Great song to go with the truth of it.
We may need oil these days to make the crop, but the crop enables everything.
There are no cities without it.

Obama dining with Canadian PM Mark Carney tonight, while Buttigieg and Slotkin fly in tomorrow for a closed-door Liberal Party strategy session?
This isn’t a coincidence…it’s a deliberate middle finger to the Trump administration and the American people.
Mark Carney and U.S. Democrats openly coordinating against an elected government.
The disrespect is off the charts

So OBAMA is dining with Carney tonight. Tomorrow 2 potential 2028 Democratic presidential contenders are joining CARNEY at a Liberal strategy session; Buttigieg & Slotkin 👀 Just IMAGINE the outrage if this was on the Conservative Republican side

@box_glen ...The average Canadian household drops roughly $280 per month on fast food
…If that amount was invested in the stock during The Lost Trudeau Era, 10 years, that would amount to spending $33.5k and now worth $90k while kicking out $3500 in dividend income per year

A guy is 28.
He has:
• $80k in his 401k
• $20k in savings
• $30k Bitcoin
• Zero debt
But he wants to buy a $65k car
He says “I have to enjoy my life”
What would you tell him?

We were outside a government-funded refugee hotel doing a story when we noticed a man getting into a brand new SUV.
We asked him how he could afford it... turns out, he used to live in the hotel. Now the government pays for his car and all his living expenses.
Your tax dollars at work.

@Rubadub3 My policies will increase birthrates just not fully. But thats ok because the people who wont be having kids with my policies are left wingers.
English
Solutions:
- Income splitting for married couples (encourages marriage -> more births)
- allow parents to use their dependent children's basic personal amounts
- Remove all GIS/OAS from childless people
- Pro-natalist propaganda
- Increase CCB

Jaskirat Singh Sidhu had 70 safety violations in the 11 days leading up to the Humboldt massacre. 16 were killed and 13 more were seriously injured. He served 4 years. On Friday a federal judge granted him a temporary deferral from deportation pending an appeal.

EXCLUSIVE: Humboldt Father Speaks Out, Exposes Why Sidhu Still Avoids Deportation: “He Only Cares About Himself" (WARNING: The contents of this story may be extremely upsetting or distressing to some viewers.) On April 6, 2018, a double-trailer semi-truck driven by Jaskirat Singh Sidhu blew through a stop sign at a rural intersection in Saskatchewan, Canada, and collided with a bus carrying the Humboldt Broncos players and staff, injuring 13 people and killing 16, most of them teenagers, including Chris Joseph’s son, Jaxon. After pleading guilty and serving roughly four years in prison, Sidhu has been on full parole since 2023. However, he has continued to dominate headlines, fighting tooth and nail not to be deported back to India. Jaxon’s father, Chris Joseph — a former NHL player and firefighter — says Sidhu is not the remorseful man the media portrays him to be, but a "selfish" one who affected his life “in the worst way possible,” and who continues to do so by seeking an exemption from the law after having destroyed 29 families. “The last time I ran my fingers through my son’s hair was in a morgue. He was cold, and he was beat up,” says Joseph, responding to the truck driver whose reckless driving resulted in the death of Joseph’s son Jaxon, along with 15 others, yet who continues to fight against deportation to India on the grounds that he does not want to be separated from his own son. While most Canadians agree with his deportation order, some columnists and politicians argue that he should be forgiven and not be separated from his family. “You tell me which child of yours you want to give up, and I will be the keyboard warrior hoping for forgiveness. It’s not about vindication — it’s about what’s right and what’s wrong, and the future of our country,” says Joseph, arguing that giving Sidhu an exemption from the law would set the wrong precedent for other unqualified drivers and signal that Canadian lives do not matter. “Everybody has told him he should be deported — the judge, the CBSA, the Immigration and Refugee Board, the Federal Court of Appeal — and he still keeps trying, because he is looking out for himself and he really doesn’t care about anybody else,” says Joseph, urging politicians not to interfere with the judicial process and to allow him to be deported as he is supposed to be. In this exclusive interview with @MediaBezirgan, Chris Joseph addresses those who advocate against Sidhu's deportation, discusses the corruption within the trucking industry, and explains why he no longer trusts the mainstream media when it comes to this story.

Why are we torturing this man? Just let him stay. He's done everything our criminal justice system has asked of him.

Nor do we steal ideas.
We create them.
We don’t need Liberals, pundits nor media giving us advice on “how to win” by firing our leader.

@rupasubramanya …Employers can’t run a job like it’s disposable and expect people to treat it like a priority…
English
Great, you can produce a chart. But you’re describing a supply shock. I’m describing a labour market that doesn’t clear, where youth unemployment is high and employers (not the bad actors) still can’t fill jobs. Those aren’t the same thing.
The issue is matching, not headcount. Labour markets are segmented, skills, hours, and geography don’t line up, and wages aren’t adjusting enough to close the gap. More workers doesn’t fix a market where matches don’t form.
And the supply only story is politically convenient for conservatives. It fits neatly into an anti mass migration narrative without grappling with the underlying frictions, and no it doesn't mean hire more low skilled TFWs.
Richard Dias@RichardDias_CFA
Canadian Youth Unemployment is in the news again. The data speaks for itself. Youth participation rates were stable for years until this government changed immigration rules to favour younger, less-experienced people (see BOC paper bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/upl… )

@Rubadub3 @wyatt_claypool @MBrant75 Not true. They weren’t raised with any grit or ethics.
Hiring them and firing them when they lie would be a start.
English
Yeah it’s called lying.
I feel for business owners who are heavily over-taxed and regulated.
But the idea that the youth won’t do these jobs is ridiculous. The difference is that TFW’s will always be able to out-compete youth every time because they’re tolerance levels for low wages and unreasonable hours is very high because their priorities are completely different than an actual citizen who needs to be able to build up the money to buy a house in Canada, not somebody who can rent a hole in the wall apartment and stock away money to bring home to a country where the spending power of a Canadian minimum wage is far higher.
It’s not really a free market when there is always going to be a country where people are so poor that they are willing to come to Canada to take the jobs of the youth as long as they get to take some of that money back to their home country where it’s worth 10x more.
I say all this as somebody who worked the same liquor store supervisor job for over five years, barely above minimum wage the entire time, never getting a pay increase.
Rupa Subramanya@rupasubramanya
I used to think Canada’s youth unemployment problem was all about the temporary foreign worker program, until I started talking to small business owners who can’t get young people to show up. My latest. thefp.com/p/this-week-in…
