Brian Zinchuk: Canada’s promise to provide Europe with an additional 300,000 barrels of oil per day wasn’t worth a bucket of warm spit
A March 24 story on CTV quoted federal Minister of Natural Resources Jonathan Wilkson, who said, “This is a crisis.”
“These folks in Europe are looking at the prospects potentially of not having fuel for the trucks that provide groceries for people to survive on or potentially not having adequate supplies of gas to heat their homes,” Wilkinson said.
Now, nearly six months after that, has the federal government done anything – anything at all – to move on that promise to Europe?
No. Not a damned thing.

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.
Brian Zinchuk: On Aug. 17 Alberta’s now 28 wind farms combined were putting out less power than Boundary Dam Unit 3 with carbon capture
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.
