@dyckron Hopefully he dines exclusively on UCP cabinet ministers. #abpoli
I hope the #UCP is employing someone to read the responses to their push poll. I also hope they'll take me off their mailing list before I get grumpy. #ABPoli
Cenovus pulled the plug on its much-ballyhooed ‘multi-year’ study of ‘small modular reactors’ in 2024 after a year - Alberta Politics

Despite getting a much-ballyhooed $7-million in start-up costs from the Alberta Government in 2023, a year later Cenovus Energy Inc. pulled the plug on its study of the potential for so-called small modular reactors to generate power to wring oil from Alberta’s oilsands. To the company’s credit, it only spent $555,000 of the public’s money […]

More good journalism to kick off your weekend: Emphasis added:

Yager is the architect of Alberta’s strategy for dealing with the province’s growing oil and gas liabilities, including pipelines and orphaned wells, a problem that he once called a “giant stinking pile of sh*t.” The Alberta government paid Yager more than C$250,000 for the strategy, while he simultaneously served as AER director, a special advisor to Premier Danielle Smith, and ran an oil and gas consulting company.

and

Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) board chair Duncan Au wrote that he and his fellow board directors were satisfied that no “conflict or apparent conflict” exists.

Alberta Landowner Alleges ‘Mafia-Style’ Meeting Demands as Energy Regulator’s Ethics Investigation Stalls

Dwight Popowich and legal group Ecojustice are seeking an ethics investigation into AER director David Yager over alleged conflicts of interest. They say the regulator’s demand for an unrecorded meeting has stalled the process, a claim the AER denies.

As Australia faces significant rise in gas costs, it puts in place a gas export tax to tame speculative inflation

“ Gas companies like to avoid tax, and a gas export tax is easy to avoid by not exporting so much gas and diverting a small percentage of current exports to Australian gas customers.”

Canada?

Gas export tax won’t harm trade or diplomacy despite industry scare campaign claims

Will a gas export tax harm our diplomatic relationships? No. Foreign companies being sad about having to pay some tax in Australia is quite different to foreign countries losing trust in Australia as a reliable trade partner.

@dyckron Everyone participating in this "debate" is an AtlasNetwork stooge.

Looks like nothing more than a well staged exercise in misinformation than a debate.

What Canadian media will cover this as real debate, and who as a contrived piece of manipulation.

BUT the rule is for these players, never mention AtlasNetwork, otherwise it gives away the manipulation and coercion.
