Credit to Liberal MP Will Greaves for standing up to his own party. You really don't see this a lot in Canada, and he's 100% right to do so.

As the price of oil & gas explodes, I recently read about how the price impact is almost entirely speculative, as the *supply* of oil and gas hardly budges, particularly in places like Canada. It's all just straight up profits for the gas companies. Remember that as you fill up the tank this week.

Quote: "If we are going to be in the rooms where wars are planned, Canadians, through their Parliament, have a right to know — and a right to say no."

The Honourable Lloyd Axworthy knows the job. He didn’t mince words in this column either. I'm grateful to him.

“Conspiracy theories about globalist cabals, climate hoaxes and election fraud may seem ubiquitous on social media. But a report has found that they come from a tiny minority of users…

Moving metrics: How the Ford government pulled back reporting its successes and failures | Globalnews.ca Targets, such as opening dates for transit lines and GHG emissions, have been removed from scrutiny, while a housing tracker set up a few years ago displays data from 2024.

NEW: Who's counting anyway?

A series of tracking measures that were once regularly updated and relatively easy to access are disappearing in Ontario.

Government denies it's deliberate, critics say it makes it harder to hold to account. #OnPoli

That's a test of character. Posting the gaming footage was a test of intelligence. Both fails.

UPDATE: One and a half days after Global News / Ben Mulroney were contacted about him sharing video game footage as if it were real air combat video, Ben Mulroney quietly removed the post from his X account this afternoon

Still no comment from @globalnews.ca or Ben Mulroney

BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a “victim” in the warrant.

I wonder if the team behind Arma 3 ever thought their game would become the most popular software to fool boomers into thinking simulated war footage is real

A woman without a political opinion is comfortable only because other women before her fought, bled, and spoke-while she quietly enjoys the shelter and pretends the storm isn't hers.

“It starts with blaming immigrants, then deportation and police force like ICE. 🇨🇦 be aware! Don’t let our goodness or lack of imagination cloud us to what can happen in Alberta!”

“Let’s cut the BS: Leaders of Alberta Separation are f*ckin racists!”

Same, Michelle. Same.

I know maps are less popular than clickbait, but pls entertain me

🧵 We are watching two escalating conflicts at the same time:

• Pakistan–Afghanistan cross-border fighting
• Israel–Iran strikes, with spillover across the Gulf

These events may converge into a regional displacement crisis.

Very good point

It’s pretty strange that they went to the effort to specifically target, and reportedly kill, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has had no significant role in Iranian politics to my knowledge since the 2010s. Did they want to stop the weird hip-hop tweets?

A reporter should be asking, “How so?” Like logistically, how the eff does that happen?

This is so deeply corrupt

From the always brilliant Mr Bob Rae:
“The conduct of foreign and military policy is not about listening to our “impulses” or our “instincts”. It is about constantly understanding the consequences of our behaviour, and what others can do in response to our own decisions. It is not about how we feel

It was my freshman year in high school.

They wheeled a TV into my art class because “something terrible” had happened/was happening and my teacher, a blasé man by nature, was shaken and wanted to stay up to date.

In the middle of a lesson about perspective, we watched the second tower collapse.

Sam Altman @sama • 4m Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network. ... In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome. Al safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement. We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only. We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all Al companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements. We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.

Tech billionaires, in addition to being socially inept and lacking empathy, also live in a completely deranged bubble where potentially murdering countless people means nothing to them. It’s a business deal.

They are fundamentally incompatible with civil society. #OpenAI #BillionairesAreTheProblem

Refugee released by Border Patrol found dead, sparking outrage Surveillance video obtained by The Post shows Border Patrol agents releasing the partially blind refugee, who went missing for days before being found dead.

They dropped off Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a blind refugee who didn't speak English, at a CLOSED Tim Hortons.

5 miles away from his home.

He never made it.

If you were worried the Supreme Court tariff decision undermined the Administration's "deals", let me put your mind at rest.

Those "deals" were more reality TV than trade policy: Press conferences, bullet points, and praise, but little substance.

The tell: None were ever signed

So now that Queen of Stupid and Schoolyard Bullygirl Danielle Smith is distracting from her record deficit by picking on immigrants, let’s all remind her of her letter less than 3 years ago to the hated PM Justin Trudeau demanding more immigrants for
Alberta.
