I subscribe to X for news. I reply to/re-post stuff with which I agree or from people I admire. I speak out/snark at stuff I find wrong or insane. Gen X.

You're not going to believe how nasty Delta is.

​Delta CEO Ed Bastian got caught trashing Elon Musk at internal meetings to explain why they rejected Starlink. But don't buy the corporate moral high ground for a second.

​Delta tested Starlink, but Elon refused to let them trap passengers behind ad-tracking portals to farm and sell user data. SpaceX wanted instant connection just like home, with zero data harvesting.

​So what did Delta do? They signed with Amazon’s completely untested satellite network which won't even launch fleetwide until 2028. Strictly to monetize passenger information.

​United flyers get 300 Mbps; Delta flyers get dial-up and a data harvest.

🚨Flashback to a few years ago.
@DouglasKMurray calling out the Canadian MSM being essentially propaganda for the Liberal/NDP gov't.

Has anything changed?

Mark Carney makes up a new Ocean Envoy position and appoints his wife to it.

Then donates $1.2 billion of taxpayer funds “to the oceans.” Who knows where that money is going but the two of them.

It’s so insanely corrupt I don’t even have the words anymore.

PUSHED the envelope on duplicity!
INNOVATED a Brand New way to build a majority in parliament!
EXPOSED and tapped into previously undiscovered veins of stupidity in our society.
RECYCLED fear, doom and division to successfully distract the majority away from any shortfall in election promise fulfillment!
SUCCESSFULLY demonstrated the Joly-Anand principle proving that Cabinet can in fact be populated with corrupt drunken fools and No One will notice.
BOLSTERED the CBC with funds from the same fools it lies to all day long - implementing a near perfect self-sustaining societal brain leach!

I've been watching too many people try to dunk on Poilievre on this issue.
Look into the deals Norway, Iceland and Switzerland have with the EU. Closest thing to "associate membership."
And they pay into EU programs, through their national governments, but have no say, no vote.

Today's announcement on LNG Phase II is long-delayed good news. But this project got its permit a decade ago, because of the Harper government. Bad Liberal policies delayed its construction, which has still not begun.

Over the same period, the U.S. built, not announced but built, 9 LNG terminals. Germany built an LNG import terminal in 194 days.

Instead of taking credit for work done by others long ago, Carney should explain why it took him so long to do so little.

The solution is to pre-permit shovel-ready zones. Axe the industrial carbon tax. Get government out of the way and let Canadian workers build. Now: https://t.co/FKCwB2PnNC

@gregbradyx A few more ridings in Hamilton should consider not voting NDP/Liberal. You know, just for a bit.

Over 1,000 Canadians lined up for two days for a job at Costco.

It's like the great depression.

Enough is Enough.

With an estimated $30 Trillion in natural resources Canadians AND Media should demand better from our federal government.

🚨 Sec. Scott Bessent is MIC DROPPING Canada PM Mark Carney! This man never misses.

"We've had a FREE RIDER problem with Canada. And PM Carney, after getting a verbal BEATDOWN from myself and Hegseth, said: 'Stop throwing shade to get negotiations?' Well, HE'S the one who said WE'RE AT WAR!"

"Canada had a great military. They were right there at the forefront on the beaches of D-Day, and what the Canadian government has done to the Canadian Armed Forces, if you look at the ranks of NATO spending, they are near the very BOTTOM, like they're cellar dwellers around with Spain in terms of their military spending to GDP!"

"And why is that? Because they were free riding."

"The Canadian businesses are not with the Prime Minister, the Canadian military is not with the Prime Minister."

"And, you know, he thinks that he got to office on an anti-Trump, anti-Americans, the platform, and it's not going to work out in the long term."

Rush frontman Geddy Lee is endorsing Brad Bradford in his run to be Mayor of Toronto.
Lee says Toronto is changing and not for the better and has issues with the current leadership.
Meaning Olivia Chow.
