26 Alberta counties have been collecting tax $ from renewables and there is the potential for much more across the province.
And yet Smith has forced the entire to province to funnel their electricity $ into a few natural gas companies.

"But the only way this creeping abuse of the Notwithstanding Clause really ends is in the court of public opinion, and with a clear and unambiguous rebuke of a government that’s trying to weaponize it." @maxfawcett.bsky.social @nationalobserver.com

The use of the Notwithstanding Clause is out of control. It’s up to voters to stop it
The architects of Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms thought the Notwithstanding Clause would only be used in exceptional circumstances. Conservative premiers seem determined to prove them wrong.

Hubble Monitors Supernova In Nearby Galaxy M82 - From Goddard Space Flight Center - https://flic.kr/p/kuQfuD
This is a Hubble Space Telescope composite image of a supernova explosion designated SN 2014J in the galaxy M82. At a distance of approximately 11.5 million light-years from Earth it is the closest supernova of its type discovered in the past few decades. The explosion is categorized as a Type Ia supernova, which is theorized to be triggered in binary systems consisting of a white dwarf and another star — which could be a second white dwarf, a star like our sun, or a giant star. Astronomers using a ground-based telescope discovered the explosion on January 21, 2014. This Hubble photograph was taken on January 31, as the supernova approached its peak brightness. The Hubble data are expected to help astronomers refine distance measurements to Type Ia supernovae. In addition, the observations could yield insights into what kind of stars were involved in the explosion. Hubble’s ultraviolet-light sensitivity will allow astronomers to probe the environment around the site of the supernova explosion and in the interstellar medium of the host galaxy. Because of their consistent peak brightness, Type Ia supernovae are among the best tools to measure distances in the universe. They were fundamental to the 1998 discovery of the mysterious acceleration of the expanding universe. A hypothesized repulsive force, called dark energy, is thought to cause the acceleration. Among the other major NASA space-based observatories used in the M82 viewing campaign are Spitzer Space Telescope, C...

Any 🇨🇦 elected official who doesn’t support our public healthcare system should lose their job. The focus should be on expanding & improving services by training & hiring more healthcare workers, increasing access to primary & mental healthcare, & investing in public health infrastructure.

If you are having trouble coping with negative feelings and stress, you are not alone. The 9-8-8: Suicide Crisis Helpline is available to call or text anytime, anywhere in Canada, if you or someone you know needs a safe space to discuss thoughts of suicide.
Message from the Minister of Health on International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day
Each life lost by suicide sends shockwaves through families, friends and communities. The effects on survivors can be profound, and the emotional impacts can linger for years.
