As Musk opens up space, some random thoughts from up here in paradise.

My rule is simple: don’t bet against Elon. Canada, almost reflexively, does the opposite.

Canada’s failure to embrace Elon Musk and SpaceX is not an isolated misstep, it is the latest expression of a deeper, decades-long flaw: a persistent lack of economic humility. At a time when global power is being redefined by technological capability, Canada continues to default to caution, complacency, and the assumption that its model requires little adaptation.

Musk, like Alexander Graham Bell before him, has Canadian roots. Bell became a symbol of transformative innovation tied to Canada’s early industrial identity. Yet the modern parallel is uncomfortable: Canada is far more inclined to celebrate innovators in retrospect than to support them in real time. The country reveres past builders while hesitating in the face of present ones confident in its narrative, but reluctant to confront its shortcomings.

Musk represents exactly what Canada claims to lack: a builder of industries, not a manager of assets. SpaceX has fundamentally altered the economics of space, created a new industrial ecosystem, and positioned itself at the center of future defense, communications, and energy infrastructure. These are strategic capabilities. Canada’s response? Indifference at best, suspicion at worst.

The irony is hard to ignore. A political and corporate establishment that loudly signals climate virtue has shown little appetite to embrace Tesla, while moves to sideline or cancel Starlink over Musk’s perceived political affiliations only deepen the contradiction, especially as figures like Carney and Ford now pivot toward rhetoric around a “Fortress North America.” Industrial policy is not a performative art. It demands coherence, discipline, and a willingness to engage with reality rather than posture around it.

This reflects a broader economic structure shaped by that same lack of humility. Canada has optimized for regulatory capture, financial engineering, real estate, banking concentration, and asset inflation, while underinvesting in productivity, innovation, and industrial scale. Capital exists, but it is not deployed toward building globally competitive companies. Risk is not evaluated and priced; it is reflexively avoided.

The reaction to SpaceX IPO made this mindset visible. Instead of recognizing a generational industrial milestone, much of the commentary defaulted to valuation cynicism and personality critique. This is a country more comfortable second-guessing builders than backing them, more fluent in critique than in creation.

The issue is not Musk. It is a system that confuses stability with strength, optics with strategy, and past success with future relevance. Without a reset in mindset, toward humility, realism, and ambition Canada will continue to watch the industries of the future be built elsewhere.

Canada is not being outcompeted, it is choose not to compete decades ago.

Ricky Gervais on 60 Minutes Makes a Crystal-Clear Case for Free Speech

He put it perfectly: the great thing about freedom of speech is that I can say what I want, and you can say you're offended, and I get to decide whether I care or not.

Because let's be honest, there's nothing you can say that someone, somewhere won't find offensive.

That's why blasphemy laws are so absurd, they're basically trying to protect an all-powerful deity from having its feelings hurt.

At the end of the day, we should be free to criticise any idea.

Just because you're offended doesn't automatically mean you're right.

Spot on, Ricky. Free speech isn't about never upsetting anyone, it's about the right to speak anyway.

America was born in fire.

Canada was handed a constitution by its colonial overlords.

One nation fought for its freedom, the other was negotiated into existence by bureaucrats.

Everything that has gone wrong since flows from that founding difference.

Biggers, responding with the actual research:

𝟏. 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞-𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟎𝟎: 𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐓. Per MDAT (the world’s most-used disaster tracking database), despite record CO2 emissions and record heat, climate-related disaster events have not increased since the year 2000.

𝟐. 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞-𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝟏𝟗𝟐𝟎 𝐭𝐨 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓: 𝐃𝐎𝐖𝐍 𝟗𝟕.𝟓%. Per Bjorn Lomborg’s data, fatalities from floods, droughts, storms, and wildfires are at record lows — even with global population having quadrupled in that period.

𝟑. 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐂𝐎𝟐. Tree growth in greenhouses scales UP with CO2. Current atmospheric CO2 is 420 ppm. Even at 835 ppm (double current), trees thrive. Going back millions of years, current atmospheric CO2 is at a HISTORIC LOW.

𝟒. 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐔𝐏 𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝. Global production of fruits, vegetables, and nuts from 1961 to 2022 is at all-time highs. The 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘴 has not stopped any of these foods from getting to market.

The chart Biggers ends on: world CO2 emissions, world GDP per capita, world life expectancy, and world population all went up together starting in the mid-to-late 1800s — when humanity discovered oil, coal, and natural gas. The fossil-fuel era is the most prosperous era in human history.

Canada, Sound familiar?

[The Real Mr Bench @therealmrbench]

Bill Federer explains how free people can be pushed into giving up freedom.

Fear.

Free stuff.

Dependency.

Then he says once people rely on government cheques, benefits, subsidies, and programs, they are far less likely to vote against the system keeping them dependent.

Does this sound like Canada?

Because every election now feels like a bidding war over who can hand out more borrowed money, create another benefit, promise another subsidy, and call it compassion.

At some point, “help” stops being help.

It becomes control with better branding.
