Tesla gives away free Level 2 charging (11 kW) at a shopping district near me. After having dinner and doing some shopping, my car is fully charged. You don’t see gas stations giving away free gas. Thanks @TeslaCharging! ⚡️

I wish there was a way to bet against Alberta separatists who are dead convinced they’re gonna win in October. God I would make so much money.

Toronto star owned by MAGA 🙄

This might end up being the most one-sided independence referendum to ever exist, lmfao

If you’re genuinely afraid of the WEF or the WHO, I need you to understand something, you’re a sucker, and you’ve been tricked into fearing a conference and a committee. The WEF is Davos. It’s a ski resort in Switzerland where billionaires and politicians eat expensive food, take photos together, and agree that inequality is bad actually. It produces no laws. It has no army. It cannot make you do anything. Klaus Schwab is not your supervillain. He’s an 86 year old German academic who writes books nobody buys and hosts a yearly networking event for people who are already powerful enough to not need the networking. The WHO is 194 member countries occasionally agreeing on health guidelines that those same countries then ignore whenever it’s politically inconvenient. It is chronically underfunded, routinely overruled, and has less enforcement power than your municipal bylaw office. These are not hidden rulers of the world. They are PowerPoint presentations with a budget. The people who have you scared of these organizations do not want you asking where your actual problems come from. They don’t want you looking at your own provincial government, your own city council, your own grocery chain, your own landlord. It’s a lot easier to fear a Swiss ski resort than to engage with something you can actually do something about. You got played. It happens. But you should probably know.

On issue after issue, separatists just wave their magic wand to wish away serious problems with secession. Myth: “Federal lands and federal building (sic) don’t add up to much” Fact: - Wood Buffalo National Park - Jasper National Park - Banff National Park - Waterton National Park - Elk Island National Park Together encompass 53,860 sq KM, or 8.2% of Alberta’s land mass - CFB Cold Lake - CFB Suffield - CFB Wainwright - CFB Edmonton Together encompass ~12,000 sq KM, or 1.9% of Alberta’s land mass - 138 Indian Reserves encompassing 6,556 sq KM, or 1% of Alberta’s land mass - YEG and YYC airport lands, encompassing 49 sq KM Plus hundreds of other parcels of land, buildings, etc, much of it prime downtown property (eg armouries, RCMP facilities.) So ~12% of Alberta’s land mass, including some of the most valuable and strategically important in the province. The total value would be in the tens of billions of dollars. But don’t worry, the separatists say. No biggie. We’ll just keep saying “Canada sucks” and stuff, cause facts are hard.

When something good happens, he says "Carney took mah policies" When something bad happens, he says "Look at Carney and his abysmal policies. Please make me PM so I can somehow magically fix everything. Don't worry about the details."

Canadian conservatives have become the loudest bunch of whiners in the country. “No investment.” “No energy strategy.” “No export markets.” “No one wants our resources.” Then the second a major deal gets announced, like LNG exports to Germany, suddenly it’s: “Terrible deal.” “Selling out to Europe.” “Not enough profit.” “Why are we helping Germany?” So which is it? For years they screamed that Canada needed to diversify energy exports, reduce dependence on the US market, and build stronger relationships with allies. Germany literally comes looking for stable Canadian energy after Europe got burned by Russian dependence, and now the same people act offended that Canada is doing business with them. Apparently conservatives want investment, jobs, pipelines, exports, trade deals, and energy dominance… but only if they can still complain afterward. At this point, complaining IS the platform.

The Prime Minister is right. Albertans did not vote for separatism in the last provincial election. It was not on the ballot, it was not central to the government’s platform, and it was not presented as a mandate to destabilize the future of Confederation. At a time of global economic uncertainty, Alberta should be focused on strengthening investment, expanding market access, building infrastructure, creating jobs, and helping lead a strong Canadian economy, not fuelling political chaos that undermines confidence in our future. Alberta’s strength has always come from helping build Canada, not retreating from it. We are strongest when Alberta is at the centre of a united, ambitious, and economically confident Canada.

Blood on your hands too Mr. Scheer - In 2012, the RCAF presented the government of then prime minister Stephen Harper with a $755-million proposal to buy new aircraft for the Snowbirds, but that was rejected.

People in Victoria don’t have cottages because it’s a walk or a short drive bike or bus for everybody to get to places like this. And yes, Americans you’d be surprised by the physician incomes. Every doctor I’ve met has been very happy from the US.

