[Eric St-Pierre @EricRStPierre]

On this day five years ago Luna was born into this world.

It seems like just yesterday my wife and I were grabbing her from that Mennonite farm.

Today we're going to be giving Luna a real special day on this longweekend Monday.

Happy Birthday Luna!

[Eric St-Pierre @EricRStPierre]

It's been a rough week.

It was a cold week feeling more like March than May.

As a result I was sick as a dog.

Finally on the otherside of it now, and just like that the weather has turned around for the longweekend.

I'll be getting out with Luna for adventures, how about you?

[Eric St-Pierre @EricRStPierre]

I was taking Luna out for a walk today with my wife.

A friendly woman with her dog joined us for a bit. She was super chatty, gave Luna a delicious treat, and her big fluffy dog got one too.

She was especially fired up about the price of gas. She seemed pretty savvy, sharing all the tips she uses to save at the pump, and she kept saying how brutal it is for regular folks now that it’s climbing toward $1.90 a litre.

I told her I was surprised we haven’t hit $2.00 yet, like they’ve already seen in B.C. She looked absolutely stunned.

And you know what? Millions of Canadians are going to wear that exact same stunned look when gas really starts marching north of $2.00 a litre — because it’s coming, folks.

It’s coming hard.

Millions of us are already tapped out and broke. We’re the ones staring at the pump in disbelief, doing the mental math on whether we can afford to drive to work, pick up the kids from hockey, or even run to the grocery store without wincing.

And while we’re scraping by, Canada, this massive, resource-rich beast of a country, could be an absolute economic powerhouse. We could be the energy capital of the world. We could be creating wealth, lowering prices for every family from coast to coast, creating hundreds of thousands of high-paying jobs, and telling the world “come and get it” on our terms. If the Liberals had just positioned us properly.

Instead?

They sold us out to ideology and handed the Americans the keys to our own wallet.

Think about it. Canada sits on the third-largest proven oil reserves on the planet, the oil sands alone are an absolute monster. We’ve got natural gas for days, hydro power that could light up half the continent, and the geography to be the energy bridge between North America, Asia, and Europe. Done right, we could be exporting clean, reliable Canadian energy to the world at full price.

No more selling our raw bitumen at a massive discount to the Americans while they refine it and sell the finished product back to us at a premium. No more begging for pipeline capacity. No more watching our own oil get bottlenecked and discounted because Ottawa spent years demonizing the very industry that could have made us rich.

We could have had pipelines running east, west, and south, Energy East, Northern Gateway, a properly fast-tracked Trans Mountain that didn’t balloon into a multi-billion-dollar clown show. We could have had west-coast ports shipping our product straight to hungry markets in Asia instead of forcing 97% of our crude down a single leaky pipeline into the U.S. market where they set the terms.

We could have built refineries here at home so Canadian families aren’t getting gouged at the pump while American refiners laugh all the way to the bank.

But no.

The Liberals, with their virtue-signaling, their endless environmental reviews, their Bill C-69 that basically made it illegal to build anything bigger than a lemonade stand, and their carbon tax that punishes every driver, trucker, farmer, and senior just trying to heat their home, chose ideology over infrastructure.

They killed project after project. They delayed, they regulated, they virtue-posted on social media while the rest of us watched our lifeblood get siphoned off.

And now?

The Americans have us by the throat.

They control the pipelines.

They control the refining capacity.

They buy our heavy crude cheap because we have nowhere else to send it, then sell us back gasoline and diesel at whatever price the market (and their profit margins) will bear.

Every time global tensions spike or a refinery hiccup happens south of the border, we feel it immediately at the pump, while our own vast reserves sit there like a trapped gold mine we’re not allowed to fully develop.

This isn’t bad luck. This is policy failure on a national scale. This is why your wife is cutting back on groceries. This is why the single mom down the street is choosing between gas money and rent. This is why truckers are idling their rigs because the numbers don’t add up anymore. This is why small businesses in every province are closing their doors.

Energy is the foundation of everything, heating, transportation, manufacturing, food production. When you let ideologues strangle that foundation, the entire economy starts to crumble.

And the worst part?

The Liberals had the chance, hell, they still have the chance under Carney, to flip this script. To say “Canada first,” to fast-track the infrastructure, to partner with industry and Indigenous communities the right way, and to turn our energy advantage into real sovereignty and real prosperity.

We could be the envy of the world instead of the cautionary tale.

We could have 85 cent gas and a booming economy funding better healthcare, better roads, and actual climate innovation that doesn’t bankrupt families.

But they chose the opposite.

They chose the photo-ops, the international applause, the net-zero fairy tales while real Canadians get hammered at the pump and in the wallet.

So the next time you’re standing at that gas station watching the numbers climb, remember this: it didn’t have to be this way. Canada didn’t have to be held hostage by American leverage.

We could have been the energy powerhouse of the planet, rich, independent, and thriving.

Instead we got weak leadership, neglected infrastructure, and a government that would rather lecture you about your carbon footprint than secure your future.

Wake up, Canada.

It’s time to demand better.

Because at $2.00 a litre and rising, we’re not just paying at the pump anymore, we’re paying for decades of Liberal failure.

And Luna and I are tired of watching good, hardworking people get stunned into silence while the country we love gets sold short.

What do you think, am I wrong?

Or is this the conversation we all need to be having before it’s too late?

[Eric St-Pierre @EricRStPierre]

The Liberals are going to gaslight the public in their Spring Economic Update.

They are going to blame the Americans for our inflation, when instead it's their reckless spending that caused it.

I wrote my first article today doing a deep dive on what we can expect.

@EricRStPierre That’s ruff

[Alexis @simply_lexxi]

@EricRStPierre @Timeless_Void 🔥🔥🔥

[Eric St-Pierre @EricRStPierre]

Only 8 days until the Terrebonne by-election in Quebec that could literally decide the fate of the country.

One riding. One vote. The Carney regime, sovereignty, liberty, and the real choices facing every Canadian — it’s all on the line April 13.

I’ve been running Question of the Day here for over two years, sparking real conversations on the tough stuff. Weekend talks have me thinking bigger.

So here’s the real question:
Would you listen to a Question of the Day podcast?

Short episodes. Straight talk. No corporate filler. Sovereignty, Carney, liberty, and the actual decisions we have left as Canadians.

Drop a 🔥 in the comments if you’re in.

Tell me it’s a terrible idea if you’re not.

[Alexis @simply_lexxi]

@EricRStPierre Stealing my quotes while I think your ignoring me ..

[Alexis @simply_lexxi]

@EricRStPierre No, that’s a doggo

[Eric St-Pierre @EricRStPierre]

Fallout had a decent release day yesterday.

Hundreds of streams via different platforms.

It looks like I've secured some music blog coverage that should be coming in the weeks ahead.

If you haven't heard it. Here's whole song.

My Mom describes it as WW3 predictive programing. 😅

[Eric St-Pierre @EricRStPierre]

105 seconds of raw energy doesn't lie.

This one hits different.

New single from Suburban Bicycle Gang out now. Stream it, feel it, ride it.

Who's spinning Fallout on repeat already? #newmusic #indierock
