Meanwhile in Canada

It will take many different approaches not just border enforcement.

Sounds reasonable.

What are some of the many different approaches you would recommend?

[chuckChuck]

Harm reduction, housing, treatment, reasonable criminal enforcement, not criminalization of addiction and small amounts, increasing mental health resources, increased border enforcement and reducing organized crime along with money laundering.
What did I miss?

How to pay for it with Davos Carney perpetuating an economic flagellation.

[AlbertaFarmer5]

Those all sound like reasonable answers.

I thought this was going to be like your excuses for why cheapest ever unreliable energy is always so much more expensive than conventional fossil fuel energy, where you always reply that there are many reasons, then fail to list any that aren't conspiratorial.

Are Texas and North Dakota wrong to have significant amounts of renewable electricity?

Why have they invested so much if it doesn't work?

Get ready for a non answer, change of subject, or crickets!

Let's see how long un-reliables are stuck at 22% and 36% respectively.
Let's see what happens to ND coal at 55% over the next 20 years.
Betting it'll be as consistent as Chuck's stupidity.

Free government money and oil producing states forced to invest to meet ESG’s
Why not set up intermittent power supply if it’s a net benefit to their balance sheets and to continue to get free government money they must speak positively of it .
does it help in certain times of year , yup .
Chuck has stated and shown repeatedly that it’s the lower cost of energy . But not if it’s factored out 24/7 , 365 days a year
Energy prices to consumers is proof of that in Europe.
Must be extremely profitable for the power companies to provide this “cheap” power at very high consumer prices . Quite the gig and leaves the consumers with higher inflation on everything

Intermittent power supply is parasitic on the system.
They can't survive without a host.
Without exception they increase overall cost.

[chuckChuck]

Many utilities around the world have lots of renewables that function just fine. So stop the bullshit that they don't work!

Its not one or the other when you can use multiple sources of supply and lower emissions.

Trumps initial justification for tarrifs was and is still bullshit.

I think everyone agrees with this on the trade deficit part of the BS.
Probably even Trump.

I saw one theory that made some sense.
Trump threatens everyone with huge tariffs to put fear of loosing the market in any businesses that export large % of their product to the US so they consider taking the safer and more economic decision to move there.

So far there have been no tariffs actually imposed.
There certainly will be some but who knows?
But the threat will always be considered by any major exporters that have a choice where to invest.

Kee Jim is one of Alberta's most influential cattle feeders.
He said he was 80% invested in the US?
Risk reduction in a risky business?
