This strategy has caused a sharp spike in Chinese shipments to Canada, with logistics firms and customs brokers reporting surging inquiries and storage demand from consumer goods, chemical, and auto parts sectors. However, experts caution that prolonged storage costs\u2014estimated at $1,750 per container per week\u2014and limited warehouse capacity could force sellers to offload discounted goods into the Canadian market, potentially disrupting domestic manufacturing. Others warn the strategy is risky and unsustainable, especially if the trade conflict drags into next year\u2019s U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement negotiations.

Its landscape encompasses mountains, prairies, desert badlands and vast coniferous forests. It has more than 600 lakes, and rich mineral deposits. In the west, the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks have glaciers in the Columbia Icefields. The Waterton Glacier International Peace Park is a biosphere reserve that straddles the southern border with the USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alberta.ca\/\">https:\/\/www.alberta.ca\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/May 1, 2025  Challenging unconstitutional net-zero legislation\">http:\/\/May 1, 2025  Challenging unconstitutional net-zero legislation<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Challenging unconstitutional net-zero legislation<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>The ineffective federal net-zero electricity regulations will not reduce emissions or benefit Albertans but will increase costs and lead to supply shortages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The risk of power outages during a hot summer or the depths of harsh winter cold snaps, are not unrealistic outcomes if these regulations are implemented. According to the Alberta Electric System Operator\u2019s analysis, the regulations in question would make Alberta&#8217;s electricity system more than 100 times less reliable than the province&#8217;s supply adequacy standard. Albertans expect their electricity to remain affordable and reliable, but implementation of these regulations could increase costs by a staggering 35 per cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canada\u2019s constitution is clear. Provinces have exclusive jurisdiction over the development, conservation and management of sites and facilities in the province for the generation and production of electrical energy. That is why Alberta\u2019s government is referring the constitutionality of the federal government\u2019s recent net-zero electricity regulations to the Court of Appeal of Alberta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThe federal government refused to work collaboratively or listen to Canadians while developing these regulations. The results are ineffective, unachievable and irresponsible, and place Albertans\u2019 livelihoods \u2013 and more importantly, lives \u2013 at significant risk. Our government will not accept unconstitutional net-zero regulations that leave Albertans vulnerable to blackouts in the middle of summer and winter when they need electricity the most.\u201d<em>Danielle Smith, Premier<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThe introduction of the Clean Electricity Regulations in Alberta by the federal government is another example of dangerous federal overreach. These regulations will create unpredictable power outages in the months when Albertans need reliable energy the most. They will also cause power prices to soar in Alberta, which will hit our vulnerable the hardest.\u201d<em>Mickey Amery, Minister of Justice and Attorney General<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Finalized in December 2024, the federal electricity regulations impose strict carbon limits on fossil fuel power, in an attempt to force a net-zero grid, an unachievable target given current technology and infrastructure. The reliance on unproven technologies makes it almost impossible to operate natural gas plants without costly upgrades, threatening investment, grid reliability, and Alberta\u2019s energy security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cOttawa\u2019s electricity regulations will leave Albertans in the dark. They aren\u2019t about reducing emissions \u2013 they are unconstitutional, ideological activist policies based on standards that can\u2019t be met and technology that doesn\u2019t exist. It will drive away investment and punish businesses, provinces and families for using natural gas for reliable, dispatchable power. We will not put families at risk from safety and affordability impacts \u2013 rationing power during the coldest days of the year \u2013 and we will continue to stand up for Albertans.\u201d<em>Rebecca Schulz, Minister of Environment and Protected Areas<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>On Thursday, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith was asked about her personal position on Alberta separating from Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smith responded by saying that she believes in &#8220;Alberta&#8217;s sovereignty within a United Canada.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smith\u2019s government has proposed legislation that would make it easier for citizens to call for a referendum on seceding from Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Chief Sheldon Sunshine of Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation and Mikisew Cree Nation Chief Billy-Joe Tuccaro said in a letter that the premier is enabling a referendum on separation, and a \u201cfanatical cell of individuals,\u201d when Canadians need to unite against U.S. tariffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To which Smith replied Thursday, saying &#8220;Any Albertan can put an idea forward on any topic. And if they&#8217;re able to get the number of signatures, then it would go to a vote, that includes a vote of members of First Nations and we encourage Indigenous peoples to participate.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Captain Convey Comment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"428\" height=\"247\" class=\"wp-image-1164\" style=\"width: 428px;\" src=\"https:\/\/audaciouscat.com\/rabbit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/weseeyou.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/audaciouscat.com\/rabbit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/weseeyou.jpg 741w, https:\/\/audaciouscat.com\/rabbit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/weseeyou-300x173.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 428px) 100vw, 428px\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We see you President Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Were coming soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alberta wants to be the 51st state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Help us make it happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is the population of Alberta in 2025?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Statistics Canada says the population of Alberta grew at a faster pace than all other provinces and territories.
