Fascinating about the fireworks. Seemed to skirt on this important part though, that they had plenty of warning and for whatever reason just couldn’t restructure to be eligible for more funding:

And that comes down to the deficit vs economic growth. Is the USA on the path to stabilizing debt to GDP while retaining the huge deficits funding both tax cuts and spending on industrial programs by growing the economy fast enough. From afar we look at the benefits but don’t consider the cost.

Absence of lines is not absence of space for lanes. Lots of room for two travel lanes. I suspect they’re saying that there is no free lunch, that there will be change and shifting.

Thanks to @roryjohnston.bsky.social via the other place. WCS (oilsands) prices, white hardisty, blue houston, no update yet to reflect yesterday's or today's tariff news. The spread changing a lot should reflect market expectations of tariff incidence on Canadian producers vs American consumers.

Another round of Vancouver coffee. El Panal Guatemala from Elysian. A light roast. Low acidity, perfect for drinking black (and that’s speaking as someone partial to café au lait).

Always nice to visit Bridgehead on Sparks in Ottawa. Even on a slow day there is someone you know, a conversation you can almost overhear, and a comfy chair to enjoy a dark roast in.

Honolulu Coffee Vancouver Sasha/Shasta blend. Medium, more oily but not too oily. Could be a contender for the regular rotation.

Grinds fluffy - a good sign for lots of extraction. Light in the cup. Official notes are how they’ve emphasized body more and can feel that. Don’t get the rhubarb notes but that’s probably on my breakfast accompaniment of skyr. A delightful light roast to start the day.
