What do you imagine a barrel of dilbit would fetch in Shanghai? Maybe $50 US per barrel? After shipping costs. And the shipper wants to pay to build a pipeline to Prince Rupert, and then pay to send it by tanker to China? The market (quite reasonably) is not interested.

I walk regularly in downtown Edmonton. People tell me I should be concerned about the "street people" I tell them the only threatening behaviour I see is from half-tons running yellow lights.

Thank you for the useful "everybody take a valium" moment. One question, though: If Carney is going to sign an MOU with Smith, can't he at least get her to commit to normalizing the Alberta government's approach to renewables?

Legislation denying trans children medical support and requiring girls to prove that they’re female to participate in sport apparently needs to apply notwithstanding the Charter, Bill of Rights and Human Rights Act.

Somebody in the UCP believes that the province must be free to impose warrantless searches (section 8) arbitrary detention and imprisonment (section 9), and suspension of the presumption of innocence and the right to a fair trial (section 11). Looks like dictatorship to me.

Keeping more accused persons on remand will result in soaring costs for the provinces. My ball-park number for Alberta to jail an additional 1000 inmates would be capital cost of about $1.5 billion over 10 years (to build new jails) plus annual staffing and maintenance costs of around $200 million.

Each day that passes I am more thankful that I didn’t vote for Carney.

Good. Airport pre-clearance has always been an affront to Canadian sovereignty. Keep the "Homeland Security" peeps on your side of the border.

Gold dinner service? I hope you counted the spoons!
