Kenny claims Feds are stepping into Provincial Jurisdiction= BS!

 Kenny's latest rant about the Federal Government stepping into Provincial Jurisdiction is plainly BS but it has a reason.

Conservatives don't run a set of books.  They run out of one account "General Revenues"  All the money taken in by the province from any source goes into General Revenues.  Using this account is how the Conservatives managed to strip 760 billion dollars from the Heritage  Trust Fund.  

All profits above 5% were taken from the Heritage fund and dropped into General revenues where they were used to reduce taxes for the oil companies.  This in turn ended up in companies on the Gulf Coast. 

The Feds are pouring billions of dollars into Alberta to fight COVID 19.  They demanded accountability for where the money was being spent.

Back in our history, Ralph Klein actually refused Health Care transfers from Ottawa rather than explain where they were going to spend it in their privatization rush.

Climate Change and the imminent future!

 John Clark We are 66 years beyond the perfect circle around the sun. We have 34000 years to go until we reach the point furthest away. In these 66 years we should have been cooling off but, we are heating up.

Then, we have another 34000 years to move back to the perfect circle. The way we are going, animal life, will not exist for the journey. The oceans are presently absorbing much of our excess carbon dioxide turning the oceans into carbolic acid. As the oceans turn acidic, the fish quit spawning males and the species die. There goes a major food source and probably trade wars as fishermen can't understand the loss of catch other than overfishing.

In this citreous journey, the earth will see a dozen ice ages or more. These things are just too large for a conservative mind to get around and it allows their constant state of denial to rule. Because of this, I see earth turning into another Venus somewhere in our trip forward and all life as we know it will end.

Considering the majority of our provincial premiers were not elected to office but achieved office though the manipulations of Bell Media and their 200 newspapers there will come a point of total abandon or absolute uprising.

And, from millions of years ago an update:

Nuclear Power SMR and others, larger.

 Lots of misconception about Nuclear Power and Climate change.  

• Robin Chat

Author #Power generation in ON is a fiasco shared by both parties. Each has done their share of damage over three governments. 

Nuclear generation with construction faults in cooling. This happened all over the US too. Global warming fouled up their cooling abilities therefor their outputs. You see the same scenarios in Europe where rivers are too warm to provide the design cooling.
 

John Clark When faced with overheating because of a lack of cooling mechanisms (water lake river etc) the power operator will cut back the output. This brings on brown-outs,black-outs etc. This, in turn, means less profitability for the Generator and possibly subsidies from the government depending on which markets they are hooked up to the purpose being to cover the shortfall in their own generation. Once up and operating the power generation is a resource more than an industry.

A Flash from the Past!

 

Contrary to common Knowledge, PET joined with Peter Lougheed of Alberta to create The National Energy Program. The purpose of which was to increase Canadian Ownership in the Tar Sands which it did from 15% to 25% .

US oil owned our newspapers. the people with the bucks made the news! There was no internet nor was there a Facebook nor a Twitter. e-mailing copies of PDF was the extent of mass communication.

In this ancient climate, PET was leaving Alberta after meetings with Peter Lougheed. He was pursued down the train platform by a hoard of reporters asking impossible questions. One made a crude remark and PET wheeled around and flipped him the bird. This action was caught on camera and run in the local media as flipping the West the bird.

Then a world recession hit. Albertans have been encouraged to invest heavily in the Tar Sands. They mortgaged homes, businesses machinery, you name it to get capital to invest. And, they lost it all in the world recession. The Conservatives blamed the reduced price on oil and the financial climate as being the fault of the NEP! This resulted in the NEP to be shut down and hundreds of Suicides’ took place across the province and to some extent Canada. This latter took place under Ralph Klein who moved away from Lougheed’s moderate policies to the Republican hard line which has permeated our politics since.
