Danielle Smith tried to sell her federal-Alberta energy deal to the UCP convention crowd: tepid applause.
She told them that this proved Canada can work well for Alberta’s interests: loud boos.
This ain’t a base that wants Smith to work with a Liberal PM on a better industrial carbon tax.

This would be very unsurprising but a good turn if it's the case. A bad piece of legislation gets canned and the UCP wears the hypocrisy.

Sixty children have died in the care of this government over the last year.
We cannot ignore the needs of some of the most vulnerable people in our community, and the UCP must do everything in their power to ensure these kids have the support they need.

60 children died in the care of the UCP government last year. This is unacceptable.

This is the correct take I think. AB is a perpetual grievance machine on the right and in the oil patch. TMX didn’t satisfy them. The 4D-Chess of impossible-to-build pipeline won’t satisfy them.
8/8 If Maher is right, the pipeline either dies—giving Danielle Smith a new grievance—or is pushed through in a way that is toxic to Carney's coalition.
Either way, the formidable Indigenous people of northern BC cannot be ignored.

All forms? Unless it’s driving some sort of change to Alberta’s renewables chokehold, that’s just not true.
Today’s MOU is a win for Calgary, Alberta, and Canada. It supports investment and new export routes while recognizing energy in all its forms — oil and gas, renewables, hydrogen, and more. Grateful for the PM and Premier’s cooperation. Full statement: #yyccc

Unless this coming with changes to the renewable industry in Alberta, count me unenthused.
In the face of global trade shifts and uncertainty, we’re working to build a stronger, more sustainable, more competitive, and more independent economy.
Canada’s MOU with Alberta will ensure we can advance that mission together.

You might remember the B.C. white nationalist conference I covered a few months back, Exiles of the Golden Age.
Well, @antihate.ca just identified 18 attendees -- and CBC got two more.
Naturally, these dudes have been crashing out.

Mark Carney has announced the Crawford Nickel mine near Timmins will be one of his significant projects.
I pushed the previous government to take this project up.
The mine has access to infrastructure, roads, workforce, hydro.
This will be way less problematic than Ring of Fire.

Problem is nat gas turbines don’t deploy as fast as solar and batteries, and neither solve the regulatory bottlenecks at the AESO and the AUC.
8/13 But the "bring your own power" model has a critical flaw.
"Behind-the-fence generation sounds independent, but every one of those facilities still depends on the grid," Bayley said, noting the need for backup power and stability.
Most of the extra power would have to come from #NaturalGas.

Connection of near-ubiquitous EBV to autoimmune disease affecting about 1 in 1,000 people may spur hunt for vaccine
A common childhood virus appears to be the trigger for the autoimmune disease lupus, according to groundbreaking research.
The study suggests that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which for most people is harmless, can cause immune cells to “go rogue” and mistakenly attack the body’s own tissues. The team behind the work said that uncovering the cause of lupus could revolutionise treatments. Continue reading...

Huge scoop from Ed, who had several years of financial reports leaked to him. OpenAI has been over-reporting their revenue. The company is even less profitable than we knew.
Exclusive: Based on documents viewed by this newsletter, OpenAI spent over $12.4 billion on inference from 2024 to September 2025. As part of its Microsoft revenue share, it sent $493.8m in 2024/$865.8m Jan-Sep 2025, implying lower revenues than previously reported.

It's impressive how contemporary projects' budgeting practices in Canada are made of very thin actual analytical estimates based on quantities and unit prices on top of which there is an entire enormous castle of random percentages of percentages of percentages which are suspiciously multiples of 5.
