No conservative Premier of Alberta has successfully completed a 4-year term since Ralph Klein in 2006.
Danielle Smith tried to sell her federal-Alberta energy deal to the UCP convention crowd: tepid applause.
She told them that this proved Canada can work well for Alberta’s interests: loud boos.
This ain’t a base that wants Smith to work with a Liberal PM on a better industrial carbon tax.

Lots of people on the internet expressing sympathy for Steven Guilbeault, but as environment minister, I watched his department delay and delay and delay any meaningful action on climate, while also permitting further harm to species at risk like woodland caribou. I hope he feels like shit. #CDNPOli

1/ Mark Carney has betrayed all of us by making a pipeline pact with Danielle Smith. A real nation-building project would expand the renewable energy of the future while creating thousands of jobs - powerlines not pipelines.

I thought Nenshi was supposed to the leader of Alberta's official "opposition," but it seems he's equally as happy as both Smith and Carney to put the profits of oil and gas companies ahead of the public interest. What a joke. #ABLeg #ABPoli #CDNPoli
The new Canada-Alberta MOU is a positive step for our energy future.
Meaningful investments in Pathways, clear measures to reduce emissions, and a stronger industrial carbon price give Albertans the certainty we need to move forward. /1

This is just further evidence that ALL of Canada's major political parties are right-wing parties. Corporations first, people last.
This whole MOU is based on lies. There's no such thing as "low emission" bitumen. CCUS does NOT work. Indigenous co-ownership IS NOT reconciliation. Doubling down on fossil fuels & AI data centres will NOT "lower costs." Both govts are putting corporations before the public interest. #CDNPoli #ABLeg

Gov statement (not the MOU itself) says the deal will "lower emissions." Almost certainly false when the #1 stated objective of the MOU is "increasing production of Alberta oil and gas." Emissions intensity ≠ total emissions. It's well-worn sleight of hand.
