SNUBBED: Liberals withdraw invitation for Smith to speak at enviro committee

I wonder how much more prompting we need to remove ourselves from Canada. At the very least we need have major protests against this crippling carbon tax.

https://www.westernstandard.news/alberta/snubbed-liberals-withdraw-invitation-for-smith-to-speak-at-enviro-committee/article_4ac2a660-6942-11ee-8747-13d79aeabb59.html?utm_source=westernstandard.news&utm_campaign=%2Fnewsletter%2Foptimize%2Fdaily-headlines%2F%3F-dc%3D1697198422&utm_medium=email&utm_content=headline

That was the message Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said she received from the federal government after they dis-invited her from appearing before the House’s standing committee on environment and sustainable development next week.

Smith said she accepted an invitation on behalf of the Alberta government — it was actually postmarked to Energy Minister Brian Jean — and on Thursday she was informed that she wasn’t welcome.

“That was the fastest response we’ve ever received from the Feds — apparently they don’t want me to testify about electricity grid reliably or our pursuit of carbon neutrality by 2050 after all,” she Tweeted. “(I) wonder why?”

On Thursday the committee responded: the meeting had been cancelled. No snub intended.

The person they really wanted to talk to was Suncor CEO Rich Kruger — formerly of Imperial Oil — "to explain why his company is abandoning its climate targets that had been previously laid out in the face of a climate emergency."

“Mr. Kruger has declined to appear, which does not allow the Committee to move ahead as planned,” it said.

“Moreover, the motion — now moot — that was adopted inviting Mr. Kruger was very specific in terms of the individuals the Committee wished to receive: Rich Kruger and Alberta Ministers Brian Jean and Nathan Neudorf. Should the Committee wish to invite yourself or others in connection with the matter of the upcoming emissions cap on the oil and gas sector, a motion to that effect would need to be presented to the Committee and adopted by a majority of its members.”

It comes a day after Liberal Calgary Skyview MP George Chahal, who chairs the committee, held a press conference — The Western Standard wasn’t invited — branding the premier of spreading “baseless” and “ludicrous” falsehoods through the UCP’s $8-million ad campaign warning of higher electricity bills and freezing in the dark due to the federal draft electricity rules.

Chahal blamed the UCP government for increasing power rates by a factor of five times, and called on Smith to cancel both the ‘Tell the Feds’ campaign and the moratorium on renewable energy projects.

“Eight million dollars of Alberta taxpayers’ dollars are funding a campaign of misinformation. That’s a problem for me as a Calgarian and as an Albertan,” he said.

On Tuesday, Smith penned a note to the clerk of the committee informing them that she would be standing in for Jean and Nathan Neudorf, minister of affordability and utilities, given the “significance” of the issues.

“Alberta is committed to reducing emissions and meeting our climate targets. We know that there is a better path forward than the one being imposed by the federal government, one that is safe, reliable, and affordable and will lead to significant emissions reductions,” she wrote.

”Alberta’s position on the proposed federal electricity regulations remains unchanged: the regulations are unconstitutional, irresponsibly designed to eliminate (Alberta’s) primary feedstock… As currently written, these regulations will not be implemented in Alberta.”

A few days ago, I had a discussion with a widely respected western businessman, and good friend, about the current independence movement in Alberta and Saskatchewan. I was intrigued by his thoughts about how we might advance the goal of greater western autonomy at this time in our history.

We agreed that, despite the gallant efforts of many, for far too many years, the flame for fairness has been repeatedly ignored and snuffed out, again and again. The harsh reality is, if an insufficient number of westerners don’t take the issue of independence seriously, why should eastern Canadians?

Unsurprisingly my savvy friend raised a couple of points during our conversation that I have been gnawing on since. The first was nothing new, although for at least two reasons it has become more time sensitive.

First is the disastrous state of Canada and the fact that the federal Liberal government continues to chart a ...

Canada Can't Be Fixed. Alberta Needs to Chart Its Own Course
JEFFREY RATH:

Friends, I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it. Alberta’s future does not lie within a broken, dysfunctional Canada. It lies in our own hands, building an independent Alberta, run by Albertans, for Albertans.

I had the privilege of addressing a room full of hardworking, freedom-loving Albertans recently. If you missed it, I want you to hear exactly what I told them. The stakes couldn’t be higher, and the time for polite conversations is long gone.

The Truth They Don’t Want You to Hear

For over 100 years, Alberta has been treated like Ottawa’s colony. We’ve been stripped of wealth, muzzled by regulation, and told to sit quietly while Eastern politicians decide our fate. Meanwhile, our resources bankroll Quebec’s surpluses and our families pay the price with higher taxes, unemployment, and lost opportunities.

Ottawa’s latest trick? Universal Basic Income to create a nation of dependent voters. Lower the voting age ...
