Every moral panic, every divisive issue is like 3 degrees of separation from US oil money.
Huge shocker! Turns out Alberta separatism is actually just a US-backed psy-op for oil and the people pushing it don’t actually want to be independent.

Elon speaks of "hard men" but does the work of Wormtongue.
Yes, Lord of the Rings is about how you must trust the “hard men.” Just as Narnia is about an evil lion. And the New Testament tells a tale of a wimp who wouldn’t fight back. Next week on “fascists read classics,” we’ll meet tech visionary George Orwell…

I'm lucky to have independent grocery stores near my house. They focus on Canadian products and are often priced the same or less than American products at chain stores. While buy-Canadian sentiments are awesome, I hope this kind of marketing research doesn't get abused by Loblaws.
/2 About 76 per cent of respondents said they would pay the extra money to ensure the products are Canadian. To push the theory further, Narrative Research posed the question with even higher prices: $140 for Canada-only groceries and $100 for some being from the U.S.

Courtenay, BC. A socialist dystopia of street calming and protected bike lanes.
There is plenty of work still to be done but I am encouraged by the gradual street narrowing and safe bike lane projects added each year in the city.

Sharing this again as Danielle Smith proposes an ambiguous new pipeline to BC's coast with the implied backing of Trans Mountain crown corporation.
The US gas companies treat Northern BC like Afghanistan, and Smith's new proposal sounds like more of the same.

Weird how we figured out socialized medicine but socialized mail is just too much. Whenever I see news like this I look up Loblaws and Rogers' net income; it sure seems like we could dial up the socialism a bit and solve a lot of problems.

Some brands have invested wisely in EV tech and have successful EV programs, while NA and Japanese brands mostly have not. Backing off from EV policy chooses winners and losers, and makes winners out of losers.
Within 20 minutes we learned that the Prime Minister of Canada - who is a former UN climate envoy - will be fast tracking new oil and gas pipelines and pausing the EV mandate 🫠

Meta builds giant datacenter in rural Louisiana. Utility to add 2.3 GW of gas turbines to power it, if they can source the turbines in a sold-out global market.
And just to be sure, the Louisiana Legislature passed a new law that adds natural gas to the definition of green energy...
Climate anyone?

American auto makers that can't make EVs are the same ones that can't even make hatchbacks, sedans, wagons or vans. But that only applies to North America. We are their dumb money demographic insulated by tariffs.

“In China, EV car sales grew 40 per cent in 2024 alone, and now 1 in 4 cars sold worldwide in 2025 will be electric. Global oil demand will peak this decade.

I would like to see Critchley as an MP, defeating PP aside. She seems like a great person to have in Parliament.
Bonnie Critchley — a rookie politician running as an Independent against Pierre Poilievre, a gay woman running in rural Alberta, and her candidacy raising a vile ruckus online — is an unlikely giant killer.

People keep telling me that EV infrastructure "just isn't there yet" despite not driving an EV and not knowing anything about charging stations. In BC, fast chargers are all over the place: in rest-areas, at gas stations, on campuses, at parks, and so on. Every highway has coverage.
