Hard Pass

And while I'm at it, can I have a car that isn't just spyware disguised as a fancy iPad?

I do use Linux at home, but work forces me to use Windows.

Let there be no doubt, Trump is the symptom, not the problem. Vance is the President in Waiting (I predict he will be POTUS after the November elections), and he will be far worse then Trump ever could be. Trump is knee-jerk, Vance is cold and calculating.

But the good news is, based on the mud-slinging the Republican party is doing, they are really. really afraid they will lose the Senate AND the House in November, and they are trying to shore up support in America for their failed policies. They really, really need this trade deal, and Carney knows it. Unless they get a trade deal before November, the American political scene will look very, very different.

Until recently, federal clean electricity rules would have prevented the AESO's gas-powered plan from going ahead. Those rules limited emissions from power plants connected to the grid and restricted how the province could rely on natural gas generation.

But because the Carney government paused Canada's clean electricity rules for Alberta as part of their November MOU, said Noel, the province can force developers to burn gas to power data centres.

Smith has been clear that the province's data centre push is a way to sell more Alberta gas. In a recent YouTube video, she painted data centres as "digital refineries" that will allow the province to generate more wealth from its natural gas reserves.

"A data centre refines that gas, in stages, into the most valuable commodity of our time. Gas becomes electricity. Electricity becomes computing power. And computing power becomes intelligence," she said. Her words echo the province's natural gas producers, who are pushing for data centre development to create a market for gas they're otherwise struggling to sell.
