Pipeline Online does one of its deepest dives yet into the injunction application meant to shut down Saskatchewan’s coal-fired generation fleet, just as this province begins its rebirth. At stake are 1100 jobs, billions of dollars, and keeping 44% of Saskatchewan’s lights on. And just who gets to govern around here, anyhow?
I spent five days working on this five part series which starts Monday. The Saskatchewan Environmental Society and Citizens for Public Justice have put forward a 12-year-old non-binary child from Regina who has been in national headlines now three times in two years (attention seeking, perhaps?) as the Saskatchewan version of Greta Mark II as part of this. And be forewarned, the lawyer who did that said that if anyone said nasty things online about the child he put forward, there could be legal consequences. Is he using the child as bait? I dig into this in Part 3.
The other inviduals are a Saskatoon environmental podcaster who is taking a poli sci degree in her 50s. And the third is a Manitoba farmer who neither lives in Saskatchewan nor is a SaskPower customer.
And it was only at the end of this process I realized the lawyer filing the case has run unsuccessfully for office five times. Is he trying to accomplish through the courts what he failed at the ballot box?
This is lawfare, pure and simple.
I’ll have a piece each day. Watch for it and share if you’re willing.
What you may or may not know is that Peter Prebble, who sits on the board of The Saskatchewan Energy Society has led a rather charmed life as a NDP member of the Saskatchewan legislature starting in 1978 and ending in 2007 with a few breaks in between.
His political affiliation and career are strangely absent in his bio. That’s weird.
Mole much?
Anyways – One more reason I wouldn’t give any member of the NDP the time of day nor would I require their opinion on all matters concerning energy or anything. Socialists have never been serious players although they’ll Bullsh** you till the cows come home to convince you otherwise.
If I want to know what cheese pairs best with a Chardonnay…I’ll consult Ms.Young, apart from that…just go away, adults are talking.
I’m sure all the companies are going to frontload their costs and go after the all of them for costs.
That being said, it’s going to take years especially since the judges don’t really care about the law, or practicality, just about enforcing their will on the peons (See also: toronto bike lanes are a right, but also not a right)
L – The most critical factor to survival in Saskatchewan is access to reliable and affordable energy! Devastate Saskatchewan and the economy and it goes on the global market at fire sale prices, to the buyer(nation state) with a combination of deep pockets and political influence in Ottawa!
If the Saskatchewan government wants to win this fight in court. They have to win it in the mind of the judiciary. If the government here adopts the same legislation allowing constitutional questions to be voted on by the citizenry. Then and only then, will they take Saskatchewan seriously. Existential threats require responses equal to the threat.
So that government “Of the people, for the people and by the people” will not perish from this nation carved out of the wilderness by men and women of uncommon valour,
No, the whiny look at me kid should have no standing on the issue.
The welfare of the many outweigh the whininess of the one.
