Let the eastern bastards freeze in the dark: “Oh dear!* The people who will never vote Conservative might not vote for them if they repeal Trudeau’s energy suicide pact.”

Jason Nixon, now back in the inner circle of the UCP government led by Premier Danielle Smith, says many of those he represents in the legislature, those around the Sundre, Rocky Mountain House and Rimbey area, feel abused by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
His attacks on Alberta, his attacks on the oilpatch. They are well past fed up.
Nixon doesn’t hold back, slamming Trudeau for treating different parts of the country differently.
“The biggest threat to Confederation isn’t Albertans. We’re patriotic Canadians. It’s Justin Trudeau. He is the threat to Confederation. He wants to break it up. He is a threat to Canada, not Alberta,” says Nixon [..]
We do know after Smith’s latest meeting with Trudeau, where he wouldn’t budge on his impossible oilpatch emission targets for the next seven years or a net-zero electricity grid in a dozen years, the Alberta premier did say the province’s sovereignty act could be triggered if Ottawa doesn’t compromise and show some sense of reality.
The sovereignty act, where Alberta would just not follow Trudeau’s orders.
If the premier defies Ottawa in the name of Alberta, Nixon is confident there would be widespread support for “any actions it will take to defend our province from a hostile prime minister and a hostile federal government.”
“The premier’s job, and she knows it and I completely support her, is to defend Albertans and not try to appease elites in eastern Canada,” says Nixon.
“That’s not her job. Her job is to defend Albertans and that’s what she’s going to do.”
Trudeau is importing hundreds of thousands of immigrant voters for a reason, Mr. Nixon.

The West Wants Out
What are you waiting for?
If it wasn’t clear before, it is now.
The Trudeau government doesn’t want to just reduce emissions in our energy sector, they want to completely shut down our energy sector. https://t.co/X635j5V1Ga

If something cannot go on forever, it will stop.
Earlier this month, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said the federal government’s goal for net-zero emissions wasn’t realistic.
He doubled down on that statement Tuesday while announcing the province’s plans for electricity generation to 2035 and beyond.
“The federal government’s standards for zero emissions electrical generation by 2035 are unrealistic and unaffordable,” Moe said in a media release. “They mean SaskPower rates would more than double and we may not have enough generation to keep the lights on.
“I’m not going to let that happen.”
That which can be ignored no longer: Alberta’s wind power drops to 2 megawatts out of 3618 on Friday, the lowest level we’ve seen yet

And by golly, we’re getting one.
Governments at all levels and their multitude of agencies, Crown corporations and departments employ a large chunk of Canada’s labour market. According to the Fraser Institute, as of July 2022, Canada’s public sector represented 21.8 per cent of all jobs in the economy — and growing.
That means that nearly one out of every four Canadians works for the government — a staggering percentage, which is nearly double that of the United States and almost the same as communist Venezuela.
Nearly the same percentage as the Trudeau voting base.
Related – The Wheat Growers Association says it was stunned to learn that striking federal workers had intentionally targeted the Cascadia Terminal in Vancouver – a major port for grain exports. However, before that grain can be exported, it needs to be inspected – that inspection is normally done by Canadian Grain Commission inspectors that are part of the PSAC Union.
“Let me play the tape for you”.
The prime minister is in the Queen City today, with a full slate of appearances planned to promote the federal budget. We ask Justin Trudeau about the grocery rebate, mineral rights, the future of RCMP training and more.
This is really good work by CBC Saskatchewan’s Stefani Langenegger. Give it a listen.

Blacklocks: The Department of Industry confirms it did approve secret subsidies to Volkswagen to build a battery plant in Ontario. Managers under questioning by Conservative MP Brad Vis (Mission-Matsqui, B.C.) promised to divulge the figure to the Commons industry committee: “The number of $15 billion was being thrown around.”

Grande Prairie, Alberta- City Council Approves Transition To New Locally-Led Municipal Police Service
Grande Prairie City Council has approved the establishment of a municipal police service and transition away from the RCMP.
The decision was made at a Grande Prairie City Council meeting on March 6 and follows a years-long assessment of policing in Grande Prairie. The assessment included a public consultation process, a review of existing policing methods, and the creation of a transition plan, led by the consultant MNP.
War On Agriculture
Agriculture and Agri-food Canada scientists have historically spent their time on things like improving yields, fighting crop diseases and increasing livestock feed efficiency — mostly agriculture production and risks to production.
Now, their top priorities should be sustainable agriculture and climate change, says the department’s Strategic Plan for Science, a document released last fall.[…]
A spokesperson for Canada’s agriculture minister Marie-Claude Bibeau said the change in the science strategy came from department leaders at AAFC, including Gilles Saindon, assistant deputy minister for the science and technology branch.
In an interview, Saindon said the shift in priorities was based on the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership, a five-year funding agreement between federal and provincial governments that came together last summer and takes effect April 1.
AAFC didn’t consult directly with farm groups or agriculture sector leaders before changing its scientific priorities.
There’s a reason for that.

Quebec has a problem! Then, voilà! Just like that! The problem is gone!
The federal government is paying to have migrants who are entering the country at the unofficial border crossing of Roxham Road moved from Quebec into other provinces, says Quebec’s Minister of Immigration Christine Fréchette.
Fréchette told reporters in Quebec City on Feb. 14 that the provincial government is “very happy” with the federal government’s action, which follows calls from Quebec for Ottawa to solve the issue of migrants seeking asylum after entering Canada through Roxham Road.
“We are starting to see results,” Fréchette said during a media scrum, according to the Globe and Mail.
Fréchette also said that nearly all of the 380 migrants who arrived in Quebec through Roxham Road on Feb. 11 and Feb. 12 were relocated to other provinces—mostly Ontario.
Fréchette said the federal government recently booked 500 hotel rooms in Ontario to house the migrants.
The migrants they voted for: “It was an unexpected surge. It’s hundreds in Niagara right now,”

The military stories are incredible. Then come the politics. Take the time, no, make the time, to listen. Language warning: it’s not for treatoddlers or woke snowflakes.
Together they have 54 years of Canadian military experience. They both served in Princess Patricia’s Light Infantry, combined they did tours in Croatia, Bosnia, Kosovo & Afghanistan. This episode marks the first attempt at a military roundtable where we hear stories about the military and an outlook on the world today.

WATCH: Canada's Chief Science Advisor was NEVER ASKED to evaluate if the 30% fertilizer emission reduction target would harm food production.
If the Liberals aren't consulting their own scientists, who is coming up with these arbitrary climate targets?
