Carney's Carbon Footprint
Carney's Carbon Footprint@CarneyEmissions·
Mark just flew from Ottawa to Calgary, to sign a piece of paper promising emissions reductions. This one-way trip emitted more CO2 than the average Canadian does in three years. The flight burned almost 5,000L of jet fuel, and the total carbon emissions were over 11,000kg.

We received the paperwork from Alto High-Speed Rail regarding our dairy farm today, and with it came a profound sense of grief. What is being presented as progress carries devastating consequences for the people and places rooted in this land, farms, family homes, wildlife habitats, small businesses, churches, and even cemeteries stand in the path of irreversible change. For many of us in Eastern Ontario, this is far more than an infrastructure project. It is the beginning of a deep psychological and emotional loss. This project is expected to cost Canadians billions of dollars amounting to roughly $10,000 per Canadian. Massive 16 foot barriers and fencing will divide communities, block side roads and destroy the countryside that generations of families have called home. Current projections suggest it may not be fully paid off until 2093 leaving future generations responsible for the cost. In our case, the proposed route leaves us without enough productive land to properly feed our cows and sustain our dairy operation. 500 farms will be removed, the impact on farming families will be severe and long-lasting. All Canadians deserve to be fully informed about what this project truly means not just in terms of transportation, but in terms of the human cost, these are not empty fields on a map. They are livelihoods, ecosystems, histories, and communities that cannot be replaced once they are gone. Source: Melissa McPhee Ontario 🇨🇦 Please contact your MP to stop this train. Thank you.

@REWoman "horticultural" vinegar is ~25% vinegar. I buy "industrial" vinegar that's ~50-75% vinegar (very strong fumes that you won't want to breath in) and dilute it 50-50 myself in an old spray bottle (like from windex). Boiling water works great if just interlock-brick weeds.

Most people look at the oil price. The forward curve already told you everything weeks ago A quick primer first. When the contract trades BELOW spot, that's backwardation. The market is saying: the commodity today is worth more than the commodity later. It signals tight supply, low inventories, or acute stress in the physical market. When backwardation appears in crude, it usually means one of 3 things: Inventories are falling fast Supply is disrupted Buyers are paying a premium to secure barrels now All 3 now are currently true. Since the Iran war began, Brent has been in deep backwardation. The Strait of Hormuz disruption removed 20% of global seaborne oil from normal routing overnight. Buyers scrambling for non-Gulf barrels pushed spot prices up sharply while deferred contracts stayed lower, pricing in an eventual resolution. That spread IS the market's fear, quantified. There's also a roll yield implication. In backwardation, rolling a long position earns the roll you sell the more expensive expiring contract and buy the cheaper next one. It's one reason commodity funds have outperformed during the war period beyond just the spot price move. Now watch what happens to the curve if the Iran MoU gets signed. Spot premiums compress. The curve flattens or flips toward contango. That move will show up in the forward curve before it shows up in headlines. The curve has already voted. The question is what it votes next.

This mechanic is sitting in the shop getting hit with the exact question every used-car shopper secretly wonders: “Would you actually buy these cars at this many miles?” His quick, no-BS answers (complete with those perfect surprised faces and little laughs) are pure gold — super honest and based on real shop experience. He ends it perfectly by saying the best car over 100,000 miles is simply a well taken care of car. My dad was a mechanic, and I found myself nodding along and saying yes to almost all the same ones he did — it was a cool moment of agreement! Did you agree with everything he said? Drop your yeses, nos, and hot takes below.

An MIT professor taught the same math course for 62 years, and the day he retired, students from every country on earth showed up online to watch him give his final lecture. I opened the playlist at 2am and ended up watching three of them back to back. His name is Gilbert Strang. The course is MIT 18.06 Linear Algebra. Every machine learning engineer, every data scientist, every quant, every self-taught programmer who actually understands how AI works learned the math from this one man. Most of them never set foot on MIT's campus. They just opened a free playlist on YouTube and let him teach. Here's the story almost nobody tells you. Strang joined the MIT math faculty in 1962. He retired in 2023. That is 61 years of standing at the same chalkboard teaching the same subject to 18-year-olds. The interesting part is what he did when MIT launched OpenCourseWare in 2002. Most professors were skeptical. They worried that putting their lectures online would make their classrooms irrelevant. Strang did not hesitate. He said his life's mission was to open mathematics to students everywhere. He filmed every lecture and gave it away. The decision quietly changed how the world learns math. For decades linear algebra was taught the wrong way. Professors started with abstract vector spaces and proofs about field axioms. Students drowned in the abstraction. Most never recovered. They walked out believing they were bad at math when they had simply been taught in an order that nobody's brain is built to absorb. Strang inverted the entire curriculum. He started with matrix multiplication. Something you can write down on paper. Something you can compute by hand. Something you can see. Then he showed his students that everything else in linear algebra eigenvectors, singular value decomposition, orthogonality, the four fundamental subspaces was just a different lens for understanding what the matrix was actually doing under the hood. His rule was strict. If a student could not explain a concept using a concrete 3 by 3 example, that student did not actually understand the concept yet. The abstraction was supposed to come last, not first. The intuition was the foundation. The proofs were just confirmation that the intuition was correct. The second thing Strang changed was the classroom itself. He said please and thank you to his students. Every single lecture. He paused mid-derivation to ask "am I OK?" to check if anyone was lost. He never used the word "obviously" or "trivially" because he knew exactly what those words do to a student who is one step behind. He treated 19-year-olds learning math for the first time the way he treated his own colleagues. With patience. With respect. With the assumption that they belonged in the room. For 62 years. The result is something that has never happened in the history of education. A single math professor became the default teacher of his subject for the entire planet. Universities in India, China, Brazil, Nigeria, every country with a computer science department, started telling their own students to just watch Strang's lectures. The University of Illinois revised its linear algebra course to do almost no in-person lecturing. The reason was honest. The professor said they could not compete with the videos. His final lecture was in May 2023. The auditorium was packed with students who had never met him before. He walked to the chalkboard, taught for an hour, and at the end the entire room stood and applauded. He looked confused for a moment, like he genuinely did not understand why they were cheering. Then he smiled and waved them off and walked out. His written comment under the YouTube video of that final lecture was four sentences long. He said teaching had been a wonderful life. He said he was grateful to everyone who saw the importance of linear algebra. He said the movement of teaching it well would continue because it was right. That was it. No book promotion. No farewell speech. No legacy management. The man whose teaching is the foundation of modern AI just thanked the audience and went home. 20 million views. Zero ego. The entire engine of the AI revolution sits on top of math that millions of people learned for free from one quiet professor in Cambridge. The course is still on MIT OpenCourseWare. Every lecture, every problem set, every exam, every solution. Free. The most important math course of the 21st century is sitting one click away from you. Most people will never open it.

