Sending the Peace River to the USA!

 

Weatherford Project detailed.

First Published SUNDAY, APRIL 01, 2012  

Weatherford Project the start of a gigantic transfer of water to the US. The whole program is adequately explained here: NAWAPA  (Credit to Richard Weatherhill)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERq86OlS-_k  This video is a US concept shown in its best light bought into whole heartedly by the Harper and Prentice Conservatives. (This is the US view of what they want)

The *Conservative Government has a fully mechanically engineered project sitting on their shelf from the 1980s.  It is as valid today as when it was paid for. Harper has removed the Navigable water protection from the River making it all possible.  It's in play now!  Trudeau killed the move.

This is the Weatherford project, the design being to move up to 2/3rds of the flow of the Peace River into the USA! 

#The project has 8 large electrical lift stations in it, each one using the power of a large city.  This is immense and under a Conservative Government taxpayers will pay for the infrastructure and private companies will take home the profits.

Under a "good" Liberal Government the price of construction would be carried by those who need the water, not those who supply it.  Think here of our present electricity debacle!



Government's direction will be handled by private industry and paid for by the Alberta Taxpayers.

For those of you in southern Alberta; the St. Mary's system and involved in the Western Irrigation District; Did you sign up for this?  Many of you were kicked off the board while others with cash were able to buy rock pile so they could claim adjoining property thereby being put on the board.

Mike Cardinal reworked the Western Irrigation board while he was selling off Crown Grazing Lands on the East Slope of the Rockies to the Agra Food Industry.  Rules of water ownership run First in Line, First in Time and these properties are where all of our groundwater used for drinking originates!  

When a River drops to 1/3 of its flow it goes stagnant, the river dies.  Kenny is okay with this as is a long list of Conservatives before him.

The US has announced it will build a rail from our North Coast to the US to move oil.  Why would they do this when they are oil self-sufficient.   I think rail is to move The Peace River by rail into the US!

Conservatives plans to change our Constitution.

 It was front and Centre at the time of the last #provincial elections! Carried mostly on the Conservative Facebook page, the ideas of what to change in our constitution. Upfront was privatizing the CPP and changing the numbers to adjust the Constitution. As it stands now, it takes six provinces with 50% of the population plus the Federal Chair to make changes. They are more than halfway there! They need only the Federal Chair.

Most of the changes as I recall you won’t like. There was talk of making Canada self-sufficient, Let Quebec export Electricity west and Quebec would take Alberta oil. The thing is, Alberta’s power is owned by cities and they would have to give up that income. Quebec? It had just lost it’s market in the US and still had a surplus, still charging way too much.

At this point in time, we should collectively change Conservative Governments in office provincially.

Off subject, but the same time frame Australia elected a Conservative Government in a major upset, no one could see it coming. Australia had just installed Bell into their country.

Consider, most were not put there honestly, Quebec, and Alberta are only two such provinces. They were put into office with the help of Bell Media and their 200 post newspapers. How it worked:

Scheer would make some wild statement in the house where he could not be attached legally. In most cases, he never received any acknowledgement. The Globe and Mail would pick up on whatever was said and publish it as fact when it was not. Then the other Post Media newspapers would spread it around the country and it would finally end up on our six PM news broadcast.

Only one example of such predatory action. Scheer accused Trudeau of misappropriation for charging 7000 dollars to the Government for his kid's playground. At the same time accused him of taking foreign gifts and not declaring them. The Globe made headlines of this and it was spun out as outlined above.

What actually happened was Trudeau paid 7000 from his own pocket for a playground set for his kids. The Government would not let him install the same and did so themselves at a cost to the taxpayer of 300.00 and change.

The Gift received was the Aga Kahn, a personal friend of the Trudeau family had given Trudeau a pair of sunglasses, value $300.

This managed a weeks time on the Globe and several days on your local news.

It was a steady diet like this that got the Conservatives across Canada elected. And, they are still doing it where possible.

Alberta's push on separation is a Kenny Sideshow.

 Did we have a rush of separation publicity before the Conservatives took office?  NO!

Where do the calls for separation emanate from?  Southern Alberta, those people who go shopping cross border on a daily basis.   Do calls for separation come from Southern Ontario?   NO!

