Carrie Tait is amazing. I remember when Danielle Smith was in one of her press conferences, and mentioning about the Local Access Fee removal for Calgary power bills, which would save Calgary households around $13.75 per month, which amounts to $165 per year. Calgary city council was already looking into rectifying this, but Danielle Smith wanted this done no later than 2025. Carrie Tait then asked Danielle Smith how this differs from the personal tax cuts that she promised would happen if the UCP were re-elected in 2023. Danielle Smith then said that the UCP's personal tax cuts, which would save individual Albertans around $750 per year, and save a family of 4 around $1,500 per year, wouldn't happen until 2026, for the first installment, with the second installment happening in 2027. The look on UCP cabinet minister, Nathan Neudorf was priceless. Carrie Tait exposed Danielle Smith's dishonesty and her hypocrisy. Ralph Klein's deregulation of electricity, TransAlta manipulating power prices in Alberta, and economic witholding from the UCP are the reasons why Albertans pay the highest power prices in Canada. Danielle Smith is great at deceiving people.
Alberta has an infrastructure debt that is now nearly $30 billion, or even more, that Ralph Klein caused in the early 1990s, due to his fiscal ineptitude, and doing very costly debacles. The UCP haven't properly dealt with this either, because they also have made cuts to municipalities in Alberta, because the UCP have done well over $80 billion in very costly debacles and mistakes. This is going to take a long time to fix.
I'm sure for Edmntn fans there is very little consolation in the simple fact that; although you did not win the Stanley Cup - there was immense unity across the country. I had to drive from Richmond to West Van to catch a ferry during the game; the roads were abandoned in downtown Vancouver. You made the entire country proud E Town.
Johnny and Jespo, you guys have knocked it out of the park these last couple months. Burnin the wick at both ends, inviting us to share in your struggles and joy. Amazing interviews. I hope you guys get some time to be good to you in this upcoming break. Take care. One Love. - NoobTryAgain
Thanks NoobTryAgain! That means a lot. Amazing to see you at the Real Talk Golf Classic (and thank you for such a meaningful gift). We appreciate you! -rpj
@@RealTalkRJThe Real Talk Golf Classic was an epic event! It's for such a great cause, the stories the recipients shared were so impactful, grateful to have met and heard from them. Had me in tears, they are all incredible people. I felt so fortunate to be a part of such a meaningful event. Thank you. See you at the next ones!
@@squatch545 it would only be a deflection if I were responding to a question you asked. You clearly don’t know the definition of a verbal deflection. Kinda like you don’t know what a fascist is. lol We have one thing in common though, we were rooting for the oilers. Even the oilers can do a better job a uniting our country than Trudeau can.
A Canadian non-hockey fan. I’m happy for the Panthers. It’s their first win. That should be celebrated. There’s no place for jingoism. Edmonton is a local team, unlike Canada’s Olympic team, which is national. Besides, Canadians play for the Panthers.
@Mathew-xr7kt Yes and yes! ...doesn't stop the Oil Sands from leaking, or a 2050 transition policy that's out of touch with the crisis we're suffering; Smith advocating for an Australian coal mine, fracking, and O&G's loose standards in advertising. Brought to you by the pathway alliance, selling carbon capture that doesn't yet exist so we can avoid better standards for 25 years. Never forget that Exxon, BP etc., knew about climate change by the 60s and buried & spun it for over a lifetime. No trust. History didn't stop just because we're "better" now. Having a high standard relevant to a weak profiteering pool isn't enough. We have to do better than pausing alternative energy investments for the better part of a year with no goal, so deal to show for it. Or showing up to COP to network O&G. Maybe a decent standard would be to crack down on "economic withholding", a policy Smith used to push.
@Mathew-xr7kt Alberta doesn't have the strictest environmental standards. In the early 1990s, Ralph Klein failed to properly come after oil companies in Alberta to remediate their messes, leaving Albertans with a mammoth bill of $260 billion to deal with this. The UCP are blowing $20 billion on the R-Star debacle. First Nations communities are suing the UCP and the AER for their negligence with the tailings pond leaks in northern Alberta. Coincidentally, the head of the AER is stepping down this year. The UCP are pursuing open pit coal mining in the Rockies of Alberta , even though most Albertans oppose it. The UCP were trying to rescind Peter Lougheed's 1976 Coal Policy, during a May long weekend, around 3 years ago. The UCP were lobbying for open pit coal mining in the Rockies of Alberta, 7 months before they informed Albertans. The courts forced the UCP to release the documents on the open pit coal mining. There are no strict environmental standards there at all.
@@dwaynewladyka577 forget the past. We’re talking about now. The pond leaks were never reported by the oil companies, had nothing to do with government policy. Having an open pit coal mine also has nothing to do with environmental policy. We can have a mine and still have great environmental policies around it. Alberta is the only province that put forth environmental policies for green energy. They’ve learned from the orphan well debacle and are trying hard to not have a repetition in the future. I work in the oil sands and environment Canada monitors the near by rivers very stringently. If we even spill oil while filling our trucks up or have a fluid leak there’s an investigation. No other place in the world holds that high of an environmental standard in the work place.

I did some crying in the shower this morning after the Oilers loss last night.
You cried because side of the Toronto liberal by-election loss…lol I like finding you in other comment sections squatch.
@@Mathew-xr7kt Nice deflection. I was talking about the Oilers.

@@Mathew-xr7kt No dipshit. It's a deflection, because you willfully referred to something other than what I meant.
@@Mathew-xr7kt That's not the only way to deflect. You responded to my comment by deflecting to something I wasn't referring to.

Sure...it's not the *worst* seeing the Panthers win...I have Barkov, Tkachuk, and Tarasenko in my fantasy pool. ;) -rpj
🍻 Stampede profits over public and environmental safety.
Alberta is one of the safest provinces. We also have the strictest environmental standards
