“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”

A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

My buddy James Steidle telling it like it is!

Sawmilling turncoats Canada currently fulfills around 25 percent of American lumber demand, a drop from 35 percent in the 1990s. That number shrinks every time a Canadian sawmill gets dismantled and shipped to the US. It ...

We should have made it a rule that our resource riches are reinvested in Canada, not siphoned out of our country. The billions earned off of Canadian timber shouldn’t be used to create a parallel industry cradled in a competitor’s bosom.

The 2018 steel tariffs just called to remind you that steel is produced by a tiny sliver of the economy, but used as an input by a much broader swathe of manufacturers.

I love the bad news show.

I am grinding spices in my coffee grinder. So now my spice mixture tastes like coffee and my coffee will taste like spices. It's a win win.

Oops 😬

Change your pants change your life.

"If you're a transactional sort of person who thinks that if I win, you lose, you might think of that [tariffs] as giving you bargaining power. But I think that's the wrong frame for thinking about economics.

Economics is about relationships. What can we do better together than we could apart..."

Next time can you please tell the interviewer that we aren't talking about maple syrup, we are talking about oil, gas, electricity, auto parts, and lumber when it comes to trade goods coming from Canada?

It ain't all about Trump, it ain't all about the US. Believe it or not there are actually domestic political reasons for Trudeau to have tanked, but it's mostly about his own hubris.

Is Canada Ready for Life Without the CBC? Pierre Poilievre Thinks So | The Walrus Saving one of Canada’s most controversial institutions won’t be easy

Any politician who says a main policy platform is to decrease our primary journalism has lost the plot, if you ask me. We need to protect this institution, for it plays an essential role in our Canadian identity, society and democracy.

25% tariffs and -25 in Prince George? Coincidence? 🤔

Enjoy these last precious moments of relative ‘normalcy’ before the tariffs on Canada and Mexico completely collapse the US economy.

From Richard Warnica on X, "We are negotiating against an all-powerful child who is surrounded by sycophants and untethered from reality"

Our adversaries on the world stage are clinking glasses right now.

And the Lord said: beggar thy neighbour.

Love this thinking. We have manufacturers already considering moving to the states over fear of tariffs. Why not get a reverse brain drain going in response.

Insiders and Influence: How Big Coal Lobbied the UCP Government | The Tyee A timeline shows the coal industry hired at least 14 former government insiders to lobby for favourable policy changes.

The Alberta UCP government has made several changes to the province’s coal policy since taking office.

Some seem abrupt, but records show communication between industry and government departments has been continuous, extensive and influential.

Danielle Smith puts oil and gas before country America First meets Alberta First is the perfect Trumpian tango.

Bottom line: Smith is a Quisling. If she has that much support, she should call an immediate election. www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...
