  • Discussing Different Forms of Energy
    Aug 25 2025

    We start a two part discussion around different forms of energy and the slow conversion to greener forms of energy. Why does green energy cost more? What is the hold-up if there is such urgency? As with most things, it's very political.


    Join us as we start discussing the several forms of energy that we use here in Canada and the energy options moving forward. We will follow up next week with a more focused discussion around the politics of climate change and the greener energy sources of the future.

    With news now coming in that MLAs Pete Guthrie and Scott Sinclair have entered into formal talks to reignite the Alberta Party, we discuss where that could go in the current political climate here in Alberta. What will they need to do, and what can they expect?


    We also look at tackling some of the more popular myths regarding Alberta separating from Canada like using the Canadian passport and easier access to tidewater. What are the options?