I interviewed Mark Carney for a job. It was 2021. We were looking to bring in a board member or executive who could help us think about entrepreneurship in the context of the global economy. I was asked to interview a guy named Mark. I Googled him. He had a decent CV. In our call after brief introductions, he jumped straight in and said, “I see on Strava that you’re a runner and you live in...” It threw me off a bit. He had clearly done his homework. Borderline stalking. We talked about running for a while. He was good at small talk. He casually mentioned that he runs marathons now and then. Mental note: he does his homework. Also, is he distracting me so I do not get to my questions? I started worrying he would try to schmooze me instead of getting into anything substantive. In my defence, I had done some homework too. I had not stalked him on social media, but I had read several articles he had written. I learned that he leaned strongly globalist and believed that most of our challenges do not respect borders and will only be solved collaboratively. I wanted to see if he could argue against his own position. More specifically, I asked when countries should invest in self-reliance. For context, I explained how, in software, we have learned that purely centralized systems fail in obvious ways. But overly distributed systems fail too, when small issues propagate across too many dependencies. I asked whether societies behave the same way. Are we sometimes too decentralized? When should countries accept less efficiency and invest in more centralization or self-reliance? He smiled. I could not tell whether he thought the question was childish or whether I had annoyed him. Then he broke the silence and said, “This is a great parallel. Give me a second to think about it.” We ended up having a great conversation. That said, it took him a lot of words to make his point. Professional talker. He liked the exercise. I could tell he had spent so long defending global collaboration that he had not fully prepared for this angle. I did not know it at the time, but he was in the middle of writing Value(s), which is essentially an ode to global cooperation. We went over time. It did not faze him. He cared about finishing the discussion. At that point he was improvising, and it felt natural and fun. It was a genuinely thoughtful discussion. I learned a lot. In the end, he did not join us. But we all wanted him to. When I see him in his current gig, a small part of me laughs that I might have helped warm him up. The more I think about that conversation, the clearer it becomes that he probably did not want his current Prime Minister role. Not in the way people want promotions or titles. Some people spend a lifetime preparing for problems they hope never arrive. When the moment shows up anyway, they step in. Not because it is appealing, but because it is necessary. This just happened to be his moment.

Saskatchewan, Your power bills are going up. Why? Because the Sask. Party has driven SaskPower to a loss of $166 million, a $292-million swing from original projections. Clearly, there is only one place this incompetent Sask. Party government will turn to cover their losses and that’s YOU. After 18 years of the Sask. Party, families are dealing with greater financial anxiety than anywhere else in Canada and four-in-10 are borrowing money or draining their savings just to put food on the kitchen table. It’s time for change so Saskatchewan people can keep the lights on and their costs down.

First drive & impressions of FSD 14.2 in South Central Texas. I just received the update on my 2025 Model 3 & went out to test it on some areas where FSD has had difficulties in previous versions including the previous FSD 14.1.7 and also to get overall impressions. Overall, it did well over about 45 miles of driving on rural highways, congested areas with lots of traffic, construction, grocery store busy parking lots & rural post office destinations. Although in general it did very well in a variety of situations, a few stood out that I want to highlight where I did have disconnects & unusual behaviors that seem to have been introduced with FSD 14.2. Summary of Strengths: Smooth, confident most of the time, and polished. Felt comfortable at all times while FSD was driving the car. This includes all of the driver settings (Sloth, Chill, Standard, Hurry & Mad Max) Opportunities & areas with challenges: - Navigation database mismatches really becoming a glaring deficiency with the approach @Tesla_AI is using, not just because of recent or ongoing construction, but also with established routes, roads & destinations - FSD 14.2 stopped unexpectedly at a gas station that was not part of the route or any destination in the route. After parking, I tapped the Start Self Driving button and the car resumed as if it was starting at an intermediate stopping point & it continued on to the original destination. - A second strange Navigation challenge happened when arriving at my home. For no apparent reason, it tried to go to my neighbors house … something no previous FSD version has done. Very strange. - Construction prevented FSD from entering into the selected grocery store entrance, but instead of taking several obvious nearby detour routes or doing a U-turn, it re-mapped the route & drove a few miles past the grocery store & into a residential area, did a turn around & then rerouted all the way back to the grocery store. This was several miles of added driving & passed numerous paths that were much closer & available. - Parking in angled parking spaces continues to be a big challenge for FSD 14.2 … it took up two parking spaces & at an odd angle when parking at a rural Post Office, disregarding the painted signs & angled marks on the parking spaces & the sign posts for the parking spaces. It also attempted to drive the wrong way in the one-way parking area. - Speed profiles seem a bit better, but speeding, especially in my neighborhood area is still excessive. For some reason, a posted 25 mph section showed a 65 mph speed sign on the MCU display & FSD tried to drive to that speed. This might be related to navigation databases mismatches issues mentioned earlier. In summary, I think @Tesla FSD 14.2 shows some promising signs of progress, but still has several areas that need additional work, the biggest of which is the navigation databases mismatch issues. I’d like to see some way for owners to provide inputs to the FSD team to provide navigation map updates that can help fix these issues. Also, having a way to “train” FSD in specific areas, say at your home so it knows how to properly enter the driveway, back into the garage, select which side of the garage, etc… would be very helpful.

Pierre isn't even hiding his use of American policies in Canada, he is quoting Trump word for word now. As long as the Conservative Party is being run by Pierre, Harper, MacKay, Reform party, Scheer and Trump That makes them the most serious threat to Canadian democracy !

Try letting your Tesla drive itself under your supervision. Significantly safer than manual driving a lot less stressful, especially in rush hour

Life when you waiting for FSD 14

Fun Fact: People run their tanks from full to empty solely to avoid gas stations. Skip them altogether with a Tesla.

Norway based its sovereign wealth fund (SWF) on Lougheed’s model. Alberta produces ~4m barrels of oil per day. Norway produces ~2m barrels of oil per day. Alberta’s population is 5m Norway’s population is 5.5m Regardless of federal policy, Alberta has squandered its potential.

RT @HelloStephano: This is terrifying. Canada needs to immediately stop subsidising this poison and make it illegal for foreign actors to…
