I just watched Danielle Smith's press conference on the October referendum today.
It's the usual topics: The pandemic, Trudeau, Ottawa, immigrants.
Wha-wha-wha 😭
It's the same tired grievances that keep this province going around in cirlces.
The discourse in this province isn’t driven by principle or a desire for its citizens to succeed, but by entitlement, simmering resentment, and a distorted attachment to a romanticized past.
Right-wing populism is a real dumpster fire
Canadians should demand CBC send a reporter, because so far CBC doesnt even know its happening. So should Carney.

Kevin O’Leary’s massive data centre and gas plant planned in northwestern Alberta is expanding its footprint and leverage, securing a meeting with a federal cabinet minister while regulators dismiss a First Nation’s challenge to its water licence.
Rachel Gilmore of the YouTube BubblePop show is cancelling that show to refocus on more investigative journalism. However, her last BubblePop featured an interview with Avi Lewis.
While #canada is fortunate that some provinces have abundant #renewable energy others do not. Perhaps #nuclear energy should be part of #carney 's list of major projects?
The 1986 Chernobyl disaster fueled global fears about nuclear power and slowed its development in Europe and elsewhere. Four decades later, however, there's a revival around the world, a trend that has been given a big boost by war in the Middle East.

Kevin O’Leary’s massive data centre and gas plant planned in northwestern Alberta is expanding its footprint and leverage, securing a meeting with a federal cabinet minister while regulators dismiss a First Nation’s challenge to its water licence.
Wonder Valley is now 65 square kilometres, and 9 GW of power is needed to run the facility using methane gas (up from 7.5GW).
And a recent water licence for 6 million cubic metres of water per year will need to be quadrupled or O’Leary will have the power to back out of the deal.
And it has been exempted from having to do an environmental impact assessment.
Technology and Innovation Minister Nate Glubish facilitated a meeting between Kevin O’Leary and federal AI Minister Evan Solomon to discuss Wonder Valley, but did not respond to my emailed questions about what was discussed.
Alberta’s AI data centre strategy in action.
