How a Nuclear-Fossil Fuel Alliance Is Winning the Fight for Energy Dominance The once unlikely partnership’s influence now reaches right into the White House, where President Trump wants to ban certain renewable projects.

No surprise that the nuclear industry is undermining renewable energy in the US. They’ve been doing that in France for a long time.

Acting Chief Teri Vellibrun with the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nations made her position very clear today!

The AFCN stand with coastal First Nations and against everything in the pipeline MOU.

Name ONE THING the UCP has done that will improve the lives of Albertans.

Lethbridgians worried MLA recall drive is a 'sham' that's ignoring volunteers | CBC News Locals can't sign up to canvass for petitions against United Conservative MLA Nathan Neudorf or find out where to sign forms.

Some people in Lethbridge who want to recall their MLA are now worried the petition against him is actually designed to *protect* the MLA from being recalled.

Alberta's recall rules say that once a petition is launched and fails, no subsequent petitions can be launched.

Beyond Local: Government communications department worried public may question sole-source contract The Communications and Public Engagement department hired Mash Strategy to run the campaign for the Alberta Next Panel.

So the UCP knew that the sole sourced contract to a company with multiple previous government employees was sketchy and questionable…

And they went ahead with it anyway.

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

The climate crisis is making extreme weather WORSE and more frequent. We need to urgently act. Big polluters should pay to fix the damage.

Right now we’re just doing oil piracy

The province-level Conservative Party (UPC) in Alberta is using the “Notwithstanding Clause” a STAGGERING 4TH TIME IN UNDER 2 MONTHS to ignore the Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms. In this Alberta Govt, extremist ideology is clearly a lot more important than human rights and the rule of law.

I'm sorry, but there is just no business case to expand BC LNG.

Furthermore, David Eby, Mark Carney, Time Hodgson haven't bothered to make one.

Who needs customers, right?
