Alberta’s got to get their shit today and elect a serious person next time.

Danielle Smith: Letting 5 year olds decide what's for dinner and when to go to bed.

Smith said the province tried to work collaboratively with the federal government to make the province’s electricity grid net zero by 2050

"The feds didn't capitulate to our demands so we're taking the province of Alberta hostage"

“We will not put our operators at risk of going to jail if they do not achieve the unachievable,”

It's unachievable, Danielle, because your ignorant ass put a moratorium on renewable energy projects. And why does she feel the need to feign sympathy for the dinosaurs at the top whose refusal to act is the reason we're here in the first place? If they can't conduct business in accordance with the law, they can gtfo of the way and make room for those who can.

"...he's a maverick. He doesn’t seem to care about the law, doesn’t care about the Constitution. I do."

Says the person who personally donated $60k to a seditious organization.

As far as I'm concerned, these excuses are nothing but selfish and asinine. They only serve to vindicate and encourage the bad behaviour of those who ought to be taking responsibility. How exactly "It's too expensive" is a serious take when we all just spent 4 consecutive months living inside a cloud of wildfire smoke is beyond me. Fuck off.

Please drop the hammer on us when she does. This shit will never end otherwise.

Oh, Alberta. This isn't a good look, but neither is anything else you do. 🤭

Alberta is about to create a federal constitutional challenge, and find out that they are, despite the conservatives' collective pipe dream, part of Canada.

I can already hear the chorus of "this is a gross overreach of federal power" and "Trudeau is a dictator" whines coming from the usual culprits. And the base gets riled up even further...

It's starting to become ever more tempting to, at some point, actually give them that freedom they so desperately want and defederate Alberta from Canada. I give them about as long as California was actually independent for before they come begging to be let back in, after they come to the realization that they are a land-locked nation that depends on its neighbors and existing trade relationships and agreements to sell any of their precious oil to the world.

Be careful what you wish for wild roses, you just might get it.

How embarrassing.

Isn't Alberta and Saskatchewan the only provinces without electrical car rebates?

As an Edmontonian, this is perpetually exhausting.

I don't want to have to sell my house and move to Newfoundland, but it seems like maybe that's what I am going to have to do if this shit keeps up.

I have basically zero financial, cultural, spiritual, or emotional reason to stick around other than my family lives here.

Her competency def scares me so I say go for it
