When political risk types say we're in unprecedented times, they're right. 2025 combines high geopolitical risk (90th percentile) and off-the-charts trade policy uncertainty. We haven't seen anything like this in my lifetime. Look at how 2025 blows up the x-axis.

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

The techbros commit $300 million to Trump, and are expecting much more than that number in return. This is how things work. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Donors for Trump’s $300m White House ballroom include Google, Apple and Palantir

Work under way to demolish entire East Wing as president upped cost of new structure from $200m to $300m

Looking a bit tired and with sniffles, here’s an update on the #ForeverCanadian Unity Bus tour and on our signature count. It’s looking really good, but we need to push it across the finish line. Keep in mind that some signatures may get rejected. Thank you volunteers! #ableg

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

It’s election day, Calgary. If you haven’t voted, today’s the day. The new system (thanks UCP) takes longer so put your patient pants on. If you don’t vote, you have zero right to complain. This is the power of democracy, we have to use it, or lose it.

I’m glad I didn’t vote early in Calgary’s election. Changed my mind after watching CBC’s debate. First time that’s happened.

We had that experience in Conil and everyone looked fit there so I’m convinced they make a ton of veg at home
