This is an example of using snippets of science to feel better about what you’re doing, while rejecting the overwhelming body of evidence.

My reactions and concerns when I read the first couple of paragraphs were echoed word-for-word by Mr. Meintzer later in the article.

Hmm. New, innovative green projects -- no doubt she means small nuclear generators, which certainly produce greener energy than burning fossil fuels -- except for the little matters of nuclear waste, security risk and whatever health risks are inherent in uranium mining, which is still a finite resource. I don’t know enough about it to judge. Is this intended to replace less green energy projects, or lure in those massive energy glutton data farms?
"There is no excuse and no reason for Canada to be as catastrophically vulnerable to the decisions of the President of the United States, or frankly any other country.” Ms. Stubbs, I agree. So why don’t you push for us to develop refinery capacity here, rather than depending on uncertain foreign markets?

Locum nurses in Alberta cheaper than the alternative

Locum nurses in Alberta cheaper than the alternative

Barb H. commented

“[Locum] nurses are paid significantly more than the permanent staff … According to AHS, they are still a cheaper alternative to contract nurses from private staffing agencies, which are billed at an average of $120 - $150 per hour.”
Comparing public locum nurses to private ones should be irrelevant. Even with their best efforts, their performance, compared to a permanent team member, couldn’t be superior.

Do you feel more proud to be Canadian than you were before the tariff threats?

I’m one of the already-proud no’s. However, the way people are coming together for Canada warms my heart.

Chinese tariffs will have 'devastating impact': Ag Minister Sigurdson

These tariffs will be paid for by the Chinese people, right? The danger is in pressure by importers on Canadian farmers to eat the difference, so that our farm products remain “competitive". But who are we competing with? What other country is waiting in the wings, ready with unsold canola and other commodities, of an equivalent quality and quantity as all of Canada? I say, call their bluff. Am I being naive?

I respect everybody’s choice, often based on a significantly different circumstance. I ask you to remember that you’re voting FOR someone, not AGAINST them.
