Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.

Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

The UCP’s excuses for using the notwithstanding clause — “because we can,” “because we have to,” and “because we say so” — do not meet Lougheed's standards.

My latest.

Defying the Lougheed Doctrine
The UCP's repeated use of the notwithstanding is fundamentally unconservative (and un-Albertan).

Critics Make Poor Case for Overturning BC Coast Tanker Ban

Want to end C-48? Make a better argument than "Wah, wah, Alberta can't get what it wants!!"

Got technical studies? Interviews w/credible experts?

ANYTHING?

Pierre Poilievre’s week couldn’t get any worse, and yet it did.

It will be a miracle if he even makes it to the leadership review.

Anything on West Fraser should be of interest to us on the east side of the Rockies given the huge tracts of land West Fraser has under forest tenure from the Government of Alberta in our headwaters - including lands in the Highwood drainage.

These guys are too broke to get a new gas compressor for Armisie Field operations in urban Edmonton. They flare and vent sour gas without a permit because of it.

Alberta let an oil and gas company ‘in survival mode’ take over 170 wells. Now it’s not paying its bills: thenarwhal.ca/maga-energy-...

The Alberta Energy Regulator approved MAGA Energy, already in financial distress, to acquire 170 oil and gas wells. Unpaid bills will likely fall on taxpayers

For me, this is at the crux of the UCP's use of the notwithstanding clause.
By using the notwithstanding clause pre-emptively - which, again, they *can* but *need not* do - the UCP is not simply admitting that their laws are breaching Charter rights and bypassing the courts.

They are further admitting that their laws cannot be justified in a free and democratic society.

I used to think that a watershed was a fairly immutable physical concept but yesterday the GoA passed an order in council including the Upper Smoky basin within the South Saskatchewan Regional Plan. Bizarre.
BTW the plan will "provide continued opportunities for coal development."
