That's my riding, and she barely won it too.

Budget survey. Have your say about wasting money on Turkish Tylenol, wasting money fighting the feds and of course, paying Preston Manning with our money.

Ah, of course. The only way you can select the cost of housing as a priority is to also select the price of fuel

Guilbeault is an idiot, but somehow Smith managed to stoop to his level, then limbo in for the win.

The Breakdown

From the DM’s…

Allegedly the Alberta delegation to COP 28 will consist of over 100 of Smith’s besties…

This is sounding more and more like it’s a vacation on the taxpayers dime more than anything else!

Hotel rooms have been booked at $2,500 per room, per night, for some of the best besties. Government officials must feel really appalled and helpless with this, if they are quietly reporting it to me.

I doubt this is a paid board position. I work at a charter school and our board members are all volunteers.

The whole point is it has to be forever

OK I'll be the first to jump on the UCP. And that was a pretty rambly statement from Jean...

But I'm not sure attacking them for pitching carbon sequestration projects is really fair. Sure it evokes images of China taking on plastic waste, or other jurisdictions taking on toxic/radioactive waste. But storing carbon is a good thing, no? These are the kinds of complex engineering projects and investment that we should want.

Hhow many public dollars should go to it, and whether CCUS is capable of solving global warming are fair questions, but saying "we're open to CCUS" kind of seems like a good thing to me.

It's just a weird thing to be up at a podium announcing to an international audience. We aren't going to import their CO2. Basically this is good for domestic industry only. Sell Alberta as a place to process goods that produce a lot of CO2, sure, but they way he did it is just kinda goofy.


That, and I'm not really sure we have this proven success story to tell yet.
