Cowering Before 'Carbon'

"The next "green" horror: exploding carbon-capture pipelines.Right now South Dakota is under attack by a freshly born green corporation, Summit Carbon Solutions, funded by China’s Belt and Road initiative, and you, through the Green New Deal provisions buried in the last debt ceiling deal, to pipe “carbon,” from the oil fields to some obscure part of the Dakotas and bury it.
"There can be no more stupid waste of money than this. But even some of our bravest politicians, including Kristi Noem, Pierre Poilivere and Danielle Smith in Canada cower before the almighty (anti-)carbon lobby and rabbit on about sequestering it. It is an industry into which thieves flood because it means you loot the public purse at the beginning through Green New Deal giveaways, and then for all perpetuity because of the tax advantage. People have been so scarified by the word, they do not know what it means anymore, they nod enthusiastically.

I remember Poland under communism. I had lived through this. 1970's we had Edward Gierek, figure that reminds me Carney's views and actions. Gierek's famous words that many Poles can remember were "will you help me"? Our response was "yes, we will". We had great hopes. But Gierek and his political colleagues were living high life like kings. For us we had food stamps, sugar stamps cigarette, alcohol, gas stamps. Stamps were for pretty much everything but the store shelves were empty anyways. As l remember there was like 4 kg of meat per family per month. I may be wrong but l am positive it was not much. People didn't have cars, only some. Anyways, what l wanted to say, l run away from it and ligally entered Canada all these years ago....
I think you need to live through comunism to see the pattern of where we are heading with our current liberal government.
I am not a politician, just expressing my observations.

Berta Dad nailed it. Copied from FB.
Jeff Rath’s behaviour toward Danielle Smith is not a good look for this movement, and he does not speak for me.
When this started, I had respect for him. But as this has played out, it has become harder to ignore what appears to be a push for power inside the movement, not a sincere focus on Alberta independence.
Danielle Smith is a major reason Albertans were even able to collect signatures in the first place. Compared to any other premier in this country, I believe she has been the strongest one standing up for her province.
I will not forget her accomplishments.
She stood up for parental rights when others wanted schools keeping parents in the dark.
She took action against political ideology being pushed in classrooms.
She made sure kids got back to school when the system tried to hold families hostage.
She has strengthened Alberta Sheriffs and continued exploring ways to free Alberta from relying on the RCMP.
And that is only part of it.

Alberta premier to address province amid referendum turmoil, cabinet resignations

Alberta's path toward a possible October referendum on the province's place in Canada hit a dramatic snag this week when a legislative committee tasked with reviewing a pro-Canada petition descended into procedural disarray — only to reconvene Thursday for a second attempt at a vote that could reshape the fall ballot.
