A Canadian guy who'd like to think he knows what's going on, but is wrong often enough to know better. ... and I love music.

The richest man owns X. The second richest man owns The Washington Post. The third and fifth richest men control Google. The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And the eighth richest man now owns both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Just to mention. The original TM pipeline from the 1950s - still in operation and "twinned" by TMX - is a durable piece of federal Liberal government assistance to Alberta. The then Liberal government established the route, provided a permit, then sought two contractors. /2

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.

As a response to new tariffs against 🇨🇦 how about we set up a national retailer, modelled on Amazon. It would operate as a non-profit and would source products from 🇨🇦 manufacturers that have lost business to 🇺🇸. I think people would shop patriotically and maybe keep some businesses afloat.

Have you stopped buying 🇺🇸 bourbon? Consider this small Ontario distillery. They answer that age-old question; “How does one open a distillery that makes 12 year-old whiskey?” One starts by making vodka and gin, as it turns out (and strong COVID hand-sanitizer). johnsleemanandsons.com/our-story

I forgot all about “Dr.” Gorka. Turns out he is now LARPing along as “senior director for counterterrorism” and special advisor to the president. To mash-up quote David Bowie and Adrian Belew/King Crimson, “I’m afraid of America” “It’s a dangerous place”. From the Atlantic piece by Tom Nichols👇🏼
A document that should have explained the president’s plan to keep the American people safe during wartime is now on global display as a pathetic—and dangerous—joke. More than anything, it is a faithful reflection of the Trump administration itself: To judge from this report, America’s counterterrorism policy is unfocused, run by amateurs, and concerned more with Donald Trump’s many grievances than the security of the United States.

I genuinely think the president and many of his advisers, scammers, hustlers, and keyboard gangsters, don’t understand this concept at all and you can see it in the pattern of their mistakes from Minneapolis to Tehran www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/o...
Yet never has so much been seen, so precisely, by so many people who understand so little of what they are seeing. A system can tell you where a man is. It cannot tell you what his death will mean for a nation. Such systems are trained on behavior, not on meaning — they can track what an adversary does but not what he fears, honors, remembers or would die for.
