  2. Anyone trying to become new leader of UCP, put this high on your agenda.

    “ Under my leadership UCP will make cheap, abundant energy for Albertans a reality. In very short order. “

  3. Any provincial party not actively pushing for Western separation from this broken country is no longer getting my vote. The only way for a sustainable and healthy Saskatchewan and Alberta is outside of the shackles of confederation.

      1. Yes please take Manitoba with you. We indeed have lots of hydroelectricity. You will also need an ocean port and we have Churchill.

        1. Churchill is only open about five months a year. Here in B.C. we have several beautiful seaports on the Pacific on route to where the real trade is and open all year around..
          Most of us in the Interior are conservative,unfortunately the Coast is mostly Dippers,Greens and Liberals.
          If you can get rid of those,maybe offer free plane tickets to Oregon, we’d have one of the richest countries on the planet.

          Now who do we trust to run it for us?

    2. 100% agree. If you think Alberta can prosper to its full extent under the foot of Ottawa you’re not getting my vote or donation. Alberta and Saskatchewan (and anyone else that values responsibility and liberty) need to separate sooner than later.

    3. The only words I want to hear from Scott Moe are “Mr. Trudeau, kiss my @$$! Our coal mines ramp up starting tomorrow.”

  4. Emperor Justine The Petulant.
    Causation of The Free Western Nation.
    As Trump said to Black Democrat Voters “What have you got to lose”?
    Western Canadians have to answer the same question.

    Can Ahh Duh,proudly insists Western Citizens are Subhumans with unacceptable views,only the products of Quebec are acceptable.
    Civilization is dying.
    Canadians have a “Charter of Rights and Freedoms” superimposed over our inherited Magna Carta Rights,the freedoms savagely fought for as British Freemen and the God Given Rights of each individual upon which this luxurious civilization was built.

    Under the imposed Charter,your rights and freedoms are conditional.

    If your government is in a panic,which they call a “State of Emergency” then legally you have no protection from abuse by this same government.
    And our Eastern Comrades seem just fine with this State of Thuggery.

    If you wish to live in the manner to which we have been accustomed,the control exerted from the Fools and Bandits must be curtailed.

    Having a Command Economy administered from afar ,by minions of no ability,has never worked.
    Always produced disaster and famine..
    And seems to be intentional.

    The Blind Worms gnawing away at the foundations of our civilization have had a population explosion.
    An “Antiparasitic” is required.

    History repeats.
    All hail Emperor Justine,our most Petulant Poser.

    1. Why would Justine (the retarded) have anything to do with Alberta’s oil & gas and coal industries? I can see potential problems exporting these products, but using them internally to create electricity? And then not having enough? It doesn’t add up.

      2. ‘Why would Justine (the retarded) have anything to do with Alberta’s oil & gas and coal industries?’

        Have you been sleeping for the past 5 years, Steve? Why would they? Because carbon emissions are the devil now. The cost of carbon is being ratcheted up every year by a bunch of imbeciles in Ottawa pulling numbers out of their flapping arseholes.

        100% federal regulation. Mark my words, if they have to destroy our energy industry in order to destroy the fossil fuel industry, they will do it. And they will sacrifice any number of our lives on that altar.

        1. Only partially correct Richard.

          I would add – carbon emissions can only be acceptable if they are emitted from aboriginal-owned entities.

          Pay attention to what is happening with energy and pipeline properties in BC.

          1. Oh yeah… of course of course… the Liberals call that sort of stuff, “nuance.” They have no qualms about handing out exemptions and “credits” to their buddies or their victim group de jour.

  5. Unless the people “in power” have their feet put to the fire, you’ll take it and maybe bitch a bit, just like everyone else does across Loser-land.

  6. I am confused. Electricity is a provincial responsibility. Alberta electricity is produced mostly by coal and natural gas, commodities the province has in spades. Why is it facing a potential shortfall in electricity this summer? Plus it has a conservative government. It should be killing it in electricity.

    1. Steve, unfortunately Alberta only generates about 7% of our electricity with coal ( see AESO )
      We are committing energy suicide, and we are supposed Conservatives, here.

      1. Are you sure Tom? From the Canada Energy Regulator (CER) comes this…

        “About 89% of electricity in Alberta is produced from fossil fuels– approximately 36% from coal and 54% from natural gas. The remaining 10% is produced from renewables, such as wind, hydro, and biomass.”

        This makes Alberta’s energy mix 90% coal and natural gas, neither of which would be imported (am I wrong?). So what is going wrong in Alberta?

        https://www.cer-rec.gc.ca/en/data-analysis/energy-markets/provincial-territorial-energy-profiles/provincial-territorial-energy-profiles-alberta.html#:~:text=About%2091%25%20of%20electricity%20in%20Alberta%20is%20produced,wind%2C%20hydro%2C%20and%20biomass%20%28%20Figure%203%20%29.

