He should have been less heavy handed and more respectful to the person asking the question.

I mean, I would go A LOT further than saying he should have been more respectful. He was about as disrepectful as it gets. And less heavy handed? He didn't need to be heavy handed at all.

For the second time in about a month (the book banning being the first) this is making national and international news. This government is a true embarrassment.

And then Alberta cities get criticism from some for not working well with the province? I think this experience says it all.

So no real industry buy in and we will spend more money on something that doesn't get built. And when this fails to move along Dani can blame the feds. Just in time for the next election.

By starting a ton of capital projects but not really starting anything, they can hobble the next government with deficits or win votes because people want a YYC-YEG railway.

BC to apply to Major Projects Office for new Caribou Green Belt Corridor to northern Saskatchewan​

No route yet determined for proposal province says it must lead as Caribou currently cannot. Premier Eby promises to consult with northern Alberta First Nations and conservation groups, has not talked to Alberta Premier.​

Makes as much sense.

Alberta is so weird. We scream about wanting Provincial Autonomy and then beg the federal government to override other provinces'.

Oh there seems to be few limits to how disrespectful they can be. Well for the UCP it is always someone else's fault - the city mayors for dwelling on issues the province would like to ignore, teachers for wanting to try catch up to inflation, the former AHS CEO for questioning their private health contracts ... It seems all these problems have only one common denominator - them!

I wonder if a project like this is an opportunity for a consortium (think of like government plus those on the technical advisory team) to all have a stake in the game similar to how the transit projects are run or like Alto (High speed rail) out east. Would that reduce risk enough for private investment?

So basically Smith wants approval for what at this point is an imaginary pipeline.

 

[David A]

Was the imaginary pipeline just a ruse to help her accomplish her real objective?

Smith says Alberta will look to send more oil to U.S. if Carney fails to put pipeline on nation-building list

Smith says she will have to intensify her efforts to build north to south if Carney fails to include her new pipeline pitch on his list.

You can't "look to send more" oil. It's an inelastic good, and the price sensitivity only affects suppliers - not buyers.

What could be the plan here, to sell the oil at a loss and hope the U.S amends their policy?

Also, the Trans Mountain pipeline currently still has extra capacity and will for at least the next several years, actually well past the end of Smith's current term as Premier.

She sure still does know how to gaslight though.

We deal with some Trans Mountain guys here at work.

Last I talked to them they were full bore and apparently adding some more points along the way for their oil production.

(Sorry. I don't what they call the stop along the pipeline...stations I guess? )

Must be where they're diverting some of the product into hyperloop containers so they can get it to the coast faster....

Probably mean extra pumping stations to increase flow.
