The leaders of two conservative Canadian provinces are calling Ottawa to eliminate the oil and gas emissions cap, allow oil tankers on the West Coast, and end the designation of plastics as toxic
Danielle Smith is the leader of Alberta. Scott Moe is the leader of Saskatchewan.
Considered hostile to public transit, favorable to firearms and critical of vaccination they are the most powerful conservative politicians in Canada.
In a joint statement, both are urging the Canadian Government to get rid of environmental rules in order to increase the economy. These are their core demands:
- Repealing/Overhauling Environmental Impact Assessment when it comes to natural ressources projects (mining, fracking, etc..)
- Eliminating the oil and gas emissions cap
- Getting rid of clean electricity regulations
- Lifting the oil tanker ban off the west coast
- Stopping rules preventing the free speech of corporations ("greenwashing")
- No more laws/regulation against plastics

So pretty much every regulation that was hard fought for and has actual benefits.
Won't you please think of the profits!
I often think about the stolen wages.
A literal death cult fueled by insatiable greed. They won't stop until we're swimming in pollution in 50°C+ summers of constant wildfires
Let's also remove protection for corporations above a certain revenue level. No more limited liability. If you're a shareholder you're personally responsible for anything what happens. Bankruptcies include personal fortunes.
Let them have tankers on their own coasts.
I know what I said.
Moe and Smith. Name me a worse pair.
Putin & Trump
OK, you got me there.
Put them on a bus to the Florida coast.
Tell us more about your evil plans.
NO! These are NOT Western Provinces. They're MID-Western. Please let us in the West not be associated with those demented flatlanders.
Flatlander Dementia is real, and incurable, and the only hope is to relocate young children before the disease takes hold. If you would like to hear more about Flatlander Dementia, please send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to
And remember to support charities supporting research to fight this horrible affliction.

About 15,000 have fled Saskatchewan wildfires and more coming: Premier Moe
That bitch needs to get the hell out of office. Between her being pretty much against wind/solar/other green energy and what she's done to AHS. She needs to go!
I'm glad I was able to do my part for the planet thanks to the federal Greener Homes Grant and Loan. I installed 30 solar panels on my house and garage. 6 months(sometimes 7, depends on snow being on panels or not) out of the year ENMAX owes me money for feeding power to the grid, which ends up dropping my overall bill for the 4 services (power, natural gas, water, and waste/recycling) to under $150. Sometimes even under $100 depending how often the central air runs.
