A sunny windy day & 40% of Alberta’s electricity comes from renewables.

Get some batteries on the grid and add more renewables.

Use the billion for Canada instead of giving it to Stellantis.
Build Canada first.

Stop the tariffs on EVs from China 🇨🇳 and get Canola & agricultural product sales to China 🇨🇳.

Balanced Trade.

Canada gave billions to Stellantis & it left for USA 🇺🇸.

Yet we block EVs from China 🇨🇳.

Why ?

Improve our GDP by exporting farm products and allowing the import of EVs from China 🇨🇳.

The negative impact on the auto industry in Canada 🇨🇦 is negligible compared with the benefits of exporting agricultural products.

EV’s are more expensive in North American than China 🇨🇳 as auto manufacturers are protecting their profitable business of selling internal combustion engine ICE vehicles.

Priority our strengths - agricultural products. Import cheap EV as the Canadian market is too small to compete.

Proportional Representation would give all regions a voice. In Alberta & Saskatchewan nearly all seats go to conservatives. In Toronto the opposite happens, all the seats go to liberals. Proportional would give everyone a voice in all regions.

Reassess Canadian 🇨🇦trade policy.

In addition to the EU emphasis trade with China 🇨🇳 & India 🇮🇳. Import cheap EVs and export agricultural products.

Alberta needs #ProportionalRepresentation

Let everyone chose.

Maybe then we can get rid of this corrupt government in Alberta

How about a road show for abandoning old wells, rebuilding healthcare,creating clean energy jobs, and building the Heritage Fund.
That may restore public trust.
