Wednesday's letters: Extending Downtown CRL is the right decision
It seems that this is another case that puts private profit ahead of the public interest. We should also not forget that Smith's government is still subsidizing the oil industry to the tune of billions in foregone tax revenue per year and this has been in place since 2019 when Kenney gave them this huge tax cut subsidy. Yes, taxes foregone are in fact subsidies and this can hardly be justified for the most profitable industry to ever exist.
Albertans should not forget that we pay for these subsidies with reduced funding for health care, education, municipal transfers and all our other public services. That is not what we elect our government to do.

Net Zero Now Clears Key Milestone on 320-Acre Energy Campus, Accelerating Alberta's Low-Carbon Data Center Infrastructure Build Out
CALGARY, AB, July 4, 2025 /CNW/ - Net Zero Now Ltd. ("Net Zero") is pleased to announce the completion of environmental studies on its first energy campus in Alberta, a 320-acre site specifically selected to meet the infrastructure requirements and locational preferences of both electricity generation and data centers. With data centers applying for 16,229MW of load capacity from the electricity grid in Alberta, and the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) imposing an interim large load connection limit of 1,200MW, Net Zero's energy campus is solving the most critical constraint in Canada's fastest-growing data center market: access to electricity where data centers want to operate. "As the AESO's large-load interconnection queue grew exponentially, we recognized the need for a fundamentally different approach to powering these large loads," said Scott Martin, Head of Energy at Net Zero. "We're giving hyperscale operators the ability to directly connect through a co-located energy campus, or contract with our energy campus virtually through the electricity grid in order to bring their own generation online and serve a pre-existing site." The 320-acre energy campus provides a speed-to-market and low-cost electricity supply solution that includes 400MW of base load electricity generation, power quality services, backup supply, and an accompanying data center campus, the renderings of which are pictured above. In addition to the focus on achieving a net zero carbon emission electricity supply, Net Zero will deploy net zero building techniques to reduce the embodied and operational carbon footprint of its data center structures which include: advanced insulation systems, sustainable materials, and energy-efficient construction practices. "While Alberta is not currently ranked as a top-tier global data center market, we expect that will change in the near future as investors and operators look at the favourable electricity cost, tax environment, and foreign exchange rate that comes with doing business in Alberta," said Logan Downing, Head of Carbon Strategy at Net Zero. "Many data center operators are reluctant to enter a new market due to a lack of electricity supply, local contacts, or regulatory experience. We provide fully-permitted construction-ready energy campuses that enable speed-to-market, low-cost electricity supply, and a best-in-class carbon intensity to accelerate Alberta's position in the rapidly growing AI industry." Net Zero's energy campuses will bring more electricity supply online to help keep electricity costs low for all Albertans and Alberta-based businesses, while also contributing new property tax revenue and jobs to the communities. Net Zero is pleased to see how the Alberta government has positioned itself as an attractive location for data centers by creating a stable political environment, focusing on reducing red tape, and creating pathways to establish meaningful connections with the communities and First Nations. As a result, Net Zero is also evaluating additional strategic sites across Alberta to meet the growing electricity demand from data center operators. Net Zero Now is building the infrastructure backbone of Canada's digital future. Our energy campuses enable the co-location of electricity generation and compute load, accelerating access to shovel-ready projects with low-cost electricity and net zero carbon emissions at strategic locations in Alberta.

Opinion: Alberta's clawback of federal disability benefits shameful
Article content Alberta is the only province or territory in Canada that is poised to claw back the $200 Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) from provincial disability income support (known in Alberta as AISH) recipients. Article content That's one out of 13. Article content Article content Back in March, Alberta's Minister of Seniors, Community and Social Services, Jason Nixon, announced this decision in this way: Article content 'Investments to support Albertans with disabilities include $1.64 billion allocated for the AISH program, which provides the highest core benefit rate amongst the provinces. The cost of AISH this year accounts for caseload growth and benefit rate increases of two per cent in the anticipated contributions from the federal government $200 to the Canadian Disability Benefit coming into effect in July 2025. Article content Article content The Canadian Disability Benefit will provide about $200 per month for eligible Canadians with disabilities. This benefit will be considered as non-exempt income for AISH recipients. This means that overall client income will remain the same. Again, I emphasize AISH rates are not changing in this budget. AISH clients will remain well above the federal benchmark income $1,804 per month that the feds encouraged provinces to meet. Article content Article content For some perspective on that, with the AISH remaining at $1,901 per month, that is $554 higher than Manitoba, $533 higher than Ontario, $515 higher than Saskatchewan, and $417 higher than B.C. In fact, I would say we strongly encourage other provinces to raise their rates to be equal to Alberta's ambition.' Article content It is very easy for those unfamiliar with the CDB and its intended purpose to miss the shocking importance of what Minister Nixon is announcing here. According to the Canada Disability Benefit Act, the purposes of the CDB are 'to reduce poverty and to support the financial security of working-age persons with disabilities.' Article content Article content In essence, therefore, what the Government of Alberta is doing by declaring that the CDB will be considered 'non-exempt income' for AISH recipients is clawing back the $200 CDB from AISH recipients and thereby thwarting the explicit purpose of the CDB. Article content I therefore contend that, ethically and morally, this act can only be classified as theft from disabled Albertans. For his part, however, Minister Nixon simply classifies the CDB as the federal government's 'contribution' to AISH, implying that it is the province that is more in need of assistance than Albertans with disabilities. Article content What's more, he ends his statement by reiterating his framing of his government as an exemplar among the provinces in terms of providing support for disabled people, thus seeking to circumvent any focus on the fact that he had just announced the government's clawback of the CDB from Albertans receiving AISH.