This means the problem lays with the Mormon congregation in Southern Alberta!  And, as founders of the Conservative movement in Canada, they continue to push their agenda.

The last elections when the Conservatives were assured a windfall election with the help of Bell Media and Post media intervention the Con Facebook place had a long list of wish lists regarding changing our Constitution.  One item was to make it easier to succeed from Canada!  Others dealt with power regulations which would have us buying our electricity from Quebec at advanced prices.  There were forages into the US system of Health care and the ability to dissolve the CPP!

To change the Constitution it takes 6 provinces having 50% of the population and the Conservatives are better than halfway there!   All they need now is the Federal Chair!

I say to  you if  you want to keep Canada as a state serving the people rather then a Republican State like you see malfunctioning south of the border then, get over your "I voted because I didn't like" and change your mindset to "I vote because our country is at risk"  Do whatever you can to unseat the provincial Governments who were put into office by Bell Media and their 200 newspapers (Post Media)

In the meantime protect yourself and Tune out the Globe and Mail and the Montreal Gazette!

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 th
e 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.  

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.

Globe and Mail writing fantasy to support the sagging Bell Media in Canada.

 #Globe and Mail, all the Post-Media they are undependable news, are undependable news.  in this case they are fronting for Bell Media, their principal owner.  You can't depend on this post-medIa for any fact!

Comments were open on the Globe when I wrote this.  In their comment section, I wrote

"Diefenbaker shut down the Avro Arrow site, destroyed all the flying prototypes and gave the technology to the US, free,   The reason we cannot have nice things in Canada is because of the Conservatives, China has nothing to do with it"

Since that post went up, the Globe has closed all the comment section, it is no more.  Complete Conservative bias!

Erin O'Toole - The two sided leader.

 

 

Another snake in the grass Conservative! On the evening of his "win" and a few days after it was reported he had won over the "hard right-wing" of the Conservatives. According to the Jargon of the day, it was this extreme right-wing that elected him!

#The Conservatives viewed Kim Campbell as being a "Red" Tory. Now, we have a hard right-wing presenting himself as a "Red" tory as the leader of the group. He probably won't be the wing job that his predecessor was, but he is on Trump wavelength though and through.

Defund the WT0 - Con Leadership speeches.

 I tuned into the Conservative Leadership tonight and, it scares the hell out of me.  

Up, front and Center, a page out of Trump's play south.  Defund the WTO!. (World Trade Organization)

This will lead us back to one country to deal with, the US, and in between run interference with other nations for the US.


There is no up-side to this!.

Conservatives flirtation with Nuclear Power.

 On the new Conservative exploration into Nuclear power; the SMR 'smaller' units... China is the world's largest exporter of SMR units, the USA is second. The USA started them out with a 500MW unit (The kind's you see being dropped into place from the bed of a truck.)

China came out at the same time with 1000 MW units at about the same price as the US's 500 unit. The swept the market by offering very favourable finance terms for their units. Westinghouse who builds the US units offered no such incentive but rumoured to offer perks where the Chinese did not.
India, next door to China went with Westinghouse.

Size matters! Alberta has 16,300 MWH of output between all the Companies involved.

Being Conservatives they will not be building their own SMR's they will be buying US: Westinghouse.

This is the time for full disclosure on any deals they are researchings!. There is no advantage to us using SMR,s

They are usually used to shorten power transmission in territories where transmission is not straight forward. A Westinghouse purchase would put our electricity in the pockets of the US as our oil presently is.

WE Committee II the phoney committee

#The @Conservatives and @NDP after finding out they had nothing to argue about, turned the whole meeting into a propaganda display.  Repeating questions up to 5 times about numbers which had previously been proven false.

Pierre Povair even invoked the RCMP asking if the Government had taken calls from them recently.  This is a play on some kind of letter written to the RCMP by someone in the committee (probably Pierre).

Point is anyone can write a letter to the RCMP on anything they want.   It doesn't mean the letter has merit!

The Conservatives and NDP have turned this committee into a propaganda circus supplying globe media with a series of one Liners they can run with, not having to explain anything.

These same video cuts will be played back during the next election.

