Less frustrated by the Fraser Institute doing things the Fraser Institute is paid to do (obfuscate), but more frustrated that CBC Calgary just runs it as news. I mean "Flat Earth Society study shows no curvature of the Earth" wouldn't be published.

It seems small, but so many of these "news" articles over time are the reason many in places like Alberta think renewables don't work, or lithium mining is super toxic, etc. Places like the Fraser Institute float nonsense out there and some gets ingrained into the collective electors minds. That affects voter sentiments and that really matters when public policy is needed for this transition.
