China may still be expanding their coal-fired power *capacity,* but their actual *use* of coal for electricity continues to decline, as renewable power generation skyrockets.

Please kill the "BUT CHINA!!" talking point for your gullible, anti-renewable friends.

The U.S. is claiming coal power is expanding in China. Here's the chart showing its decline over the last twelve months in China & their huge energy expansion's real drivers. Sorry, not LNG either #uspoli #abpoli #cdnpoli

I am desperately sad for my province and every trans child and their families who love and support them. I am also very angry and more determined than ever to get rid of this government as soon as possible. We have fallen so far from democratic norms and even common decency.

Did you know that Elf has a lot of Canadian connections?
The Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver became the North Pole, a haunted hospital in Coquitlam was used for interior sets and even the famous Buddy burp was Canadian!

There seem to be 2 general opinions abt the MOU:

AB conservatives: The MOU gives AB everything we wanted

LPC supporters: MOU is great because Carney got pragmatic concessions from AB, but don't worry no pipeline will be built

Anyone else: The MOU gives AB conservatives everything they wanted

This is a very concerning story. Cold Lake First Nation is living in 3rd world conditions. They have been completely frozen out by Mark Carney/Danielle Smith's plan to drive a 400 km pipeline carbon capture facility on their land.
This won't end well Mark.

Carney-Smith deal will bring carbon capture to Cold Lake. They don't want it
Alberta First Nations are being shut out of a sprawling carbon capture and storage project on their traditional territories that is a key part of Thursday's Alberta-Ottawa pipeline deal, chiefs say.

BC Premier @dave_Eby, BC Energy Minister @adriandix declined invitations to be interviewed about the lack of a business case for an AB to BC pipeline.

Do you find that odd? I find that odd.

Raise your hand if you knew that MLAs had the ability to pull voter records to use to smear people like this. Even we did not know this was possible.
Dale Nally's recall petitioner says he doesn't listen to constituents and cites his concerns over the notwithstanding clause.

Nally responds by saying the petitioner doesn't vote and works as a proxy for a group weaponizing the recall act and the petition has no merit.
