"Hundreds of pages of documents, obtained by The Narwhal through freedom of information requests, showed the government expressed its desire to halt projects only one month into its mandate. They showed the government was behind the push, and not independent agencies as Smith repeatedly claimed."

In a plot worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster movie villain, Danielle Smith and her minions, lied about the origins of the Alberta renewables moratorium.

"I've had people react very emotionally to seeing their houses swamped with water, as you can imagine. In previous tours with the earlier CLIVE, I've had people actually crying as a result."

ICYMI: Lots to digest in the hearing into former Alberta Justice Minister Kaycee Madu by the Law Society of Alberta.

-Was it because of the investigation into LPS?
-Why did Madu have three cell phones?

Another 5 spots on the water main feeder pipe discovered and another 3-5 weeks needed for repairs.

Yes, profiteers should be held accountable but also:

"Overall, researchers warn that climate change could potentially increase food prices by up to 3.2% every single year."

"...one of the biggest drivers of inflation is the volatile price of fossil fuels."

"A major part of the problem is a business model...that compels them to continue expanding networks, since their revenue comes mainly from regulated returns they receive on installed infrastructure, not from the gas they pass through to households at cost."
