I ceaselessly have blood paintings executed at our public labs. I’ve skilled the transitions from Calgary Labs to Precision Labs to Dynalife and now again to Precision Labs. I by no means understood the cause of those adjustments by means of the federal government and, as is customary in Alberta, there is not any data equipped in order that Albertans perceive the reason. What we did get was once political rhetoric about efficiencies which became out to be false.

Albertans deserve duty from the federal government. How a lot taxpayers’ greenbacks have been spent to fund those transitions? What analysis was once executed to confirm the want to alternate labs and the way was once Dynalife made up our minds to be your best option? Was once there a bidding procedure for who supplies lab services and products in Alberta? What have been the particular efficiency expectancies confronted by means of Dynalife? Who within the executive was once chargeable for tracking efficiency?

My bet is that Albertans won’t ever obtain an accounting from the federal government or any long term executive concerning the lab fiasco. It’s no longer the Alberta method to have transparency about how our tax greenbacks are used or how politicians carry out their duties.

That is simply how as of late’s politicians find it irresistible! They paintings or scheme for themselves / re-election and rely on coast-to-coast taxpayers’ cash, the vast majority of which is misspent. Sadly, Canadians, on the whole, are complaisant.

If the Conservatives underneath Pierre Poilievre won energy would they do the similar because the Liberals?

No infrastructure for electrical automobiles

If ever there was once an instance of the cart main the pony, unfortunately, it may be exemplified within the plight of the ones with EVs making an attempt to escape the wildfires within the N.W.T.

A significant co-ordinated federal/provincial infrastructure fund should be established presently to fulfill the briefly accelerating call for for EVs.

All of the federal price range for battery vegetation, battery recycling amenities, and EV production vegetation, don’t take enough account of the huge national infrastructure (energy technology, charging stations, house carrier panel and many others. and many others.) upgrades required to enhance them, and displays the short-sightedness of making plans for our inevitable long term.

Federal/provincial subsidies can be required instantly for the repurposing of downstream O&G amenities, for the large enlargement of energy technology to enhance the inevitable build up required in MW quite a bit to the grid, in addition to for upgrades required for householders and landlords to fulfill the brand new 220 V carrier panel necessities for environment friendly charging.

All of those will have to have taken precedence over the manufacturing of the tip merchandise. We are living, “then” be informed!
