@thenarwhal.caReposted by @drewanderson.bsky.socialThe Pacific Link pipeline moved another step forward last week, marking an expensive truce between Canada and Alberta, @drewanderson.bsky.social writes.
Despite the two governments agreeing it would be financed by the private sector, taxpayers were always going to foot the bill.
@drewanderson.bsky.socialYou! Give us money! We're good.
@drewanderson.bsky.socialHaha. Oh man. I bet Weird Al could save us somehow if he could just get into the inner circle.
@thenarwhal.caReposted by @drewanderson.bsky.socialA leaked document has made a big splash in Alberta, but the full details have not been made public — until now.
The document lays out plans to overhaul Alberta’s natural gas pipelines in an effort boost oil and gas and support new AI data centres, via @drewanderson.bsky.social.

The Narwhal's @drewanderson.bsky.social chats on alleged leaked document showing Alberta’s plans to pave the way for AI data centres & more oil prod
He adds the doc suggests the cost of generating power could increase by 25%
@drewanderson.bsky.socialReaction to our scoop this morning on potential government plans to take control over natural gas pipelines in Alberta. With acknowledgement from the Alberta government. #abpoli
@thenarwhal.caReposted by @drewanderson.bsky.socialA leaked document obtained by @drewanderson.bsky.social has led to political backlash in Alberta over moves the doc says could raise electricity and gas prices. It's all to spur data centre and oil & gas growth. Read more, and see excerpts from the document, here: thenarwhal.ca/alberta-oppo...
@drewanderson.bsky.socialWeirdly, Drew was at Luke's just last night.
@drewanderson.bsky.social@drewanderson.bsky.socialAlberta in 2024: shit, there’s a bunch of folks with Canadian flags up ahead. Alberta in 2026: sweet, there’s a bunch of folks with Canadian flags up ahead.
@drewanderson.bsky.socialIt’s me. In a giant digger. And it wasn’t a trap!
@drewanderson.bsky.socialIn July, I was invited to tour an operational coal mine in Alberta's foothills. A rare oppotunity, offered by a company that says it's trying to do better. But even if it strives to be better than its peers, can a coal mine be good? #abpoli thenarwhal.ca/alberta-rock...
@thenarwhal.caReposted by @drewanderson.bsky.socialAlberta changes legislation to allow farmers to destroy many wetlands
The province says farmers shouldn’t need permission to destroy temporary or seasonal wetlands. One advocate says that puts 94 per cent of prairie wetlands at risk
@thenarwhal.caReposted by @drewanderson.bsky.socialAlberta wants to expand coal mining in the Rockies, but data shows the province's existing mines have struggled to prevent incidents that impact local water and wildlife.
@drewanderson.bsky.socialLook what we've gone and done. The Narwhal is launching a nationwide series today, looking at the costs of climate change and who's actually footing the bill. Stay tuned for lots of stories to comes, including at least a couple from Alberta. Stay tuned. #ableg #cdnpoli thenarwhal.ca/series/who-p...
