The next administration must make clear that any immigrant, refugee, or asylum seeker wrongly deported, exiled, or otherwise mistreated by this administration will be readmitted with an expedited path to citizenship. Send a plane to get them.

We can't undo the damage. But we can do something.

This is already demonstrably incorrect. And Wright isn't even dead yet.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

Agreed.

It's the democratic equivalent of lead in the drinking water. The longer we wait to remove it, the more lasting the damage will be.

Great stuff from Max. Love that "Schrodinger's oil and gas". It fits UCP too. Record output while the Libs destroy the industry.

"Politics remains the art of the possible, and nowhere is that more true than on climate policy in Canada. The last decade should be all the proof anyone needs of that. "

Southern BC is fundamentally different than the north coast, for a bunch of different reasons. But yes, Indigenous support and co-ownership is a requirement.

Schrodinger’s oil and gas industry strikes again

My latest newsletter: Canada's energy industry is either a hyper-competitive profit machine or a vulnerable protectorate forever at risk of collapse -- and sometimes both at the same time. It's bullshit.

Also: my take on an excess profits tax. #cdnpoli

I have a feeling the Alberta government will be backstopping it. I also think it won’t actually get built.

First: hilarious.

Second: A core belief of Trump-brand conservativsm is there are and never have been difficult problems, only dumb leaders without the strength to be cruel enough to solve them.

It's why they always look so baffled when pushing the "more cruelty" button doesn't seem to work.

A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief.

The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."

The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

The Onion plans to turn Infowars into a comedy site with satirical echoes of the fringe conspiracy theories that Mr. Jones is known for. Tim Heidecker, one of the comedians behind “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!” on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, has been hired to serve as “creative director of Infowars.” He said he initially plans to parody Mr. Jones’s “whole modus operandi.”

Mr. Heidecker has been working on his impression of Mr. Jones. But eventually, when that joke gets old, Mr. Heidecker said that he hoped to turn Infowars into a destination for independent and experimental comedy.

“I just thought it would be just a beautiful joke if we could take this pretty toxic, negative, destructive force of Infowars and rebrand it as this beautiful place for our creativity,” Mr. Heidecker said in an interview. During a recent trip to Philadelphia, he traveled to the Liberty Bell to film a video in character as the new creative director of Infowars.

Whether it's JD Vance telling the Pope not to stick his nose in Theology, or Pierre Poilievre claiming that Mark Carney is bad at Economics, we are truly living through a Golden Age of self-entitled mediocrities whose only move is projecting their own inadequacy upon their critics and opponents.

Pierre Poilievre keeps trying to challenge Mark Carney on his economic credentials.

Of all the dumb fights Pierre Poilievre has picked over the course of his career, this might be the dumbest one yet. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/04/20/o...
