DID YOU KNOW?! Rural municipalities across Alberta are currently owed $254 million dollars from delinquent oil & gas companies who failed to pay their property taxes? Learn more and fight back at CleanUpYourMess.ca #oilandgas #alberta #abpoli #alberta #albertanews #daniellesmith

right on cue "The company has partnered with Alberta-based Pembina Pipeline... The project will require approximately 150 million cubic feet per day of natural gas, according to Pembina, helping to create demand for Western Canadian natural gas producers." www.ctvnews.ca/business/art...

The wonderful things Alberta will soon enable!

The largest gas powered generating station current operating in Alberta is less than 900 MW. This is bananas.

The Conservative Party of Canada spent $100 million trying to convince Canadians to vote for Pierre Poilievre last year They lost the election and ended the year with a $14 million deficit

Data centres provide markets for gas:

1 gigawatt! For reference, 1.4 gigawatts powers the city of Edmonton. 1.21 gigawatts can fire up the flux capacitor and take us back to 1955! www.reuters.com/world/americ...

I would be less wary that projects like this will address water usage responsibly if the government wasn’t involved in a healthcare procurement controversy and hadn’t disbanded a decades old water council whose goal was to give impartial advice to them and industry. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

SF writers and readers are some of the nerdiest nerds on the planet. We love tech. We are so early-adopter that we imagined it before you built it. If you’ve lost us, you’ve lost the fight.

this is imo an example of how data center hatred isn't just reflexive nimbyism

Great article about how much e-bikes, etc., cut oil consumption: arstechnica.com/cars/2023/11... I was thinking of getting an EV last year but got an ebike instead. I love it!

The latest in my years long series of photos with Calgary minor celebrity Allen the Alpaca. He is timeless while each day I inch towards the mall Santa I seemed destined to become.

Klein started the practise of using Ottawa as a punching bag to distract voters from provincial issues. Kenney doubled down and Smith turned it into an art form. Now grievance politics is deeply embedded in the richest province.

Smith Launches GoFundMe to Pay for Her Oil & Gas Subsidies Pipelines, CCUS, oil sands production, Japanese refinery upgrades, orphan well clean up - where and when will it all end? When Alberta is bankrupt? #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli youtu.be/dXdgJjitcnM

‘Polarization’ has become the master concept for diagnosing our current democratic crisis. But this is not polarization. It is the radicalization of the political right. By misdiagnosing it, we risk becoming complicit in the crisis. 🧵 Just out in Perspectives on Politics doi.org/10.1017/S153...

So… Cheyenne, WY won't take data center wastewater anymore after Meta/FB's "Fill and Flush" process (how they test data center cooling systems) was responsible for polluting their whole community's wastewater reclamation system with Cupriavidus gilardii bacteria: cowboystatedaily.com/2026/07/02/c...

Trudeau treated Alberta like so much garbage that he bought and finished a pipeline to tidewater for them, kept approving oil sands projects (that didn't get built because the world price of oil crashed), and he said repeatedly that it didn't make sense to leave those resources in the ground.

everywhere you look, things are goin' great

My guy you are dressed like Ranch hand Liberace, that message ain’t hitting.

Canadian politics in a nutshell: imitating an unhinged American war criminal while dressed like a fancy bag of milk.

And disabled folks earn WAY less than that.

Tamara Lich wasn’t the only one at Pete Hoekstra’s Fourth of July bash I did a head count: Over a dozen Canadian far-right activists and right-wing alternative media personalities, (including from the Juno and Rebel media outlets) got invites to the US ambassador’s official residence

Bluesky is thick with schadenfreude tonight.

I'm supposed to trust Elections Alberta to count the votes in Danielle Smith's upcoming referendum on a referendum on becoming a US territory? Might've been born at night, but I wasn't born last night.🤣 #abpoli #ableg #FireTheUCP www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Switzerland bolted 5,000 solar panels onto a dam wall 8,000 feet up in the freezing Alps where everyone said solar made no sense, and the plant now makes three times more winter power than any farm down in the valleys ☀️

The science behind Europe’s extreme heat is clear. The response isn’t.

And the very next day he announced a big dumb pipeline. #cdnpoli #MarkCarney #abpoli #ClimateChange

“Why don’t we cut out the middleman and just have Canadians send their tax dollars directly to ExxonMobil?” @climatekeith.bsky.social said of the U.S. oil giant. “There is no private-sector proponent for these pipelines because there is no business case..." #CDNpoli #ONpoli #MBpoli #SKpoli #ABpoli

Nobody wants EVs” is now a decade-old genre of journalism. Over that decade, EV share of new UK car sales went from 0.3% to 25%. The genre hasn’t aged well.

seems very much the Canada/Alberta way, currently

The only way to describe Canada’s capitulation to a premier calling a referendum to break up the country…. Shakedown federalism. Sad to say, the feds have been had. And all of us are the losers. @albertaviews.bsky.social @coreyhogan.ca @mark-carney.bsky.social albertaviews.ca/shakedown-fe...

“This isn’t about 2 degrees Celsius,” said Karen McKinnon, climate scientist at UCLA. “This is about, do you get to send your kids to summer camp? Do they get to swim in the lake, or is the camp burning?” #ThisIsClimateChange. Listen to climate scientists. 🖊️ @sammyroth.bsky.social#ThisIsClimateChange👇

“Far from being self-stabilizing, the Earth’s climate system is an ornery beast which overreacts even to small nudges,” wrote the late Wallace Broecker in 1995, two decades after he coined the term “global warming.”

This alone should be a decade-defining political scandal resulting in prison sentences.

Good summary of what’s important that’s going on with climate change. My favorite graphic:

Good news: We can tell you how much the globe will warm if we continue to burn fossil fuels and emit CO₂ at an alarming rate. Bad news: We’re terrible at telling you how bad the impacts will be, and they’re consistently worse than we predicted.

Corb says it straight, just like Mayor Jeromy: Danielle Smith and the UCP are full of BS when it comes to the #ForeverCanadian petition, the #WaterNotCoal campaign or heck, the Cowboys Tent. #Canada #Alberta #cdnpoli #abpoli #ableg #yyc #yeg #Never51 forwardweekly.ca/corb-lund-re...
