…it’s net-zero for Canada, net-infinity for Carney.

The latest scheme involves a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project, a facility that uses batteries to store and release electricity on demand. These systems are typically used for grid stabilization, renewable energy integration, and providing backup power during outages, which are growing increasingly frequent in Green-besotted Canada. It turns out that the Ottawa BESS projects for Fitzroy Harbour and Trail Road, which will generate at most 4 hours supply, are to be built by Evolugen, the Canadian renewable energy platform of—you guessed it—Brookfield Renewable.

Media My Editor Hates Me 20 Comments

Via Ace;

CBS is [in] crisis – with staffers crying in the hallways, fighting over story coverage and seating, and scrambling to update their resumes amid fears of mass layoffs.

Insiders have told the Daily Mail that morale has plummeted across the network, from the flagship Sunday news show 60 Minutes to CBS Mornings, sparked by a looming $8.4 billion merger and a $20 billion lawsuit.

The tumult is turning into a ‘bloodbath’, one employee said, with feverish speculation rife among colleagues as to who will get the axe next.

‘My friends, watch out for the Khalistani sympathizer in the yellow turban.’

Tommy Douglas: Not Dead Enough 22 Comments

Toto, I have a feeling we’re not in Mouseland * anymore.

So let’s talk about the sad spectacle that just unfolded in Ottawa today, where interim NDP leader Don Davies—yes, Don Davies, a name you probably haven’t heard since Jagmeet Singh’s socialist train wreck finally derailed—stood in front of the Canadian press and tried to convince the country that the New Democratic Party still matters. Spoiler alert: they don’t.

This was not a press conference. It was a whimpering plea from a party that got obliterated at the ballot box, reduced to just seven seats. That’s right—seven. You could fit the entire NDP caucus into a single minivan and still have room for snacks. And yet, here’s Davies babbling about how the NDP is somehow going to hold the “balance of power” in Parliament. Delusional doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Now that the election is over and the culture is safe from the predations of those nasty conservatives, the mainstream financial media can now openly admit what most SDA readers have known for months: the Canadian economy is headed for the dumpster.

TD expects another 100,000 Canadian jobs could be lost through the third quarter, bringing the unemployment rate to a peak of 7.2 per cent, a full percentage point higher than the bank’s December forecast.

The bank has also downgraded its forecast for gross domestic product and is now calling for a contraction in the second and third quarters of this year.

 

New Liberal Energy Minister sends different message

Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Tim Hodgson at the Calgary Chamber of Commerce, verbatim

In Pipeline Online’s continuing mission to tell you exactly what the federal Liberal government is saying on energy and environmental policy, this is the verbatim speech of the new Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Tim Hodgson, who spoke at the Calgary Chamber of Commerce on May 23. In this case, the ministry was kind enough to provide the transcript online, indicating this is a message they really, really want to get out there.

And it is worth taking in. This guy sounds NOTHING like Wilkinson or Guilbeault. He promises reviews in 2 years, not 5. Wilkinson wanted to keep it in the ground.

You can also watch it in the link provided in the story on CPAC’s YouTube channel. I encourage you to take the time to do so. It’s cued up to start at his speech, but if you want to hear his background, which including working on the financing for the Alliance Pipeline, rewind a bit and hear a glowing introduction from the CEO of Suncor.

Notably, the Alliance Pipeline he mentioned financing was the last major pipeline project I worked on. I started work three weeks after my wedding. And out of the 12 guys on my road bore crew, I was the only one married once.

For giggles, if you want to see who the Anti-Zinchuk is, this is a video from Markham Hislop. He posts daily videos hating everything about the Canadian energy sector, from every angle imaginable. In this video he shoots down the idea Hodgson speaks of regarding Canada becoming an energy superpower. Didn’t Harper come up with that? That’s right, he did.

 

It got 14000 views in less than a day, and 255 comments.
