This story is the tip of the iceberg! The Conservatives separated generation from Transmission with the sale of PPAs (Power Purchase Agreements)

The higher profit agreements were picked up right away. Many of these purchases were resold or “flipped” within a week. Some reported to be flipped several times. Conservative insiders picked up a load of quick gold from this.

The not so profitable (gas generation) was picked up by the Parent Company of Great West Life (Mazankowski) who still owns them but with Natural Gas cheap these PPAs are worth a lot more.
At the end of this charade to jack up prices the cities ended up with most of the PPAs.

The battle for power generation continues.. Fording Coal owned large tracks of coal in Central Alberta. They wanted to build a generation plant there similar to Sundance at a factious name of Bow City Alberta. They were going to build their own power lines to Calgary and to Southern Alberta. This was in truth High River.

TransAlta along with the Cons moved to stop this. They went so far as to privately fund environmental groups active at that time who were protesting a coal generation plant.

Since that time, ENMAX is building a gas generated plant outside of Calgary. This hit a big fight by EPCOR, TransAlta and the Conservative Government as it would negate the argument that southern lines were needed for Calgary.

We have a similar thing happening now (using water analogy) Municipalities in Southern Alberta are slated to export bulk water to the US with private holdings pocketing the profits. Insiders hard at work… All the available water allotments are out now and being banked by oil companies who are poised to sell them to municipalities.

The Liberals said earlier they would draw all the water allotments back into the Crown and redistribute as to need. If there is to be water export, the profits would come into the provincial treasury rather than Conservative insiders.  Municipalities would not have to pay US import water prices for their service!

This same group of people are among the major contributors to the Wild Rose Party (2.1 million dollars) who are entirely on side with the Conservatives in all matters.  They have attracted all the Klein drop outs.

These items were all followed at the time.  Top Right Corner of this blog search for those items that interest you. eg: PPA, Water; Electricty; and so on.

Wild Rose Party. Funding and Program!

Wild Rose Party. Funding and Program!

Albertans must surly know the funding for Orman comes from the oil companies where as  the huge Funding for the Wild Rose party 2.1 million dollars is coming from vested interests, both the energy companies and the Mormon church who are not at all shy about these things.   Not only that but municipalities in Southern Alberta who are vested in Bulk Water Exports to the US are big contributors.    Of course this is not legal so nothing will be said until after elections at which point she will take the "divulge nothing" option and pay her 15.000 dollar fine.

Our royalty is zero;zilch; nada!  Our Heritage Trust which should have been far above 200 billion dollars is now sitting at 15 billion.  That in turn will be gone by 2014 where  Liepert expects a 5 billion dollar surplus off taxes alone having totally done away with Alberta Health Care and having sold off provincial hospitals to private companies and physician and health care consortium's.

 

Danielle Smith, Orman and the Wild Rose Party are completely on board with all of this. Example: When the Heritage Trust blossomed again, she said "Wild Rose will start a new account made up of  Taxpayer contributions!)  They too are not going to take any royalty for our oil.  On tar sands alone we are presently loosing 1.6 million dollars per day in revenue!

Pubic Pensions, still being sacked will be explained away  as needed adjustments, down by 50% or more!

The schools are on the verge of privatization having all but done away with the public school systems.

Universities will remain frozen in funding to 1986 levels.  Only our richest families will be able to attend.  Support for university at the high school level will depend on how much money you pay to attend a school that offers those specific courses.

You have just this one chance to change this province for the sake of your kids and your futures!

Support me in backing the Liberals.  The NDP are simply a protest vote and this is not the time to play around!
