@JasonGregor @travelaw64 We have followed the money and that is why there is a vote in October.

Key Context
Facts Matter
The oil sands are estimated to emit .12% of total global emissions.
China emits the same amount that the entire Canadian oil sands industry emits in a full year in roughly 1.3 days.

The Canada Pension Plan (CPP) has over 2,000 employees.

Top 5 managers, make more than $5 million per year.

They have never beaten the market.

Nevada has 1 guy. Who invests in ETFs.

Does nothing. All day.

And he outperforms the CPP.

Consistently.

For further context, if CPP invested in QQQ, for the last 10 years, instead of $800 billion in assets, we would have $2.4 Trillion.

VOO would put it at $1.6 trillion.

Lesson: The government will never outperform the market.

So don’t think the Sovereign Debt Fund will be any different.

@jkenney Get out of mom’s basement, go outside and get some sunshine. You remain irrelevant in AB.

Boom! John Ibbitson "Well, they are an angry people and they have every reason to be angry."

"From the time the provinces were founded, when Albertans, Saskatchewan, were not given the natural resources powers that other provinces had, to the latest regulation from Ottawa limiting the development of the oil sands for environmental or other reasons, Albertans have been put upon by a central Canadian elite, looks at them as something of a colony."

"And the result of that indifference and condescension from central Canada is this referendum on a referendum. We're responsible for that here in the center." @JohnIbbitson

Incredible.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg was one Trump most vocal enemies. She detested him and was outward about it.

This is how he reacted to her passing.

Looks like Mark Zuckerberg has joined the ranks of the crazed conspiracy theorists who claim that the Biden administration pressured Facebook to censor dissent during Covid.

I'm hesitant to post this because I don't really like any aspect of the political system. But here is what I heard last night at the Must/Trump conversation and I'm curious what part of this people disagree with:

[Not Jerome Powell @alifarhat79]

The White House: We’re unable to track $6.2 billion dollars sent to Ukraine.

California: We’re unable to track $24 billion dollars spent to combat homelessness.

The Pentagon: We’re unable to track $2.3 trillion dollars of military spending.

The U.S. Treasury: We’re unable to track $5 trillion dollars of pandemic spending.

The IRS: We know you sent $601.57 to your friend, you better report it or you’re going to jail.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Amazing that some people still think the news is real 😂

Your not welcome at my company”
