The Albertan government launched their "Alberta COVID-19 Pandemic Response" report, and it's batshit insane.

Imagine if your government hired only known conspiracy theorists to write a report, and this is what you get.

It's truly incredible how the #CBC managed to avoid directly mentioning climate change in this piece:

Someone's afraid of the CP defunding them... #abpoli #cdnpoli #ClimateChange

Just a note to my fellow Canadians, that this is most of the cause of the Canada Post strike that you're all complaining about during Christmas. Harper gutted public funding for Canada Post and told them to run like a business. They are an essential public service, and should not be run for profit!

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.

^{Toronto Star}

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...
