Following the May 17, 2018 Edmonton, Alberta screening of the award-winning "The Uncertainty Has Settled" - a film by the progressive, left-wing, independent Dutch filmmaker Marijn Poels' about the destructive outcomes of well intentioned climate and energy policies in Europe - Michelle Stirling comments on the potential impacts of similar policies to Alberta, based on what she saw in Poels' film. Poels made 50 films over the course of the nine years that he worked in developing nations, facing poverty, conflict and food insecurity; he returned home to Europe for a break in the countryside, only to be faced with food insecurity, heat-or-eat poverty and climate/energy policies destroying once rich, productive farm land... and driving farmers into crippling debt. He asks: "Are we doing the right thing?" See "The Uncertainty Has Settled" on VIMEO: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/theuncertaintyhassettled
