Opinion: Some in Canada see Putin’s squeeze on energy exports to Europe as an opening for Canadian energy, MP HMcPhersonMP writes. German leaders say that an opportunity does exist for Canada — one for Canadian green energy technologies.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh tweeted a photo of himself, right, speaking with Chancellor Olaf Scholz, on Nov. 2, 2022.

Understandably, the West’s focus has been on Germany’s immediate energy needs and its reliance on Russian natural gas. Prior to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, just over half of Germany’s natural gas — about 14 per cent of Germany’s energy mix overall — came from Russia. By June of this year, the volume of Russian gas flowing to Germany had fallen by half.

In October, the European Parliament endorsed a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty calling for an equitable phaseout of oil, gas and coal production. Germany is interested in Canada’s immense potential for clean energy and sees Canada as a reliable and necessary partner in this energy transition — a role we can and should play on the global stage and at home.of a poll of Albertans’ attitudes to the energy transition from Janet Brown Opinion Research.

While Alberta and Canada are not in Putin’s energy crosshairs, we are facing the same choices that Germans are. The question is no longer whether we will transition our energy mix and economies, but how and how quickly.

Smith wants Alberta's sovereigntyOTTAWA—Alberta Premier Danielle Smith wants sovereignty in a united Canada. She claims it has nothing to do with a desire to separate, but the first bill she tabled as premier says otherwise.  The crux of the bill is to give her cabinet the right to refuse to proceed with any federal legislation or action that it perceives as detrimental to Alberta.  Notwithstanding her promises while running for the United Conservative Party leadership, she makes it very plain that her cabinet decisions take precedence over the Canadian Constitution. Observers have underscored problems with the legislation, but they have more to do with internal Alberta politics than anything coming from Ottawa. The decision to give cabinet the right to overturn all laws could actually cause problems for democracy in Alberta. The move certainly seems to diminish the power of the legislature’s involvement in the approval, rejection, or amendment of any legislation. In a majority government, the cabinet recommendation is usually carried by the legislature. But that is not a given.  Minority governments are unlikely in Alberta, given the dominance of only two political parties. But the decision to simply override parliamentary opinion by way of a cabinet fiat is definitely a political mistake. At this point, the premier has to be a lot more concerned about her standing amongst Alberta voters than her popularity, or lack thereof, in the rest of the country. She has to face the voters in less than six months, and even her immediate predecessor has made it very clear that he disagrees with her sovereignty pitch.  In resigning on the same day that Smith tabled the sovereignty bill, outgoing premier Jason Kenney took an indirect hit at Smith’s first piece of legislation by way of his retirement statement: “I am concerned that our democratic life is veering away from ordinary prudential debate towards a polarization that undermines our bedrock institutions and principles.” There has never been any love lost Sheila_Copps Works for Quebec works for this Albertan

Alberta changing sovereignty bill to reverse provision giving cabinet unchecked powerAlberta Premier Danielle Smith says her government is crafting changes to be debated next week to reverse the part of a bill that gives her cabinet unfettered power to rewrite laws behind closed doors without legislature approval. I bet the Gov of Alberta won't ban the wearing of hijabs and turbans for their employees like Quebec. But according to the media Quebec isn't racist because the white Euro Quebec 'colonizers' speak french Not a good time to be living in Alberta! About time someone stands up to the Trudeau Clan!
