Canada had a chance to be a supplier of natural gas to Europe. We had a chance at NA domestic energy security. We said no and now spend hundreds of millions buying Russian oil while Putin invades Ukraine.
May we never be this short sighted or stupid ever again.

With world's eyes on Ukraine/Russia, it is mind boggling that the US waived sanctions on Russian Nordstream 2 pipeline but blocked Canada's Keystone XL pipeline.
Even more mind numbing is Canada can't get LNG-export industry off the ground to help feed Europe's energy needs.

It's two years in. Most people are vaccinated. You can't keep asking people to cancel Christmas. We need more imagination on the public policy front than social misery.
Regarding the call between
@JustinTrudeau
and the premiers tonight.
Hearing:
Must be vaccinated to enter.
No non-citizens.
Advisory against non-essential travel.
Feds will also push provinces to enact domestic measures including limiting Christmas gatherings, even family.

I looked at the NDP's last budget.
They project oil to be at $63 in 2020/21 and they would be running a $7 billion deficit.
UCP government projects oil at $70 today for 2022/23 and they project a surplus.
Tough work holding the line on spending to get us here.

This is honestly so patronizing.
No energy worker in Alberta is sitting her crying out for eastern politicians to "pass a law" to transition their jobs.
Alberta's been attracting the largest investments in renewables in the country before this bill was even tabled.
Alberta, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland & Labrador’s energy workers will lead the energy transition.
That’s not just rhetoric.
That’ll soon be the law.
The Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act has been introduced in the House.

Conservatives, ignore polls for next few days. There will be good & bad. Remember, the NDP in Alberta are the best funded, best organized, most consolidated left wing vote in AB history.

This isn’t talked about enough. Look at that lead the NDP had and lost, and the UCP tick at the end. That’s a campaign failure.
Wildrose had some whoppers in my time, but the 2023 NDP campaign lost a significant polling advantage over the past several months.

I've been asked a lot lately about how we can improve discourse in Alberta politics.
I'd suggest starting with not doxxing political staff for simply doing their job. If you want less good people to sign up to work in government, this is how to do it.

I remember a lot of smug laughter about the ethical oil proposition regarding Canadian oil and gas for the past decade. Not so smug now.
Policies to shut down pipelines in North America have consequences.
In the 24 hours after Putin recognized two breakaway Ukrainian republics, the U.S. and its allies bought $700 million in Russian oil, gas and commodities.

Brad’s right. We’ll wait till annual numbers are posted, but I’m certain the NDP will shatter records on money spent in the past 12 months, threw everything they had and the kitchen sink at the UCP, and are now 0 and 2 since their 2015 win.
Don’t forget how much left wing money was lit on fire securing an L for the NDP this election. Don’t take conservative victories for granted. This was a big win.

Today's COVID briefing will be jarring to many. We are treating COVID at a public health level in B.C. like the flu or cold. If you are sick. Stay home. Most people can't get tested. If you are a close contact, you can live your life. You feel ok, live your life.

As someone who was involved with Wildrose from 2011 to unity, nearly every major policy reform Wildrose advanced while in opposition has now been accomplished with a balanced budget announced today. Something that may be lost in 2022, but worth reflecting on as conservatives.
