oil production is at record highs. the dividends for suncor/cnrl have never been higher. the feds spent $35 billion on a pipeline to make these people happy. it's never enough, if it rained fucking diamonds these people would complain about their trucks getting scratched.

Canada has been blocking the development of Alberta’s vast energy reserves for 10 years and continues to do so.

This country has a federal government in a system that already accords provinces a significant amount of control over most aspects of governance. It cannot cede further power without rendering the federation ungovernable.
Marco Vigliotti@Marco_Vigliotti

Justice Minister Sean Fraser says he’s open to having the provinces play a role in the judicial nomination process, but won’t accept the demand in a joint letter from four premiers to let the provinces choose the pool of candidates for Superior Court nominees #cdnpoli

In these days of fake news, disinformation, and propaganda, we crave AUTHENTICITY. This is something that Poilievre cannot conjure. Serious times call for serious leadership. We’ve had enough shitposting to last a lifetime, tyvm.
Stephano🍁Barberis@HelloStephano

Poilievre’s Joe Rogan appearance gave PM Carney’s numbers a surge and kept Pierre sliding. The bottom line is that Canadians just can’t stand Poilievre; even when he’s faking yet another performative makeover. He’s chronically unlikable but they keep changing the pig’s lipstick.

BREAKING: The Strait of Hormuz is no longer closed. It is no longer open. It is something the world has never seen before: a permissioned corridor run by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, priced at $2 million per vessel, payable in yuan. Three ships transited in the last 24 hours. Three. Out of a pre-war average of 60 per day. Total throughput: 310,000 deadweight tonnes. Three percent of normal. Four hundred vessels are waiting outside the strait right now. One hundred and fifty tankers. One hundred and twenty bulk carriers. One hundred and thirty others. Waiting for permission from the IRGC Navy to enter a 5-nautical-mile channel between Larak and Qeshm islands inside Iranian territorial waters. This is how the gate works. A vessel operator contacts approved intermediaries with IRGC connections, submitting full documentation: IMO number, ownership chain, cargo manifest, destination, crew list. The intermediaries forward the package to the IRGC Navy’s Hormozgan Provincial Command for sanctions screening, cargo alignment checks that prioritise oil over all other commodities, and geopolitical vetting. The toll is approximately $2 million per tanker. For a VLCC carrying 2 million barrels, that is $1 per barrel. Preferred currency: yuan. If the vessel passes, the IRGC issues a clearance code and route instructions. Upon approach, VHF radio hail, AIS verification, patrol boat escort. One ship at a time. Through the narrowest channel of the most important waterway on Earth. Iranian crude is still flowing. Approximately 1.1 to 1.5 million barrels per day, mostly to China, at near pre-war levels. Iran’s own oil transits the strait it controls. The blockade applies to everyone else. Iran is simultaneously the gatekeeper and the primary beneficiary. The toll funds the IRGC. The IRGC maintains the gate. The gate generates the toll. The circle is self-sustaining. Now look at what is NOT transiting. Fertiliser. Gulf nations supply 49 percent of the world’s exported urea. Ammonia requires the natural gas that Qatar declared Force Majeure on and that Iranian strikes disrupted at South Pars. Effectively zero fertiliser vessels have received approval through the permissioned corridor. The IRGC is prioritising oil because oil generates revenue. Fertiliser does not. The molecules that feed four billion people are trapped behind a gate that only opens for molecules that fund the gatekeeper. The yuan preference is the structural shift that outlasts the war. Every tanker that pays in yuan instead of dollars establishes a precedent. Every precedent weakens the petrodollar architecture that has governed energy trade since 1974. The IRGC is not just blocking a strait. It is building an alternative payment rail under live fire. The $2 million toll in yuan is not a fee. It is a proof of concept for a post-dollar energy settlement system, stress-tested in the most extreme conditions imaginable: a three-front war with the world’s largest military. The world’s central banks are trapped by the same strait: the Fed cannot cut, the ECB is hiking, the BOJ is tightening. Six countries are rationing fuel. Japan’s 10-year yield hit a 27-year high. Slovenia has QR codes at the pump. South Korea is barring government vehicles one day per week. And behind all of it, 400 ships wait outside a 5-nautical-mile channel for a clearance code from the IRGC Navy, payable in a currency that is not the dollar. Twenty percent of the world’s oil supply. Controlled by a VHF radio call and a yuan transfer. The strait did not close. It changed ownership. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