Finance Committee on WE

  • Debra Pain Mallon Considering the amount of money that is involved for the students I feel that The PM & the finance minister should be allowed to sit in on those discussions & asked for their professional input when needed. All parties have ties with the WE organization. Maybe the ethics regulations need to be changed for situations like this, after all, we have never gone through a pandemic & the liberals were only trying to find a way so our kids could continue their education. As far as the NDP wanting an election that is a joke & it shows you that Singh as a leader should step down. NDP is broke & they can not afford another election. The Bloc & the NDP have no chance of even becoming the opposition so why are they siding with the Cons? As far as the Cons go their #'s have gone down because they have stopped our kids from getting the education they need all because they falsely accuse JT & the liberals of being corrupt when all JT & the finance minister did wrong according to the ethics regulations was not accuse themselves because of their families having ties with WE. How much money & time is going to be wasted on this matter just so Dion will say that the ethic rules were broken but not in intent & no laws were broken & no crime has been committed. The Liberal government has done an excellent job & that alone just bugs Scheer. This is a personal grudge that Scheer has towards JT & why do the taxpayers have to pay for Scheer's jealousy? Scheer wants to go out with a bang & instead he will go down with egg on his face & cause his party to lose more votes which makes me very happy. Bye-bye Scheer-loser!!
  • John Clark It was entertaining to note the NDP trying to shout their questions after their time run out as if say loud is best in making a point. They had a lot laying on this having initialized the complaint on Mo in Saskatchewan. When the facts started to roll out they got pretty noisy but, it didn't help. I would imagine Mo is feeling a sense of relief. What really surprised me was the RBC weighing in after the Brothers had adequately explained everything. Remember we are dealing with a bunch of MPs who did not win the election, they stole it with the help of Bell Media and their post media cohorts.

Is the 2.1 billion dollars missing from AIMCO sitting in General Revenues?


AIMCO is not arm's length from the government.  Under the last Conservative Government, Jim Prentice, they stole 7 million dollars from the Government pension funds, then, denied doing so for 6 weeks.  At that point the union threatened to take AIMCO to court and the Government capitulated and put the money back into the pensions.  The loss of AIMCO was explained as poor performance in the market, just like the present loss of 2.1 billion dollars.

Kenny made the moves of building a pipeline to North Dakota, going nowhere, not targeting any market then, it was cancelled by US Republican intervention. 

It is my opinion, Kenny lifted the 2.1 billion dollars from AIMCO and dropped it into general revenues.  If we had a securities commission that was worth anything, this could be verified.   Another good reason to give the Federal Securities authority in Alberta.

WE if we had a Conservative Government.

How would a Conservative Government handle WE? 

First off, they would fire all the teachers.  Then, they would look at how much money was just laying there and move it into the pockets of their friends.  The Students?  They would see nothing, the Conservatives prefer to hire degrees out of the US than support University Education In Canada.

Extreme?  Not at all; this is their history.

The search for the Virus and PPE


The notion that one country should horde anything in a Pandemic is insane! It is the same b.s. that happens with people fleeing their countries because of war and many saying they need to stay home. 

One of the reasons stock was sent to China was because the best before date was coming up very fast and Canada had stock in the hospitals but not that much in cases. Other countries did the same, and that was because they wanted the virus eliminated at the source, not wait and see what happens. The virus spread quickly and Science was trying to get a handle on it not entirely trusting what China was saying. Asian countries that had experience SARS went into action asap, like South Korea. 

In Europe Germany got on it with suppression and testing, while countries like Italy seemed to be going to wait it out until they found out how bad that was. Meanwhile, Canada was looking for supplies and down south was buying up everything they could get their hands on including interfering in shipments to our country. 

Companies came forward and said they could produce and the Gov't listened and got a dollar amount together to support those companies selected to make different kinds of masks, ventilators, hand sanitizer, and they put money behind research for a cure. Once ramped up supplies were moving across the country and more and more lab-confirmed information was coming about the virus. 

Seems pretty easy to sit back and quarterback, but it is a waste of money and time if you run to put what you think is a fire because there is smoke only to find out there is no fire. 

Canada is a large, vast, country and we have witnessed how great we are when an unknown enemy, the virus, attacks. Now just wait and see what we can do when we know the enemy!
