Environmental activists put a spotlight on Alberta's climate record on Wednesday at the COP28 climate summit by giving the province the so-called "Fossil of the Day" award.

The Climate Action Network hands out the award daily at UN climate summits, but it's usually given to national governments, not a province or state. At previous summits, Canada was given the award on multiple occasions under both Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and former prime minister Stephen Harper.
Definitely a fun article, haha. Congrats on Smith and her band of toxic avengers landing Alberta the energy equivalent of a Raspberry Award for their outstanding(ly poor) performance in the field of renewable projects! This award is normally reserved for national governments, but Alberta really rolled up their sleeves this year to make sure they didn't leave empty-handed.
