Brian Zinchuk: After braying about oil and gas classes, there was nary a peep when tourism and automotive got similar classes
When an Oil and Gas 20 and 30 class was announced in June, there was much braying from the media about the horrors of indoctrinating kids. But at the beginning of the school year, similar classes were announced for tourism, automotive and autobody.

Jim Warren: Could maximizing Canadian oil production and exports over the medium-term help reduce CO2 emissions for the long-term?

The grid frequency has had numerous variances, including “due to sudden variability of renewables.” Is the Alberta grid pushing the limits of how much wind and solar it can take?
Brian Zinchuk: Did the mainstream media even know they were in Lloydminster?
One would think the mainstream which travelled something like three hours to attend a press conference at an oil show, in Lloydminster, might just ask questions that might be relevant to a.) the energy industry, b.) Lloydminster or c.) all the above.
You would think.
And you would be wrong.
