The problem with no one getting paid is no one is getting paid

About a month ago I did some serious digging into Alberta’s electrical grid going into zero dollar hours for pricing. As in all the power on the grid, for the generators anyway, was free, for a few hours. I thought I had published it, but apparently not, as I was reminded by @ReliableAB. And funny thing is, it happened again this past weekend.

The problem with no one getting paid is no one is getting paid. No business model is sustainable like that. I don’t care about averaging things out. No one wants to give away product for free, especially if they are paying for inputs like natural gas for fuel and staffing.

Alberta had free power for more than a day in August, and seven hours last weekend – how does that happen?

And on the renewable thing:

Manitoba to encourage renewable energy while acknowledging fossil fuel use

Wind and hydro actually pair very well together, as hydro can ramp up and down very quickly. Building wind in Manitoba will allow them to build up their reservoirs and maintain more capacity overall, especially in low water conditions like the prairies have seen in recent years. So, believe it or not, I’m not wholly against that idea, for Manitoba, at least. I’m surprised they haven’t built more until now.

Also, this was from the Canadian Press. Take that for what you will.

Our Chinese-Installed Government In Ottawa

Basic Dictatorship Chinada 11 Comments

Sam Cooper;

In an examination of officials from Canada’s two major political parties today, the Hogue Commission is probing the alarming weaknesses in Canada’s election system, where non-citizens living in Canada but working for hostile states are exploiting loopholes in political party nomination processes and even leadership contests, and where parties apparently give no guidance to their MPs on hiring staff or interacting with foreign diplomats, according to intelligence reports and testimony.

China’s election interference networks, led by Beijing’s United Front and intelligence agents, establish collusion between Chinese Consulate officials, political candidates and their staff, and community leaders to clandestinely support politicians sympathetic to the Chinese Communist Party. Previous intelligence reporting obtained by The Bureau from confidential sources identified these activities and revealed a broader manipulation of Canada’s political party nomination processes.

The Bureau’s exclusive reporting was confirmed by documents tabled Friday, which underscore a critical vulnerability: Canada’s political party nomination processes are not regulated by federal or provincial election laws. As a result, foreign agents are able to manipulate these processes with relative ease. Unlike formal elections, where some rules and oversight exist, party nomination processes rely on internal regulations that can be exploited by hostile states and their proxies.

Geoffrey Moyse- British Columbia could disappear under a sea of Aboriginal title

Below is the sixth of several outstanding opinion pieces about indigenous land claim issues in British Columbia that will be posted without a paywall over the next few weeks.

All are written by Geoffrey S. Moyse, K.C., a retired senior lawyer who served as legal counsel to the Province of B.C., advising six successive governments on aboriginal law matters over more than 30 years.

His writings rebut the current NDP provincial government’s indigenous land ownership and use policies.

Rigs, pipelines, lost opportunity and some hardware

The hollowing out of Canada’s industrial base continues. A few people said there’s been some new rigs built, but I’ve been told by the industry association those were retrofits.

Are more drilling rigs going to be decommissioned? And have we forgotten how to build new ones?

Canada really has two significant competitors when it comes to providing heavy oil to the US Gulf Coast refinery complex – Venezuela and Mexico. Venezuela’s been driving its self off a cliff in its socialist paradise. And it looks like Mexico’s exports are likely going to collapse, too, according to Peter Zeihan. Gee, if only Keystone XL had been built to supply our heavy oil to their refineries built for that product…

And, well, I guess I’ll include this, too. Vi Day is very important. The other guy wasn’t sure why he was included, but was honoured to be.

Sun- Students attending protest told to ‘wear blue’ to mark them as ‘colonizers’

Mona, the cousin of one of students compelled to take part, told the Toronto Sun the Grade 8 student was instructed to wear a blue shirt to identify her as a “colonizer.”

“She was very upset,” Mona said of her cousin, who is Jewish and approached her teacher at the rally to express her discomfort once the anti-Israel chants began.

“The teacher told her, ‘You’ll get over it.’”
