'If it was down to me' - Lauren Price makes Natasha Jonas admission as 'respect' claim madeArticle content Alberta is at a crossroads. As global priorities shift towards emissions reduction and environmental responsibility, Alberta faces an urgent choice: adapt and lead or risk being sidelined by international markets. With mounting pressure to cut emissions, the Alberta government has a limited-time opportunity to pioneer large-scale carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) infrastructure. This isn’t just a commitment to sustainability — it’s a strategy to secure Alberta’s place as a leader in a carbon-conscious world. Alberta’s economy has long been powered by oil and gas, but many major trading partners now prioritize carbon neutrality. Whether Albertans agree on the human role in climate change or not, global markets demand low-carbon solutions. Countries across Europe and trading partners like the United States are implementing carbon tariffs, which could restrict Alberta’s market access if we don’t act. Investing in CCUS now allows Alberta to meet global demands while protecting and strengthening our economy. Our province’s fortunate geological situation once again gives Alberta a natural advantage, this time in CCUS. Alberta and Saskatchewan could safely store decades’ worth of North America’s carbon emissions, making Alberta ideal for carbon storage. Projects like the Alberta Carbon Trunk Line have demonstrated the technical feasibility of capturing and transporting CO2, but this is only a fraction of Alberta’s potential. By expanding CCUS infrastructure, Alberta could offer carbon storage to industries across the continent, transforming this advantage into a competitive service. But this window won’t stay open forever. Other jurisdictions, such as parts of the U.S. Midwest and Gulf Coast, also have suitable geology and could become major players. Alberta needs to act now to secure a leadership role. Critics argue that CCUS technology is costly, especially in its early stages. But the costs of inaction are higher. If Alberta falls behind in carbon-reduction infrastructure, we risk losing ground to regions already investing in CCUS. This industry has the potential to generate billions in revenue through job creation and international investment. By investing now, Alberta can be first to capture demand as carbon-reduction policies solidify. While market demand may fluctuate with global policies, establishing CCUS infrastructure early would allow Alberta to adapt and remain competitive. Some Albertans may question the value of CCUS spending, especially if they are skeptical of human-driven climate change. Yet the world’s largest economies are moving forward with carbon reduction policies regardless of Alberta’s stance. The European Union, for instance, has introduced a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) to tariff imports from countries with weak carbon policies, and the United States is considering similar measures. Establishing CCUS now will help ensure Alberta’s continued market access, protect industries from penalties, and preserve our competitiveness. For those focused on job security and growth, CCUS offers a transformative path forward. Expanding CCUS infrastructure would create thousands of high-quality, stable jobs in engineering, construction, and operations — fields where Alberta already has expertise. Transitioning the workforce will require careful planning, but pairing CCUS with renewable technology offers workforce retraining opportunities, ensuring that Albertans employed in traditional sectors remain essential to our energy future. By diversifying the provincial economy around carbon management, Alberta can position itself for resilience in the global energy transition. While some argue that CCUS could extend Alberta’s reliance on fossil fuels, it’s crucial to see CCUS as one part of a comprehensive energy strategy. By integrating CCUS with renewable investments, Alberta can lead in both low-carbon innovation and traditional energy expertise. Aligning CCUS with projects in wind or solar would balance carbon capture with renewable growth, amplifying Alberta’s strengths in both domains and positioning us to lead in a sustainable, diversified energy market. Another critique of CCUS is its long-term cost, especially for aged infrastructure no longer needed. However, Alberta can add a small fee per ton of stored CO2 over the project’s life span to build a reclamation fund, avoiding the issue of orphan wells. Following models used effectively elsewhere, an independently overseen fee structure could ensure these funds are responsibly managed, reducing future financial risks. This would allow for decommissioning and reclamation without burdening future generations. Supporting CCUS isn’t about conceding to any one view on climate science; it’s about adapting to global market trends while leveraging Alberta’s strengths. CCUS aligns with Alberta’s Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) system and provides an emissions reduction pathway that fits our circumstances. This strategy protects Alberta’s economy while embracing responsible carbon management. CCUS isn’t just an environmental solution — it’s an economic lifeline for Alberta’s future. Policymakers, industry leaders, and Albertans have a rare opportunity to secure our province’s future as forward-thinking energy leaders. The choice is clear: Lead, adapt, and thrive — or risk being left behind in a rapidly changing global economy.

