Only sheer and utter incompetence at the top could result in Alberta again issuing electrical grid alerts. It did so again Wednesday afternoon. In November-December, it issued five alerts in three weeks.
And Saskatchewan is continuing down this path.
Being responsible governance by our current politicians really has generated such a basket case of immoral and irresponsible policies in purchasing an infrastructure that’s impossible to generate or achieve.
Rather than reassess it’s purchases and failing investments to go about into a different direction.
So, our bought politicians fail…and still using guesstimates and decades old data to hype up their current positions on global warming and buying failed infrastructure.
We have all this magnificent technology being wasted by not using it to our advantage before the system collapses.
Helicopters and drones to generate actual mapping of the Canadian Resources and it’s many lakes full of fish and much never been explored….age old exploration was by roads, lakes and river systems which gave limited data.
Doing a proper inventory of our resources will never come from the lips of our current mainstream media and politicians as they have too much vested interest in the corruption for money, money, money…
What do you think?
Forgot to add…
That they breed, reseed and spawn…yearly.
On millions, upon millions of acres in Canada.
there might be some malice, and desire to control the unwashed masses as well….
one might even call it a “vision of the anointed”
The cynic in mean thinks that power outages will give politicians the opportunity to make smart meters mandatory. Saskpower has been trying to get people to accept them for quite awhile now. Unfortunately, Saskpower’s first big push ended in disaster because the smart meters were causing fires at customers homes. The Saskatchewan government recently accepted a pile of money from the federal government for green infrastructure. One of the items highlighted in the news reports was “encouraging” installation of smart meters.
The more we move to renewable energy, the less energy we get.
At what point does the shit hit the fan?
Perhaps when the hospital windmill stops working in the middle of some serious surgeries?
Nah … they will blame it on climate change and Donald Trump. And the sheep will say Bahhh ..
Alberta, as witnessed in the recent election is, despite its oil patch and agricultural legacy , infested with the same culturally corrosive and suicidal urban-centric progressive politics and institutional capture as the rest of the deranged dominion. That’s why, like Texas, it’s headed for energy poverty and a messed up grid. Two words from either set: energy ignorance, or, wind and solar.
And that is why the UCP must make it publicly and loudly clear that it will not allow the province to suffer energy or food shortages and ignore edicts from Ottawa that would cause either.
Notably, the Conservatives were in power in Alberta the last four years. A lot of this falls on their head. In 2022, wind and solar in Alberta grew by about a third, and they were in power when these grid alerts started happening.
No argument here, Alberta Conservatives spend like the NDP but when it comes to business are happy-faced fascists instead of dour humorless anti-business NDP fascists. The Conservatives climate hysteria-lite stance has been part of the suicidal urban-centric progressive stance. Conservatives, being fatally compromised libertarians are at best, a slower form of suicide. The “disgraced” lady who fumbled the dog shit analogy was unintentionally describing Conservatives as they would compromise with anything making them the party of the dog shit milkshake. Liberals, NDP, and Greens are more pure in their evil.
Conservatives? Under progressive Jason Kenney? Conservative in name but not in policy.
Jason Kenny didnt get his sorry little progressive hat handed to him because he was too conservative.
But he did his job of stopping actual conservative policies (that matter) from getting advanced.
Smith will suffer the same fate if she continues to validate the climate garbage.
Easiest thing to prove is that C02 is life, and AGW/Climate change and its totalitarian dictats are a fraud.
Otherwise she is simply helping weave the rope we will be hung with.
I just assumed Notley had tied us in to long term contracts for wind and solar that would have been prohibitively expensive to break, hence the continued wind/solar installations. I could sadly be wrong.
Which is one of the many reasons I had trouble voting for them, other big ones being their idiotic and un-conservative covid policies and complete inability to look after ordinary house-keeping like controlling leftist municipal councils and keeping the civil service actually doing services. The 4 month delay at the Land Titles Office registering documents, is now down to 7 weeks, wow, super, it used to be 2 days, Jesus H. Christ, monumental incompetence.
I did vote conservative in the end, holding my nose, but if they don’t clean house, I’m done, let the place burn down.

U. has proven the effectiveness of short videos on serious issues.
Hosting an information campaign of direct dialogue unfiltered by the Mendacious Mainstream Media is the way out of the swamp. Free
Speech, so failed ideas die, instead of economies, nations and people.
*(As does the nascent populist political movement in Saskatchewan.)
Make it so.
Maybe conservatives just don’t have the answers in todays society.
What roll did they play in the pandemic? Conservative governments had no answer.
Voters aren’t buying the conservative message.
Why? Because there are no conservatives. Has that not become apparent?
Where are the conservatives? The ones with the answers.
It all starts with those who rule us pushing the anti-scientific lie of anthropogenic global warming. And then announcing the beyond imbecilic solution – destroying our economies. All while the “developing world” more than offsets any “progress” we make.
Those who rule us have been attacking us and our way of life for many decades based on lies. They are the ones behind feminism, communism, BLM, global warming, the Coronahoax, sexual perversion, etc. They are the ones who have attacked all of our industries one-at-a-time. Fisheries. Forestry. Mining. Farming. The petroleum industry. And now the cattle industry.
They use their puppets in gov’t, Hollywood, “news” organizations, etc.
NONE of these “movements” are organic. All are pushed by front groups, and then immediately picked up by state propaganda organizations like the CBC.
Fake controlled opposition conservatives-in-name-only in/from Alberta like Lougheed, and more recently Stelmach, Redford, Jesuit Jason Kenney, Michelle Rempel, Stephen Harper, etc. have done NOTHING to oppose any of these agendas. Occasionally they’ll say something to polish their conservative credentials, but will NEVER do anything.
The puppets who do the bidding of these POS’s deserve worse than hangings for their complicity in treason. And those behind them deserve slow burnings.
Why bother? Let them kill themselves but do not participate.
A few years ago when coal was still being used to heat boilers and create electricity, AB had 1100 years of coal supply.
I think it’s worth noting that when one has 1100 years of coal supply on hand, the search for more coal has ended.
For example, what are you going to do with 1200 years of coal? … exactly
Yesterday SaskPower was also scrambling , I turned absolutely everything on in my house. I want this baby to crash now so the sheeple can get a taste before it happens at -40.
And it’s all so pointless with nuclear and possibly space-based solar in the wings (no really).
