UPDATE WITH VIDEO FROM RED DEER CHAMBER – Trump’s Pipeline Green Light Gets Thumbs Up From Red Deer Chamber

President Trump’s Executive Orders to reconsider the Keystone XL Pipeline is getting positive reaction from the Red Deer & District Chamber of Commerce.

Policy and Advocacy Manager Reg Warkentin says “This is great news for Central Alberta and the entire province.” He says it’s “key for market access, will attract investment and maximize production.” Warkentin also feels this project would “close the price differential between Western Canada Select and West Texas Intermediate.” He adds, it would be great if more refining could be done in Alberta but acknowledges the cost involved in doing that and the refining capacity that already exists in the Gulf of Mexico. Warkentin says this announcement is a “win-win for Canada and the U.S.” He says for just his second day in office, Donald Trump has sent a strong message that he is “Pro-Business”.

Both the Alberta and Canadian Government’s reacted positively as well. The Keystone XL project is expected to produce as many as 4,500 construction jobs, half of them in Canada. All approvals are in place on the Canadian side. President Trump wants to renegotiate the terms of the project with TransCanada and demand pipeline companies source steel used for American construction from American manufacturers. 

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley issued this statement Tuesday “The United States is an extremely valuable customer of ours, and any step that allows us to better support the needs of our largest customer is good news. This project is going to create good jobs here in Alberta. And that’s my focus – support our workers, create good jobs, and diversify our economy. More energy workers at our rural hotels is a good thing. More equipment out in the field is a good thing. Busier restaurants and hardware stores across Alberta is a good thing.

While discussions around Keystone XL progress, we are focused on building Canadian pipelines to Canadian tidewater.
As any small business owner will tell you, you can’t only have one customer. You have got to diversify. While we value the United States as a key trading partner, the world is changing fast. We need to exert more control over our own future, especially our energy future. Getting a Canadian pipeline built to Canadian tidewater is the best way for our world-class energy producers to sell our oil at world-class prices on the global market. And that’s what we want – a better deal for our industry, for our economy, and for the future stability of our economy.
We welcome this news from the United States. We will support our energy companies however we can to make sure this pipeline moves forward, because at the end of the day, it’s about making sure that average families and the workers of our province have good jobs.”

Notley’s full Press Conference can be seen here:

The project however also faces opposition from some Environmental groups, First Nations and landowners along the proposed route. It stretches roughly 1,900 kilometres from Hardisty in southeast Alberta, to Steele City Nebraska where it would hook up to the existing Keystone Pipeline. Oil would be carried from Hardisty to refineries near Houston, Texas. Officials say the Keystone XL Pipeline project would carry 830,000 barrels of oil per day into the US when fully operational.

RFK Jr. says Hep B vaccine is linked to 1,135% higher autism rate

They got rid of all the older children essentially and just had younger children who were too young to be diagnosed and they stratified that, stratified the data

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found newborn babies who received the Hepatitis B vaccine had 1,135-percent higher autism rates than those who did not or received it later in life, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Tucker Carlson recently. However, the CDC practiced “trickery” in its studies on autism so as not to implicate vaccines, Kennedy said.

RFK Jr., who is the current Secretary of Health and Human Services, said the CDC buried the results by manipulating the data. Kennedy has pledged to find the causes of autism, with a particular focus on the role vaccines may play in the rise in rates in the past decades.

The Hepatitis B shot is required by nearly every state in the U.S. for children to attend school, day care, or both. The CDC recommends the jab for all babies at birth, regardless of whether their mother has Hep B, which is easily diagnosable and commonly spread through sexual activity, piercings, and tattoos.

“They kept the study secret and then they manipulated it through five different iterations to try to bury the link and we know how they did it – they got rid of all the older children essentially and just had younger children who were too young to be diagnosed and they stratified that, stratified the data,” Kennedy told Carlson for an episode of the commentator’s podcast. “And they did a lot of other tricks and all of those studies were the subject of those kind of that kind of trickery.”

But now, Kennedy said, the CDC will be conducting real and honest scientific research that follows the highest standards of evidence.

“We’re going to do real science,” Kennedy said. “We’re going to make the databases public for the first time.”

He said the CDC will be compiling records from variety of sources to allow researchers to do better studies on vaccines.

“We’re going to make this data available for independent scientists so everybody can look at it,” the HHS secretary said.

Health and Human Services also said it has put out grant requests for scientists who want to study the issue further.

Carlson asked if the answers would “differ from status quo kind of thinking.”

“I think they will,” Kennedy said. He continued on to say that people “need to stop trusting the experts.”

“We were told at the beginning of COVID ‘don’t look at any data yourself, don’t do any investigation yourself, just trust the experts,”‘ he said.

In a democracy, Kennedy said, we have the “obligation” to “do our own research.”

“That’s the way it should be done,” Kennedy said.

He also reiterated that HHS will return to “gold standard science” and publish the results so everyone can review them.

Elon Musk slams Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill,’ calls for new political party

The Tesla CEO warned that Trump’s $5 trillion plan erases DOGE’s cost-cutting gains, while threatening to unseat lawmakers who vote for it.

Elon Musk has reignited his feud with President Donald Trump by denouncing his “Big Beautiful Bill” in a string of social media posts, warning that it would add $5 trillion to the national debt.

“I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it,” Musk exclaimed in an X post last month.

Musk renewed his criticism Monday after weeks of public silence, shaming lawmakers who support it while vowing to unseat Republicans who vote for it.

“They’ll lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth,” he posted on X, while adding that they “should hang their heads in shame.”

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO also threatened to publish images branding those lawmakers as “liars.”

 

Trump responded on Truth Social by accusing Musk of hypocrisy. “He may get more subsidy than any human being in history,” the president wrote. “Without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa… BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED!!!”

Musk responded by saying that even subsidies to his own companies should be cut.

Before and after the 2024 presidential election, Musk spoke out about government subsidies, including ones for electric vehicles, stating that Tesla would benefit if they were eliminated.

This latest exchange marks a new escalation in the long-running and often unpredictable relationship between the two figures. Musk contributed more than $250 million to Trump’s reelection campaign and was later appointed to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which oversaw the termination of more than 120,000 federal employees.

Musk has argued that Trump’s new bill wipes out DOGE’s savings and reveals a deeper structural problem. “We live in a one-party country – the PORKY PIG PARTY!!” he wrote, arguing that the legislation should be knows as the “DEBT SLAVERY bill” before calling for a new political party “that actually cares about the people.”

In June, Musk deleted several inflammatory posts about the president, including one claiming that Trump was implicated in the Jeffrey Epstein files. He later acknowledged some of his comments “went too far.” Trump, in response, said the apology was “very nice.”

With the bill still under Senate review, the dispute underscores growing pressure on Trump from fiscal hardliners and tech-aligned conservatives – some of whom helped deliver his return to power. Cracks in the coalition may spell longer term problems for the Make America Great Again movement.
