For home heating purposes, compare the efficiency of using a 96% efficient home furmnce to an electric heat pump running on electricity generated by a natural gas power generating plant, considering power plant energy conversion efficiency and transmission losses over ambient temperatures ranging from 20 degrees Celsius to minus thirty Celcius

Be sure to read the very end. I had to drag it out of the 'bot, but the conclusion is:

Most Efficient Use of Natural Gas in Central Alberta
Considering the average winter temperatures in Central Alberta, which range from around -10°C to -20°C during the coldest months, the natural gas furnace is likely to deliver more actual heating BTUs to the home per MCF of natural gas combusted. The heat pump's efficiency drops significantly in these lower temperatures, making the natural gas furnace the more efficient option for the majority of the heating season in Central Alberta.
Therefore, for the most efficient use of natural gas in Central Alberta, a high-efficiency natural gas furnace is the clear winner, especially during the coldest months when heating demand is highest.

Alberta’s future belongs to Albertans—not Ottawa.

That’s Maxime Bernier’s message on his Alberta tour. He’s calling for radical decentralization: getting Ottawa out of provincial affairs and putting decisions back in the hands of the provinces — and closer to the people who live with the consequences.

MAX’S MESSAGE: OTTAWA, GET OUT OF PROVINCIAL AFFAIRS.

Tonight, Max makes his case live from Calgary, joined by Isaias Nolasco of New Generation PPC, Nadine Wellwood Autor of Alberta Rising, and Madison and MayCee Holmes, co-hosts of At Home with Holmes.

Feminism is in an unending war against men, families and civilisation. It is undermining our society, destroying relationships between men and women, making both males and females unhappy - and it is destroying our institutions.

So says Prof. Janice Fiamengo, a retired professor from the University of Ottawa, a former feminist and the author of the new book "The Goddess That Failed: Feminism's Unending War Against Men, Families and Civilization Itself"
