Deeply honoured to be have inducted into the Kanai Chieftanship as an Honourary Chief of the Blood Nation of the Blackfoot Confederacy. A truly meaningful recognition of the work I did with First Nations to create economic opportunity in the spirit of “reconciliaction!”

Bravo to Mayor @JeromyYYC for standing up for Canada, and to the overwhelming majority of Calgarians for supporting his efforts!

Some people suggest that while green is expensive, the benefits are much greater Well, no: The benefit of net-zero is $4.5 trillion/year, but the cost $27 trillion (much larger costs and benefits, because we're currently only doing a bit of net-zero currently) x.com/BjornLomborg/status/17… You can see all the references in my Twitter thread: x.com/BjornLomborg/status/19…

You don't care about Canada. You literally think Canada is a “colonial mistake.” You forced DRIPA onto British Columbians and threatened the security of private property. You have Land Back ministers eager to tear apart British Columbia. You are the extreme activists

This whole episode is an example of what @reihan calls “punitive egalitarianism.” We let it persist because we don’t see its costs—or we’re weirdly proud of them. As @tylercowen has observed, one of the main reasons why Canada has less inequality than the U.S. is because we export inequality there. If Musk had stayed and created his companies in Canada, our Gini co-efficient would be higher. But so would our employment, incomes and national wealth.

Richard Wagner has spent his time as Chief Justice turning himself into the self-appointed guardian of Canadian democracy: annual press conferences, speeches about the rule of law, warnings about democratic backsliding. The old convention was that judges speak through their rulings and otherwise keep quiet. Wagner seems to find that beneath him. He wants to be a public figure, not just a judge. The irony is that every time he steps up to the microphone to defend the court’s legitimacy, he’s the one politicizing it. A judiciary that lets its work speak for itself doesn’t need a spokesman. Wagner has made himself one anyway, and the institution is worse off for it.

These are the exact same people who made “countering hate” their entire identity. They were the first to plant “Hate Has No Place Here” signs on their lawns. They insist “hate speech isn’t free speech.” They proudly fund groups like Hope Not Hate and Stop AAPI Hate They still chant “Love Trumps Hate” like it’s scripture. Yet here they are, in the pages of The Globe and Mail, publishing a guide on “how to properly hate” Elon Musk for the crime of building SpaceX into a company that could make him the world’s first trillionaire. Proof positive that their “anti-hate” crusade was never about hate. They are, in reality, full of hate. It was always about who they’re allowed to hate

Elon Musk is about to become a trillionaire If he agreed to pay just 80% of that as a wealth tax to the EU, the EU government could use its efficient operating experience to fund bicycles with solar panels attached to them for over 40 residents of the Netherlands Elon is being selfish by not paying the wealth tax

This reads like a screed by a Marxist undergrad in a campus paper. There is no way the editors of the Globe thought it was a meritorious piece. Was it run because the “eat the rich” tag line would max engagement? Is the Globe now trolling us with clickbait? Or do the Globe’s editors also want to incite hatred of their massively wealthy proprietors?

Cameco is a great Canadian champion in so many ways, including its early leadership in economic partnerships and employment with indigenous Canadians. A true Canadian success story! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The most envious, Marxist, redistributive person in the world isn't the guy busting his hump to frame a house, or the guy grinding out DoorDash...it's the smug guy worth 7 or 8 figures staring at a trillionaire he considers socially beneath him.

Can I just point out how funny this is, given the paper is owned by Canada’s wealthiest billionaire family, all of whom inherited their wealth. Should we hate them for that? Of course not, because that would be gross. But, it reflects our tall-poppy syndrome at its finest. Personally, I’m glad that the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan is getting a nice payout, as will many others who took a big risk investing in SpaceX. I wish we had more audacious entrepreneurs making big bets and generating great jobs and wealth here in Ontario. I want to create an environment that makes it even more likely. The world is not zero sum. The size of the pie is not fixed. If we make more, everyone can get a big piece.

Outrageous

➜ Shooting of Toronto Jewish school ➜ Shooting of Toronto synagogues ➜ Shooting of Toronto anti-regime Iranian boxing gym ➜ Shooting of US consulate in Toronto ➜ Shooting of Toronto Police officer Marc Pinizzotto The hate that starts with Jews never ends there

This should be a Heritage Minute

👀 Trans Mountain is apportioned, i.e full capacity. It’s only been in service for two years. Demand for Canadian heavy oil in global markets has been proven beyond a doubt.

"My client is not in a hurry." One hundred years ago today, on June 10, 1926, Antoni Gaudí died in Barcelona, three days after being struck by a tram on his way to confession. Because of his simple clothes and unkempt appearance, many mistook him for a beggar and delayed helping him. By the time he was identified, it was too late. A century later, the man known as "God's architect" is being remembered not only for his genius, but for the faith that inspired it. Today, Pope Leo XIV will visit the Basilica of the Sagrada Família to bless the newly completed Tower of Jesus Christ, the final and tallest of Gaudí's planned towers. Rising 172.5 meters (566 feet), it makes the Sagrada Família the tallest church in the world. Gaudí devoted the last years of his life almost entirely to the Sagrada Família, convinced that he was not building a monument to himself but offering a work of praise to God. He famously accepted that he would never see it completed, saying, "My client is not in a hurry." One hundred years after his death, the basilica remains a testament to a faith capable of imagining eternity—and to a man whose greatest masterpiece was never really about architecture at all.
