First, Kenny was on Linkedin begging people not to vote for the NDP but, to support the Wild Rose Party who make up a large portion of his party. Since this was put up another name change came into effect the Independent Wild Rose Party all the same thing.
When this post went up they had to invent a new school curriculum so bizarre and off the wall that the province as a whole would reject it. Think of it! Look at the Bizzar subject matters that break the bounds of sense and sensibility!
Now that the @Wild Rose Party are unveiled in the #UCP they have theatre going on all channels hoping to push themselves into a majority position and deriding Kenny in a show of Bad Leader carrying this forward in Post Media and CTV. On this, they hope to get a majority and put us right back into the present mess we are in. Remember to this point, this is the same crew who made the present policies.
We have all had a hit from increased insurance premiums at one level or another. Condo's were hit especially hard. The Conservatives have an incestuous relationship with the insurance industry. In fact, it is the heart of their financial planning. Kenny took the freeze off insurance maximums that the NDP had put in place.

CALGARY: The Justice Centre today announced that it is appealing the March 22, 2021 decision of Justice Anne Kirker of the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench dismissing the constitutional challenge against Alberta’s Bill 10. The Court ruling holds that, since representatives of the Alberta government have stated that Bill 10 will be repealed at some point, it cannot be challenged currently. The filed Notice of Appeal states that the decision is an error of law.
Bill 10, the Public Health (Emergency Powers) Amendment Act, 2020, is the controversial legislation Premier Jason Kenney’s UCP rammed through the legislature in 48 hours in the spring of 2020, which transferred broad law-making power to his Minister of Health Tyler Shandro. The grant of such power to one individual to amend any existing law as that sole individual sees fit is unprecedented in the history of Canada.
On April 30, 2020, the Justice Centre filed a legal action challenging the constitutionality of the two delegating provisions, section 52.1(2)(b) and section 52.21(2)(b) of the Public Health Act as amended by Bill 10.
Justice Centre President John Carpay has called Bill 10 a “power grab under cover of the pandemic”, the “betrayal of the electorate and of the rule of law”, and “an affront to democracy and constitutionalism”. Since the filing of the lawsuit, the case has been slowed due to delay tactics and procedural wrangling by the government, and other systemic delays due to court closures and Covid. In dismissing the constitutional challenge against Bill 10, Justice Kirker relied on statements made by Health Minister Shandro from over five months ago, on October 15, 2020, that these sections enacted by Bill 10 would be repealed.
Despite these promises, Bill 10 has not been repealed. No bill has yet been tendered in the Alberta Legislature for its repeal. Counsel for Alberta informed the Court several times on the record that in fact Minister Shandro’s representations are not binding on the government of Alberta. Counsel for Alberta further informed the Court that he has no information when Bill 10 might actually be repealed.
Prior to Bill 10, the Public Health Act already gave extraordinary powers to Cabinet, the Minister of Health, and the Chief Medical Officer in the event of a public health emergency. These existing powers included taking citizen’s real or personal property without consent, authorizing entry into a person’s residence without a warrant, authorizing mass immunization of the public, and requiring mass public testing. Under these existing provisions, a minister could suspend – for up to 60 days – the operation of any existing law.
Adding to these existing powers, for the last year during Covid, Bill 10 allows a single Minister to unilaterally make new laws and create new offences for the people of Alberta, without consultation with the elected members of the Legislative Assembly. Bill 10 also raises maximum individual penalties for violating the Public Health Act to the eye-watering sum of $500,000. The Public Health Act has extended the power of Ministers to make new law for a period of up to 270 days, or even longer.
“Bill 10 was an act of political opportunism,” states John Carpay. “Before the public, or the Legislature for that matter, could clearly understand what was occurring, the UCP transferred enormous power to their Health Minister to unilaterally make and amend laws without debate or oversight from the legislative assembly. This lawsuit is about accountability before the courts and a check on the abuse of legislative power. The appeal of Justice Kirker’s decision will be pursued expeditiously.”
Kenny continues to follow in Ralph Klein's footsteps!
sellenium coal mines - Bing and the Minister won't talk about it!
For carbon dioxide to become critical (liquid form) it takes the pressure of 2600 feet below the surface.
Generally putting it downhole means they are using the solvent attributes of this liquid to scarf up oil remains in a formation. When they do this, the carbon dioxide is absorbed into the oil making it more fluid, easier to pump.
As this new mixture is moved to the surface, the pressure diminishes and carbon dioxide is released. On the surface, this appears to be boiling oil.
Weyburn Saskatchewan did this in a big way, importing carbon dioxide from North Dakota to put downhole to get more out of their formation. Reports of this time describe a venting of gas out of the rig with the sound of a jet engine and it would go for hours before oil showed up.
This has been going on since 2008 and is costing billions! Clean Energy Resources and Projects (CERP) | Natural Resources Canada (atlas.gc.ca)
The Transmountain Expansion can handle all the oil we produce. What we are not talking about is the prospects of expansion of the oil sands!
Until the Conservatives and the oil companies come up with a solution to eradicate or mitigate the settling ponds in Northern Alberta, there should be no talk of expansion! Those ponds are laced with rare metals and elements also, Arsenic Salts and Cyanide Salts. Enough so to class the ponds as a hazardous material.
