My parents hiked Berg Lake in the 1970s (which is why they named me Robson) and I don’t think they even booked anything at that time. Just went.

At the lake they met a documentary film crew who had helicoptered in and the producers were shocked that a couple from Winnipeg had made it up there. 😅

One of the reasons I love live call-in radio shows is for moments like this.

Poor Richard thought he was talking to a call screener.

He was actually talking live on air to Alberta At Noon host @kathleenpetty.bsky.social, who gently and professionally nudged him toward that realization.

In 2001, Alberta got 80% of its electricity from coal.

In 2015, the province announced coal power would be phased out by 2030.

In 2024, the last coal plant shut down, six years ahead of schedule.

In 2025, Alberta's premier is musing about bringing coal power back.
