Because the top few companies keep propping each other up in the biggest grift we've ever seen. I'm not even Bearish on AI but even if it's a great success in the end they can't all win and so far none of them have any real revenue.

It's still a single issue environment; Trump is the only issue. Ford at least appears to be fighting.

Going forward, if there isn't something legitimate to vote on within 3 months of the end of an agreement it should be an immediate strike.

The unions letting these "negotiations" drag on for months and months is a complete failure of organized labour. AUPE Government Services should have been on strike a year before they finally voted. Instead they let the employer split the union and drag them into submission. Glad they cleaned house.

okay, AUPE's Government Services group should have joined them.

Good. AUPE should have joined them.

In all honesty, they may want to be prepared to run against Vance instead of Trump.

Yah, even take your basic conventional rig. They used to have 4 crews of 7 or more. Now they are running 3 crews of 5.

Wells that use to take 3 months to complete in the late 90s now take 3 weeks.

And growth is dead for the most part, just production maintenance now.

Probably true, but it would not negate the fact that Trump dying is an objectively good thing. When it happens let's at least take a moment to celebrate before moving on to the next POS.

He's almost certainly the one who got rid of expense claims too.

Rob Anderson would be my guess.

Entirely possible, regardless of the outcome though it appears to be a kick it down the road as far as possible with as little pain as possible until Trump no longer has control (whatever that means). As for the legality of Tariffs it seems like even his own people are betting against it.

In terms of how much crime he is committing, yes. In terms of hiding it, not so much.

Correction: Shakedowns, we do a lot of shakedowns like that, he'll do more of them.

they also seem to keep patching out the ways to get around it.

So that's why Trump actually hates Zohran. Well, another reason.

This is probably the right play though, and it appears that pretty much every country is just trying to placate now, and keep the tariffs as low as possible, while diversifying, until Trump gives up under internal pressure (which will be intensifying drastically as prices go up) or loses power.

From an economic perspective both sides lose when any tariff is instituted whether that's the Trump tariff or the one we do in retaliation so yah. Politically though, not punching back when you get punched is always a weak look.

It will probably be slightly profitable for the quarter ended in March but that data is not available yet.

To be more specific, TMX had revenue of $695 million for the quarter ending in December for an operating LOSS of $37 million.

No, the oil companies have made that. A chunk goes into government revenues but the pipeline itself is not "half paid off" it's getting per volume tolls, and probably won't be paid off for 30 years.

You can claim the economic benefit is almost up to half the cost but language matters.

Not knowing the price is pretty concerning (beyond the fact that it should be fully covered). If I book and then can't afford it what happens?

Everyone says Trump is making all the wrong moves on this. I would say he's making all the wrong moves on this IF HE'S INNOCENT. If he's not innocent then he's making the right moves; delay as long as possible and probably die before he ever faces justice.
