We’d heard a couple weeks ago that Alberta Premier Jason Kenney was expected to testify before the US Senate about Canadian oil.
Looks like Canada Day for the US Senate energy committee is next week — May 17.

The 5 ridings with the most UCP members are repped by Joseph Schow, Jason Nixon, Brian Jean, Devin Dreeshen and Nathan Cooper -- and combine for more than 9,100 members of the 59,400 total. The top 12 ridings for memberships are all outside main cities. Kenney's riding has 472.

The opinion from the court of appeal has no legal teeth and currently changes nothing about the application of the federal legislation. The court did not make a ruling or judgement, they were asked for a legal analysis and opinion based on two specific questions from the province
Alberta Environment Minister
@JasonNixonAB
says that, "as of today," the Impact Assessment Act cannot be used in his province. The Alberta government appears to be under the mistaken impression that the court's opinion today is binding and takes effect immediately

Premier Kenney has been visibly pleased during this news conference where he's also addressing the C-69 court of appeal opinion: "I'm a glass half full kind of guy and today my cup overfloweth," he says as the room chuckles.

TLDR: The majority says it disregards prov. jurisdiction, grants a veto to the feds + risks stranding prov. economies. Dissenting justice says the effects of climate change are in fed. jurisdiction, C-69 is an evolution of existing laws and the enviro is a shared responsibility

I spent the morning reading the C-69 opinion and a couple themes stick out:
-There is a LOT of political language
-The wording is quite strong from both sides of the 4-1 split
-They're all concerned about the environ., but a lot of time is spent on WHO has jurisdiction over it
