Canada isn’t short of oil, natural gas or talent.
We’re short of political courage.
For years we’ve buried our own energy sector under delays, regulations and indecision while the rest of the world keeps building. This crisis wasn’t imposed on us. We created it.
It’s time to get out of our own way.

Mark Gerretsen asks whether the Allison Inquiry is a real inquiry or a political hearing.
Fair question. Here’s a better one:
Why has the government that imposed the mandates, the travel bans, and the public campaign against the unvaccinated never held its own public inquiry into the consequences — including vaccine injuries?
When the state refuses to examine the outcomes of its own coercive policies, private citizens and opposition MPs are left to do the work. Attacking those efforts and attempting to delegitimize the experience of the vaccine-injured does not make the underlying questions go away.
A permanent, evidence-based record of what was claimed versus what the evidence actually showed is still needed.
Remembering Larry.
Because you requested it.......#Elks owner Larry Thompson on Sept. 7, 2024, inadvertently drove the famous @GoElks team firetruck through to the #Stamps bench in a hilarious moment narrated by @TSNRyanRishaug#CFL via @CFLonTSN@CFL
It's funny how the Liberals seem so concerned with American influence in our politics except when it benefits them.
You can literally smell the hypocrisy emanating off Joly in this photo with Soros.
The COLDCARD RNG vulnerability may be worse than an exchange hack. It hit at the core of sovereign Bitcoin holders - it struck those who did all the research, understood why self-custody is important, and didn’t keep coins on exchanges.
My heart goes out to everyone affected. It’s a horrible situation and the damage is irreparable. While I have many thoughts and criticisms about how we got here, I’ll hold back because I know nvk is devastated too.
Self-custody is hard. If you advocate for self-custody, you should also be telling people to use a multi-vendor multisig setup. I’ve been saying this for years. Self-custody only works if you do it in a way that minimizes a single point of failure. Don’t trust any single vendor for hardware. Assume everyone is your adversary.
As self-custody is hard, we should be less critical of people who chose to use custodians or hold BTC in ETFs or Bitcoin Treasury Companies. There isn’t a single right or wrong way to use Bitcoin and there are tradeoffs everywhere.
Some people have contacted me about what to do. Here’s what I recommend:
1️⃣ Document everything. Write down all the facts and details you know (dates, addresses, firmware, etc.).
2️⃣ File a police report, as it creates an official record which is useful for a number of reasons. Even better if you can contact a cybercrime unit, national reporting portals (e.g., FBI IC3 in the US), or specialized crypto-crime task forces if they exist.
3️⃣ Watch for coordinated efforts to track movements of funds.
4️⃣ Do not destroy your COLDCARD and seed phrase. Hold onto them as there could be a chance that stolen funds reach an exchange, are frozen, and you need to prove ownership. Write down your PIN too, or note it in your documentation. When you stop using it for a long time, you may forget it.
5️⃣ This next point is very important: DO NOT share your personal details, seed phrase, or send any money to anyone claiming they can “help recover” the funds. Scammers will be targeting people who are desperate.
Just know that almost everyone has lost coins for some reason at some point. Don’t do anything rash. Talk to someone if you need to. You can always rebuild, but only if you’re still here.
For all of us developing wallets, software or hardware, security is the most important thing we provide. People are counting on us and we have to do better.

There is a lot we can say about secure storage, but air-gapping keys (so they never touch the internet) and distributing them (with consensus protocols), helps convert some (but not all) of the cybersecurity challenges you mentioned into physical security ones.
@toronto_morning Well neither seem to care about out of control spending, both are war mongers, both are ripe with conflicts of interest and are corrupt, but I chose Trump as he at least has policies that support economic growth
