Peace, Order, and Good Government?

Not Lately.

Pipeline dialogue moves to MOU

Rt. Hon Brushy Hand Dismisser decimates his Cabinet over oil, meh.

The Canadian Constitution opens with a modest promise: “Peace, Order, and good Government,” but after a decade of Liberal rule (first under Justin Trudeau, now under Mark Carney), that promise feels like a relic of the past, which wasn't all that long ago. 

So, we decided the future is solar

 It's solar or bust for the human race.

It's true, when the infrastructure falls into place, and you're at a latitude advantageous for production of solar electricity.

Equally, the invention of batteries, and the evolution of solar energy gathering technology, it may only take minutes a day in cloudy conditions to create the kind of power we use daily in our industrial and domestic lives.

The skinny on Oil Sands in Alberta

15 web pages produced by Grok in less time than it takes to make a cuppa tea.

I said, to Grok, "The oils sands of Alberta are projected to contain reserves of oil enough to serve demand for 200 years. Does this sound accurate?"

The claim that Alberta’s oil sands contain reserves sufficient to meet demand for 200 years requires careful scrutiny, as it depends on multiple variables including reserve estimates, extraction methods, global oil demand, and economic viability. Let’s break it down based on available data and critical analysis.

Is U.S. really after the Canadian treasure?

I don't believe the U.S. wants Canada, but in reality the GROK AI informs that since the 1970s, Canada has made a lot of progress in reducing Foreign Direct Investment. The U.S. may feel they have been shoved out of Canadian investment since the 1970s. They may be moving to return to Canadian investment. In no way do I believe Liberals are the ones to protect Canadian interests, but you have to give them credit where credit is due.

Are human beings entering an age of energy poverty?

The federal party leaders in Canada went to debate in French on Apr 16, in the first of two debates, one in French and another in English.

Melissa Mbarki (@MelissaMbarki) wrote on X: "Blanchet wants Canadians to wean off petroleum. He also doesn't support nuclear. What does he want to transition to?"

To paraphrase Melissa, who asks the most penetrating question, "What does Blanchet want this energy transition to be?"

I replied with the following discourse.
