Carney, Smith Vision of Oil's Future Deeply Flawed
@mark-carney.bsky.social, Danielle Smith think Alberta can sell its bitumen in Asia for decades.
I think they'll be lucky to sell a fraction of that oil in a rapidly electrifying Asia.

Time to remove all religion from politics. Quote scripture, get fined. I don’t want you making decisions based on what your competing imaginary friends are alleged to have said through magic tablets, burning bushes, or the voices in your head.
Secularize politics.

It’s really unfortunate there has never been a precedent for this boom and bust cycle or the UCP might have been prepared for something of this nature. 🙄

🇨🇦 BOOM TURNS TO BUST: DRILLING RIGS GO QUIET ACROSS THE WEST 🇨🇦
North American oil has slumped below $60 US a barrel. The rigs are powering down.
A new industry report confirms the slowdown is here, and it is digging in for the long haul.

Somebody really needs to tell me how a new pipeline will fix.... This.
We are setting annual records for oil extraction and exports year after year, and Alberta is still running a budget deficit.
When an addict keeps ODing, the next hit is likely to kill them. When do we learn?

There are some reporters around Alberta who may be very privately harbouring the same thoughts for the arrogant liars they have to cover.

Evangelical Christianity a Big Driver of Alberta's Authoritarian Libertarianism?
Yup, IMO.
~25% of Alberta identify as evangelical Christians.

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.
I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.
It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

The trouble with the UCP's dual practice model?
Think about a double double.
If the line at Tim’s is long because there’s only one person pouring coffee, opening an “express lane” for people who tip $20 doesn’t speed things up. It means those with more money get the coffee while others wait.

Back in school, I wrote an essay about how two-tier healthcare would improve access for everyone.
It makes intuitive sense: create a second line and the original one gets shorter, right?
A better look at the evidence and arguments like Picard's changed my mind. 🧵

Spoke to a room of lawyers and judges tonight. Told them: when many Albertans picture the UCP base, they picture you.
They were shocked — most of them oppose the democratic backsliding.
I reminded them: as long as they stay silent, that perception will stick.
All pluralists need to speak out.
