Anyone who has known an alcoholic knows the signs, especially bartenders. Hegseth is a walking AA ad

To add, I do know this would increase the costs of pollutants extraordinarily, eg., fuel, trucking, shipping increases, but you keep your whole cheque and make wiser spending choices. I think this is a much more capitalistic view versus the socialism of taxing income.

Since oil prices are up and Katie Porter's post has been trending, I wanted to add the dreaded "carbon tax" to the mix. We all hate income tax, so why not shift what the government taxes. Income has always been the easy, stable tax base to collect; why not switch to pollution as the base? #Econsky

23.6 million, so that's a quarter of a day's worth of world consumption 🤔

Funny what a change in targets can do, eh?

In 2024, we had a disgruntled mayor scolding Calgarians daily for our failure to lower our water use.

Today, we have a happy mayor proud of our collective effort.

I'd argue that rewards programs from WestJet to the OG Hudson's Bay card are just as big of a Canadian symbol as the mighty beaver 🦫

As I sit here on hold trying to merge my 4 Triangle rewards accounts into one, I realize that rewards programs are a Canadian symbol and institution. We really, really like rewards programs, we roll up, we collect points, we even set up a separate currency just for rewards (CDN tire money) #Cdnpoli

Alberta is a silly place #Abpoli

Alberta Court is about to dismiss the teacher's injunction to suspend the operation of Bill 2 (Back to School Act) because the harm occasioned has already happened. The hearing on the merits will happen in September and the teachers will be able to challenge the law then and receive a full remedy.

The fact that the Epstein Estate ACTUALLY PAID a settlement to one of the women who alleged that Donald Trump raped her as a minor, and it was paid AFTER Epstein died, as told under oath by Epstein's longtime accountant, should be a more significant story.

Crude prices aren't what will ultimately drive the necessary demand destruction should the Strait of Hormuz remain closed.

That job will fall to refined product prices, the things we as consumers actually consume.

Singapore spot jet fuel prices are there already, over $200/bbl

She almost fell off. I grabbed her arm at the last second. The dude rode off as I swore at him. Yes, she was a novice cyclist, but that was assault on the Danish man's part.

My GF and I were cycling through Copenhagen near the centre of the city with a local friend, and when we came to a stop at a light a Dane cycling next to my GF tried to push her off her bike because he didn't like how close she was to him.

This seems to have come out of discussions involving Witkoff and Dmitriev, which, let’s not forget, derived from a shady backchannel but is now basically the official channel of US/Russia relations.

I’m shocked, stunned etc.

Meanwhile, everywhere else around the world assumes Australia has cracked it and are rushing to copy their law.

Britain is likely to be hit by rising inflation because of the US war with Iran, the chancellor…

Hormuz closure severely threatens UK jet fuel (Kuwait supplies 36-38% imports; UK only 74% self-sufficient) and LNG (Qatar halt; UK storage at 1-2 days). Expect shortages, rationing, +20-50% airfares, and gas price spikes, worsened by Grangemouth loss.

A David Akin post aside, we forget these are kingdoms, feudal societies. The only real difference between them is who's paying for US weapons and who they sell their oil to.

a group of people are walking down a hallway with the letters cw on the bottom Alt: Law and Order Toronto: Criminal Intent intro, the police chief, the two detectives, and the crown prosecutor walking down a hallway. Then the law and order appears

#Law&OrderToronto is really good 👍

Are there any non Christians in the room? If so, they must be really uncomfortable 😆
