“It just seems to be quite disconnected from the reality on the ground in Alberta,” Williams said. “Since it isn’t connected to what’s actually happening in Alberta, one has to ask whether this is good policymaking or frankly, even good politics.”
The pause on renewables has done considerable harm to Alberta’s reputation, she added, and there are still a lot of questions that need to be answered about why the government made its decision and for whose benefit.
This story, and an earlier post, had said the Alberta government “lied” about the reason for the pause. This has been clarified to indicate we obtained documents suggesting it made false statements about the reason for the pause, but cannot make conclusions about motivations.
@thenarwhal It is time for the Government of Canada to consider repealing the Alberta Act 1905, reverting Alberta to the status of a Territory of Canada governed by the federal government. If there is much more provocation by Scott Moe, the government might also consider repealing the Saskatchewan Act of 1905 with the same effect.
