The ones who bray “follow the science, follow the science!” are the same ones who discard science to suit their ideological purposes.

The Grand Ransom™️has now been signed: a reduced & deferred carbon tax to $140/t by 2040, and the promise of a new pipeline that "is tied to Pathways", a $30BN project that is irrelevant and enormously expensive. No other country in the world is doing this to themselves, just 🇨🇦.

🚨 CANADA UNDER ATTACK. Earlier today, the U.S. Department of Justice announced the arrest of Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, a 32-year-old Iraqi national and senior commander of Kata’ib Hizballah, an Iran-backed Shia militia designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization since 2009. Al-Saadi is charged with directing at least 20 terror attacks in Canada and Europe since late February - including a shooting at the U.S. consulate and an attack on a synagogue in Toronto. Once again, we’re thanking the Americans for having our six. We rely on FBI undercover operations and American courtroom disclosures to learn that our own cities were attacked by a foreign terrorist network. This is a dangerous sovereignty failure which should be unacceptable to every Canadian, regardless of political stripe. @scoopercooper @NorthrnPrspectv @Harry__Faulkner

Western society is currently divided between people who know this is a man and are prepared to say so and those who know this is a man but lie out of obedience to an ideology. There is no third option. Literally nobody on earth thinks "Roxanne Tickle" is actually a woman.

@GillPowell4 This "deal" with Ottawa smacks of a total capitulation. Her leadership has been otherwise outstanding, but as was pointed out in another post, not a single oil exec attended the presser. That does not engender confidence.

@policything I keep asking those that oppose her leading through due process, who they would rather have as premier. Not one response yet. They seem happy to complain and attack her, but dont seem to have someone else theyed put in her place.

I have no direct knowledge, but I have a feeling Danielle Smith's ability to maintain the loyalty of her caucus is about to be severely tested.

Here for the comments 👇

Why is there not a single oil company CEO standing behind the Premier to celebrate? Is the cost not worth the prize?

I reached out to @tobi before about moving Shopify to the US. He replied with "Canada is worth fighting for". Tobi, you hold A LOT of power. Not only is Shopify a Canadian company, it's headquartered right in Ottawa. Please consider leveraging this to force Ottawa to ditch C-22. Tell the Mark Carney Liberals straight-up: If they implement C-22, Shopify leaves Canada. This is what we need right now. A very public display of clouted resistance. Please consider it.

"It’s astonishing that almost no media outlet has reported on the UN’s downgrading of some of the most extreme climate scenarios that helped drive the urgency behind the Paris Climate Accord and carbon taxes around the world. The UN-backed scientific community is now acknowledging that the planet is likely not warming as fast as some earlier worst-case projections suggested. Canadians deserve to know this, especially as major policies continue to reshape economies, energy systems, and food affordability."

@WorkingCdns Brookfield bought the largest pipeline in the US no condition of sale that all oil must be decarbonized

@howisthismylif @jacobmantle Royal Assent

@policything @jacobmantle What’s RA?

Millions of Canadians use Signal, WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger and everyone needs to understand that C-22 will give gov’t the ability to force these companies to create access to those systems.

@howisthismylif @jacobmantle Triggering an election which almost assuredly would've handed the Liberals a massive majority would only have resulted in renumbering C22 and delaying RA.

@jacobmantle Everyone knew this was coming and yet, when the conservatives had a chance to vote non confidence on the Bloq budget amendment-the cpc voted WITH the liberals, keeping them in power. Then your own members gave them a majority🤬 It’s ALL of you🐍🐍🐍uniparty.

C-22 is looking like a huge mistake. It worries me a great deal. There is so much nonsense in there that It may well end up dealing a death blow to Canadian tech viability.

Signal is now warning that it could exit Canada over Bill C-22. The government has called Signal, Apple, Meta, US Congress, and cybersecurity experts all wrong. But this isn't a bluff. Canadians will lose access to secure services if the bill passes as is. michaelgeist.ca/2026/05/bill-c…

It’s part of the Carney deception. Even his own Brookfield bought the largest pipeline in the U.S. (Colonial) last year. To my understanding there was no requirement it be “decarbonized” as a condition for sale

Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere." Farmer: "Where did they get it?" Activist: "What?" Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere." Activist: "From... eating?" Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it." Activist: "The soil?" Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from." Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere." Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it." Activist: "Then just don't have the cow." Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle." Activist: "It's not that simple." Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."

