Good Morning @AdrianaLaGrange and @neudorf_ab, in the month of April did you bypass the process for converting schools from public to charter in Edmonton and Calgary? 1/ @CBCNews @CTVNews @TheBreakdownAB @GlobalEdmonton @edmontonjournal @GlobalCalgary
Was St. Patrick's School in Edmonton converted from a public school to a charter school in the month of April 2023 without analysis & review, without accommodation planning, and without anyone in the Department of Infrastructure's approval aside from @neudorf_ab? 2/
Was a $78 million #Alberta taxpayer decision made without public engagement or Department of Infrastructure review and approval processes? And finally, was this completed in April to ensure the decision is final regardless of the outcome on May 29, 2023? /end
I skipped this news organization because they did not even mention my run in Calgary - North West. If #YycNw goes blue this month, you can thank the Herald for not doing their job and informing the "Never Notley's" that there is another choice. calgaryherald.com/news/politics/…

In support of @TheRealDKGray's Alberta electricity market issue, here's what I've learned from Sheldon Fulton (an energy market consultant living in Calgary who has had an active role in the evolution of Alberta’s power market since 1996). 🧵1/
Remember: the UCP “Alberta Affordability Action Plan” included a price cap and deferral for individual homes on the variable regulated rate (RRO) option in cents/kWh. If you’re on a fixed contract, this program has not impacted you. 2/
Note: the green line is the price cap of 13.5 cents. Anything not paid above that is being deferred.
The Jan to March capped period of ~$200 million is being recovered as an energy surcharge of 2.5 cents/kWh for the next 21 months.

The AAA Plan is a “buy now, pay later” deal.3/ As part of Alberta's Afford...

In November 2019, the @Alberta_UCP canceled the Alberta Provincial Rapattack program without any consultation with the program coordinator or its senior members. My husband, @CYeremiy worked for Rapattack from 1994-2003. 1/
On Nov 5, Chris issued an email to the Agriculture and Forestry Minister, @DevinDVote explaining his concerns about the cancellation of the program. And forwarded the email to @demetriosnAB, @jkenney, and @shoffmanAB. Both @demetriosnAB and @shoffmanAB responded. 2/
On Nov 7, @CYeremiy joined @shoffmanAB and current members of the Rapattack program to speak in defense of it. Please note: the @albertaNDP acted and supported this program to the best of their ability when they needed to. 2 days after letters were issued.

This is a great article, supportive of it.

What's missing though is the coordinated effort across industries requires an analysis of the impact on air, water, land, life and the resources required (life-cycle). 1/ #AbLeg #AbPoli calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…
In other words economics across industries. We need to aim to sustain our resources and a net profitable position. The gov and regulator have important roles to layout the goals and regulations, respectively. 2/
Where does it make sense to invest in each available energy source based on their viability and availability at a provincial and worldwide scale. 3/

From January to October of 2022, the @AER_news and @AlbertaEnviron1 carried out a review of the Mine Financial Security Program (MFSP). MFSP is the AER tool used to collect security in order to cover oilsands mine liabilities. 1/
alberta.ca/assets/documen… January 13, 2022 Kick-off M...
The 2022 review stems from a 2015 Office of the Auditor General’s (OAG) report on the MFSP, concluding: improvements to “the design and operation of the MFSP… are needed to both how security is calculated and how security amounts are monitored.”2/ oag.ab.ca/wp-content/upl… Environment and Parks and t...
The AER holds under $1 billion (smaller than in 2018?) in security on a total estimated $130 billion dollar liability. The image below, from a 2018 AER presentation, suggests the MFSP calculation ONLY uses an estimate of $27.8 billion of liabilities. 3/ The $260 billion dollar est...

Speaking in opposition to the UCP proposal to give incentives to oil and gas companies that would allow them to avoid their legal obligation to pay for their own cleanup costs. We can’t let corporations off the $260+ billion hook! #ChooseAlbertansNotRStar #ABPoli #ABLeg
The “precedent setting” Bistcho Lake and Cold Lake Sub-Regional Plans offer an ALL INCLUSIVE approach to land management in Alberta. It aims for transparency and collaboration between stakeholders and industries to restore Alberta while continuing to develop. 2/
