Vieillissement et faible productivité | Une épée de Damoclès au-dessus de nos finances publiques lapresse.ca/affaires/chron… via @lp_lapresse

@rudyhusny @M_Vastel @LeDevoir C’est un article étrange. Elle a tout à fait raison qu’il est inacceptable que Carney n’ait pas nommé un DPB plus rapidement. Mais une nomination est maintenant en cours et la candidate semble être un excellent choix. Problème réglé.🤷



Marc, what are you talking about? Food inflation dropped by almost 1% when the consumer carbon tax was eliminated back in April 2025. And the industrial tax is still there.







This is legitimate criticism, in contrast to the crap about the interim PBO being « fired ».

BREAKING: Fujairah is not just a port. It is the terminus of the Habshan-Fujairah pipeline, the UAE’s only bypass around the Strait of Hormuz. Iran just struck the escape route. Every analyst modelling the Hormuz closure built their base case on 4.0 to 6.5 million barrels per day of bypass capacity through pipelines terminating outside the Strait. Fujairah was the linchpin of that assumption. Saudi Aramco’s East-West Petroline to Jeddah was the other. On March 1, Iranian missiles hit Ras Tanura, Saudi Arabia’s primary export terminal. On March 3, Iranian drones reached Fujairah Oil Industry Zone. Debris from an intercepted drone ignited a fire at the facility. Contained quickly, no casualties, operations resumed. But the message to reinsurers is not about this fire. It is about the next one. The bypass capacity that every energy desk on Wall Street uses to argue Hormuz disruption is manageable just became a target set, not a solution. Reinsurers now must model not only Hormuz transit risk but bypass terminal risk. The insurance withdrawal that shut down 80% of Hormuz transits can now extend to the infrastructure the market assumed would compensate. $79 Brent assumes the bypass works. Iran just demonstrated that the bypass is within range. Recalculate everything. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

Bullshit. He didn't fire anyone. Jacques was interim PBO. Do you know what interim means? His term expired. As did Yves Giroux's.

According to the @FT, the Trump administration now has realized its tariffs are increasing the price of everyday items (read: beer and soda cans) and it's planning to scale back some tariffs on steel and aluminium goods. Link: ft.com/content/f2eff7…