In Japan, children clean their own schools. Every day. After lunch. About twenty minutes. Classrooms. Hallways. Toilets. Not because the schools are too poor to hire someone. Because in 1947, this country decided that cleaning your own space is part of becoming a person. The cleaning rag is on the school supply list. Right next to the pencils. Egypt teaches it now. So does Indonesia. So does Mongolia. Think about the last time you watched a seven-year-old mop a floor without complaining. Japan does that in every elementary school in the country. Not as punishment. As education.

@Jok3rsTrick @thesovereignceo John, I'd like to borrow that truth and unicorns line. Perfectly put.

@thesovereignceo @policything Good luck trying to reach the masses with this. Truth is more rare than unicorns in new Canada

Chief Allan Adam is the lead voice of the First Nations coalition that brought the legal challenge that killed the citizen-led Alberta separation petition. He went on CBC to celebrate the ruling. He called it a "great win for Canada and for democracy." But here is what CBC didn't ask him about. Chief Allan receives foreign interference money. The Tides Foundation is a left-wing lobby organization based in San Francisco who wired $55,000 directly to Chief Allan Adam's bank account to oppose the oil sands. Shortly after receiving that money, Adam flew to Toronto to sit on a stage next to Neil Young to publicly demonize Canada's energy industry. CBC themselves reported that various American funders contributed an estimated $40 million to Canadian environmental and Indigenous groups with one specific goal.... to landlock Alberta crude by blocking pipeline construction. Researcher Vivian Krauss attributed the cancellation of Northern Gateway, Energy East, Keystone, and Trans Mountain directly to this coordinated American-funded campaign. Chief Allan Adam was part of that campaign. He gladly took the money. This is real foreign interference in Canada's energy economy. And the same man who took American money to block Canadian prosperity is now the man leading the charge to block Albertans from having a democratic vote on their own future. Meanwhile he REAPS the benefits of tax payer money from the very same industry profits. The Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation's own audited financial statements tell a story that Chief Adam did not mention once during his CBC interview. Combined with existing assets and real estate holdings, the band is sitting on close to $300 million. And the registered population of this band? 1,567 people total. With only 33 people living on reserve. That works out to roughly $9 million per person on reserve and Canadian taxpayers are still sending them $10 million a year plus a $100 million lump sum payout. Meanwhile this reserve has no public accounting of money spent since 2021. That's five years of missing financial disclosures. No accountability. No transparency. And the money keeps flowing. Chief Adam has been doing this for years: 2018 — The National Post reported his complaints were complicating the Liberal review of the Frontier Oil Sands mine. The Alberta government publicly stated his concerns were about money, not environment. 2018 — Despite publicly criticizing fossil fuel developers and hosting anti-oil activists including Leonardo DiCaprio, Adam signed a benefit agreement with Teck after what he described as positive negotiations. His opposition was for sale. 2020 — Adam was stopped by RCMP outside a Fort McMurray casino for an expired license plate, resisted arrest, and publicly accused the officers of "racist" treatment. The RCMP was cleared. No evidence of misconduct was found. Chief Allan Adam did not vote against Alberta separation. He did not organize Albertans to vote against it. He went to court to make sure Albertans never got to vote on it at all. Over 300,000 Albertans signed that petition. They followed the law. They used the exact democratic mechanism the Legislature created for them. And a judge threw every one of those signatures in the garbage. A man taking money from foreign interference organizations who also massively benefits from Alberta prosperity is taking democratic rights away from Albertans. Yet he thinks this is a "win for democracy." Canadians you are being scammed in every way possible.

Wind is not an energy plan. It is an accessory. That is where the Manitoba NDP and the Métis leadership are getting this wrong. Ownership models and “green economy” language do not change the physics. Wind is intermittent. It depends on weather. It needs backup, storage, transmission, maintenance, and replacement. That is not baseload. That is a political ribbon-cutting with blades. Manitoba Hydro says demand could more than double over the next 20 years, and it has started procurement for up to 600 MW of Indigenous majority-owned wind projects. Ok, but let’s not pretend that solves the reliability problem. Wind can supplement a grid. It cannot anchor an industrial economy. Bastiat would ask the obvious question: what is seen, and what is unseen? The seen: jobs, press releases, partnership announcements, construction photos, and politicians congratulating themselves. The unseen: backup generation, grid instability, maintenance costs, shorter-than-promised turbine life, dead capacity when the wind does not blow, and the nuclear plants we failed to build because everyone was busy worshipping weather. Even Manitoba Hydro’s own resource work recognizes nuclear and small modular reactors as serious options, with nuclear providing steady baseload power. That is the adult conversation Manitoba should be having. Support nuclear. Keep hydro strong. Use natural gas where needed. Add wind only where it makes economic and engineering sense. But stop confusing intermittent power with an energy strategy. That is not planning. That is Net Zero theatre with a turbine attached.
