clean technologies attracting 2x as much capital as fossil fuels"

Chris Murphy: "The entire administration is a grift from top to bottom... it appears Musk didn't get everything that he wanted in this bill to help his companies, and so he's throwing a temper tantrum... you have to understand none of this is on the level. It's a bunch of thieves stealing from us."

Horizon removing mask mandates just as a the new Covid variant is arriving is a huge mistake @susanholtnb.bsky.social hospitals need to keep mask mandates on year round. Taking them off now is going to cause a spike in cases

“I’m just going to say it, shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus for thinking they’re going to get elected. That child deserves our support. Don’t worry about the pollsters calling it distractions, because we need to be the party of human dignity.”

Canadian Environment Week comes at a time when gov'ts across the country are working feverishly to land on the next big suite of nation-building projects. Will we “build, baby, build” responsibly? Can we create a strong and resilient economy while tackling climate change?

Oh my. Dr. Marc Garneau was so kind when I was literally star struck meeting him in Calgary, of all places, many years ago. He was on my honoured list with Dr. Sally Ride for their work in space. Eternal rest grant to him and let perpetual light shine on him. 🙏🏾 www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...

Build a new pipeline in Canada ain't going to be easy. And it is essential that the gov't doesn't just do the project. If it is such a great plan, find private money to fund it. Not taxpayers.

Abandoned oil & gas wells are a major source of methane emissions, esp. as aging infrastructure breaks down. One of the best ways to tackle these emissions is for our leaders to make polluters cleanup their mess. www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0... @senrosagalvez.bsky.social #CDNPoli #ABLeg #ABPoli

KENNEDY: If Vietnam came to you and said, 'You win. We're gonna remove all tariffs and all trade barriers. Would the US please do the same?" Would you accept that deal? LUTNICK: Absolutely not. That would be the silliest thing we could do KENNEDY: What's the purpose of reciprocity then?

Calling it red tape is polite. It was ideologic, economic sabotage of a growing, successful renewable energy industry that was seen as a threat to conventional energy investment and power generation by Premier Danielle Smith and those in her office. Their political interference knows no bounds.

If in 2025 your only #ClimatePlan is #MorePipelines & outlawing #CleanEnergy, this is your policy. The #PipelinePremiers needs to be held to account by our media & their constituents. So far they're not. At all. Expect bigger, more expensive, more deadly #Wildfires. Not refutable #abpoli #cdnpoli

I will never understand the objection to masks in healthcare. It’s where the sickest people are, and where the strongest & most treatment resistant bugs thrive. People can’t “just stay home” when they need healthcare, and no one should be forced to choose between care & covid

Thailand urging holiday travellers to wear masks in the wake of the latest Covid variant Nimbus (nicknamed razor blade throat). We’re starting to see more & more media outlets discuss masking… which is highly unusual given they’ve been driving the “it’s over” narrative for years. Respirators work!

Three issues with the term "decarbonized" oil: i) It is silly. Oil contains carbon and emits CO2 when combusted. ii) Doesn't even make sense for production emissions, because carbon capture and storage doesn't capture all emissions (can be <50%) iii) Our trading partners know (i) and (ii)

Has Trump just breached the only trade deal he struck? At the time, British PM Starmer described the deal as one that "will remove tariffs on British steel and aluminium, reducing them to zero." Yet Trump just announced that they'll get a 25% tariff. www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...
