Comment on Ed Whittingham a champion of the new oil patch, not an ‘enemy’ of Alberta’s energy industry by JON DILLON BICHON

It’s too bad that Ed has stated several times in publishments on his own Pembina Institute website which he has directed that he is against pipelines in Alberta despite him agreeing to back off the industry after the emissions cap was agreed upon during his sting between 2011 and 2017.

What kind of spin is this? That he’s a champion of the oil patch? Haha dude. Please.

How do you explain 96 charities that have environment front and center incorporated in Vancouver? Many of them used the same lawyer to set them up. Just wondering

Why is Alberta not burning the oil, gas, tarsands, and producing electricity, whicj requires no pipeline to sell?

The NEB decision is an insult to the intelligence of the British Columbian people.

Comment on $4.5 billion Alberta petrochemicals complex gets final investment decision from Pembina Pipeline, Kuwait petrochemical firm by George Clark

Ummm, shouldn’t Pembina be thanking the taxpaying citizens of Alberta rather than the GoA?

It’s this type of disconnect that enables special interest control of gov’t spending.

Any subsidy isn’t from @RachelNotley or the @abndpcaucus , it’s from future Albertans via deficits!

I listened to your Sept,2017 podcast with Keith Brownsey. Good discussion. You indicated media is reporting things a little lopsided against the pipeline which we all knew. “Canada should diversify energy markets. Don’t go after the environmental movement because of foreign funding.” Fast forward to April 2018, a lot has changed. The Feds are about to buy the pipeline due to the inability to navigate through the courts. Protests have ramped up and come off as very surgically organized.

Vivian Krause emerges with strong research that indeed US foundations are funding activist activities in Canada, influencing policy in Canada and even influencing elections in Canada. This is the narrative that Keith Brownsey recommends the energy industry do not challenge. Then there is a Twitter squabble between you and Vivian and you accuse her of smearing you.

Agreed that Vivian is a blogger/speaker and not a journalist. She is focused on a specific research path and you have a fuller scope. Why keep publicly taking shots at Vivian when you are both helping understand the truth. Just keep on clearing up the truth.

Krause was a pro-fish farm activist; until the market dried up.
Says everything you need to know on that subject.

Everyone knows Texas in on the ocean, that is not the point, the point is that American lobbyists who are funded in part by wealthy groups have been interfering with Canadian energy politics while their own oil businesses are booming, and it looks like they helped get Trudeau elected too. https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/politics/obama-administration-intervened-in-canadian-british-and-french-elections/ Do you think Americans would tolerate outside interference from Canada in their politics? Vivian Krause has done a great service for Canadians, showing how our politics are being corrupted behind the curtain.

Time to ask VK, that champion of disclosure and paid-shill accusations, who pays her bills, and why she’s suing Sandy Garossino for revealing sources of VK’s income.

I’m still waiting for the follow up article. Who are the eager customers willing to buy another 30 years worth of high-carbon feedstock?
