Energy Realities


Canada's Federal Government's Madness on full display

December 02, 2024

You cannot buy this kind of entertainment. The unfortunate part of a clown show is that Canada's leaders are not the only ones having full-energy policy madness on display. This morning, the Energy Realities podcast gang is ready after a Thanksgiving break to bring the fun side of a sad story. We have Irina Slav from Bulgaria, Tammy Nemeth from the UK, and David Blackmon and Stu Turley in Texas. We will have some great stories and will take questions from the live audience on X, YouTube, and LinkedIn.
