I think I'm making this more confusing than it needs to be. Sorry.

Reliance Industries is planning a $300 billion oil refinery in Texas after receiving a Venezuelan oil license from the Trump admin. In 2024, it paid the Trump Org $10 million for a Mumbai project, raising concerns about possible corruption. citizensforethics.org/reports-invest…

Every 1 million tonnes of lost urea production in the world in 2026 reduces grain production by 7-8 million tonnes. A sobering thought.

His message is loud and clear: My technology will take political capital away from one of your greatest enemies—liberal women with degrees—and give one of your favorite demographics to patronize—working class men—more political power to transfer to you. trib.al/QboNowU

@TheBreakdownAB This is the only investigative journalism in Alberta. Staples, Guenter, Bell, Braid are just paid shills for the UCP who coincidentally are employed by post media!

The ultimate hypocrisy exposed. Finkelstein reveals that Iran and every other Middle Eastern state agreed to a weapons of mass destruction free zone. The only country blocking it and refusing to sign the non proliferation treaty is Israel.

Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale apparently still believes the Minab elementary school was hit by a "failed Iranian missile," a belief that is not supported by *any accounts*

Absolute bombshell. John Bolton admits the administration completely forgot to secure the Strait of Hormuz before starting a war. He reveals the Secretary of Energy didn't even think it would affect oil prices. The incompetence of these warmongers is staggering.

2/6 🔍 REALITY CHECK: Do the Swiss really "not print money"? The Claim: Complaining about inflation, @PierrePoilievre tells Rogan: "We need to do what the Swiss do, which is they don't print money... We would all be better if we operated like the Swiss." The Reality: FALSE. The Swiss are famous for printing massive amounts of money. Poilievre frames Switzerland as a "hard money" utopia, but he fundamentally misrepresents how their central bank actually operates. The Money Printer: Between 2009 and 2021, the Swiss National Bank (SNB) created (printed) hundreds of billions of new francs to buy foreign assets like Apple and Microsoft stocks to keep their currency from getting too strong. The Scale: By 2021, the SNB’s balance sheet exploded to over 1 Trillion francs—roughly 100% of Switzerland's entire annual GDP. The "Sticker Shock" Context: Even if Canada copied their bank, would Canadians want Swiss prices? Switzerland is the most expensive country in Europe. In 2026, Zurich and Geneva are consistently ranked among the world's most expensive cities. A simple McDonald's meal costs roughly CHF 13 (~$20 CAD), and average health insurance for one adult is nearly CHF 400 (~$620 CAD) per month. The Bottom Line: Switzerland manages inflation well, but the claim that they "don't print money" is a total fabrication. Furthermore, their "model" comes with a cost of living that would give the average Canadian massive sticker shock. 👇 Receipts: The Claim: Watch it at 53:31 - 53:40 in the Joe Rogan interview. The Reality: Swiss National Bank (SNB) official data: Balance sheet expanded from CHF 85B in 2007 to over CHF 1,000B by 2021. The Reality: 2026 Global Cost of Living Index: Switzerland leads Europe in highest costs.

Since the liberation of Cuba in 1959 from US imperialism. The USA has bombed 25 countries, invaded 13 countries and killed at least 20m people. The 'evil' Cuba has bombed no one, invaded no one, and killed no one. ¡Viva Cuba!

Heartbreaking. Little Ukrainian boy lost his father who was protecting him and his country from the murderous Russian invaders. Kids shouldn't experience such horrors. Never forget. Never forgive.

@prairiecentrist It's just another provocative subject that gives her another opportunity to strut her supposed power. She's got an ego like Trump's. I think Albertans and Canadians are a little fed up with her desire to take away our rights of self-determination. @Fuikatsan @ABDanielleSmith

In what fucking universe is she in a position to determine it's "too many?" I'm getting angry about this.

@ThomasHall17 hahahahahahaha Sorry about that. I did a little more checking to see what this was all about. I actually asked Copilot for some further explanations and I see there's general information and then there's medical advice, so I guess how she might word her new law will be important.

@Fujikatsan I don't know how to respond except to say that you are not making any sense.

That legislation violates the doctor's freedom of speech, of course. Why does Smith always act like the governor of a Republican State? Alberta to ban doctors from offering euthanasia before a patient asks — unlike rest of Canada msn.com/en-ca/news/can…

Chemotherapy kills cancer cells. It also kills the immune cells that kill cancer cells. Most of oncology has accepted that trade-off. @DrPatrick never did. He built Anktiva, an IL-15 agonist that activates and expands your NK cells and T cells without triggering the suppressive cells that protect tumors. Saudi Arabia just approved it for lung cancer. First country in the world to do so. I've been using IL-15 intratumorally in combination with other immunotherapy agents for years. What Dr. Soon-Shiong is doing at the systemic level, we're doing at the tumor level. The future of cancer treatment isn't about finding better poisons. It's about unlocking what's already inside you.

@ThomasHall17 You're absolutely right, if the State was proposing such a law. But, the way you worded it, it sounded like it was just to do with the offering of euthanasia, nothing else. No?

@Fujikatsan You missed my point. If the State forbids a doctor to give medical advice to their patient, the Charter has been violated. I was making a legal point. I don't care about your "concerns".

@ChrisVarcoe A Conservative report, no doubt! One that leaves out any reference to climate change needs. @Fujikatsan

What's the case for new pipelines? New report finds $31B economic lift — & 112,000 jobs – for Canada from new oil pipelines “I can’t think of anything else that would give such a large jolt to the CDN economy over a 10-yr period,” says ATB's Mark Parsons. calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…

POILIEVRE: "It is true that Canada has a trade surplus with the United States of America for one reason. Because we sell the United States an enormous quantity of underpriced natural resources which you then feed into your industry and turn around at massive profits to your people."

The lawyer representing the man who was acquitted of murder in the death of Det-Const. Jeffrey Northrup is now calling for a public inquiry, noting the OPP report released Tuesday is an unjust attempt to rewrite the facts. toronto.citynews.ca/2026/03/19/law…

A 19-year-old in ICE custody killed himself inside the Glades County detention center on Monday. That's 13 deaths in ICE detention in 2026 — average 1 every 4 days. The Biden admin canceled ICE's contract with Glades in 2022, citing egregious violations. Trump restarted it.

One of many, many jarring statistics from our @statnews survey of NIH-funded researchers: Among scientists who'd sought outside money to fill funding gaps, 63% said they didn't get enough support to sustain their work. Chart by @jaspar
