After living in China, I can tell you 2 things: 1) it is incredibly easy for the virus to spread. 10 of 1000's/km living in urban areas. No detached homes; all high rise and low rise app'ts. 2) the numbers are understated. This is serious...

46 million Chinese are now under quarantine: more than the entire state of California

I don’t know why everyone is worried about the LNG market. Canada is HERE TO BACKFILL QATAR’S LOST VOLUMES. If we start today, and work all-out around the clock, in just a FEW SHORT YEARS Canada can confidently deliver a preliminary environmental impact assessment. After that it’ll just be a couple of hundred weeks before the indigenous consulting is complete after which the ascension to final decision by the federal environment minister can take place. When the federal agencies make their decisions, we can FINALLY BEGIN provincial permitting. This won’t take long, and once provincial permitting is complete we just have to execute a short 5 year ecosystem monitoring study. After that, when we submit final plans to the provincial government, we should be GOOD TO GO AHEAD AND BUILD a very comprehensive community information pamphlet for the mandatory 720 day public comment period. When the public comment period is complete, and the final investment decision is reached, it’ll be SHOVELS IN THE GROUND on the local fencing needed to secure the site for 2 years to give migratory species enough time to change their patterns. Once migration patterns are changed, and the final hazardous emissions diffusion studies are complete, the community is consulted, and all permits are obtained, CONSTRUCTION WILL BE UNDERWAY on the monitoring systems needed to ensure that no local Salmon population feel personally slighted by any new infrastructure. While this sounds like an arduous process, it’s TOTALLY necessary to ensure Canada remains carbon-competitive. Have no fear all those that may be unable to heat their homes in a few short weeks, Canada is here to deliver ENERGY SECURITY TO THE WORLD… unless it impacts the livelihood of one single snail, then you’re on your own kid.

Might be an unpopular view in Philly with all the fans booing the Eagles, but the Bears might just be good. Just sayin. #CHIvsPHI

This is a brilliant economic analysis of Trump’s nonsensical tariffs as they unfairly apply to Canada. Bravo Scott Galloway. 👏
Watch Scott Galloway eviscerate Trump, Scott Bessent, and their fucked-up tariff policy that has alienated our allies, bankrupted working class families, and destroyed the "envy of the world" economy President Biden handed to Dirty Donald. 😳👇

The Trump regime has put a 10% tariff on the Heard Island and McDonald which is inhabited only by Penguins. The majestic Penguin has become the first nonhuman in history to enter a trade war with the United States.

Saying "Run Faster" won’t make athletes faster. So why do leaders tell teachers to "Raise Test Scores?" Teaching beats telling—every time. @ToddWhitaker gets it. #Captivate #studentengagement #StateofEdPodcast stateofedpodcast.com youtube.com/@edupyro

The best way for Canada to respond without triggering a new chapter in the trade war is to embark on a massive cut to top marginal tax rates on incomes of all sorts: personal, corporate, and capital gains.  Take a feather out of Ireland’s cap and make Canada a global tax haven - one way to not just prevent capital flight but trigger an investment boom.  Make the business sector think twice about relocating without hurting consumers, which is what tariff retaliation would do.

Unlike Justin, Carney has a real resume. However, his "team" still looks like the old gang focused on esoteric goals - more concerned with the vinaigrette on their cucumber salad than tedious issues like jobs, budgets, energy security... I can't ignore 9 years of weak leadership.
