| Too little, too late. Canada should have built this project 20 or 30 years ago and shipped LNG to Japan, which has been using it for decades. |

| Funny article as some of the twitter comments made in response are quoted in it. The company not only made the "stolen lands" comment about Canada but also about the USA. Companies should stay out of politics and focus on what they do. I've never bought Ben & Jerry ice cream. Is it go... |

| I stumbled across a report card from when I was a kid, it used A/B/C/D/F, but Edmonton Public School no longer uses letter grades, instead it now uses Exemplary, Proficient, Adequate and Limited...basically A/B/C/F. In junior and senior high, they do give out number grades and use the A/B/C/D/F rank... |

| Best case scenario is it went crunch. Other than the researcher in it, the rest are billionaires and frankly I don't give a shit about them. But I also hope they didn't suffer needlessly. Agreed - I think this pretty much encapsulates my feelings on this incident: https://pbs.twimg.com/... |

DrCaleb DrCaleb: So far this spring, we've had drought, fire, floods, and snow. Just waiting on the hail, tornadoes, derechko, and more fire.
We get most of that every year anyways - for it to be really weird, we need a hurricane/tropical storm to hit us.  |

| FWIW, prices in Alberta are among the lowest in Canada, but I'm more worried about forgoing that revenue. It puts the government that much closer to a deficit, which will mean more cuts to services Albertans rely on. But then again, that's the UCP playbook - underfund something, claim it's broken, ... |
