There's another oil pipeline proposal going to the Major Projects Office. A feasibility study to be done by the end of this year. This time to Ontario. Premier Doug Ford says he won't hesitate to do what the Alberta and Canadian governments are doing - in other words - it's going to be paid for by the government. An additional 500,000 barrels of oil/day to come from the oil sands and delivered to Sarnia for refining. And Ford also loves Danielle Smith. Couldn't stop talking about her great leadership. They even exchanged belt buckles. https://www.alberta.ca/release.cfm?xID=964522F545030-00C6-DE4F-24B9092F19D0A715

There is a remark from Danielle Smith about a reporter in the video. Smith seems to think all questions from reporters should be "neutral" whatever that means. Smith has some strange ideas about how to do journalism. If the media can't ask probing or even leading questions to draw out the truth, we might as well just all pack up and go home. If there's no factual basis to back up a reporter's question, it won't go anywhere. So, no worries. Politicians have been dealing with this technique used by reporters for decades. But suddenly, Conservative premiers are making up new rules for journalism because they don't like being called out on their actions. Doug Ford said he was impressed by Smith's "neutrality" comment and he will start using it when he goes back to Ontario. I've got news for Conservative premiers. The public wants the media to be MORE direct in their questioning, not less. #media #journalism
