Oil man Carney? Let’s not get too captured just yet
...
But before everybody gets carried away with the dream (or nightmare for climate activists and former Carney green backers) that Canada is about to revive its fossil fuel prowess, one major cloud hangs over the prospect.
...
There will be no oilsands production boom unless the two obstacles noted by Morningstar DBRS are removed. The first — oil and gas prices — are beyond anyone’s control. The second obstacle is Ottawa’s requirement that new fossil-fuel projects must find ways to eliminate or offset their carbon emissions.Former National Energy Board member Ron Wallace, in a paper published this week in C2C journal, uses the word “boondoggle” in his review of the feasibility of the Pathways carbon capture. “Decarbonizing is neither economically viable nor just,” says Wallace. “A cynic might regard requirements for decarbonized Western Canadian-produced oil to be a mere sophistry whereby the Canadian government professes conditional support for another oil pipeline while imposing terms that are impossible to meet.”

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.

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.

Listening to Ganum today on the meeting that Premier Smith is having with Lukasek I am wondering why not just have his referendum on the vote in October? If enough say no to his question isn't it the same as a referendum that the other side wants? I for one want this to wake up the East and don't care how it happens. Another caller said she needs to call an provincial election in October and take the rest of questions off the ballot - this could be risky but I am leaning toward it as terrified that the NDP will get in again and right now Nemshi is their handicap IMHO.
