Tonight's the night! With the #AlbertaElection, an already historic #WildfireSeason and wild (incorrect) mass-arson claims as a backdrop what better time to gauge our #ClimateEmergency preparedness with friend of the show #SethKlein
See you tonight on #AClimateOfChange!

Alberta's failure on #ClimateEmergency Marker #5 (#LeaveNoOneBehind) feeds directly into Marker #6, making a clean sweep (or rather a dirty one) of climate preparedness failures this election season. It's official. We're 0 for 6. An F-

We can be certain that if Alberta's recent election is any indication, our youth will ABSOLUTELY be left behind in the #GlobalEnergyTransition. Small wonder so many have left/are leaving for places promising greater opportunity for the future.

Alberta performed abysmally on #ClimateEmergency Marker #4 which unfortunately doesn't set us up very well for #5. We already mentioned how #JustTransition was villainized by BOTH major political parties & the climate community had nobody speaking to/for them.

What #YYC went through just 2 days before a debate night (and indeed election) that entirely ignored it, #NewYork's going through today & the imagery is equally horrific. Alberta's emissions are far & away the highest in Canada & we just held an election where any talk of this was verboten. Again.

When asked who won the #AlbertaElection debate from a climate perspective, #ClimateLens host @Bentley's answer was "we all lost."

#AlbertaElection2023 entirely ignoring #ClimateChange while #Alberta burned and #YYC experienced the thickest smoke of our entire existence was an omission so glaring it was reported all over the world. That's us making the wrong kind of news again & it took both of our major parties to do it. Speaks poorly about our perceived understanding or care about Climate's severity/urgency

How did the #AlbertaElection perform on #ClimateEmergency marker #4? Woefully bad. Maybe the worst of the bunch. Alberta was literally on fire, smoke was as bad as its ever been in battleground #YYC & no leadership candidate nor debate moderator mentioned the link to #ClimateChange

Doubtless Smith's now infamous call to Coutts blockade championing Pawlowski cost her some votes but not enough to lose. As a rule opposing federal mandates doesn't hurt provincial candidates in Alberta. That's a BIG PROBLEM for climate preparedness.

#Alberta "leads" #Canada in opposition to a #CarbonTax just as it does vaccine mandates or vaccines at all. The #FreedomConvoy's roots are in the #PetroPopulist Albertan-spawned #UnitedWeRoll convoy which shared many of the same organizers

Mandatory climate policy around the #CarbonTax was again used as a political cudgel this election. Having survived quixotic constitutional challenges #AlbertaElection2023 could've been the time for a fulsome debate on provincial rather than federal control of Alberta's carbon tax revenues. That didn't happen.

What can we say about the #AlbertaElection & #ClimateEmergency Marker 3? A little history: Alberta was the last province to mandate seatbelts & stop smoking in bars. We've accepted only the rear license plate on our vehicles. We nurture and relish in an 'uncontrollable' #WildWest identity.

Profitable oil companies laying off large numbers of workers immediately following provincial elections is becoming exactly the kind of tradition a #JustTransitionMinistry could protect against & ensure those people predictably lost in the shuffle have somewhere to go

Just 3 days after the election there are now 1500 less #OilAndGas jobs for Albertans than before, this during an era of record profits for oil companies with #Suncor having earned a 76% increase in the 4th quarter of 2022 over the same period in 2021

On to Emergency Marker #2. In the early days of 2023 Canada's Prime Minister proposed a new #JustTransition office to ensure affected industry workers don't get left behind in the #GlobalEnergyTransition, to which he was met with howls from BOTH of Alberta's party leaders.

Back to our analysis in a second but first a shout out to our great partners for the upcoming #SethKlein show, #CalgaryAllianceForTheCommonGood. Their next event on June 12 is asking some of the big questions for this province

So what did this #AlbertaElection tell us about our #ClimateEmergency awareness? Nothing good. The closest we came to discussing Emergency Marker #1 was an attack on mission critical funding of the #NetZeroBy2035 energy grid upgrade
