But the market they are pushing for is evaporating, quite literally towards clean energy.

COMMENTARY: If this was happening in another nation, we'd call it by name. It's authoritarianism.

Alberta already has a deregulated energy market, so forcing companies to buy this power when they can get cheaper power seems not very free market.

Color-tinted historical photo of Jasper Avenue in Edmonton, Alberta, looking east, featuring a wide dirt street lined with early 20th-century buildings, including shops with awnings. Horse-drawn carts and a few pedestrians, including a man in a suit walking in the center, are visible. Utility poles line the street, and the sky is depicted with scattered clouds. The text "EDMONTON, ALTA, JASPER AVENUE, LOOKING EAST" is printed at the top.

On Sept. 1, 1905, Alberta became a province along with Saskatchewan.
One of the first tasks for the new province was to choose an official capital.
Two main options were considered, Edmonton and Calgary.
This is the story of how Edmonton became the capital.

But like aren’t cars registered to an individual? Sure someone else could have been driving it at that time but you know at least one person responsible.

Move Over, Training Wheels: There’s a Better Way to Teach a Kid to Ride a Bike The six bike experts we talked to all agree: The balance bike method is the best way to teach a kid to ride a bike.

If you’ve ever struggled to learn to ride a bike, try ditching the pedals and focusing on balance first. It’s a simple trick that works for kidsβ€”and adults too! πŸ€“πŸš²

Here’s a handy guide to get you started: www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/r...

Peacock feathers can be lasers Tail feathers can emit narrow beams of light, a first in the animal kingdom

Peacocks have a secret hidden in their brightly colored tail feathers: tiny reflective structures that can amplify light into a laser beam. scim.ag/3UEM2oQ
