“The amount of work required to simplify the Raptor engine, internalize secondary flow paths and add regenerative cooling for exposed components was staggering. As a result Raptor 3 doesn’t require any heat shield, eliminating heat shield mass & complexity, as well as the fire suppression system. It is also lighter, has more thrust and has higher efficiency than Raptor 2. Truly, a work of art.” ~ @elonmusk

Liberals just turned the cameras **OFF** in committee meetings. Conservative MP Andrew Scheer just called it exactly what it is: “Absolutely undemocratic and an abuse of power by the Carney Liberal government.” They don’t want you watching. They don’t want transparency. They just want to ram through their agenda in the dark. This is what a stolen majority looks like — hiding the grift so Canadians can’t see it live. Canada deserves better than this shady, anti-democratic nonsense. Canada First — not Liberal secrecy and abuse of power. 🔥🇨🇦 Video Credit @BeautifulCana1 👇🏻

🚨 BREAKING Carney just announced $270 million more for Ukraine. In Armenia. At a European summit. Canada’s total to Ukraine: $25.8 BILLION Remember, just this week he also cut: $1.2 billion from mental health $600 million from long-term care $500 million from rare disease drugs These are cuts to seniors and sick Canadians at home. Let’s not forget that 2 million Canadians are using food banks & youth unemployment is at 18% He said “all of Canada is behind Ukraine.” All of Canada is also behind on groceries.

160th SOAR Black Hawk offloads operators on a rooftop without needing to land. The precision and skill of these elite pilots never fails to impress. They are simply the best at what they do.

WHOA! Canada’s integrity commissioner issued an emergency warning this week. Federal wrongdoing complaints: 638 in 2025. Whistleblowers waiting months, sometimes over a year, JUST TO HAVE THEIR FILES OPENED. Her own words: “I cannot guarantee that allegations of wrongdoing and reprisal will be investigated in a timely manner.” Some complaints “may never see the light of day.” She needs her budget DOUBLED to function. Now look at what Carney did the moment he got his majority: Restructured all parliamentary committees so Liberals control them. Shut down the PrescribeIT $300M investigation on day one. Let the Parliamentary Budget Officer’s contract expire. Turned off cameras at the Health Committee. The integrity office is drowning in complaints. Carney is systematically dismantling every mechanism that could act back on them. And don’t you dare say it’s incompetence. This is by design.

Two economists just published a mathematical proof that AI will destroy the economy. Not might. Not could. Will — if nothing changes. The paper is called "The AI Layoff Trap." Published March 2, 2026. Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Boston University. Peer reviewed. Mathematically modeled. The conclusion is one sentence. "At the limit, firms automate their way to boundless productivity and zero demand." An economy that produces everything. And sells it to nobody. Here is how you get there. A company fires 500 workers and replaces them with AI. A competitor fires 700 to keep up. Another fires 1,000. Every company is behaving rationally. Every company is following the incentives correctly. And every company is building a trap for itself. Because the workers who were fired were also customers. When they lose their jobs faster than the economy can absorb them, they stop spending. Consumer demand falls. Companies respond by cutting costs — which means automating more workers — which means less spending — which means more falling demand — which means more automation. The loop has no natural exit. The researchers tested every proposed solution. Universal basic income. Capital income taxes. Worker equity participation. Upskilling programs. Corporate coordination agreements. Every single one failed in the model. The only intervention that worked: a Pigouvian automation tax — a per-task levy charged every time a company replaces a human with AI, forcing them to price in the demand they are destroying before they pull the trigger. No government has implemented this. No major economy is seriously discussing it. Meanwhile the numbers are already tracking the curve. 100,000 tech workers laid off in 2025. 92,000 more in the first months of 2026. Jack Dorsey fired half of Block's workforce and said publicly: "Within the next year, the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion." Nobody is doing anything wrong. Companies are following their incentives perfectly. That is exactly the problem. Rational behavior. At scale. Simultaneously. With no mechanism to stop it. Two economists built the math. The math leads to one place. Source: Falk & Tsoukalas · Wharton School + Boston University · arxiv.org/pdf/2603.20617

