Everyone needs to be reminded that a not-for-profit grocery chain exists in Canada: Co-op, and they’re across western Canada. Prices are comparable to for-profit chains. Also Saskatchewan has a publicly owned telecoms company, SaskTel. It is a competitive market and some people still choose for-profit providers. These are good options but not magical ones! They don’t solve poverty and hunger and they definitely aren’t 35% cheaper.

Avi Lewis on CBC claims "We're talking about, for instance, with groceries developing a chain of 50 publicly owned and operated grocery stores across the country with six or seven regional distribution hubs that would be able to provide groceries to Canadians 30 to 45% cheaper than what they're paying right now." Then he claims "To just blast this idea out there on social media platforms and we got thousands of responses from conservatives who were interested in this idea of a public option for groceries." Margins at grocery stores are notoriously low in the 3–5% range. Looks like Avi's strategy is to out BS Mark Carney, Master BS'er @avilewis

Why does it take 45 minutes + to get bags @FlyYEG? @WestJet get more crews working or something. This is ridiculous (and consistently happening). 6 hour flight, kids have school tomorrow and we are sitting here for almost an hour waiting already. Does anyone care about service?

Tbh, the strangest thing about this whole mess is the fact that Iran has managed to close Hormuz AND continue to export oil, and the only substantive US response has been to relax sanctions on Iran, allowing it to make more money than it has in years.
Shashank Joshi@shashj

Absolutely remarkable. "Iran is now earning nearly twice as much from oil sales each day as it did before American and Israeli bombs started falling on February 28th. It may be pummelled on the battlefield, but the regime is winning the energy war." economist.com/finance-and-ec…

If you haven’t seen The ⁦@Watchmenmusic⁩ live, it’s a must! It’s not often a band sounds better live than on cd, but they pull it off every single time. Amazing, pure Canadian talent! What a night!

It’s absolutely hilarious - that the people (NDP) so angry at the wealthy, elected someone who owns not one but 2 homes. One located in a wealthy part of Vancouver to add to the irony.

No Canadian flag. But a flag of a non existent state that is the raison d’être of banned terror groups like Hamas. But they regard Canada as an “illegitimate settler state” characterized by white supremacy and genocide. Tommy Douglas must be rolling over in his grave.

Of course there’s a Palestinian flag waving on stage. It’s Avi’s NDP now.

Oilers Jack Roslovic has been an absolute steal for Edmonton at just $1.5 million this season. 20 goals and 12 assists in 61 games. But since it’s a positive story for the Oilers, you won’t hear much about it on X, podcasts, or sports media. Sssshhh 🤫

Might need a brand change @nenshi - distancing from federal party. My opinion: we need a middle ground where ideas from either side are acknowledged not summarily shut down on party lines.
Naheed Nenshi@nenshi

Today, the federal New Democratic Party selected its new leader. It is clear that the direction of the federal party under this new leader, someone who openly cheered for the defeat of the Alberta NDP government, is not in the interests of Alberta. Last year, Alberta’s New Democrats voted overwhelmingly to make membership in the federal party optional. Many thousands of our provincial members, including myself, are not members of the federal party. We are a big tent and welcome the support of people who vote for every federal party. We believe in Alberta and we believe in Canadian energy and the good jobs it creates. We believe in more pipelines and in reducing emissions. We believe in strong public services and a strong jobs-driven economy to help pay for them. This is what we are fighting for every day. Albertans deserve federal leaders who understand the importance of Alberta and our essential role in the federation. Our focus is not on what the federal NDP says or does. Our fight is with Danielle Smith and the separatist UCP. Albertans deserve a better government, and we are here to be that better government.

I'm a typical Canadian centrist. I think the Liberals sometimes have a good ideas, I think the Conservatives sometimes have good ideas. I think the New Democrats always have really bad ideas. #cdnpoli

The idea that housing prices simply need to come down to fix affordability misses the bigger picture. If you actually want homes people can afford, you have to look at the full cost stack, not just the final price. What about lowering personal taxes so families can qualify for homes in the first place? What about rethinking Net Zero mandates that add significant upfront cost without improving affordability? What about shrinking the layers of government that slow everything down? What about cutting red tape that delays projects and drives up prices? And yes, what about every level of government taking a hard look at the fees they add to each home? You cannot regulate your way to affordability while adding cost at every step. If we are serious about solving this, we need to stop pretending price is the problem and start fixing what is driving it.

Maybe the US shouldn't have slapped a 50% tariff on Canadian aluminum. Too late, Canada found other customers. Good luck American manufacturers.

BREAKING: The UAE’s state-owned aluminum conglomerate, Emirates ⁠Global ⁠Aluminum, says that its Al Taweelah production base suffered “significant damage” from Iranian attacks on Abu Dhabi’s Khalifa Economic Zone earlier today. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/hf4uyn

That sounds a lot easier than building a $16B carbon capture project, getting @Dave_Eby's and FN consent, and then going through Canada's regulatory process for two years.

US Ambassador: “Put a pipeline down to the border… if Alberta wanted us to build a pipeline to the west coast, because they said we’ve got another 2M barrels of oil per day that we want to ship to Asia and Japan, I would think that we’d be very open to having that discussion”.

The Alberta Rockies snowpack continues to grow... At this site in the headwaters of the Elbow River west of Calgary, we have more than double the snow water equivalent than we had last year at this time. It's also the second-largest snowpack since records began in the mid 80s.

Trump on Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince MBS today: “He didn’t think he would be kissing my ass. He really didn’t. And now he has to be nice to me. He better be nice to me.” This is how the President of the United States describes America’s most important Gulf ally. The same Saudi Arabia that: — Cut oil production by 6.7 million barrels — Whose energy infrastructure Iran threatened to destroy — Who the US needs to keep oil markets stable — Who Trump is asking to join the Iran war Diplomatic relationships are built over decades. Trump just described the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia as someone kissing his body parts — on camera — while asking him for military cooperation. France got an 8 out of 10. Japan got Pearl Harbor. Saudi Arabia got this. The isolation of America is not just a policy failure. It is a daily practice.

If the approval of the Keystone pipeline south to the U.S., BEFORE a pipeline to the West and to Asia like the TMX, doesn't prove to you the 'Elbows Up' Anti-U.S. rhetoric was just vapid and cynical electioneering, nothing will.
