Canadians ridicule Trudeau gov’t after ‘renewable’ energy failure nearly ends in catastrophe

‘How many would be dead in Alberta tonight if all they had was wind turbines and solar panels to rely on? -31 in Edmonton tonight,’ one popular Canadian social media user said during last weekend’s cold snap.

(LifeSiteNews) –– An extreme cold snap which led to near minus 50 degrees Celsius (58 degrees Fahrenheit) temperatures in much of Western Canada over the weekend, and nearly caused one province’s power grid to collapse due to a failure of wind and solar power, saw many call out Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government’s green energy agenda which is looking to phase out carbon-based power in favor of “renewables.”
“How many would be dead in Alberta tonight if all they had was wind turbines and solar panels to rely on? -31 in Edmonton tonight,” posted X, formerly Twitter, user John Lee Pettimore.

“@s_guilbeault (Trudeau’s Miniter of Environment Steven Guilbeault) is an idiot and should be the first one to freeze.”
The cold snap became serious after the power grid in the province of Alberta neared collapse due to inadequate production from renewable sources such as solar and wind.
In response to the situation, the neighboring province of Saskatchewan, which was also facing the same cold snap, announced it would be providing Alberta with electricity to stabilize the grid.
Many, including Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, noted that the incident served as a stark reminder of the potential dangers of a looming federal mandate calling for an eventual end to oil and gas power production in favor of less reliable wind and solar power.
Popular Canadian X user and Albertan “@Martyupnorth_2” said the near collapse of Alberta’s power grid shows the folly of investing “trillions” into so-called renewable power.
“I want Steven Guilbeault to come to Alberta next week, and explain how forcing us to invest $30 trillion in wind and solar to convert our power grid to NetZero will save the planet,” wrote @Martyupnorth_2 on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday.
