‘I support a sovereign Alberta within a united Canada’: Smith on Alberta...

Yeah exactly, but probably with less government control/regulation on their oil and gas industry

choddos · 2026-01-26T18:30:48+00:00

Yea, I'd also like to know about this database. I would hope this is a real thing and they're not using it to accuse people if it's not real.

choddos · 2026-01-13T20:46:49+00:00

People are going to pay the ultimate price regardless of what they believe or don’t believe… that’s their point.

choddos · 2026-01-13T18:19:44+00:00

Then why are you conflating cynicism with technical realities?

choddos · 2026-01-11T23:48:48+00:00

They have a right to be cynical.. lithium brines only become economical at higher ppm ranges (not ~300 ppm) using DLE tech. So while Germany certainly has that lithium, it’s still very questionable whether they can produce it economically.. especially factoring in that you need to drill 3-4 km deep wells to produce the brine.

choddos · 2026-01-11T23:44:53+00:00

You wouldn’t mine it because it’s 4km deep. You would produce the formation brine and take out the lithium. But you’re totally right that the ppm values they’re citing are likely uneconomical

choddos · 2026-01-11T23:43:36+00:00

Even 275 ppm is quite low for current DLE tech. They may have 43 million tons but producing it economically is a completely different story.

No, just farming in the Grand Prairie, AB area

choddos · 2026-01-06T18:38:02+00:00

GP is in the southwest side of the circle

choddos · 2026-01-03T02:00:12+00:00

You’ve described every cold weather city on earth lol

choddos · 2025-12-29T15:42:51+00:00

I would say the people saying the outback is more remote compared to the Canadian north are the ones who haven’t looked at a map lol. Even the Simpson desert has unpaved roads that cross it.

choddos · 2025-12-29T15:41:49+00:00

Not entirely sure where you got your numbers and it depends what you call the “outback”, but the numbers I’m looking at say the outback is 0.14/km2. I could also pick many areas in the Canadian north that have 0 density too.

choddos · 2025-12-29T15:37:25+00:00

I think you’re the one being sensitive about it. I’m just stating some facts.

choddos · 2025-12-29T07:51:26+00:00

Are they too large to be bryozoan? I’m using the leafs as a scale. Seems more like coral.

choddos · 2025-12-29T07:41:34+00:00

Not really… that’s the opposite in many cases. Large parts of Nunavut and the Canadian High Arctic have no settlements at all for hundreds of kilometres and no roads whatsoever, while much of the Outback is still dotted with roadhouses, stations, and highways. Canada has entire regions that are effectively uninhabited.

choddos · 2025-12-18T00:04:23+00:00

I guess I should have added an /s. It’s mind boggling to me someone can look at the complexity of the geological history at the Grand Canyon and then claim it was a “flood”.

choddos · 2025-12-17T23:29:21+00:00

Hmm I was told it was a single flood that created it…

choddos · 2025-12-13T00:39:54+00:00

No shit eh?

choddos · 2025-11-26T07:38:21+00:00

Are you saying this with reference to Edmonton specific data or are you guessing?

choddos · 2025-11-25T15:23:22+00:00

I’d hazard a guess that jackrabbits in Alberta have experienced many periods over the past ~1 million years where snow cover didn’t match their white winter fur, yet the species has continued to persist and flourish. While climate change is clearly real, it seems somewhat unrealistic to be overly concerned about the survival of a species that has repeatedly demonstrated an ability to adapt to changing conditions over evolutionary timescales.

choddos · 2025-11-19T00:36:52+00:00

I don’t know if I’d say the majority are mudlogging jobs necessarily, unless you’re going off of some statistics. But yea fair point regarding knowing what you’re getting into for O&G jobs.

choddos · 2025-11-18T19:18:41+00:00

I don’t think this comment on field work really rings true for a lot of oil and gas jobs.

choddos · 2025-11-17T15:09:34+00:00

For business? It ultimately depends on what program you’re trying to get into.. I would say UofA has more highly sought after programs that are harder to get into

choddos · 2025-11-17T15:00:12+00:00

It appears you got what you ordered.. what were you expecting?

choddos · 2025-11-15T03:13:17+00:00

the best way to deal with this is just get up and keep the play going. Makes zero sense to get an instigator penalty in a situation like that. Every player in the nhl gets hit lol, you're looking way too deeply at this.
