Oh, I get it. You're just trolling, but poorly. Have some imagination at least...

Slightly. 😉
I still believe this falls firmly under provincial rights. Ensuring stability of the electric grid is a matter of life and death in the north. The Feds are unwilling to understand that.
Then perhaps they should stop subsidizing the on-it’s-way-out o&g sector and use that money to modernize the grids you’re saying won’t work.
It’s really not that difficult.
If only Alberta had some sort of major windfall years ago that they could have invested heavily into renewable energy projects...
We’ve known about this problem for over 20 years now. Alberta has done the bare minimum to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels for electrical generation.
And Alberta still has 12 years to bring new capacity online. That will have been 32 years in which they sat with their hands against their ears and did little but yell OIL OIL OIL!
If the Albertans government was so concerned for those in the north of the Province, they would have got to work decades ago. Global warming isn’t a new phenomenon they’ve only known about for the least 2 years. Other Provinces have successfully shut down their CO2 emitting power plants during this time — Alberta absolutely should not get a pass on this as a reward for doing close to squat for the least 2 decades.
Right now, unless we drastically change pace, there are 5 major glaciers at risk of collapsing in the next 15-20 years.
Each of these glaciers will independently make every coastal city(globally) uninhabitable due to sea level rise.
The time for drastic action is now.
