In the same post he describes them as floating at the bottom of the sea, mind you. So, you know, grain of salt.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump says US has destroyed 9 Iranian naval ships and 'largely destroyed' Iran's naval headquarters.

@CowCrypto Young people aren't going to bars any more, I hear.

YIKES.

Big news coming out of Algonquin College, where 30 programs are being proposed to be suspended come September 2026. The list includes: Journalism, bartending, horticultural industries, music, media and film foundations, plus others. Will this impact you? Send me a DM. #ottnews

And yet, kinda awesome.

[Rideau Canal NHS, Parks Canada @RideauCanalNHS]

⚠️ Safety notice - The Rideau Canal National Historic Site - including the Ottawa Locks - is not a place for unauthorized activities like ski jumping. Lock stations are closed to the public from October 14, 2025, to May 14, 2026, and are not maintained during this period. [🧵1/2]

Keystone XL certainly faced opposition in Canada, but what killed it was the U.S. government under Obama and then Biden. This is not particularly controversial. The only part of it that did get built was almost entirely in Canada.

[Eric Jackson @ericjackson]

Canada had 20 years to integrate its God-given oil and natural gas with the U.S.—its closest ally—through projects like Keystone.

Instead, it chose virtue signaling over national interest, punished its own producers, and normalized ~65% effective tax burdens.

Now the U.S. will source the oil it needs elsewhere.

This is what elite-driven, anti-growth policy looks like in practice: self-imposed impoverishment.

@moebius_strip Do we know that that's the premise of the trade petition? I went looking for the document and couldn't find it.

The law firm's news release (very annoyingly) doesn't say what the actual case is they're making.

@cselley Darabont would later restore balance by making the movie version of The Mist end more bleakly than King’s novella did.

Definitely not to just pour diluted bitumen into Lake Superior, I think all of us would agree.

Patrick Searle to lead the CCI after Benjamin Bergen’s departure; one of Searle’s priorities as CEO will be to press Ottawa for a response to the U.S. government’s new national security strategy.

"On-time bus performance continues to struggle for OC Transpo" is just a fascinating bit of syntax.

[Riley Brockington @RiverWardRiley]

On-time bus performance continues to struggle for OC Transpo. In October, 81% of bus runs (frequency of 15 mins or better) were on-time, while bus runs (frequency of 15 mins or less) were on-time 70% of the time.

Month after month, progress remains stagnant.

@Sean_Speer @acoyne The story is about what’s IN the budget, not changes SINCE the budget. You’ll see that full list of “two per cent” departments in the budget.

[David Reevely @davidreevely]

Different governments, very different sized economies, etc., but the U.S. *deficit* this year is more than Canada’s entire national debt.

[Philip Smith 🇨🇦🇺🇦 @PhilSmith26]

Many Canadian economists worry about our real GDP growth relative to the US counterpart over the last decade (often in per capita terms) while also worrying about Canada's federal deficits being too big. But you cannot have your cake and eat it too. Huge US deficits have been hugely stimulative.
