Premier Smith is gambling with the lives and well-being of Albertan’s with the Carney/Brookfield Pathways MOU:“Clearly, neither the physical feasibility nor the environmental, health, and safety ramifications of the Pathways project are well understood.
…what about the environmental, health, and safety effects?
In my latest study published this year, we surveyed the literature and found that carbon capture, utilization, and storage at scale may pose significant threats, including stimulating increased seismic activity around carbon injection and storage sites,
…groundwater and surface water contamination risks,
…soil contamination risks,
…and even potential leakage of carbon dioxide
…at concentrations hazardous to animal or human health.
The most prominent risk is increased seismic activity.
At one CO₂ storage project in central Algeria, for example, thousands of small seismic events were recorded, with their occurrence closely following changes in CO₂ injection rates. Similar behaviour was observed at the Hontomín pilot site in Spain, where small seismic events occurred during periods of higher injection pressure and longer injection tests.”

Madam Premier,
I've seen your recent comments regarding the discrepancy between you (being PRO Q1-9) and Carney (being ANTI Q1-9). Here is the link to your X post: https://x.com/abdaniellesmith/status/2110857990622642555
It is ironic and unfortunate that the very thing you are working for is the very thing that Carney is working against. Regardless whether Q1-9 results in a majority mandate for you - it would seem that Carney has already provided his answer on how successful your future efforts will be. (And on another front, he's already moving the pipeline goal post or as the spin goes "won't make the first deadline"!)
It is troubling that you consistently and constantly refer to all Canada's woes as being the result of Justin Trudeau when in fact Carney was Trudeau's advisor for 5 years. You said "how damaging the open-border policies of his [Carney's] predecessor were" - you want to blame Trudeau for our immigration woes, but I think you need ...

Alberta will never be the same on the morning of October 20th. Try as DS might there is No putting the Independent Alberta Genie back in the bottle.
“CALGARY — Premier Danielle Smith declined to say whether independence supporters will be forced out of the United Conservative Party (UCP) if Albertans vote to remain in Canada in Monday’s referendum, despite acknowledging that loyalty to a united Canada was among the party’s founding principles.
Speaking to reporters Friday at the Canada Strong and Free Network’s annual conference in Calgary, the premier was repeatedly pressed on whether UCP supporters who back independence would remain welcome in the party, following former premier Jason Kenney’s recent comments that they should be expelled.
Smith suggested that some Albertans who recently embraced the independence movement could reconsider their position following the October 19 vote....
