@DiaryofaFixer The yanks have more people to sit and monitor activity than Canadians do. Its as simple as that. We could employ AI to do the same tasks, flag accounts and activities for staff to actually investigate would help!

Another taxpayer-funded CBC “About That” explainer that somehow explains everything—except what actually matters: “Why Middle East disruptions hit Canadian gas prices.” @CBCNews half truths isn't journalism or honest reporting. So yes, the CBC is right about one thing: oil is globally priced. A disruption in the Middle East will push prices up everywhere, including Canada. But as usual, that’s where the CBC's analysis stops —right at the most convenient point. And here’s where CBC quietly distorts the picture: They present Canada as if it operates like a global oil supplier alongside the US, Saudi Arabia, and others. It doesn’t. Canada is part of the global market but not in the way the CBC implies: -98% of our oil exports go to a single customer: the United States -Canada is not a diversified global supplier; -And we don’t function like a strategic swing producer So while CBC frames Canada as a participant in “global supply,” the reality is we behave far more like a captive exporter than a global player. And that distinction matters because it explains everything they leave out next. Because Canadians aren’t just paying for “global supply shocks.” We’re paying for a system Canada chose and the Liberals built –and it goes beyond pipelines, it starts with approval. The CBC is wrong again. Canadians aren’t passive victims of global markets. We made ourselves vulnerable through: infrastructure constraints, political and regulatory decisions and a failure to build a coherent domestic energy system. But here’s what CBC won’t tell you about why your region gas prices look the way they do —and there's a big swing from coast to coast. Fir e.g. in Vancouver, the vast majority of what you pay at the pump has nothing to do with the Middle East. Never will. It’s taxes. ✅️federal carbon tax ✅️provincial fuel tax ✅️TransLink tax ✅️GST layered on top of all of it In many cases, taxes alone account for $0.50–$1.00+ per litre. So that's not global markets, that's your governments stacking, compounding, and intentional. Then there’s the structural reality CBC avoids: British Columbia doesn’t benefit the way it should from Canadian oil. Limited refining capacity and pipeline constraints mean Vancouver often pays prices tied to Pacific/global markets –not Alberta supply sitting right next door. share.google/AOAzVyLsBubASA… #cdnpoli #bcpoli #Alberta #abpoli #oil #trade #energy #cbc #taxes

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

In 8 months, the only update to come out of Wab Kinew’s new U.S. trade rep is: Flagpoles are too expensive to ship. Mind you, the NDP are paying him nearly $400K/year of taxpayer dollars. Not a single trade deal or MOU for Manitoba to date. If all that’s stopping him is office decor, I will personally send him my office’s flagpole. #mbpoli #cdnpoli
