The UAE is building a ~1.4MM Bbl/d, 370km pipeline costing ~$4BN USD, started in 2025 and onstream in 2027. Canada aims to potentially build a 1MM Bbl/d pipeline, to cost ~$40BN, take 8+years, and is tying it to an obsolete/costly $30BN Pathways project. See the difference???

@arthurbrooks Hey Arthur, I am 61 and just picked up your book. Perhaps I am also graduating to another chapter. Many, many thanks for this important piece of work.
English
Graduation looks like an ending — it really isn't. It's the start of a harder, more important question: not just what they're going to do, but what their life is actually for. I’ve been thinking about that a lot in recent years, and it's part of why I wrote my new book, The Meaning of Your Life.
If you have a graduate in your life and you’re looking for something worth giving them, consider getting them a copy.

@FoodProfessor There really needs to be some sort of quality control testing. This sort of fraud is just too easy.

Fake maple syrup saga: Adonis is the latest grocer to pull fraudulent maple syrup cans from its shelves. IGA and Farm Boy are also affected by the Quebec scandal. Thousands of cans are suspected to contain sugar cane syrup instead of real maple syrup.

@stephen_taylor What about the federal budget? Am I missing something? How come no one is talking about this?
English
I used AI and dozens of subagents to read the Alberta budget docs and I produced an extensive data-rich website with
- analysis for 25 sectors of the economy
- guides for 26 different audiences
- 40 lobbyist stakeholder notes
Done in 30 minutes.

🔎So that’s where it went! 🖌️
P a u l ◉@SkylineReport
Fun Fact: There’s a federal website that exists only because courts forced the White House to put it back online. Twice. Yes, really. The site is apportionment-public.max.gov. Congress passed a law requiring the Office of Management and Budget to publicly show how it controls federal spending within 2 days of making decisions. Translation: Congress approves the money, but OMB decides when agencies are allowed to use it. For decades, those decisions were completely secret. Then it gets wild. In March 2025, OMB Director Russell Vought just… took the site offline. His excuse? Transparency supposedly had a “chilling effect” on White House decision-making. GAO said that was illegal. Watchdog groups sued. A federal judge said OMB was relying on an “extravagant and unsupported theory of presidential power” and ordered the site restored. OMB appealed. A second court shut that down too. The site came back in August 2025 — not because OMB wanted it to, but because courts made them. Plot twist: even after restoring it, OMB started sneaking in secret footnotes pointing to hidden “spend plans” that weren’t publicly posted. In January 2026, another federal judge caught them again and ruled they were still violating the law. Why this matters: this boring little database is how the public catches the White House illegally withholding money Congress already approved. In 2025 alone, OMB withheld over $410 billion. Without this site, Americans would have no visibility into executive branch defiance of Congress. The irony? The site loads like it’s powered by a hamster on a treadmill. That’s not sabotage. That’s just federal IT. About 90% of government websites fail basic performance standards because they run on legacy systems from the early 2000s. Bottom line: this plain, slow, ugly database required an act of Congress, multiple federal court orders, and ongoing legal supervision — all so Americans can see how their own money is actually being controlled. Which tells you exactly why someone tried so hard to make it disappear.

I think that we should protect Canada’s sovereignty even if the government won’t. So I did something about it.

There are people on Facebook joking about what colour of Chinese spy car to buy.

@hollyanndoan @dkelland1 @UniforTheUnion Yes, agreed although with the automotive industry representing less than 1% of the Canadian economy, I’m not sure what the big deal is.

@dkelland1 Very bad news for the Canadian auto sector. @UniforTheUnion

@acoyne The Canadian auto industry represents less than 1% of the Canadian economy. Let’s give it the attention it deserves.
