It’s time for another provincewide televised address from Premier Scott Moe on the COVID-19 pandemic … if for no other reason than to remind Moe, himself, that we are all still in a pandemic and that it is the good people of Saskatchewan to whom he should be speaking.
Of late, the Saskatchewan premier seems far, far more interested in talking to like-minded politicians and lobby groups from elsewhere.

On the last day in which he publicly addressed the province in an afternoon provincewide COVID-19 press conference, Moe appeared preoccupied by his Zoom meeting earlier that day with the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) in which he bizarrely hinted large industrial employees could be prioritized for vaccinations. This confusing tidbit, the Saskatchewan premier later explained, was j
iPolitics By Alan Freeman. Published on Apr 15, 2021 5:39pm Energy East was never really about supplying Canadian refineries. It was just another desperate effort to find overseas markets for increasingly unmarketable oil sands bitumen.
A constant refrain of the Alberta oil patch for years has been that there was something fundamentally twisted about Canada importing crude oil for its refineries in Eastern Canada while the West was awash with the stuff.
That argument was always a mainstay of the public justification for Energy East, TransCanada’s $15.7-billion pipeline that was mercifully killed in 2017 but still survives in the imaginations of some politicians, lobbyists and ill-informed commentators. Why should refineries in Quebec import oil from dastardly regimes in places like Saudi Arabia, Russia, Azerbaijan, Algeria and Angola when they could get “ethical” oil from Alberta and Saskatchewan, went the refrain.

TC Energy Increasing Natural Gas Exports to Western U.S. with Pipeline Expansions
Capacity additions underway in annual stages on three TC Energy Corp. pipeline subsidiaries are set to increase Canadian natural gas exports to California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington during 2022 and 2023.
The coordinated expansions, a package titled West Path, pioneer a switch to quiet growth that TC President Francois Poirier outlined at a spring investment forum held by the Scotiabank CAPP Energy Symposium that was cosponsored by the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers.
Poirier said the Calgary pipeline and power conglomerate plans to avoid repeating environmental and political “regulatory risk” that aborted high-profile proposals for new conduits, Energy East across Canada and Keystone XL in the United States.
The natural gas storage report from the EIA for the week ending April 2nd indicated that the amount of natural gas held in underground storage in the US rose by 20 billion cubic feet to 1,784 billion cubic feet by the end of the week, which left our gas supplies 235 billion cubic feet, or 11.6% below the 2,019 billion cubic feet that were in storage on April 2nd of last year, and 36 billion cubic feet, or 1.3% below the five-year average of 1,808 billion cubic feet of natural gas that have been in storage as of the 2nd of April in recent years..the 20 billion cubic feet that were added to US natural gas storage this week was less than the average forecast of a 27 billion cubic foot addition from an S&P Global Platts survey of analysts, and was also less than the 30 billion cubic feet added to natural gas storage during the corresponding week of a year earlier, but was well more than the average addition of 8 billion cubic feet of natural gas that have typically been injected into nat
