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

Purple carrot shaped like a hockey stick
In honour of today's first #Oilers vs #AnaheimDucks playoff game, allow me to present this hockey stick-shaped purple garden carrot, that tried its very best to continue growing while in storage over the winter (the "blade" of the stick) 😁.

The American right sounds more like the KKK every day. They recognize that Trump has granted permission to take the white hoods off, and they're proudly doing just that 🤬.

Repeat the lies enough, and people will start believing them, right? I feel like that's just not working for Poilievre anymore, except maybe with his small and under-informed base.

Ladies, imagine this coming at you, with the accompanying halitosis and loaded diaper smell...🤢
#uspoli
Another one 🤦! Whyyy??

Planting season is starting up, so here's a thread on growing corn on the Canadian prairies.
TL;DR: it grows well here — you just need to choose the right varieties 😁

Unpopular opinion: Gala apples are terrible. They may be firm and crisp, but they're so ordinary, and SO BORING to eat. It's a chore.
Orins are my current favourite, with Jazz and Ambrosia a strong second & third.
topical 😂😂
The real story should be WTF is that grey thing...😳
Are you talking to me, because you didn't pick up the sarcasm?
Happy Saturday peeps!
Enjoy!
It is laughable. Sometimes it is beyond laughable!

Why are some people so dependent on AI for the pics they post? The original photo of Pierre and Ana was perfectly fine, but in the "enhanced" pics, they're completely different people. Pierre's never looked better 😂.

Ekos poll on Canadian symbols and values
REMINDER: the ones spewing hate for all things Canadian, screeching "Canada is broken," and wanting to Make Canada White Again, are a loud, obnoxious minority.

Even by Poilievre's standards this is just an absurd misrepresentation of reality.
Carney left the Bank of England in early 2020. Inflation didn't take off in the UK until mid-2021 -- the same as every other economy on earth.
Important read from former Alberta Party leader @gregclarkab.bsky.social as context for Danielle Smith's current plan to gerrymander provincial ridings (i.e. cheat to improve the UCP's chances of winning).

You sound like a Flames fan 😉
The Vancouver play-by-play guys are putting me to sleep. Jack and Louie, save us!!
#Oilers
So weird that Poilievre failed to mention that most of the UK's economic troubles are due to its exit from the EU — something Carney warned against. And that the government had so much confidence in his leadership, they extended his term as BoE Governor to 2020.

F'n Caney and his sheep Muppets 🤬
Man rails against "Caney's" suspension of fuel tax, because it's not enough
To be fair to Ol' Jimmy, if drivers were only saving 1/10th of 1¢ per litre of gasoline, that *would* be laughable...

They're not satisfied with making massive amounts of money. They want to make ALL the money 🤬.
