As of 31 July, Alberta has already experienced a record 41 hours of wholesale electricity prices at $0 per megawatt hour (MW/h), according to a National Energy Board press release.
The record number of $0 hour occurrences in 2017 coincides with higher than usual electricity imports from British Columbia during the month of June, 2017.
Maybe we should close down those coal plants more quickly.
Notley calls BC chaotic and unstable.
“It would cause nothing but chaos and instability,” said Notley. “And it would absolutely stop dead in its tracks, the economic recovery that our government is proud to be leading right now.”
Ralph is rightly deified for his moral clarity in cutting AB’s credit card. If the UCP under Kenny could do that he would achieve a similar legacy.

Unprecedented case could affect Liberals’ political future
The potential political consequences of a sitting premier testifying in open court on allegations her most trusted adviser and a prominent Liberal fundraiser bribed a would-be Liberal candidate cannot be overstated.
Leaving aside this trial, the Liberals have foolishly, recklessly and repeatedly treated Ontario as their own fiefdom to rule as they see fit — and the rules be damned.
Now, a 2-4 day prediction:
Climate models 30 years into the future.
#NotACult, no no no no.
The Liberal government is so “in touch” with Canadians that federal government spending on public opinion research has reached its highest point in nearly a decade.
Also, the feds seem to dislike Nanos (PDF, 27pp), 1 study for $8k. They seem to really like Ekos and Ipsos-Reid, 23 for $2.3M and 12 for $2.2M, respectively.
When normals get in financial trouble, we cut back on spending, forgo the wants and re-evaluate the necessities. If the situation is bad enough we have to declare bankruptcy.
When Shiny Pony gets in a financial mess, his mouth flaps. The attack on small business owners is well under-way. The smear job is official. Ten Million for terrorists, $373-million for Bombardier, the back of the hand for the driven.
“I want to be clear,” Trudeau told the assembled MPs.
“People who make $50,000 a year should not pay higher taxes than people who make $250,000 a year.”
Notice how Trudeau completely ignores the fact the corporations and the employees pay taxes? And that the sum total of those taxes are nearly equal to the personal tax a straight up employee making the same amount will pay? How he ignores the fact of tax integration?
You might be called an idiot if you think the employees of Bell should pay more in taxes to top up what Bell Communications Inc. pays, no?

An anthropology professor has instructed her students that stereotyping someone in class is a punishable offence — on the same day that she handed out a four-page “white privilege” checklist listing common generalisations about white people.
Kenny Shields Day in Saskatchewan. Enjoy some Streetheart.
The arrogant, spend-thrifts deserve it for labelling small business owners as crooks.
Canadians aren’t crooks, Liberals, Canadians are what allow you to send $Billions around the world for your zero-goal, virtue signalling, feel-good, “I wanna be on the security council” wet-dreams.
Does anyone seriously believe that all cultures are equal – either morally or as packages of norms and practices that are likely to lead to success?
A question you mustn’t ask, at least not in academia. One of these.
Scenes from an “anti-racist” rally in Vancouver, where students reveal the fruits of their expensive education.
It’s Labour Day weekend! Classic rivalries and classic upsets usually define the games played this week.
Thursday: Ottawa at Montreal. Ottawa nearly gave it away last week after Lulay came in, but managed to hang on and win. Have they figured it out? I’m picking the RedBlacks.
Sunday: Winnipeg at Saskatchewan. As I mentioned last week, the Bombers is the team to watch in the latter half of the season. I’m going to have to amend that to include the Riders after their performance in Edmonton last week. The Bombers already had their win at Mosaic this year, I’m going with the Riders.
Monday: Edmonton at Calgary. The Eskimos were in tough last week, the Stamps did what they do. They’ll continue this trend this week.
Monday: Toronto at Hamilton. The TiCat’s had a horrible week in which they managed to lose again without playing a game. They’ll win this week and perhaps begin to repair the damage done to their fan-base.

“My main complaint… is that we are not taken seriously at all. It is not appropriate to dismiss student concerns as being ludicrous.”
Pride float against Sharia law a go in ’11, no in ’17
Born in Iran, Shirazi immigrated to Vancouver where he became a founding member of Cirque de So Gay, an activist group of gay and transgender Middle Eastern men. For several years, the group marched in the Pride Parade and even won an award for their originality. But this year, its application was rejected as “culturally insensitive.”
It seems to me that these “inclusive” events have been more about excluding people of late.
Immigrants do not come from ‘Immigrantland’. Population differences related to entrepreneurial and earning potential are real, and significant, and difficult to bridge.
