You are closing or partially closing 20 parks, putting 164 up for "partnership", shutting down two visitor centres, cutting trail grooming and increasing fees. But please keep tweeting these great "jokes." Apparently it's funny to you? #ableg #abparks

CAPP lobbied the feds 28x in the last ~2 weeks of March—that’s intense. It makes the federal gov’t’s decision to hold firm on aligning relief for workers with environmental & climate benefits & proceed with the Clean Fuel Standard all the more impressive. #cdnpoli

.@StephanieKusie: "There seem to be 'unending levels of a new rock bottom' in Alberta’s oil and gas sector." And your best idea is to continue shoveling public money into an industry whose growth is incompatible with a safe #climate? #cdnpoli #ableg hilltimes.com/2020/04/29/abs…
Alberta has announced a program for $1B to clean up old oil wells. We support the intent of this program, which will lead to both job creation & environment action, but there have been no details on new policies that will prevent the problem in the future. theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…

A point in this stupid debate worth underscoring: Planet of the Humans relies heavily on criticizing tech from 2008-2012, at the start of a decade of radical transformation for the clean energy biz. It’s like a report on cell phones reported in 2000 and released in 2010

Interest-only loans + mezzanine financing for Canada's oil and gas sector. But sure, Trudeau definitely wants to shut it down. #ableg bnnbloomberg.ca/canada-to-give…

If a child enters a Trades Vocational school at age 5, but can still “move on to any career upon graduation”, then why steer the child into a specific career in the first place. Why not fund excellent, comprehensive public education for all?
All Albertans who don’t want their parks closed and once reverted to crown land, sold, are nothing more than NDPs and radical allies. I think this makes the majority of Albertans NDPs......
Great to see that the NDP and some of their more radical allies at CPAWS Southern Alberta are finally being up front with Albertans. Parks are not for sale! #AbLeg #environment

@JasonNixonAB If you close them, they won’t officially be parks anymore. Will you promise to not sell off any of our land once it is no longer called a park?
@JasonNixonAB Bro your extreme austerity is based on disastrous economic theories and wacky political ideologies – CPAWS just doesn’t want Kananaskis turned into a clear cut forest or an open pit mine – pretty reasonable if you ask me.
@JasonNixonAB Why are multiple campgrounds, fully booked all summer, slated to be closed? While “Parks” are not for sale, those decommissioned to crown land can be. Or those conveniently within Zone 2-4 of open pit mine protection, perhaps made available for this purpose? Prove us wrong.
@EdwinMundt @dstaples @TSNRyanRishaug Didn't the RCMP issue tickets to Americans for visiting Banff. Oh wait, two rules for people... I get it.
@dstaples @TSNRyanRishaug It’s a crap ad that is tone deaf to the true beauty of our city.
@dstaples @TSNRyanRishaug So are those family members going to do a 14 day quarantine? If they're mixing with people throughout AB and BC, instead of being in NHL bubble hotels, this sounds like a risk for the public, with reward only to a few businesses.

Tides Canada distances itself from Tides Foundation, rebrands as @makewaytogether following ‘smear campaign’ - Environment | Business in Vancouver biv.com/article/2020/0… via @BIVnews
@JasonNixonAB Excuse me, Mr. Minister, but you may want to know that there is no corporate or any other relationship between US-based Tides Foundation and Tides Canada. Vivian Krause continually confused the two, no surprise. Also, Tides Canada doesn't fund anti-pipeline activism.
Our response should be dictated by the fact that we're Canadians and other Canadians and those who call Canada home for now are facing a difficult challenge and they'll need our help. Their contributions to our national economy should not enter that deliberation for one second.
#FortMcMurray has had Alberta’s back and all of Canada’s back - contributing mightily to our shared prosperity. Now with #ymmflood they face a once-in-a-century event, and they need us to have their back. You can count on us to be there. #ymmstrong
There are plenty of communities in Canada that have not experienced the prosperity that McMurray has, but we're all Canadians. Let's make that the motivation. People, like us, facing hard times. That's why we help.
