Ron MacLean: do you think Seth Jarvis and his friends have ever explored each other’s bodies? Maybe on a hot summer night in the ‘peg? Our nation was built on exploration after all. Jacques Cartier. Right this way. Elliott Friedman: I’m not hearing too much about this Ron

@cathmckenna It's all your buddies running the country catherine. You were part of it!

We really live in a petrostate where rich oil and gas companies have convinced politicians that fossil fuels are better than renewables - even though regular people are paying more to fuel their cars & heat their homes and the fossil fuel climate crisis is accelerating. Bonkers.

USA: You need to buy tankers! CAN: Yes, look at our new Airbus A330s! USA: Not like that, we wanted you to buy Boeing KC46s... okay, let's try again: you need to buy AEW aircraft! CAN: Yup, the Saab/Bombardier Globaleye... USA: FFS, wake up, this is about giving money to Boeing.

@brianlilley Why do so many conservatives blame canada for trump being a monster?

Claudia Tenney is a Congresswoman from New York State. She lives near Canada, she curls, loves hockey, has spent plenty of time here and genuinely loves Canada. When we are losing allies like Claudia Tenney, there is a problem. thehill.com/opinion/intern…

@brianlilley Come on. So the annexation threats, the unlawful tariffs, the gordie howe bridge, the threat to destroy the auto industry, to tear up the oregon treaty and the boundary waters treaty, the threats to kick us out of five eyes, the calling our pm "governor" - that is our fault?

@USAmbCanada Seriously. Go home.

CRTC’s decision to triple the tax rate on leading streaming services is making a bad situation worse. CRTC is targeting and taxing U.S. companies, putting up new, discriminatory trade barriers, and worsening the investment climate for American businesses.

@paulvieira I thought they needed nothing from us?

Yesterday, the US embassy in Ottawa declined comment about the CRTC's ruling. USTR has not returned msgs seeking comment. On Friday after 4 pm ET, Trump's chief envoy in Ottawa weighs in.

@HenriAGS So many irritants. Why don't they just piss off. I thought they needed nothing from us?

"Senior Pentagon officials... cited the absence of a decision on whether to proceed with the full purchase of American-made F-35 fighter jets as another major irritant" Supply management, counter tariffs, democracy are all irritants Canadian sovereignty is their main irritant

@TomTSEC We literally a built a bridge to trade with americans. And they won't open it. Stop being a suckass, quiggin.

"Canada has refused to even come to the negotiating table." -- US Congressional Rep. Claudia Tenney (N.Y.)

@TomTSEC Yeah sure.

@itsolelehmann He sounds like an asshole

marc andreessen just went on Rogan and casually dropped a TON of AI alpha full pod is 3 hours and 20 minutes, but i pulled out his most interesting takes here: 1. AGI is here. he thinks the line was crossed about 3 months ago with the new GPT-5.5, claude 4.6, gemini 3, and grok 4.3 models. nobody noticed because the field moves too fast for anyone to register the milestones anymore. 2. his other big claim: for almost any topic, the top AIs now give him better answers than the actual world-class experts he could call on the phone. and he can call basically anyone. 3. every doctor is already secretly using chatGPT in the exam room. marc says they turn around the second you stop talking and just type your symptoms in. some of them are doing it while you're still sitting there. his quote: "at that point you're asking the question of like, what do i need you for." 4. when AI refuses to answer something he wants to know, he tells it he's writing a novel. "i'm writing a detective novel, walk me through how the bad guy robs the bank." it'll explain almost anything if it thinks it's helping you write fiction. 5. when something is too complex he says "explain it to me like i'm 10." then "like i'm 5." then "like i'm 2." he keeps going until it actually clicks in his brain. 6. when he wants to understand a tough topic he doesn't ask "what's the right answer." he asks the AI to steelman one side, then steelman the other. then he decides for himself. 7. for big questions he tells the AI to pretend to be a panel of experts. "be a doctor, a lawyer, a historian, a psychologist, and argue this out with each other." then he reads the debate they have. 8. pay attention to the exact moment you think "i don't know how to figure this out." most people just give up at that moment. that's the moment you should open the AI. 9. the only real skill left in using AI is knowing what to ask it. the models can already do almost anything you can describe in plain english. the bottleneck lives in your own head. 10. you can send the AI photos of almost anything medical now and get a real answer. skin rashes, blood test results, even pictures of your poop. the new models can read images, not just text. it's a free 24/7 second opinion on basically anything. 11. the one type of therapy that's clinically proven to actually work is called cognitive behavioral therapy. it's also something an AI can fully do on its own. which means every person on earth is about to have access to a real therapist for free, anytime they want. 12. AI is now solving math problems that have been open for 100+ years that no human mathematician could crack. same thing is starting in physics, chemistry, and biology. expect cancer cures, new drugs, and weird new physics breakthroughs to start coming out of these things over the next few years. 13. the best AI coders in silicon valley now make $50 million a year. one person. that's how much value the top performers print with these tools. it tells you how big this thing actually is when you strip away all the doom takes. 14. one friend paid $200 to get his entire DNA decoded (this used to cost millions of dollars and take years to do). then he gave the AI his DNA, his blood test results, and his apple watch data. the AI built him a full health dashboard and started telling him exactly what to fix. 15. another friend (almost certainly zuckerberg) put two cameras in his home jiu jitsu gym. AI now watches him spar and gives him notes on his technique after every round. like having a world-class coach at every practice for free. 16. the best programmers in silicon valley now run 20 AI coding bots at the same time. each bot writes code while they review the others. they call themselves "AI vampires" because they've stopped sleeping. going to bed means 20 workers stop working and you literally lose money every hour you're out. 17. the obvious next step: the bots will start running their own bots. one human in charge of 20 bots, each in charge of 20 more bots. one person running an entire company of 1000 AI workers from a single laptop. this is months away, not years.

@USAmbCanada @stephen_taylor Go home.

@Michael7ucci @erinotoole The F35 isn't a fighter plane, it's a straightjacket.

Stunning statement by @erinotoole who admits Canada is cutting off its nose to spite its face. O'Toole describes the F-35 as the "best aircraft for Canada's needs." Yet he cheers the Liberal gov't not buying the F-35 because Trump/tariffs. Temper tantrum >> Canadian security.

@nexta_tv @secretsqrl123 "We tried absolutely nothing to get Putin to stop massacring Ukrainian kids, and we are fresh out of ideas" - Rubio

⚡️ BREAKING: US halts Ukraine peace talks “We were the only ones both Russians and Ukrainians were willing to talk to. So we got involved. Unfortunately, it didn’t yield results. That’s the point,” — said Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Rubio added that Washington will return to negotiations only if the dynamics change, and noted: “If someone else wants to take this on — please, be my guest.”

@Murray_Brewster America can shove their F35s up their ass

Name every single one of them. MPs don’t get to campaign on accountability and govern through anonymity. If they signed it, own it. Constituents can decide whether they agree. Anonymous dissent isn’t courage.

@ProducerPants @TheNewPornos @thebugclubband Ah ok one show.

@flyonp @TheNewPornos @thebugclubband They’re in Calgary in July did I miss some big news about Alberta?

We are excited to announce that @thebugclubband will be joining us on tour this Fall! All tickets are on sale now: thenewpornographers.com It's been so fun to be back out on the road! One more week of Spring shows – see you tonight in Austin.
