Equipment issue led to excessive LNG Canada flaring, docs reveal | The Narwhal LNG Canada delayed reporting ‘integrity issue’ to regulators and never fully informed the public, while locals raised concerns about noise, smoke and emissions

LNG Canada has known there was an issue with its flaring equipment for over a year. While locals raised concerns about noise, smoke and emissions, until now, they didn’t have answers. The Narwhal reviewed more than 2,000 pages of documents for this story: thenarwhal.ca/lng-canada-f... #bcpoli

My periodic cold weather reminder: Modern air-to-air cold-climate #heatpumps are amazing. Our little house in Toronto, Canada stays nice and comfy with zero back-up heat source in these conditions. The house is more comfortable, cutting our gas line saves us money, and our carbon footprint is tiny.

Research Links Extreme Cold Weather in the United States to Arctic Warming - Climate Program Office The study provides insights that could potentially extend the warning lead time of cold extremes in the United States, Canada, and Asia.

Somebody this stupid shouldn’t be president. Maybe some of those scientists that he fired or defunded can explain Arctic amplification to him.

We've let our advantages lapse: Canada's post-secondary system is structurally underfunded, our healthcare system is sliding slowly into two-tier privatisation, non-profit /affordable housing is hard to find or build, most regional/public transit is terrible, 97% of digital services are foreign.

Unicorn startups like Blackberry are hard to spark, but fundamental underlying conditions for innovation to thrive requires a highly educated and healthy workforce, affordable housing and transportation options, open and quality common carrier infrastructure and digital sovereignty. 4/

And when Canada does make big bets, providing billions in public support to private industry, we largely hand out cash to structurally declining/disrupted industries like oil & gas exports, which have an exceptionally low labour share of GDP. Incumbent industry has far too much policy influence. 3/

Canada is a country of small-minded oligopolies. Our major industries lack healthy competition (and needed competition enforcement). Banks, insurance, telecoms, utilities, media groceries, and on and on. Rent seeking - instead of innovation. 2/

Tackling Canada's lack of innovation or corporate investment is complex, but has almost nothing to do with fake claims of 'red tape' or regulation. 1/

Now take take out the 'Magnificent 7' tech companies in the US. Without them, the U.S. economy has seen worse stagnation than Canada's. This just doesn't tell the story you think it does.

ccs failure rates

REALLY wild graphic buried in the back of this paper examining why CCS is so slow

The light bars are what was planned for CCS, and the dark bars are **what actually became operational**

Close to a 100% failure rate, for most applications (!!!!!!)

I swear maybe once a decade in public, and this is the moment. This fucking racist and all the gibbering racists nodding along behind him are the ruination of our country. Our fucking job for the next fucking year is to fucking destroy them in the next election. Fuck them.

The Fight For My Farming Future - Macleans.ca I’m suing the country’s largest pension manager to protect my retirement fund

Yep, a seriously wrong take here.

There is no bargain in a north coast oil pipeline, only snake oil Sacrificing B.C.’s coastal economy, ecosystems, and communities, and First Nations territories is not nation-building.

Sure, but we can expect around a $20 billion dollar write down - associated with any ‘sale’.

Because no one would buy it. The debt/servicing costs would be too high and the shippers are at the NEB fighting the (very low) proposed tolls. The federal government will need to write down the debt and ‘gift’ the project to any buyers. twnsacredtrust.ca/twn-applies-...

We think Canadian CSO delegations are all accounted for and safe, but the team is double checking to be certain.

Yes, all of which accrued to privately held, majority foreign owned corporations.

Selling out the climate, selling out Indigenous rights, harming your own citizens, at the behest of an extremist premier and an industry negotiating in bad faith - in exchange for increasing physical, economic risks and empty political posturing. That's a textbook #StupidBargain 30/end 🛑

Could Canada's oilpatch trust another Liberal? Here's how the PM contenders stack up Mark Carney, Chrystia Freeland and Pierre Poilievre are seen as possible contenders for Prime Minister. Here's how they stack up on energy

Its highly unlikely such a bargain would move any votes. The Trudeau government rescued, purchased, and financed the entire #TMX pipeline project - only to face escalating relentless political attacks from industry. It's naive to assume otherwise. financialpost.com/commodities/... 29/

Nope. We've seen this movie before. Industry has been attacking federal climate policy in public, lobbying behind closed doors, and in board rooms for decades at this point. Ten seconds after the ink is dry on a #StupidBargain - they will return to their efforts to weaken/remove climate policy. /28

But even if they did, the project is highly unlikely to reduce emissions in any meaningful way. CCUS projects rarely meet their own, weak capture objectives. australiainstitute.org.au/post/this-ca... 25/

Industry has essentially asked for governments to pay for the entire project - a perverse use of public money to ostensibly clean up private pollution. #polluterpays principals be damned. 24/

#CarbonCapture projects of this type generate no marginal revenue, increasing the costs of oil production. Industry has refused to invest any of their billions in profits, in spite of multiple layers of public subsidies 23/ www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...
