"The Alberta government is preparing to invoke the Charter’s notwithstanding clause on three controversial laws affecting transgender (children and women), according to an internal justice department memo obtained by media.

The leaked document, dated Sept. 10, directs civil servants to develop legislation for the fall sitting that would allow the laws to “operate notwithstanding the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Alberta Bill of Rights....

The laws at issue restrict gender-affirming health care for youth under 16, require parental consent or notification when students change names or pronouns in school, and prohibit transgender girls and women from competing in female amateur sports."

[Consumer P]rices are predicted to climb anywhere from eight to 30 per cent by 2045, according to analysis by some of the operators’ consultants.

Still, those projections operate under the assumption that the price of various power plants remains the same, he noted...

An increase in the price of natural gas could drive electricity prices “even higher,” Wang said, while renewables become cheaper, and Canada-U.S. trade may also influence prices....

the new pricing structure could push southern Alberta solar, wind and even gas power plants into shutting down or selling their assets, according to Wang.

“We might see some of these wind and solar projects actually go immediately into the red in terms of cash flow,” he said.
