Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine: "The Ukrainians for the past year have taken out probably 51% of the Russian refining capacity. So a major blow to the Russians. You can see why the Russians might want to have an energy ceasefire."

The Russians are very good at this. And so many people are also very gullible.

Rachel Notley to Albertans who plan to vote for separation as a "message to Ottawa": "The message isn’t being sent to Ottawa. It’s being sent to investors around the world — and it says you cannot count on the stability of Alberta."

💯 “But trade is good and the American exports we should be most wary of consuming — after lettuce — are isolationism and jingoism.”

Exactly this! Carney has given her everything she asked for, and any pipeline to the West Coast is still an extreme longshot because the oil companies are fully aware of the future oil demand facts.

Until recently I’d assumed the pipeline would be privately funded, and so I believed it would never be built. Now, unfortunately, it seems it might.

I’ve previously been somewhat sceptical about various commentators saying Trump is incidental decline. He was always a mess. But no longer. I don’t know how the GOP ignore this for the next 2 years. Scary stuff.

To the extent that Shell and its partners, and private investors, are willing to risk billions on this expansion, fine. Lots of jobs created. But risking taxpayer contributions, maybe not so much.

Are there still straight men out there who don't comprehend how many more women we'd pull by pulling off gay standards of dress, grooming and general taste? I mean, we'd still need to overcome being relentless assholes, but that's just a given. We've worked around that one for centuries.

The US auto sector is an anchor, and Canada needs to free itself as much as possible from its clutches in order to avoid going down with it.

One of Canada's advantages is that we know a lot about the US. We follow their news and politics, get their TV channels, travel there. But Americans know nothing about us. They don't understand our politics, history or values. They constantly misjudge us, but we understand them completely. #cdnpoli

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Agreed. On that topic, I’m generally in favour of what David Eby has been doing on the trade front, but think it’s a bit silly to post a sign at the border that BC will never be the 51st state. A bit silly.

one thing I will add here is that I am relatively agnostic on the actual tactics needed to beat the far right, because they change across different national and temporal contexts in Hungary, the center-right beat the far right. in Canada, it was the center. in Spain, it was the left
