Quick Dick McDick: How to smoke a meatloaf. And no, not the singer kind
In this spell-binding episode, Quick Dick McDick’s been snowed out, so he takes to the kitchen and smoker to make two flavours of meatloaf, made with Saskatchewan beef.
“Maybe your meatloaf wants to identify as an octagon? Find a container. Make it happen. Let your meatloaf be who it wants to be,” said Quick Dick.
Brian Crossman: The Future (Hint: it’s Saskatchewan)
The future is a pretty big place. Huge. Ginormous. (Is that a word?) So where does the energy industry fit in? How are we to adapt to a future that seems to be without a standard of living that we are used to? A future they tell us is supposedly without fossil fuels, coal, natural gas, gasoline, diesel and kerosene. (Those passenger planes love that kerosene to stay in the air) When I stop in at the local coffee shop (The Beefeater in Estevan to be precise) to solve all the world’s problems, these are topics that remain front and center. For obvious reasons, the energy industry is always in the mix, along with tax dollars (Mismanagement of said dollars) poor political decisions, coal vs nuclear, how the Estevan Bruins are doing, and that three-legged cat Mike seen on Third Street last week. There are plenty of issues to discuss and problems to solve. (“Who is going to stop Putin?” is popular, too.)

David Yager: Alberta petroleum, politics and prosperity – an historical perspective
The political success of Alberta premiers dating back 50 years has been closely linked to the oil and gas business and federal/provincial relations.
Premiers fortunate enough to be in office when the oilpatch and economy were booming were popular and won multiple elections. Challenging the federal government when its policies negatively affect Alberta has been a reliable vote-getter, especially when it involves resources.
Those who were in office when Alberta’s main industry was struggling, or were seen as cooperating with Ottawa when its policies negatively affected oil and gas, have not been treated as kindly.

Environmental groups call on feds to not ‘water down’ oil and gas emissions cap
As environmental groups urge the federal government to move quickly with an aggressive cap on emissions from the country’s oil and gas sector, the industry itself says such a move could actually slow down the sector’s own decarbonization efforts.
With world leaders preparing to head to Egypt next month for the 27th United Nations climate conference, environmentalists say now is the time for the Trudeau government to announce the specific targets it plans to impose on the oil and gas sector in order to ensure Canada meets its climate commitments.

Canada will meet its emissions targets, this time
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday he will guarantee that Canada is going to meet its latest climate target, because this time it’s accompanied by a plan that shows how to get there.
Since 1988, Canada has set its sights on eight different greenhouse gas emissions targets. Six of them have come and gone, and Canada never came anywhere close to meeting them.
The next target is set for 2030, and requires Canada to get emissions to 55 to 60 per cent of what they were in 2005. That’s a more-ambitious version of a previous target the Trudeau government set when it came into power.
Prairie Lithium converts exploration permits to lithium leases, working on delineating resource in SE Sask
EMERALD PARK – When you’re first exploring for minerals in Saskatchewan, you take out an exploration permit on the lands you’re looking at. And when you’re serious about doing something with those lands, you convert those lands into leases. This is typically done by drilling a well.
But before you get into a major, multi-well drilling program, it’s important to delineate your resource, figuring out just how far out your resource extends. Is it a one-well wonder, or prolific?
These are all things Prairie Lithium Corporation is doing right now in the Torquay area, seeking to develop lithium from brines deep in Saskatchewan’s sedimentary geology.
Some risks too big: Insurers withdraw from fossil projects
BERLIN (AP) — Insurance companies that have long said they’ll cover anything, at the right price, are increasingly ruling out fossil fuel projects because of climate change — to cheers from environmental campaigners.

Facing tough midterms, Biden releasing oil from US reserve
WASHINGTON (AP) — High gasoline prices are the problem that President Joe Biden keeps trying to fix — and roughly a year’s worth of extraordinary efforts have done little to significantly lower costs.
Jim Warren: If capital is short for oil and gas investment, maybe its time to revisit a provincial sovereign wealth fund
We are currently looking forward to a $500 good-times resource dividend. This suggests our provincial government is capable of generating a significant pool of money that could be invested in fossil fuel development and potentially make us even more money. There is nothing new about the idea. The heritage fund schemes developed in the 1970s were intended to support economic development and diversification initiatives as well as serve as rainy day funds.
