Ottawa and Alberta Forge Landmark Energy Accord

Prime Minister Mark Carney, left, meets with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith in Calgary on Thursday.   In a move that could redefine Canada’s energy landscape, Ottawa and Alberta have signed a new energy deal aimed at strengthening cooperation between the federal government and the province. The agreement signals a major shift in their often-contentious relationship, focusing on shared priorities such as clean energy investment, emissions reduction, and economic growth. The deal outlines commitments to expand renewable energy projects, modernize infrastructure, and support workers transitioning from traditional oil and gas sectors. Both sides emphasized that the accord is designed to balance Alberta’s economic reliance on energy production with Ottawa’s national climate goals. Observers note that this agreement could mark the beginning of a more collaborative era, reducing political friction and positioning Canada as a stronger player in the global energy transition.

Tropical Storm Debby Brings Deluge and Flooding Threat to Southeastern United States

 

Tropical Storm Debby, which made landfall in Florida as a Category 1 hurricane, is now moving northeast over Georgia, posing a major threat of flooding and storm surges for the southeastern United States. As of now, at least five deaths have been confirmed, including a 13-year-old boy from Gainesville, Florida, a 19-year-old man from southern Georgia, and a 64-year-old truck driver from Mississippi.

The storm is expected to produce potentially historic rainfall totals of 10 to 20 inches, with maximum amounts of up to 30 inches in some areas. The National Hurricane Center has issued warnings of “catastrophic flooding” across eastern Georgia, the coastal plain of South Carolina, and southeast North Carolina.

More than 150,000 customers in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina are currently without power due to Debby’s impact. Additionally, authorities in Georgia’s Chatham County are closely monitoring low-lying areas likely to flood.

Stay safe and informed as this slow-moving storm continues to affect the region!
