It's discouraging to constantly read stories about borderline excessively strong production from solar (e.g California), meanwhile a couple winters ago the UCP sent an emergency alert to Albertans asking them to stop using electricity because our FF-based infrastructure was at the brink of failure.

What a line.

If I were them, I would offer to apologize, if she would also apologize for being such a b****. Oh wait, she doesn't seem to want to apologize for that.

This is an interesting poll by CBC in that it’s available for individuals to take And rates your response relative to those polled.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/alberta-who-are-we-questionnaire-1.7575795

8 quick multiple choice questions with surprisingly accurate results (at least based on mine).

Much better than the Province’s “we’ll just change the poll half way through and combine the results”. Really! You just can’t make this sh!T up.

Funny how left or right gets identified these days based on those questions. My responses placed me firmly left, which in my mind I’m pretty centrist. I’m a progressive conservative, of old, but wouldn’t call myself that now, more like a lougheed/mulroney conservative. I don’t think that makes me left.

This thread on Smith's recent comments and deflection on the Jasper fire response report is very good - it includes brief video footage of Smith and her minister during the fire contradicting what she is saying now.

Smith lies or has a bad memory. And she got very triggered by this report.

Could be both - lies and a bad memory. In any event, definitely triggered her. How dare they question the dear leader!

Starting to sound and act a lot like the orange POS down south.

Book bans, back tracking/not remembering what she said.

She's got Trump written all over her in a lot of cases.
