The extant major oil export pipelines (Keystone, TMX, Enbridge) were at 93% of capacity in the last month of public data: Keystone at 100%, Enb at 96%, and TMX at 75%. "Excess" capacity of about 350k bbl/d across the three lines. That's ~ AB forecast production growth to 2033.

Pretty wild Q1 2025 housing starts data from CMHC. #yyc led the large cities in starts - both in per capita starts, but also amazingly, total starts. #cdnpoli

The orange crash. Showing the NDP in low single digits in Toronto-area ridings, and not much better in BC seats where they used to get in 20s. (Oh and Jagmeet Singh a distant 3rd in his riding)

The S&P 500 has lost 10.5% of its value in two days. Since 1980, we've only seen larger declines three other times: the '87 crash, Nov 2008, and Mar 2020. And those weren't due to policy choices. This may be the largest self-imposed destruction of wealth ever.

How bad was today's stock market decline? Of the 11,406 trading days since January 1980, only 29 had larger declines.

I remember joining Twitter. Lot of changes in the last 15 years….

The most important point is here.

No political statement about commitment to economic growth means anything if it's from a politician who supports supply management.

Is the entire Canadian economy worth less than a dairy farm?

Where might U.S. tariffs have the greatest effect in Canada? Here's an experimental estimate of exports to the U.S. per worker by census division. #cdnecon
