"Public Order Emergency Commission of Inquiry into the circumstances that led to the declaration of emergency that was in place from February 14–23, 2022, and the measures taken for dealing with the emergency."
"The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms also appeared, in the persons of Keith Wilson and Eva Chipiuk who were hired to represent upwards of two dozen Freedom Convoy participants, including Tamara Lich." ...en.wikipedia.org/.../Public_Ord…
This is a voice from the radical right in Canada who has hit the wall and no longer likes what she sees of the people who hired her.

Saskatchewan produces 10% of the world's high quality sodium. The upshot of this technological development is that creating a bi-directional electrical grid that accommodates distributed electricity production is entirely feasible.
The transition to EVs is immanent. The Chinese company BYD sells their base model in China for the equivalent of $9,000 US. Admittedly, that low price is only possible with significant government subsidy,
Says Google AI: "In 2021, 53.3% of Canada's population identified as Christian, according to the census. This represents a decrease from 67.3% in 2011 and 77.1% in 2001, according to Statistics Canada."
I grew up in a Christian household, but Christianity does not dominate my world view. Its ethical teachings remain indelible though. The most compelling parable of my childhood was the Good Samaritan.
We can all subsist on such teachings, but in my studies of comparative religions, this is not exclusive to Christianity.
The Alberta government is being criticized for tardiness in fighting the Jasper fires. A public inquiry would be a learning experience. The Boreal won't stop burning...not by expanding oil & gas production....not without carbon restrictions.
Supply side management of an economy is coercive and does not necessarily yield the best results. The fastest route to climate redemption is to diminish the market for oil by promoting cheap EVs and letting the substitution effect crush the market for gas burning ICE vehicles.
This means dealing with the Chinese who now engineer the best EVs. The base model BYD sells for $9,000 US but even their president acknowledges that these prices are not sustainable without subsidies. Imagine BYD setting up manufacturing in Canada with a deal on aluminum.

Says Google AI: "Recent data indicates that the tropical Pacific has warmed up, ending the recent La Niña event. This has transitioned the region into a neutral state according to Climate Prediction Center." La Niña brings a surplus of precipitation to the plains of the northern
...hemisphere, and indeed its appearance last year saved a number of Saskatchewan farmers from bankruptcy. We've had lots of the expected rain in Saskatoon this summer, but wildfires have gotten worse nonetheless. Soon we will be into the drought ridden El Niño cycle. What then?
Global warming is overwhelming the effects of the ENSO weather cycles and the Boreal is burning. How long will it be before Saskatoon becomes unlivable? We've had over 40 years to consider the consequences of anthropogenic climate change, but have not taken responsibility.
"The NYT included the illustrative figure below, which draws simple ordinary least squares trends over three time periods: 1880-1970, 1970-2010, and 2010-present (May 2025).
It appears to show a notable acceleration over the past 15 years compared to the rate of warming that characterized the post-1970 “modern warm period” when climate change began to notably take off (with) human emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases." open.substack.com/pub/theclimate…
The brief interlude of La Niña last summer brought more rain to the plains which is typical, and certainly here in Saskatoon we've seen enough rain this summer, but we know how quickly a blistering sun can dry things out, and a return to droughts of El Niño could be disastrous.