        1. AESO’s realtime grid:

          http://ets.aeso.ca/ets_web/ip/Market/Reports/CSDReportServlet

          …capacity wise about 11000 MW available from Natgas about 1300 MW coal out of total 16600 MW available from all sources…
          look at the output of each…pretty much tells you how useful stuff is, coal has only 1266 MW available but is putting out 1258MW……Natgas has 10836 MW available and is contributing 6357 MW…oh and why don’t we look at some ‘green energy’ shall we??…what is wind doing for the grid as of right now 1700 MST right ??..of 2269MW available the net contribution is currently 216 MW….hahahhahahhahaha……what a fckn joke

    2. Steve is right, imo. The story they are spinning doesn’t add up. I worked in power production at saskpower’s coal generating stations. Coal and natural gas supply the bulk of provincial power generation. Next biggest is hydro in it’s northern plants in nipawin and athabasca plus a hydro plant at Diefenbaker. Co-generation with a few large industrial/mining facilities provides a bit. The rest is imports from Manitoba mainly and wind.

      Both coal and natural gas are sourced from within the province. The coal mines are right next to the coal power plants. Saskatchewan has lots of natural gas and pipelines in the province and stores natgas in old potash caverns for winter use. The northern hydro plants aren’t having any issues that I’m aware of and Lake Diefenbaker is low but it’s not affecting electricity production.

      Unless I’m missing something, this story doesn’t seem credible. Saskpower also did black start scenarios and simulations a couple years back and it went well so the fear and drama of the story seem excessive.

    3. The feds are pricing coal and natural gas out of usefulness. Power companies can’t simply “pass it on to the customer” when the cost increases are this large. Also, regulatory pressure from the cabal in Ottawa simultaneously makes it (a) impossible to turn up new generating capacity based on fossil fuels (thanks to their “gender based analysis” framework and emissions targets) and (b) forces generators to shutdown existing power generating stations. If you think this isn’t a direct result of federal regulation, you’re fooling yourself.

      1. Saskpower commissioned a 300 plus megawatt natural gas station, Chinook, a few years ago. They are currently building another 300 plus megawatt natural gas station, great plains. They have decommissioned some older coal plants built in the mid 20th century but those units were low megawatt units at the end of their lifespan. The coal fired plants will close but new natgas plants will fill the void until the planned small nuclear power plants take over baseload power. Saskatchewan also has some of the best, most abundant uranium in its northern mines.

        I agree that the federal government is awful and a threat to affordable, reliable energy but this linked story isn’t credible. I’m a western Canada separatist so my post isn’t support for Ottawa but merely providing more accurate info about the risk of blackouts this summer in Sask.

        1. Sounds like you know way more about this than I do, but if our provincial leaders don’t keep their eye on the ball here, we’re going to be just like Ontario. In Ontario the days of taking reliable power for granted are over. IF what you are saying is true, then the “facts” in the article don’t apply to us and we’ll have enough power generation.

          Moe should never have accepted the imposition of the carbon tax on this province. It’s poisoning all of our lives.

  7. The Spawn-Fuhrer wants total control over his Reich. Access to energy is the key to maintaining civilization above the level of stone age hunter gatherer. He is genetically predisposed to central planning and all inevitable failures are, to him, someone else’s fault and a justified means to an end that never arrives. People will be dying on the streets and his mindless Eloi supporters will stay loyal. By the time all these cultural and political trends play out, people will likely be desperate enough to embrace tyranny which takes no further imagination than observing the current gene pool of elected and non elected sociopaths in charge of all the institutions. End stage democracy is unfolding in front of our eyes as we rant.

    1. It’s yet another example of the left’s stupid hypocrisy: They want us to all charge our EVs off the grid, but before even a small fragment of the population adopts, the grid starts collapsing.

      1. You assume the Watermelons want you to be able to travel freely and economically. Well, their actions prove they don’t. Whoever mandates electric vehicles and then reduces the amount of electricity available are … dishonest?

  9. T’ain’t just Canada, is pretty much all of what we used to call western civilization.

    It was great while it lasted.

    Now you’ll own nothing and be happy, eating bugs in the dark.

  10. When is the next convoy?

    The only thing that made politicians afraid was convoys on a massive scale.

    Anyone relying on the government to save them is a slave.

  11. Trudope and Slo Joe are responsible for the ongoing shit show that we are being subjected to . Canadians have had 7 years to figure things out but have failed miserably . If this insane ideology continues then troubling times await .

  12. Nothing happens until the power goes out in Ottawa, particularly the six block area around Parliament Hill.
    Or when the delivery of fresh produce doesn’t materialize at the Byward Market.

    Thousands out of work in the resource sector is a big meh in Ottawa, not being able to pick up a mocochocofrappachino grande at Starbucks is akin to an existential crisis for that bunch.

  13. It’s funny how all of our problems are not problems to the cabal in Ottawa. Every single time I read a headline like this I say to myself, ‘this is what they want.’

  14. Power is out in most of Ottawa
    Residence are starting to panic.
    No fuel at most gas stations.
    20 story apartments with no elevators or water
    Now only 6 meals away from anarchy.
    Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch.

    2. Now would be the time for truckers to boycott hauling to Ottawa. No fuel, no food, no power poles, no transformers, no cable.

    4. That’s when someone tells an angry mob:

      “You do know that there is plenty of food and a supply of fresh water at Harrington Lake with about a year supply of small arms ammo”

  15. Riiight..they’re basing their ‘report’ on..”predicted above-normal temperatures”…..isn’t it always ‘above normal’ or wait for it ‘unprecedented’??
    ..more garbage fear mongering.
