Only 4,000 Calgarians watch CBC News. The reasons to lower CBC funding are no longer cultural but purely financial. I'd wager @the_lineca has higher market penetration than @CBC in Calgary with $0 tax payer dollars.

@dkennedyglans @nspector4 NATO is a defensive alliance. The public has not been presented with a case why this excursion is defensive in nature.

@nspector4 It may be impolite to say this, but is NATO finished? If members depend on the US to protect them but give America the finger when called on to provide naval support in the Strait of Hormuz….

Q: Do you not agree with Joe Biden in his assessment on Israel and Iran? 🇨🇦 Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre: “I think if Israel were to stop that genocidal, theocratic, unstable dictatorship from acquiring nuclear weapons, it would be a gift by the Jewish State to humanity.”

@nspector4 You should try out Richter's version if you haven't already.

Here is a list which is far from exhaustive of shootings, fire bombings, and vandalism of Jewish schools and of synagogues in Canada. It is a portrait of hate in Canada painted with fire and bullets. Schools Targeted by Gunfire 2024: BCM 4 seperate incidents 2023: Yeshiva Gedola Of Montreal 2023: Talmud Torah Elementary School Synagogues Targeted by Gunfire 2026: Temple Emanu-El 2026: BAYT 2026: Shaarei Shomayim Synagogues Targeted by Firebombing or Arson 2023: Congregation Beth Tikvah, twice 2024: Congregation Schara Tzedeck Synagogue 2024: Temple Sinai 2024: Tiferet Israel Congregation Schools with Vandalism and Property Damage 2024: Bais Chaya Mushka Girls Elementary School 2026: Kelvin High School Synagogues with Broken Windows and Property Damage 2024-2025: Kehillat Shaarei Torah, ten seperate occasions 2024: Pride of Israel 2024: Beth Tefilah 2026: Congregation Shaarey Zedek 2025: Shaar Shalom 2025: Beth Israel

@Rory_Johnston @rockcreekfreak If what I was a part of was a frantic rant then sign me up for the next one. Your presentation brought a lot of clarity for the upper and lower bounds. Thanks Rory!

@rockcreekfreak Thank so much, glad you enjoyed! Was in Calgary to present nuanced Venezuela analysis, and ended up doing a lot of frantic rants about Iran. 😅

It's truly insane that the Trump team has tied themselves in so many stupid knots re: the SPR that they're reportedly considering truly insane things—e.g., Treasury directly intervening in futs market—before they'd consider using the Reserve for the PRECISE REASON IT WAS CREATED

@BobBarrett1519 Thank you.

Well stated!

Recently I was asked for testimony by the Standing Committee for Natural Resources. Amongst the discourse on CNRL's Jackpine Mine decision, it remains relevant. Thanks to @ericnuttall and Dr. @ExnerPirot for their contributions.

BREAKING: Canadian Natural Resources, one of the largest independent crude oil and natural gas producers in the world, will PAUSE their $8.25 billion oil sands mine project because of "regulatory uncertainty". According to them, the federal industrial carbon tax has created "uncertainty and economic burden for a long-term growth investment." The truth is, anti-development Liberal laws are still in place and continue to push investors and builders to other countries with clearer rules and more predictability. Conservatives will repeal anti-development Liberal laws like the federal industrial carbon tax to make Canada self-reliance, sovereignty, united, and affordable.

Been there. Done that.

Canada should be able to replace all the LNG Germany was going to buy from Qatar. But Liberals killed 17 proposed LNG terminals in the last 11 years. Carney needs to repeal anti-development laws, get out of the way and permit private-sector investors and workers to fuel freedom with Canadian energy.

@Tejanobrown No pipe dope?

Doesn't get said often enough: Britain, America and the rest of the Anglosphere are amazing places. To live, to visit, to understand the history of humanity, to enjoy life. Even when the direction of travel is negative, it's still true that we are very lucky. 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇦🇺🇳🇿🇨🇦

@KLalh Hey maybe you can give my friend Jeff Johnson a hand in his nomination bid, (even though you couldn't vote for him) aboutjeffjohnson.ca

Underrated factor in why English-speaking countries have especially bad housing crises is their common law systems (adversarial and litigious) vs judge-led civil law systems elsewhere. Makes Anglo planning/permitting systems especially vulnerable to NIMBYs and other objections.

It'd be a pretty good moment to do something like this again.