Raptor 3 is engineering art

The viral framing of UAE’s OPEC exit is that Abu Dhabi will flood the market and crash the price. Read the pipeline math. The framing is wrong. The Habshan-Fujairah pipeline, which is UAE’s only crude bypass around the Strait of Hormuz, has nameplate capacity of one point five million barrels per day, expandable to one point eight million in surge. Lloyd’s List and Energy Intelligence both confirm the limit. In March 2026, with quotas suspended in everything but name and Hormuz throughput collapsed by Iranian enforcement, ADCOP utilization ran around seventy-one percent according to CNBC and Argus, leaving roughly four hundred forty thousand barrels per day of headroom. The second Jebel Dhanna to Fujairah pipeline that would add another one point five million remains pre-FID. No construction has started. Energy Intelligence dates the planning to October 2024 with a 2026 to 2027 operational target that has not been confirmed since. The UAE cannot flood the market. UAE can add roughly four hundred to seven hundred thousand barrels per day in 2026 against ADNOC’s five-million-barrel sustainable capacity target. The constraint is steel in the ground, not OPEC discipline. That constraint is what makes the OPEC exit interesting. If UAE could ramp two million barrels per day tomorrow, the OPEC exit would be a price-war declaration. Saudi Arabia would respond by flooding from its two-to-three-million-barrel spare capacity, Brent would crash through eighty dollars, and ADNOC’s revenue base would collapse along with everyone else’s. UAE knows this. The exit was timed precisely because Fujairah pipeline limits cap the ramp at exactly the level needed to monetize incremental headroom without triggering the response. The exit is calibrated, not aggressive. The exit is also not about oil at all. Mubadala holds approximately three hundred eighty-five billion in assets under management. ADQ holds another two hundred forty billion. ADIA holds approximately one trillion. MGX, which spun out of Mubadala and ADQ, made the largest sovereign-fund commitment to AI infrastructure in history, including the Stargate venture with OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank, and the forty-billion-dollar Aligned Data Centers acquisition. The Global AI Infrastructure Partnership with BlackRock and Microsoft passed one hundred billion in committed capital before April. Abu Dhabi is building the sovereign capital base for the AI infrastructure buildout, the way Riyadh built the sovereign capital base for the oil settlement system after the 1974 petrodollar arrangement. Same architecture. New commodity. The OPEC exit is the financing event, not the production event. Removing quota constraints lets ADNOC reprice the marginal barrel at full market value. The incremental revenue funds MGX deployments, Stargate phase one, the rare-earth and semiconductor partnerships, and the data-center expansion. The Fujairah pipeline limit is a feature, not a bug. It caps the production ramp at the level that maximizes revenue without triggering Saudi war. The capped ramp generates the cash flow. The cash flow capitalizes the AI franchise. The thesis falsifies if UAE accelerates the second Fujairah pipeline FID toward a three-million-barrel bypass that only makes sense as a price-war instrument, or if Saudi retaliates with a 2020-style production flood forcing UAE into defensive ramping. Abu Dhabi is not exiting OPEC to ramp oil. Abu Dhabi is exiting OPEC to liquidate the oil franchise into AI. The constraint is the calibration. The pipeline is the financing instrument. The exit is the strategy. The flood is the misread. The pivot is the trade. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

🚨BREAKING: Anthropic just published a study mapping exactly which jobs its own AI is replacing right now. The workers most at risk are not who anyone expected. They are older. They are more educated. They earn 47% more than average. And they are nearly four times more likely to hold a graduate degree than the workers AI is not touching. The argument is straightforward. Anthropic built a new metric called "observed exposure." Not what AI could theoretically do. What it is actually doing right now in professional settings, measured against millions of real Claude conversations from enterprise users. For computer and math workers, AI is theoretically capable of handling 94% of their tasks. It is currently handling 33% of them. For office and administrative roles, theoretical capability is 90%. Current observed usage is 40%. The gap between what AI can do and what it is already doing is enormous. The researchers are explicit about what comes next. As capabilities improve and adoption deepens, the red area grows to fill the blue. The demographic finding is what makes the paper uncomfortable. The most AI-exposed workers earn 47% more on average than the least exposed group. They are more likely to be female. They are more likely to be college educated. This is not a story about warehouse workers or truck drivers. It is a story about lawyers, financial analysts, market researchers, and software developers. The exact group whose education was supposed to insulate them. Computer programmers showed the highest observed AI exposure at 74.5%. Customer service representatives at 70.1%. Data entry keyers at 67.1%. Medical record specialists at 66.7%. Market research analysts and marketing specialists at 64.8%. These are not predictions. These are measurements of work that is already happening on AI platforms right now. Then there is the pipeline finding nobody is talking about loudly enough. Anthropic's researchers found a 14% decline in the job-finding rate for workers aged 22 to 25 in highly exposed occupations since ChatGPT launched. No comparable effect for workers over 25. Entry-level roles were never just jobs. They were the training ground where junior analysts became senior analysts, where junior lawyers learned how arguments hold together. If that layer disappears, nobody has answered the question of where the next generation of senior professionals comes from. The detail buried in the paper that most coverage missed: 30% of American workers have zero AI exposure at all. Cooks. Mechanics. Bartenders. Dishwashers. The technology reshaping professional careers is completely irrelevant to roughly a third of the workforce. The divide is no longer between high skill and low skill. It is between presence and absence. The company publishing this study is the same company selling the AI doing the replacing. Anthropic had every commercial incentive to soften these findings. They published them anyway. If you spent four years and $200,000 on a degree to land a white collar career, the company that builds Claude just confirmed your job is more exposed than the bartender pouring drinks at your graduation party.

Parents "absolutely don't" deserve to have rights over their children, Nova Scotia Education Minister Brandan Maguire says, as he voices support for secret gender transitions at schools and taxpayer-funded gender reassignment surgeries.

BREAKING @KellyDeRidderMP outlines how the Liberals have been actively trying to recruit her, to cross the floor. She outlines how they do it. How they engage in the conversations. And what they offered her. THIS IS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DEMOCRACY. It’s all about power

Holly! Did Jordan Peterson ever had Mark Carney pinned. Must watch. "His international career has collapsed in failure. So now where is he? Might as well go to Canada. You can tell Canadians you are an outsiders and there will be some kind of economic revolution...you can do that while lying about your actual goals; which are net zero." Absolutely nailed it.
