Brian Crossman: Meeting the future prime minister of Canada, maybe…

The current administration is, as we say in the oilpatch, “shitting the bed.” And not just for Western Canada, but the whole damn country. (Prove me wrong) It is time for a change. I’m pretty sure ya’ll out here in the energy industry will agree with me on this. So, if the media will show some integrity (not likely) and the voters in Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia will give him a chance, maybe we can make Canada just a little bit better.

You would think if they just keep building more wind farms, as both Alberta and now Saskatchewan are doing, they should be spread out enough that if it’s not windy one place, there would be power coming from another.

And you would be wrong.

Sure, that might happen on an average day. But several times this year, as I’ve reported, it’s not windy in all the places Alberta has placed its 28 wind farms. And remember, wind farms are only positioned in places where the wind is expected to blow consistently. It turns out Alberta’s wind is consistently inconsistent.

Ian Madsen: Lessening Saskatchewan’s Reliance on Commodity Bonanzas

The Saskatchewan government should take a leaf from resource-dominated states south of the border and proactively enact legislation that compels government agencies to not do business with financial firms or other corporate entities that discriminate against firms engaged in lawful activity in energy, mining, forestry, agriculture and related sectors, under the guise of a pernicious form of green social credit scoring called ‘ESG’: Environmental, Social and Governance standards created by outside, often anti-business and anti-growth interest groups.
