Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.

Does anyone think this pipeline is going to happen or did Carney just achieve good will from Alberta by signing this MOU?

My husband got a new toy so 100 pounds of tomatoes were pureed quickly and then we spent the rest of the day boiling them and canning them. And we bought 100 pounds more this evening.

Alberta First Nations issue cease and desist order against Danielle Smith's attempt to create a national unity crisis. Alberta is on treaty lands.
Those treaties were signed 30 years before Alberta became a province.

Today is election day. Exercise your right to vote. You can’t complain about the government if you don’t participate in the voting process. Don’t assume your vote isn’t needed. All votes are important.

I’m so glad for all the canning, dehydrating and freezing we did last summer. It will help us get through the first few months of these tariffs.

Greens, NDP & Liberals combined for 500k more votes than the Conservatives, yet they will combine to have around 40 less seats in Parliament.
Keep that in mind when Ford gloats about receiving a “sweeping mandate”.
Imagine we didn’t split our votes amongst 3 parties!