Max George to undergo major heart surgery after terrifying health scare – and reveals he’ll spend Christmas in hospitalThe condemnation came as the House of Lords debated regulations paving the way for a scheme which would require animal lovers on the British mainland to have documentation in order to visit Northern Ireland. Critics view the move as further evidence of Northern Ireland still having to follow EU rules post-Brexit and being treated differently from the rest of the UK – a major source of contention to the unionist community. The paperwork, which will be free to apply for, includes a declaration that the owner will not travel onwards to Ireland or another EU country with their pet or assistance dog. Animals will have to be microchipped and have their own individual pet travel document, which will be valid for its lifetime. Northern Ireland residents returning after a stay in Great Britain with their pet or assistance dog will not need a travel document. The scheme is being introduced under the Windsor Framework, a revised deal for Northern Ireland’s post-Brexit trading arrangements aimed at tackling issues caused by the protocol. Raising her concerns in Parliament, Baroness Hoey, a Northern Irish Brexit supporter and former Labour MP, said: “These regulations are in effect about a new aspect of the Irish Sea border that has not had expression until this point because of the grace periods.” She added: “The experience of visiting Northern Ireland with your pet dog or cat, or even a ferret, will be made to feel like a visit to a foreign country. Lady Hoey went on: “This could spell the end of holiday trips for pet owners from GB to NI and then on to the Republic, when they want to explore both Northern Ireland and the Republic. “If they have a pet passport, they will have renounced their right to go to the Republic. That makes the border more of an obstruction than having border control posts on it, because at least in that eventuality, you could still cross over it.” Rejecting claims it was a result of the UK leaving the EU, she said: “The reality is that this is happening precisely because Northern Ireland has not got Brexit. “As we say repeatedly, it is still subject to EU rules and the EU could change the rules overnight.” Former DUP deputy leader Lord Dodds of Duncairn said: “Every one of the statutory instruments that come forward under the Windsor Framework must be properly debated, because these laws are being brought forward to implement what a foreign jurisdiction has decided should be the law of the United Kingdom. “In the 21st century, we should not accept colonial rule. We abolished it elsewhere. We believe it should not be tolerated for one second. People should have the democratic right to decide their laws for themselves, in their interests.” He added: “The ridiculous part about this debate is that we are having to debate European laws regulating the movement of pet animals owned by British citizens between one part of the United Kingdom and another. That is an outrage.” Lord Dodds went on: “As I said, there will be hundreds, thousands more of these regulations, in all areas, affecting the daily lives of people in Northern Ireland. They all add up to a grievous assault on Northern Ireland’s constitutional position.” But former leader of the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) Baroness Ritchie of Downpatrick said: “I support the Windsor Framework because it is a necessary legal device to deal with the complexities that were presented to us in Ireland, north and south, on the issue of Brexit. “We need a pragmatic solution rather than choosing to have political contests and duels simply for the sake of them.” Introducing the regulations, environment minister Baroness Hayman of Ulloch said: “This scheme will simplify the requirements associated with moving pet dogs, cats and ferrets from Great Britain to Northern Ireland significantly. “It replaces single-use animal health certificates with a free-of-charge lifelong travel document and removes the need for costly pet health treatments. “Pet owners who travel frequently with their pets, or those who rely on the services of an assistance dog to travel independently, will benefit substantially from this change in approach.” However, she acknowledged the concerns raised by peers and promised to continue engagement with them.Why is it so hard to type in Indigenous languages?

Study Discovers Constipation Has a Causal Relationship with Schizophrenia, MDDAlthough (Reinas) is Switzerland’s entry for the this year, the movie is actually set in Peru and told in Spanish. Director and co-writer Klaudia Reynicke, who left her native Peru at the age of 10, says the film helped her reconnect with her roots after spending most of her life in Europe and the U.S. “I didn’t think it in a conscious way, but I had a need of going back to Peru and shooting something in Spanish,” she said during a panel at Deadline’s Contenders Film: International awards-season showcase. “Now that I have done it,” Reynicke added, “I can see that it was actually very important this reconnection, something has changed. I guess cinema allows this, right?” While is not Reynicke’s own personal story, “it’s definitely very, very connected to it,” she said. The touching family drama — which also has comedic elements — is set in 1992 Peru as the country undergoes social and political upheaval. Single mother Elena is making plans to leave the country with her daughters Lucía and Aurora, but needs their predominantly absent father, Carlos, to sign papers to allow the daughters to cross a border. The girls, whom the well-intentioned but hapless Carlos calls “queens,” are at first skeptical of him. But they eventually warm to their father as the impending farewell from home and family draws ever nearer. This is Reynicke’s third feature, and premiered at Sundance before going on to win the Grand Jury Prize for Best Feature in the Generation Kplus strand of Berlin. In Locarno, it won the Audience Award and took Best Screenplay at the Festival de Lima in Peru. Gonzalo Molina, who plays Carlos, describes the character as “a broken man” who thinks the only way to be forgiven “by these two lovely kids is calling them queens ... Carlos thinks that they are better in many ways than him.” He also “doesn’t know how to repair the damage, but he tries to make things a little better.” Luana Vega, who plays Aurora, says she had to “search for these feelings” when playing “the resentment Aurora has ... Aurora has lived more of this not-present father and Lucía hasn’t, so I think that’s why she tries to take advantage of him.” And yet, the family does come together before parting ways, with Reynicke framing them as a unit. “When you feel that this group of people is becoming a family finally, and the camera embraces them, that’s when you know there is going to be a big separation,” she said. “But to me it’s not really a bad ending, it’s actually life. The family has gained in love and has gained in solidity.” Check back Monday for the panel video. Sign up for . For the latest news, follow us on , , and .
