The US doesn’t need anything from Canada, they say.
NYC is in the middle of an extreme heat warning right now. Heat index near 110. First time the city might hit 100 degrees since 2012. Con Edison is already reducing voltage in parts of Westchester and the Bronx to manage the grid strain.
And a month ago, on June 1, a brand new $6 billion transmission line called Champlain Hudson Power Express started sending Quebec hydropower straight into Queens. It now covers 20 percent of NYC’s electricity demand. That’s enough for 1 million homes, flowing in from Hydro-Québec dams, on a 25 year contract.
Before that line went live, NYC got roughly 90 percent of its power from fossil fuels and about 3 percent from hydro. This heat wave is exactly the kind of event that line was built for. Peak demand, grid stress, and a fifth of the city’s power now coming from Canada.
That’s an engineering decision New York made after 15 years of planning because it needed the supply.
Doesn’t need anything from Canada. Sure.
Alphonso Davies. Our captain. 🇨🇦
In 2000, he was born in a refugee camp in Ghana.
In 2005, his family was resettled in Canada as refugees.
In 2017, he became a Canadian citizen.
Now, he is leading our country onto the world's biggest stage.
This is the Canadian story. My heart is bursting with pride.

Canada plays Morocco today in the round of 16.
I never thought I'd be saying that in my life!
No matter what happens, this team has made an entire country proud and has inspired a whole generation and, for that, they should be proud ❤️
LET'S GO CANADA 🇨🇦

Today is Memorial Day in Newfoundland and Labrador.
On this day in 1916, 780 men with the Newfoundland Regiment charged into battle at Beaumont-Hamel. Only 68 soldiers answered roll call the next day.
That sacrifice is honoured at the Beaumont Hamel Memorial.

This is one of about 2 million of Canadas 'reflecting' pools.
What's nice about these is that we don't have to paint the inside of them blue to make them look beautiful.

@LawProfHolloway@SarahWilliamsNB Ian: thanks for sharing. My first ever rail trip was Port Elgin NB to Sackville NB with my Grandmother, probably about 1966. I also passed thru that station between Halifax, Bathurst and Montreal over the years.
This picture of a Ukrainian president in front of a Swedish fighter jet may be a sign of a significant change in the wind: if opinion, industry, and force structure align, a northern VIking Ráðagerð could become the mid‑continent super‑region that keeps Russia deterred even... 1/
Sorry for getting all my analysis wrong. The war was a resounding success!
Iran will now open the Strait of Hormuz that was open before the war started
The same Strait the U.S. could have opened, but asked NATO to help open, and NATO refused to open, and now Trump is threatening NATO for not opening the Strait that was open.
We also executed a soft launch of the new and improved Iranian regime, swapping Khamenei Sr for Khamenei Jr and locking in another 40-50 years of continuity.
Oh, and we liberated the Iranian people after threatening to erase their entire civilization. We didn't wipe their country off the map, so technically, we saved them from ourselves. You're welcome Iran.
Lastly, we brought peace to the Gulf that had peace before the war, and we could not bring peace to Lebanon that didn't have peace before the war
Warren Buffett used Berkshire shares to buy great businesses.
Michael Saylor uses MSTR shares to buy Bitcoin.
Same playbook:
Issue shares only if every shareholder ends up owning more value per share afterward.
Buffett built one of the greatest wealth compounding machines in history with railroads, insurance, and cash-flowing businesses.
Saylor is trying to do it with the hardest asset on Earth.
Different asset.
Same mindset.