The willful misunderstanding of “interim” by paid Conservatives is on the same level as the comments section of any facebook post
Flavio E.@FlavioEvan

The claim that Prime Minister Mark Carney fired the budget watchdog is factually false❌: no one was fired, as the interim contract reached its legal expiration date. The reality of the situation is governed by the Parliament of Canada Act, which contains strict rules for how long someone can hold a temporary watchdog position. Here is the factual breakdown of what occurred. The Legal Six-Month Limit 👉 Under Section 79.1(4) of the Parliament of Canada Act, an interim Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) can only be appointed for a term not exceeding six months. Jason Jacques was appointed to this interim role in September 2025. By law, his time in the office was required to end on March 2, 2026. Prime Minister Mark Carney did not dismiss Jacques. Instead, the legal clock on the temporary appointment simply ran out. The position of an interim officer is designed to be a "bridge" while the government searches for a permanent leader who will serve a full seven-year term. The Search for a Permanent Successor 👉The government began looking for a permanent PBO in November 2025. On March 9, 2026, the government officially nominated Annette Ryan, a senior public servant from Fintrac, to take over the role permanently. Ryan appeared before the Finance 👉 Committee on Monday, March 23, 2026, for her confirmation hearing. During that meeting, she explicitly stated her intention to provide "independent and relevant analysis" to hold the government accountable, even promising to serve only a single term to ensure her independence remains unquestioned. Why the "Firing" Label is Misleading 👉 While Jason Jacques was indeed critical of the government's fiscal record projecting a $68.5 billion deficit and questioning spending classifications, his departure on March 2 was a predetermined administrative event. The political friction stems from the fact that the Opposition wanted the government to waive the standard search process and simply promote Jacques to the permanent role. By choosing a different qualified candidate (Annette Ryan) through the official process, the government followed standard procedure rather than terminating an employee for their views. Sources Parliament of Canada Act, R.S.C., 1985, c. P-1, Section 79.1 (Legal limit on interim appointments). Global News (March 2, 2026): "No more federal budget watchdog in Ottawa as interim PBO’s term expires." CBC News (March 2, 2026): "After a bumpy ride, federal budget watchdog steps down with some praise." Policy Magazine (March 9, 2026): "Annette Ryan, Canada’s Next PBO, Will Rise to the Challenge" by Kevin Page. Victoria Times Colonist (March 23, 2026): "Budget watchdog nominee promises 'pointy analysis' as critics question independence."

CNN fired Marc Lamont Hill for calling to “free Palestine” off air The same network features Scott Jennings cheerleading Israel’s genocidal rampages on prime time
Ounka@OunkaOnX

Jennings: "It would be fine with me if we continue to bomb them. These are the worst people in the world" He is dehumanizing Iranians-preparing the public for more destruction. The worst people are the ones who dehumanize victims to make slaughter acceptable

Doug Ford's vision for Ontario is one where his American friends fly in to downtown Toronto, attend a convention or go to a spa/casino there, and fly out the same way, without ever seeing any of the rest of Ontario at all.
Colin D'Mello | Global News@ColinDMello

NEW: Premier Doug Ford says the government will table legislation to take over Toronto’s island airport and the city’s place in the tripartite agreement with the city. The government will also designate the airport as a Special Economic Zone. #onpoli

In 1988, the US Navy shot down Iran Air Flight 655, a civilian passenger plane, killing 290 people including 66 children. No one was held accountable. That impunity didn’t end. It set a precedent. @prem_thakker breaks down the attack you’ve probably never heard about

We had a teenager die after waiting 8 hours to see an ER doctor. ERs have 55 waiting to be seen. ER patients wait 10 hours or more to see a doctor. Hallway medicine has never been worse. The Premier promised in 2018 to end hallway healthcare. How is this a bigger priority.
Doug Ford@fordnation

Billy Bishop Airport already serves communities across Ontario, from Thunder Bay to Sudbury and Windsor to Ottawa. Expanding the airport will mean more routes and cheaper flights across the province, delivering on our plan to build a stronger, more resilient and more united Ontario economy.

You don’t rewrite a 40-year-old FOI law - and make it retroactive - unless you’re trying to hide something. Ontario’s privacy watchdog is clear: this will make government more secretive, not more secure. This isn’t about privacy. It’s about Doug Ford dodging accountability. #onpoli globalnews.ca/news/11740683/…
