PS: One can’t help but wonder now if the initial rumours about Jeneroux crossing the floor were actually true, and he changed his mind as a result of pressure.

The Alberta Energy Regulator touts its rules for preventing financially strained companies from acquiring new licences. So why did MAGA Energy get approval to take over hundreds of sites when it was "in survival mode"? thenarwhal.ca/maga-energy-... #ableg #cdnpoli
Alberta allowed cash-strapped MAGA Energy to acquire 170 wells | The Narwhal
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

The larger issue here is that, according to credible public health experts, the UCP govt is imposing an ideological, anti-vax agenda that will undermine public health for many years. A baby needlessly died of measles in Alberta because its mother was unvaccinated. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Not only did the AER's CEO unlawfully interfere with the hearing process for Summit's Mine 14, he called the Minister's office for "input" pretty much as soon as the application for reconsideration came in. That's a foul.
