ian @ismathers.bsky.social · 09/10/2026at some point, the group chat i have with my brother and dad swapped out the normal thumbs up button for a rock emoji. none of us know why or how, or how to change it back. so without discussion we just started using it anyway. one of us will go "everyone free on sunday?" and just get 🪨 🪨 back 360

Reposted by ianRachel Gilmore @rachelgilmore.bsky.social · 08/10/2026He appears seized with popularity: the pipeline, for example, has no economic case. It’s devastating environmentally (long term). But it is seeing him land the historic legacy of unprecedented Liberal popularity in Alberta, something unthinkable years ago. More focus on legacy. 2869
Reposted by ianRachel Gilmore @rachelgilmore.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Think about it: he’s hinted he might be here for 4 years, that’s it. He’s making moves that attract investment and briefly boost to Canada’s macroeconomic picture, but with devastating, expensive, and unpopular long-term impacts — hitting under future PMs. His legacy survives. 39613
Reposted by ianRachel Gilmore @rachelgilmore.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I’m increasingly convinced, watching his politics, that what motivates Carney the most isn’t brutally ~pragmatic~ economics. The pipeline shows he’s willing to make moves with no economic case, seemingly to be popular in Alberta. I think he’s motivated by his own legacy. 2827162
