Canada is not a democracy. It's not even a free nation anymore.

How could it be when Parliament is sidelined for eight months, allowing the executive branch to reign unchecked?

Or when foreign interference is ignored and elections are gamed?

Or when courts rule that the government broke the law and nothing changes?

Or when the state controls your speech, your property, your energy, your news, your guns, your healthcare—and offers you assisted suicide when the wait times get too long?

Canada has become something else: a managed oligarchy with democratic trappings, where the individual exists to serve the state.

Look how far Canada has fallen. Because this could be America's future overnight.

Many of today's moves are ignoring the realities of a low oil price, above ground risk, and time:
🛢️any meaningful recovery in production will take YEARS, with available estimates ranging from a 0.5MM Bbl/d increase to take 2 years and $10BN, a 1.5MM Bbl/d increase to take 5-7 years and over $90BN, to a recovery back to ~4MM Bbl/d 10 years and $100BN
🛢️employee safety comes above all else - the above ground risk remains far too high for any meaningful return of activity - imagine the scale of needed improvements
🛢️at the current oil price capital spending is at maintenance levels - who is going to deploy the necessary billions into a highly risky and uncertain environment?
🛢️while significant, Venezuela's official reserves are overstated and likely rank in #8 position (not #1) when considering economically viable barrels
🛢️the US refining complex remains dependent on Canadian heavy barrels with ~3MM Bbl/d headed to PADD 2 refineries with no ability to displace
🛢️non-OPEC production is forecasted to peak THIS YEAR and OPEC spare capacity sits at ~ 1.4MM Bbl/d vs. demand of 105.2MM Bbl/d - the world is going to need every Venezuelan barrel it can get!
🛢️with all this said, once again and something we have loudly argued for - Canada needs to diversify its customer base and build another (for now) citizen-owned pipeline to the West Coast - it is the very definition of being in the national interest - when will we wake up?!?

Maybe a good analogy for how we should use AI in a sustainable way is chess.

Chess engines surpassed human players decades ago, yet professional chess played by humans is still active and thriving. I am not a chess expert, but I'd say the game has probably even become richer and more interesting.

Based on what I heard (e.g., based on Kasparov's Deep Thinking book and podcasts featuring Magnus Carlsen), modern players have been using AI to explore different ideas, challenge their intuitions, and analyze mistakes with a level of depth that simply was not possible before.

I think this is a useful model for how to think about AI in other forms of intellectual work. Used well, AI can accelerate learning and expand what a single person can reasonably take on. I think we should treat it more as a partner rather than a replacement.

But I also think if AI is used to outsource thinking and coding entirely, it risks undermining motivation and long-term skill development.

@KimDotcom Imagine a time when elders and families sat and told relevant stories/legends and a few fables. Soon we can go back to that but with amazing Hollywood style visuals! The most important part will be instilling your own values in the stories, no Hollywood propaganda!!!

@orangebook So what should the age cap of politicians be?

Can someone explain to me how Algoma steel can lay off 1000 workers and yet steel prices have been rising as of late in Canada. Oh right, it's because these large "too big to fail" companies that get government subsidies then go to the very same government to apply tariffs to offshore steel. Then with that protecting them they can raise the price to their own countrymen. Yet another reason for this Westerner to be frustrated with the East.

@icreatelife I was an early adopter and it has become very useful in my day to day. It is also growing very fast and I am both excited and terrified for the future...

@business Love our steel producers out East! Get help from their government, same government as mine, to help them charge me, their own countryman more for steel. Sweeeet.