Because of their nature rules are in place, if you take water out of the contaminated lake, you have to keep it. You can't put it back into the lake. This pretty much kills the chances of large scale centrifuge operations or like processes the future will come up with. I say again, No more Tar Sands Expansion until the lakes are in hand!
The
USA does not want Canada shipping oil off our west coast.
They
see it as opposition to their total control by the Gulf Coast refineries.
Conservatives serve the US before they serve Canada, Kenny tried and failed to
shut down the Trans Mountain Expansion!
He
was busted both times so, he tried to make it a battle of pensions.
Kenny drew the Alberta Teachers pension fund and put it into AIMCO which is not arm's length from the Conservatives. Kenny wanted to start a pension battle with Ottawa. Trans Mountain expansion is owned by the Canada Pension Plan.
He has since put in legislation preventing the Teachers Association from suing AIMCO.
A
great investment, they have contracts for 80 per cent of their capacity (all
they can legally book) Kenny took the teachers Pensions and financed the
Keystone line out of that putting up a contest between Ottawa and Alberta
expecting on one part for Ottawa to capitulate and quit the Trans Mountain.
Another
massive business decision failure was to think the Republicans would be in
office forever. He also chose to overlook the fact the US is self-sufficient in
oil production. There has never been a discussion on how much the pipeline
would charge to move oil.
Now,
he's casting about trying to push the forthcoming disaster onto someone else.
The guy is feeling the heat either from southern Alberta or from potential voters. Or, perhaps just desperate.
What he did in this expose' was to endorse the Wild Rose Party as a successor to the UCP. Never mind a good portion of the WRP are presently members of the UCP! He begged business not to vote NDP!
The UCP have a problem in controlling the religious comment in their political spiel. Fort instance Daniel Steel said "Homosexuals should burn in the fires of hell" and "The Chase Manhattan bank saved Alberta, not the federal government. Where in fact the chase manhattan bank financed the Mormon Temple in Salt lake for 100,000 dollars saving it from bankruptcy! Somehow she managed to loop this into Alberta politics! It certainly demonstrates the Mormon connection to the UCP and the WRP. They roll out the WRP every time the principal party gets in trouble; presented as a good guy and a bad guy routine.
In the past, the Conservatives on one side and the Wild Rose Party on the other side as the ugly hard-line cousin served to put up a lively exchange in the print newspapers.
It's good that the UCP can clearly see the exit door. That doesn't mean the Wild Rose have a place in our politic. And, don't forget the Red Deer MLA who was a lead Trump election organizer. Yup; make Alberta better right out of Trump's playbook.
Brian Jean got stuck on the all-party forum. He couldn't answer questions without checking with the Church.
The Conservatives robbed the Heritage Trust fund of 760 billion dollars the majority of the money ended up on the Texas coast. The remainder of the Heritage fund is in the hands of AIMCO who is not arm's length from the UCP pockets. We can't afford another Conservative Government Trump is gone so the don't have leadership hence Kenny's begging on your vote to go to the WRP.
Harper is still in the woodwork as a coach and advisor. Harper's son still works in Kenny's office with a plush 100,000 dollar a year first-time job.
This brings me to Rachel Notley and the Alberta NDP. While in office she raised Alberta GDP to the highest provincial balance in Canada! Our Health Care was safe for our medical staff secure. Kenny took office and put them all on notice! He's in a bind to go onto Linkedin with his speil knowing full well I was on there.
Not the least of it is Post Media have again cut me off their Calgary site from commenting on the same subject matter. The Fed really has to do something harsh about post media and their owner, bell media.
If you are in the market for a new computer #Microsoft O/S might look attractive but, it's not.
MS has taken the view they are the morality champions of the world. All under the name of security or safety, they block different apps in the name as a favour to you,
The point in fact, "torrent" or variations of "torrent" are blocked by the operating system. The thing is they can and will block anything they don't approve of.
I'm already vested in #MS or, I would switch to just about anything else!.
Sadly it demonstrates how MS can change any aspect of their OS without notice or consultation. It is a dictatorship, not a choice.
Alberta's figures are sky-high, way beyond the numbers of other provinces. Even Ontario who is in Shit-shape is lower than Alberta's numbers!
Kenny's hiring of antimask protesters would account for some of the burst in infected numbers, however, not all. The no isolation for oil workers in the tar sands, now classified as essential workers, don't have to isolate when returning from the infected US.
Considering that Kenny's first public announcement was "I'm not going to lie anymore" and it turned out to be the first lie. At least Doug Ford in Ontario is trying. We cannot say that about Kenny and the UCP who we can't trust even for the simplest stats.
We should have had a lockdown in travel months ago!
China has embarked on building the world's first fusion reactor! This will be the holy grail of the nuclear industry. Fusion is the same process the sun works on. A fusion reactor should only leave water as a by-product! And, yes, it will be a game-changer.
Yes, Canada and the rest of the world have adopted a cautionary tone in their position on China.
Just a thought, perhaps China will share the elusive technology?
The Globe and Mail are promoting Jagmeet Singh who is playing both ends against the middle. He backed the Conservatives on the Huawei buying into the Conservative Bell Media BS. This man would not do his own research, went for the easy bag and it will come back to bite him in the ass.
He even failed to note Huawei has been building and running the G5 network in BC for over 10 years with no complaints.
Look south of the border with their Foreign Hackers. All of these departments would be on Bell Media G5 Networks! Speaks so highly of the Company yet, not a whisper of this from #CNN.
