"While it is true that Canadian oil and natural gas volumes have grown over the past ten years, they grew at a fraction of their potential. We have continued to grow by debottlenecking existing projects, improving efficiencies, and brownfield expansion. We continue to lever off the investments that were made prior to 2015.
In fact, only one greenfield oil sands project has been approved and built since 2013, while capital investment in oil sands peaked in 2014.
So as Canadians, we need to ask ourselves – what did we get for this? We forewent investment, jobs, royalties, and taxes, while the world continued to consume exactly the same amount of energy... it just didn’t come from Canada." /4

"The vision of a bloodless, imminent, and seamless energy transition from fossil fuels to renewables and alternative energies has been laid bare as fallacious. Only the most ardent of idealogues still pedal this vision. In reality, we are entering into a period of energy diversification, not transition. We use more wood, coal, oil, and gas today to generate energy than at any point in history. The only fuel that we have truly transitioned away from over time is whale oil.
We have come to accept what we always knew from basic economics – “There are no solutions, only tradeoffs.” – There is no free lunch." /2

HOW DID WE GET HERE?

Calgary is losing 23% of its treated water to leaks. At Infrastructure and Planning Committee, I asked Administration how we got here. Their answer: it wasn't a priority.

$342 million is now proposed to fix it. But over half goes to monitoring and smart metering, not fixing the actual pipes.

Detection is important, but I'm not convinced we have the balance right yet.

What do you think?

Canada 🇨🇦. Trudeau and Carney wanted net zero, and they got it: zero growth, zero jobs, and zero productivity.

Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem acknowledged the toll that Canada’s international student visa program has taken on the country’s youth, and their ability to find work.

In Toronto, a young Jewish girl named Esther has been missing for over a week. To make matters worse, people have been ripping down posters about her disappearance, just like they did with the hostage posters after 10/7—one of the more appalling things I've ever seen in my life.

TD report on CANADA's BRAIN DRAIN is really interesting.

Canada is quietly losing its top talent to the United States in what economists call a silent brain drain. While Canada does a strong job educating highly skilled workers in STEM, engineering, and entrepreneurship, it struggles to keep them due to higher taxes that kick in at much lower income levels, limited opportunities to scale companies, weaker commercialization of ideas, and much better pay and growth potential south of the border.
-> Talent leaves mainly through temporary US work visas rather than permanent moves
-> Outflows are heavily concentrated among the highest skilled, especially in tech and advanced degrees
-> Onward migration is worst among immigrants and top university graduates
-> Canada has a missing middle of medium sized firms, relying instead on many tiny businesses and a few large ones
-> Personal tax rates often exceed 50 percent in major provinces and apply at much lower thresholds than in the US
-> Complex corporate tax rules push entrepreneurs toward tax planning instead of growth

All of this weakens productivity, innovation, and domestic returns on education, making Canada a feeder system for the US economy

Being 43 is wild. People your age are living completely different lives.

Some are grandparents. Some are raising toddlers. Some are newly divorced. Some are newly engaged. Some haven’t slept in three years. Some are in St. Tropez posting Aperol spritzes from a yacht.

Some look 25.
Some look like they personally remember the invention of Tupperware.

Nobody got the same assignment.

“Give them a massive amount of oil, agricultural land, copper, freshwater, and every natural resource in the world. Now make them neighbors with the biggest market in the world. Great, now have them leave the resources in the ground and instead flip condos to each other”.

@SoftMocShoes Are you having system issues? I’ve received at least 5 “delivery confirmation” emails in the last hour for an order I made in Dec 2025 and have already received…🤔

[RMC86 @RMC19861987]

This is the bilingual CEO of TC Energy, a 🇨🇦 company that moves 30% of ALL natural gas within North America across 94,000 km of pipelines. He successfully chaired a 🇺🇸 gov’t study to streamline permitting. His analysis of Canada’s competitiveness?

“Canada has fallen behind… for too long capital has not felt welcome here… we’re competing with the world under a very different set of expectations…the US sanctioned $56 billion of LNG projects, Canada zero… we began construction 8 months after filing our permit (in Mexico)… their Plan 2030 seeks to attract investment of $300 billion."

While Carney dithers with his net zero nostalgia, 🇨🇦 is losing out.

its really crazy that the entirety of the canadian census is:
- how many people live here?
- are they transgender?
- can they speak french?

You know things are bad when even Fatih Birol of the IEA is saying that Canada needs to get its act together and start developing more oil projects!
