Buttigieg: "For the leader of this country to make a nakedly genocidal threat against another civilization as if the US was a death star that was going around blowing up civilizations, of course that is a new low ... the whole country is being judged just for tolerating that kind of thing at the WH"
Electric vehicles helped avoid 2.3 million barrels per day in global oil demand last year, according to BloombergNEF. That number is projected to increase to 5.25 million barrels by 2030. ⚡📉

My latest newsletter: the deadline for a deal between Ottawa and Alberta on industrial carbon pricing is just weeks away. The oil and gas companies and their political proxies are already trying to tilt the table in their direction — and fudge the facts.

Value-based pragmatism says it all. Where Carney draws the line of compromise between the two terms will never please all and will shift from time to time. Unavoidable.
Opinion: In moments of extreme uncertainty, investors usually rush to the safety of US government bonds. But not this time. ft.trib.al/oguIqBN
J’ai écouté et aimé l’entièreté de sa conférence, comme d’autres avant celle-ci. Fascinant les liens qu’il établit entre les peuples qui ont habité ce qu’on appelle aujourd’hui l’Ukraine et des mythes de la culture populaire et bien d’autres richesses de la culture occidentale. Merci pour le lien.
My latest: because one national unity crisis wasn't enough, Danielle Smith has decided to provoke another one —all, of course, in the name of placating the separatists that run her party.

Mounted on the back of the American tiger, Carney must deliver on his three prongs strategy without being eaten alive, and us along with him.

@abenewman.bsky.social I have quoted your book in an op-ed published today in La Presse, the main Canadian French daily.
The Munich Conference showed the enshittification of American power.
plus.lapresse.ca/screens/a705... Carney est monté sur le dos du tigre à Davos. Il doit maintenant maintenant éviter d’être dévoré (et nous avec!) dans l’exécution périlleuse des trois axes de son plan.
Possible dans des entreprises « familiales », mais je n’en sais rien. Faut demander à PKP.
ils ont aussi lancé un tabloïd anglophone à Montréal, qui a fait long feu; mais surtout, Péladeau a acheté de Maxwell ses imprimeries américaines, qui ont mené à Québécor World.
Péladeau père et Maxwell ont brassé beaucoup d’affaires ensemble. Ils ont acheté la papetière Donohue, d’où le lien avec UQTR (jadis?) forte dans cette industrie.
Trump has imposed sanctions on 8 ICC judges and 3 prosecutors. “The sanctioned ICC staff,” Reuters noted, “now sit on the U.S. Treasury Department’s Specially Designated Nationals list, alongside suspected al Qaeda terrorists, Mexican drug traffickers and North Korean arms dealers.” wapo.st/3MsWi3c
Faut vraiment sortir?
Et si les Américains tentent la même manoeuvre avec le Québec, les Péquistes applaudiront-ils? Tout laisse croire que oui.
Je suis souverainiste. Mais les temps changent. À ce moment de l'histoire, comment un Québec souverain pourrait-il résister aux assauts impérialistes de nos voisins débridés?
La stabilité du système financier est à risque si la commercialisation de l’IA progresse plus lentement qu’anticipé par la poussée fulgurante des actions. Une correction brutale pourrait entraîner le marché du crédit privé, lui aussi très étiré.
À une époque marquée par la rivalité entre les grandes puissances, le Canada choisit d'être pragmatique et fidèle à ses principes. Il choisit de nommer la réalité, d'agir en collaboration et de bâtir ce en quoi nous affirmons croire.
I'm sorry. As a technology writer, I'm supposed to be telling you that this bet will some day pay off, because one day we will have shoveled so many words into the word-guessing program that it wakes up and learns how to actually do the jobs it is failing spectacularly at today. This is a proposition akin to the idea that if we keep breeding horses to run faster and faster, one of them will give birth to a locomotive. Humans possess intelligence, and machines do not. The difference between a human and a word-guessing program isn't how many words the human knows. I'm sorry. I know that when we talk about "digital sovereignty," we're obliged to talk about how we can build more data-centres that we can fill up with money-losing chips from American silicon monopolists in the hopes of destroying as many jobs as possible while blowing through our clean energy goals and enshittifying as much of our potable water as possible.

This our 20th annual #TopRisks report at Eurasia Group. It is a bumper crop in 2026 — the most complex and potentially consequential risk environment in memory.
It informs leaders around the world in every sector. We hope it helps you make sense of things.

If Canada was the 51st State this would be our Vichy Gov’s official statement:
Mark Carney will not stumble because he lacks intelligence or seriousness.
He risks stumbling if he grows impatient with the need to explain himself to the public and earn permission in plain language.

Ce que l’article avance, c’est le prix chargé par les avocats, pas le montant qui serait versé à Trump ou à son entourage. Le WSJ dans,
d’autres articles, a montré que Zhao a dirigé des montants élevés dans son business de stablecoins.
Merci, j’ai regardé la une actuelle du WSJ et n’ai pas vu l’article.
Not true. No such a story in the WSJ.
