Breton is a Canadian company but their multi grain crackers were produced at their US plant for Canada. "Buy Canadian" and #ElbowsUp have an effect. These crackers are now made at their Kitchener plant, as you can see from the best before coding

Grid bottlenecks aren’t a failure of the energy transition — they’re proof it’s working.

Renewables got cheap fast, and now the grid has to catch up. Time to build the wires for the clean energy system we already have.

Ontario’s education minister is hiring two advisors at $1,500 a day to review why EQAO results aren’t improving. Critics say the answer is obvious: “we don’t need people making $1,500 a day to tell us scores are down because the government cut funding by $1,500 a student.” #cdnpoli

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?

That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

The UCP last night passed a motion to defund 3rd trimester abortions. Ones after 20 wk are cause medically necessary. So if passed into law in Alberta, if a woman’s life is endangered by a 3rd trimester pregnancy, & she can’t afford what they charge, she’d have to travel to another province or die.

Melania Trump didn't qualify for an EB-1 visa and was paid for modeling in the U.S. in 1996 while on a tourist visa, which doesn't allow employment. Working on this visa is fraud and also disqualifies her. She also lied about work history on her immigration application,which is NATURALIZATION FRAUD.
