@PouliotDave @davidclement It’s not about French language survival it’s about petty bullshit. I remember a French Canadian women who teaches at Dalhousie sitting next to me in the exit row on the way back from Mexico City who spoke excellent English/ Spanish insist on getting the instructions in French. 🤷‍♂️

@davidclement Quebec must be seen as having a long history of being childish to you then. As it turns out, it’s the sum of these “ridicule” fights that made French survive in an ocean of English. Faite en ce que vous en voulez. Je termine en transmettant mes sympathies aux proches.

@grumpyscorates @christoaivalis @TheChaosWeeber @RealAlbanianPat and you're not advocating to put that money back into our crumbling healthcare system in other areas? or using that money to save us from ecological collapse? or doing literally anything meaningful about the housing crisis? no, that's too radical. 150 BILLION DOLLARS TO MILITARY

@cselley I live in the high park area - I can be at Pearson in 20 minutes. And since I mostly go non US international the Billy bishop is essentially useless to me.

As a European, I don’t understand how Trump and his failed administration remain in charge. I clearly don’t understand.

If I hear "boots on the ground" one more time, I'm going to scream. No military strategist am I, but I think if the Iranian regime is going to fall, boots and bombs alone ain't gonna do it. The Iranian people have to do it, and they're all understandably sheltering inside (see bombs, supra). That said, any diminution of Iran's military capacity helps Israel. That's a win for the Jewish state. Doesn't feel like Trump has a win he can market at the mid-terms, however. Boots or no boots.

@g_malkani @NoJetsTO It doesn’t. And nor should we want to for reasons you suggest - massive expansion means a whole host of problems for land side, and the destruction of what makes the waterfront great. If we want a real secondary airport in the area, look to Hamilton.

Agree. Expansion proposal in 2013 was around 4.5-5M max. Even if TPA wanted 3X ie 7.5-9M, don’t have enough parking, taxi staging area, transit, enough hangars at gate for peak passengers etc. don’t see how YTZ expansion solves Pearson’s future capacity constraints. @nojetsto

@ExtremeCen80240 @g_malkani @NoJetsTO Not in any quantity sufficient enough to force Pearson into any pricing competition

Eliminating the threat posed by a despotic regime that funds terror and hate groups, destabilizes democracies, and develops nuclear weapons to use against the West should have been popular. Future historians will analyze how Trump actually made all that unpopular.

@BorisBartlog @academic_la the shortfall is actually less than 20 million because Saudi and UAE can redirect some via pipelines away from the strait. it's more likes half that amount. BUT that's 6 weeks - 6 weeks goes by quick.

@academic_la 400mb is only 4-5 days of global consumption, but it covers 3 weeks of the 20mbpd shortfall. At this point I would worry less about the oil market than the crunch in some other products - natural gas, fertilizers and so on.

Senior oil executives Darren Woods (CEO of Exxon Mobil), Mike Wirth (CEO of Chevron), and Ryan Lance (CEO of ConocoPhillips) warned Trump officials: 1) The energy disruption from the Strait of Hormuz closure is likely to get worse, not stabilize 2) Prices could rise beyond the already elevated ~$99/barrel if speculators unexpectedly bid them up 3) Markets could face a shortage of refined products, not just crude oil 4) The administration's available options (releasing reserves, easing sanctions) can do little to stem the crisis. In other words, there is no immediate fix. 5) The executives reportedly described the global release of 400 million barrels of emergency reserves as a "small bandage on a large wound". It covers only about four days of global consumption. 6) Prolonged high prices could weigh on the global economy and destroy fuel demand; one executive warned "$120 oil will cause economic destruction." 7) If the Strait remains closed for more than a few weeks, Brent crude could realistically surge to $150 or even $200 per barrel in 2026. If oil prices reach the $150–$200 range and remain there for more than a few weeks, the global economy would likely enter a severe recession, because energy costs begin to consume a dangerous portion of global GDP

This exchange just happened on the Senate floor. Cornyn: “I don’t understand how the SAVE Act disenfranchises voters.” Durbin: “Happy to explain. Driver’s licenses don’t qualify under the bill. 50% of Americans don’t have passports.” Cornyn: “Why not just amend it?” Durbin: “When’s the last time the Senate actually amended a bill?” Silence. The SAVE Act requires passport-level documentation to register to vote. 50% of Americans don’t have a passport. The people least likely to have passports: the elderly, the poor, rural Americans, young first-time voters. The people most likely to have passports: wealthy Americans. This is not voter protection. This is voter selection. And when a senator suggested fixing it — his own colleague couldn’t name the last time the Senate amended anything. That’s the Senate in 2026.

@ElectionDigest @grumpyscorates @NoJetsTO And they’ll probably agree to massive fines if the contract is ever broken that make it virtually impossible for future governments to back out, like they did with the Threme Spa.

Welp, so much for the portlands development. Who wants to live under the path of jets? And that new convention centre is going to need some serious sound proofing. The Ontario line should probably be rerouted too.

NEW: Premier Doug Ford lets his plans for the Toronto Island airport slip: "We're also expanding the airport," Ford says. "The federal government is endorsing the plan. We're going to be taking a load off Pearson." #onpoli

If ever there was a time for developers in the Portlands who are going to lose building height and have shittier to live in buildings because of Island Airport jets to call the politicians they’ve paid good money for, now would be a good time.

@CoopTory @PoliticsFan2005 I mean they do pay corporate tax, the oil producing provinces derive royalties. The royalties escalate with price increases. I’d also say that excess corporate profits are returned as dividends to investors of which all the major pension plans have positions in.

Agreed. Canada needs to capture windfall revenues from our natural resources. The oil companies did nothing to produce the increased profits resulting from the war. They are capturing a rent. Why should Canadian consumers and our economy unduly suffer when we own the resource?
Jim Stanford@JimboStanford

As you fill up with gas that's now up 20c/litre in a week, remember who profits. Cdn oil companies made $150b after-tax profit after the last oil spike (2022). An excess profit tax redistributed to consumers would ease the pain. My take in @TorontoStar: thestar.com/business/opini…

Based on US shale data, a realistic timetable for the private sector response Burgum described: Rig activity (more drilling) ramps in 1-3 months on sustained higher prices. New wells add output in 3-9 months from decision (drill/complete in 1-3 months, peak flow quick after). Existing ops tweak faster (weeks). Full market impact: 4-12 months, plus expectations can ease prices sooner. Not instant, but shale is the fastest global responder.

Doocy: Is it possible just to drill, baby, drill, the prices lower? Burgum: Well, absolutely. And when you see prices start moving up like this, American private sector is very response. There’s going to be more active drilling in response.
