This pipeline will not happen. If the proponents want to continue digging, they really need to build a refinery. Again.

Your Google finger sprained?

Provincial taxes, and the CHT. It’ll be more provincial taxes, or less services.

Healthcare being a provincial jurisdiction is going to mean provincial funding a bigger share, I expect.

Except the ‘too big’ and ‘wrong side drive’ and ‘built in North America’ niggles, this is still a straight up dumbass idea.

On April 30th, the Blue Jays were 13-16. And I posted this gentle encouragement to the fellas, who were trailing 6-0 to the Boston Red Sox.

They came back, walked them off on a Kirky single, and went 81-52 the rest of the way.

You gotta believe.

Lefty on the mound. That makes the difference.

That’s quite the lineup card #BlueJays

Welcome. Magic number reset- now 4

Old, tattered Curtis Granderson giveaway T-shirt from back in the day is my go-to

Both. But also accounting treatment of resource extraction in general.

I don’t believe you’re properly assessing the fossil fuel tax credits.

"We paid *way* too much money for what is measurably the shittiest truck or EV on the market, the owner of the company came out as a ket-fueled racist asshole, and through all this we not only stuck with the rolling shitbox, but made it our entire personality... but we're the victims, actually."

I was given to understanding that he was washed up b/c of the past two games before this

One of Max’ better columns. Why don’t Smith’s team engage Moore (and other BCers)?

Alberta is forgetting the hard-won lessons of Northern Gateway If Danielle Smith wants to build another pipeline across British Columbia, she might want to spend some time actually trying to understand what makes it tick first.

The Northern Gateway pipeline project was killed, in part, by failure on the part of Alberta's oil and gas elites to understand British Columbia's politics and legal geography. The second kick at that can is already going down the same doomed path. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/10/16/o...

Roads and ports are the best use of these funds (rails as well)

Leaders urge Ottawa to build the North with next major projects A delegation of Indigenous leaders and politicians from the Northwest Territories are in Ottawa this week, lobbying the federal government for consideration in its next tranche of major projects — and...

NWT Premier RJ Simpson came to Ottawa with a crystal clear message for the Carney government: “The North is ready. Indigenous governments are ready. Our projects are ready. We've talked about the North long enough; it's time to start building it." www.nationalobserver.com/2025/10/08/n...

The political case for rooftop solar If there’s one lesson progressive politicians should take to heart from the last decade, it’s that the durability of their climate policies is more important — way, way more important — than their eco...

Rooftop solar is inefficient and expensive compared to to utility-scale renewable energy. Here's why progressive politicians should aggressively subsidize it — and other consumer-facing clean technologies — anyways. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/10/02/o...

Didn’t think it looked that bad for Can/US rugby match? Only a month ago

For two-years, the Front Office talked about internal improvements & positive regression. It got old quick and as a fan, there was a lot of doubt. But, you have to give Shapiro & Atkins credit. They were 💯 right and they should be commended for that faith in this core.

Great story, Ben.

The AL East division win, of course.

@wilnerness.bsky.social you reacted with disbelief to my calling your writing sour earlier this year, Mike. Re-read your lede today and let me tell you again- sour. Celebrate a fantastic season. No need to piss on it. #BlueJays

What an amazingly shitty life you lead.

Apparently I was pessimistic.

@stoeten.bsky.social maybe you mentioned it at some point, but I continue to be impressed by the fragility of this fanbase. Even after a 4 game losing streak, the 10 game record was 6-4. But no one can remember that 6 game winning streak. The clinching win kept us there. .600 ball is lights out!

Ridiculous. You start Gausman. A win and mayyybbee in game 2

Bullshit
