Look...

We used to do a lot more satire, but now that we have a Smith who legitimately says these things, satire is a LOT more difficult.

But we have it on good authority Smiths tour wasn’t of the AESO…

Montreal's pedestrian streets - in just three years, there are now 11 of them! - are coveted by the Buisness community and touted by the Tourism Board. No one wants to live in or visit a city that is choked with traffic, causing annoyance, air and noise pollution.

But a city…

This is a really important read by my pal Drew Anderson. Made all the more 🔥 when you re-watch the video from the press conference in which Smith doubles down on the AESO asking for the renewables pause. Here, I’ve clipped it for you 😊 #ableg #cdnpoli

Premier Smith insisted Alberta Electric Systems Operator asked for a pause on renewables. In fact, internal emails show the AESO head was 'not comfortable' with the plan but was told to 'support the minister without reservation'. Via Drew Anderson thenarwhal.ca/alberta-renewa… #ableg

Power giant scraps wind project due to Alberta's no-go zones for renewable power.
Add to Capital Power scrapping carbon capture on their Genessee natgas plant, and this is a grim week for a low-carbon electricity future in Alberta. calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…

Hundreds of innocent Albertans, unaware of the fact that their identity was stolen, signed up in UCP, and later used to vote.

Think about that. Somehow this is now acceptable.

The wrongdoers are now your government in charge of amending municipal elections.

SCOOP: The Alberta gov said its renewables pause came after a request from the Alberta Electric System Operator, but emails show the operator’s top official found the plan ‘very troubling’ and was ‘not comfortable’ supporting it. @drewpanderson reports

Great news! Very exciting for Calgary.

Danielle Smith and the UCP want control of everything, everywhere, all at once.

Albertans don’t think that’s right.

A firm statement from University of Alberta on Bill 18.

No city in North America is doing street transformations into people-places as well as Montreal.

None.

It’s not even close.

Every city can learn from this.

Every. Single. One.

The key lesson is that it ISN’T JUST ABOUT WHAT YOU TAKE AWAY (cars). It’s also about WHAT YOU ADD!

Horrific heat wave all across Asia. Lethal conditions caused by oil, gas and coal. We have to choose: we can continue building new fossil fuel projects and watch as millions suffer and die. Or we can stop, actually begin a just transition, and build a safer world.

Super unpopular take after 10 days of listening to rezoning public hearing. Jyoti Gondek is a deeply graceful person and Calgary does not deserve her.

There has been a lot of commentary during this Public Hearing that this has nothing to do with affordability. It is data like this that require this proposal to be taken seriously despite the many issues that are being raised around the process and politics of the moment.