“Conventional investors don’t believe that you can make 10% annual returns outside the US, but the unconventional investors of the strategy know that this is not true because they have witnessed evidence to the contrary.” In our 1Q 2026 Smead International Value Strategy newsletter, @SmeadCap CEO and Portfolio Manager, @Cole_Smead, and Chairman and CIO, Bill Smead, explain why succeeding in today’s market often requires thinking differently from the crowd. They highlight areas where they see opportunity, particularly in energy and European banks, which are not being capitalized on by the “conventional” investor of today.

I urge you all to read this well presented analysis of Diana Carney’s & her background, work history as well as associations !
Vote Canada@VoteCanadaCom

Diana Carney, wife of Canada’s unelected de-facto Prime Minister Mark Carney @MarkJCarney presents herself as an economist and environmental advocate, but a closer look reveals a web of corruption and shady behavior that taints her public image. Born into a wealthy British pig farming family, educated at Oxford and the University of Pennsylvania, and married to a powerful banker-turned-politician since 1994, her elite status contrasts sharply with the questionable company she keeps and the ethically dubious situations she’s entangled in. As a Senior Advisor at the Eurasia Group 2021, she’s surrounded by figures whose pasts scream corruption, and her own actions suggest a woman comfortable in the shadows of privilege and power, far from the principled eco-warrior she claims to be. Her professional circle at the Eurasia Group is a cesspool of compromised individuals, starting with Evan Solomon, a colleague who was fired from CBC in 2015 after the Toronto Star exposed him for secretly brokering art sales and pocketing $300,000 in commissions, a blatant conflict of interest that shattered his credibility. Then there’s Gerald Butts @gmbutts the Vice Chairman, who resigned as Justin Trudeau’s Principal Secretary in 2019 amid the SNC-Lavalin scandal, accused of pressuring the Attorney General to intervene in a criminal case against SNC-Lavalin, an act that violated the Conflict of Interest Act and reeked of political interference. These are not casual acquaintances but key players in her professional world, suggesting she’s either oblivious to their stench or complicit in their orbit of ethical rot. The Eurasia Group itself, where she holds a prominent role, has gorged on over $1.5 million in Canadian government contracts between 2017 and 2025, including a $446,210 deal in February 2025 from Natural Resources Canada for “geopolitical research.” With her husband now leading the nation, this smells like a textbook conflict of interest, a cozy arrangement where public funds flow to an organization tied to the Prime Minister’s spouse, all while she plays the part of a climate policy expert. Beyond her professional ties, Diana Carney’s social connections are equally damning. In 2013, she and Mark were photographed hobnobbing with Ghislaine Maxwell at the Wilderness Festival in Oxfordshire, hosted at the estate of Carney’s sister-in-law, Lady Tania Rotherwick, a close friend of Maxwell’s. Maxwell, later convicted of child sex trafficking and tied to Jeffrey Epstein, was already linked to Epstein’s crimes by then, his 2008-2009 prison stint for sexual offenses a public stain. Posing with Maxwell, even before her conviction, shows a reckless disregard for the company she keeps, a snapshot of privilege mingling with depravity that undermines any moral high ground she might claim. This isn’t a one-off; it’s a glimpse into a world where the Carneys brushed shoulders with the darkest elements of high society, unperturbed by the implications. Her public behavior only deepens the portrait of a corrupt, classless figure. In 2013, she tweeted about struggling to find housing in London, whining, “Maybe I’ll be able to find a place to live in London after all,” despite a £250,000 annual housing allowance, roughly $7,700 a week. This came as Britain grappled with economic hardship and soaring unemployment, earning her scathing rebuke from Labour MP John Mann and widespread public outrage for her tone-deaf entitlement. It’s not just a slip; it’s a window into a woman so steeped in wealth that she can’t fathom how her words land, a stark contrast to the eco-conscious image she peddles. Her environmental advocacy, running “Eco Products that Work” and railing against tea bags and bottled water, feels like a hollow performance when you consider her privileged perch, a rich woman lecturing the masses while her husband’s career and her own affiliations rake in millions. The Eurasia Group’s government contracts are the rotten cherry on top.

1. Expanding government control over private property and businesses through regulations or nationalization. 2. Erosion of free speech and individual rights, with increasing censorship and surveillance. 3. Centralized economic planning that prioritizes state redistribution over market freedoms.

@REWoman @401_da_sarpanch Sadly... Governments are corrupted & Electoral Districts have become monetized. Many "elected" representatives are just entrepreneurs that work for the highest bidder. The good news is one riding "association" can raise money to buy the rep back from the competing association.🤷‍♂️
