As we continue this journey, we’re reminded that the Stanley Cup Final is about more than hockey. It’s about people, purpose, sacrifice, and appreciating the moments that bring us together.

Elon Musk said five words on Joe Rogan that explain everything wrong with your life right now.

Musk: “Happiness is reality minus expectations.”

Five words.

And it explains why the most comfortable generation in human history can’t stop feeling empty.

Musk: “If you just go try living in the woods by yourself for a while, you’ll learn that civilization is quite great.”

He’s right.

On Naked and Afraid, people tap out in days. Sometimes hours. They crawl back to the same civilization they spent years resenting.

Because comfort is invisible until you’re sleeping in the dirt.

But the formula has a second variable.

It’s the one destroying you.

Reality didn’t get worse. By every measure, it’s the best it’s ever been.

Expectations did.

Your grandparents compared themselves to their neighbor. Maybe a cousin. That was the whole universe.

You compare yourself to 10,000 strangers before your first cup of coffee. Curated. Filtered. Showing you a life that doesn’t exist.

Theodore Roosevelt said it a century before any of this was built.

Roosevelt: “Comparison is the thief of joy.”

No Instagram. No TikTok. No algorithm designed by the smartest engineers on the planet to show you precisely what you don’t have.

And he still called it.

Now run the equation.

Reality holds steady. Expectations spike every time you unlock your phone. The distance between them stretches. And happiness doesn’t fade.

It collapses.

Not because your life got worse.

Because your reference point moved.

We built the greatest civilization in human history.

Then we built the perfect machine to make sure nobody enjoys it.

Every scroll. Every notification. Every “suggested for you.” None of it connects you. It’s recalibrating what you think you need. Upward. Constantly. Without your consent.

And you wonder why you feel behind.

You’re not behind.

You’re running toward a finish line that moves every time you look up.

The most dangerous lie of this generation isn’t that life is hard.

It’s that everyone else figured it out. And you’re the only one who didn’t.

Nobody figured it out.

The formula doesn’t negotiate. It just runs.

Raise expectations faster than reality improves and you will be miserable inside a paradise you built with your own hands.

That’s not philosophy.

That’s arithmetic.

And the calculator is in your pocket right now.

Is it crazy to think the Oilers off-season is just.

Resign Dickinson, Kapanen and Murphy.

Keep RFA’s Dach and Stastney

Trade for Cossa.

BREAKING: A Presidential permit has been approved for a new bitumen pipeline that will initially deliver more than half a million barrels per day of Alberta oil to facilities and refineries throughout the United States. This project is a joint venture between two great Canadian and US companies South Bow and Bridger using existing assets.

After years of advocacy from our government, and following the signing of the Canada-Alberta Energy Agreement last year, the federal government has lifted their oil and gas production cap. This means Alberta producers will be able to produce more of the oil that the world needs. It’s incredible to see that work already paying off with announcements like this.

The US is our most important trading partner and we will continue to deliver energy to help secure North American energy dominance.
