When his mic was silenced, Li was about to ask why the government pays $460 million to private schools, while public schools are deprived. A good question, although asking it can get you spanked. calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu... via @ calgaryherald #Cdnpoli #Ableg

In Alberta's official births data, there is an entry for a boy born in 2020 with the name Ííîîïïòòóóôôõõööùùúúûûüüýýààááââããääççè

I want to think this is a data-entry error but I also want to think this was someone just absolutely trolling the registry / vital statistics staff.

You can look up that name (and any name) here:

If ultra-wealthy industry front groups begging money from governments like #PathwaysNetZero want a shred of credibility they need to answer whether they agree with #Scotiabank (no innocents themselves on all this) or not. Every Albertan deserves an answer.

Scotiabank says royalty credits for well cleanup would damage industry’s reputation

CALGARY - Scotiabank is warning that the Alberta government’s plan to give oil companies a royalty credit for cleaning up their old wells could damage the reputation of Canada’s oil and gas industry.

Here's the prime #OrphanOilwell problem as I understand it: #BigOil (which has all the $ in the world) "sells off" spent oilwells to small companies going bankrupt & who could *never* afford cleanup in the first place. This from an industry claiming to produce #EthicalOil.

It's the same bunch of crooks that'd like us to trust them on #CCS and think Canada should give them billions. Just ask the enormous liars at
#PathwaysNetZero.

Obviously it should go without saying that any #BigOil company that sold their #OrphanWells to companies all knew couldn't pay for the cleanup should not only not get one cent of this 20 billion but no federal #CCS $ either. Same with oil companies that took #CERB then turned around and offered #ShareBuyBacks to investors. Fool me once...
