Henry J Kaiser was incredible.
He built highways, bridges, and The Hoover Dam.
But most impressively, he built 1,490 ships during WWII, 1/3 of the entire U.S. cargo fleet.
Here's how he reduced the time to build a ship from 8 months, to 4 days 🤯 (🧵)
The ICC arrest warrants for the former defence minister and the Prime Minister of Israel are outrageous.
They draw a false equivalency between a liberal democracy and a terrorist group that attacked that democracy last October 7th.
Hamas needs to: Release the hostages. Drop their arms. Unconditionally surrender.
We’ll support a democratic ally’s right to defend itself not the false equivalency of the court. 👇
Canada is in economic trouble. Under the Trudeau government GDP per capita is flat, productivity growth is the lowest in the G7, and debt per Canadian is up >35%. To place a de-facto production cap on a sector that = ~15% of the Canadian economy (costing 51,000 fewer jobs and ~$45BN/year in lost GDP) is economic treason.
We zealously attack a sector that makes up only 0.1% of global emissions when 1 year of Chinese coal plant growth would completely wipe out our efforts. For what gain then?
Industry cannot even vocally defend itself now under existing law (C-59) that threatens oil and gas companies with fines = 3% of global revenue per "offense" of speaking up about their environmental leadership.
I believe the demand for oil will grow much longer and stronger than consensus believes. With non-OPEC production expected to peak in 2027 and Canada's high environmental standing, we are part of the global "solution", not the "problem."
To willingly cede market share to others, many of whom do not respect the environment, is purposeless, self-inflicted economic repression. The world needs MORE, not less Canadian energy.
As the sun sets this Friday, October 11, Jewish communities in Alberta and around the world gather for Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. This solemn day is a time to look within, seek forgiveness, and make amends with others and with God. It is a day marked by heartfelt prayer, fasting, and contemplation, as Jewish people seek to elevate their spirits and purify their souls.
This sacred day also serves as a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience of the Jewish people, who come together to renew their faith and to seek God’s mercy and blessing. By embracing humility and honesty, Yom Kippur is a profound opportunity for individuals and communities to emerge stronger and more united.
To all who are observing Yom Kippur, may your prayers be heard and your fast be meaningful.
Hear O Israel: the L-rd is our G-d, the L-rd is one.
World Teachers Day has been set aside to thank and honour teachers, who play such a vital role in shaping the future of our society and our province through education.
In challenging times and ever-increasing demands, our teachers go beyond their role as educators; teachers are mentors and role models. Their influence extends far beyond the walls of our schools, impacting countless young minds and lives. Thank you for all that you do.

This is Karina Pritika being chased and then slaughtered like an animal at point blank by a Hamas terrorist, one of the same terrorists celebrated by the Israel/Jew hating Left.
@cityofcalgary please fix the potholes. More white paint circling potholes doesn’t fix the pothole. You need to insert the asphalt. Our pothole infested streets are an embarrassment. Lodging a request with https://t.co/dHYErZCOak doesn’t get action. What will?
