Last night, Mark snuck out of Halifax, and flew his enormous jet to Ankara.
This is just the latest of his many overseas trips this year.
This one flight burned roughly 60,000 litres of jet fuel, and emitted over 150,000kg of CO2.
Mark wasn't finished flying, after he landed in BC.
In Vancouver, he announced that the federal tanker ban would continue, for environmental reasons.
Then he flew to Alberta.
It would take the average Canadian 45 years to emit as much CO2 as Mark has emitted today.
On today's date in 1901, over half of the U.S. was at or above 90°F and nearly 9% of the land area was at least 100°F. The same weather occurring this week occurred exactly 125 years ago, but according to most climate alarmists, it was just weather in 1901, but this week's three-day event is undeniable proof that we are facing a climate catastrophe.
I just heard on the radio with @bradcsmith that all the C02 Canada has removed over the last 5 years, with taxes and whatnot, China produces in 32 hours. 🇨🇦🇨🇳
Well done, Liberals. You're absolute morons.
You think Canada has telecom competition.
It doesn’t.
Rogers, Bell and Telus just sell you different logos under the same empires.
Fido. Koodo. Virgin. Public. Chatr. Lucky. Shaw. EBOX.
That is not real choice.
Narcissistic parents maintain control by keeping their children dependent.
As long as the child needs them, the child has to appease them—people-please, agree, flatter, and say whatever the parent wants to hear.
Independence is dangerous to a narcissist because it ends their leverage.
And the child who can’t be controlled, often gets destroyed.
Good morning to all friends that know where the 🇨🇦 Canadian 170 Billion barrels of recoverable oil is located…and yes relatively almost no oil in BC, mostly gas…🫡🪒
Over 21,000 cars sold in Ontario have had their odometers rolled back in yet another scam perpetrated by Indians
Thats 21,000 that have been caught
Imagine how many there actually are
It's shocking that more Canadians haven't done this.
The text of the treaties isn't some secret or historical mystery lost to time.
These are documents that have been preserved and are freely available online.

Mark just flew from Ottawa to Calgary, to sign a piece of paper promising emissions reductions.
This one-way trip emitted more CO2 than the average Canadian does in three years.
The flight burned almost 5,000L of jet fuel, and the total carbon emissions were over 11,000kg.
We received the paperwork from Alto High-Speed Rail regarding our dairy farm today, and with it came a profound sense of grief. What is being presented as progress carries devastating consequences for the people and places rooted in this land, farms, family homes, wildlife habitats, small businesses, churches, and even cemeteries stand in the path of irreversible change.
For many of us in Eastern Ontario, this is far more than an infrastructure project. It is the beginning of a deep psychological and emotional loss.
This project is expected to cost Canadians billions of dollars amounting to roughly $10,000 per Canadian. Massive 16 foot barriers and fencing will divide communities, block side roads and destroy the countryside that generations of families have called home.
Current projections suggest it may not be fully paid off until 2093 leaving future generations responsible for the cost.
In our case, the proposed route leaves us without enough productive land to properly feed our cows and sustain our dairy operation. 500 farms will be removed, the impact on farming families will be severe and long-lasting.
All Canadians deserve to be fully informed about what this project truly means not just in terms of transportation, but in terms of the human cost, these are not empty fields on a map. They are livelihoods, ecosystems, histories, and communities that cannot be replaced once they are gone.

Please contact your MP to stop this train. Thank you.
@REWoman "horticultural" vinegar is ~25% vinegar. I buy "industrial" vinegar that's ~50-75% vinegar (very strong fumes that you won't want to breath in) and dilute it 50-50 myself in an old spray bottle (like from windex). Boiling water works great if just interlock-brick weeds.
Most people look at the oil price.
The forward curve already told you everything weeks ago
A quick primer first.
When the contract trades BELOW spot, that's backwardation.
The market is saying: the commodity today is worth more than the commodity later.
It signals tight supply, low inventories, or acute stress in the physical market.
When backwardation appears in crude, it usually means one of 3 things:
Inventories are falling fast
Supply is disrupted
Buyers are paying a premium to secure barrels now
All 3 now are currently true.
Since the Iran war began, Brent has been in deep backwardation.
The Strait of Hormuz disruption removed 20% of global seaborne oil from normal routing overnight.
Buyers scrambling for non-Gulf barrels pushed spot prices up sharply while deferred contracts stayed lower, pricing in an eventual resolution.
That spread IS the market's fear, quantified.
There's also a roll yield implication.
In backwardation, rolling a long position earns the roll you sell the more expensive expiring contract and buy the cheaper next one.
It's one reason commodity funds have outperformed during the war period beyond just the spot price move.
Now watch what happens to the curve if the Iran MoU gets signed.
Spot premiums compress.
The curve flattens or flips toward contango.
That move will show up in the forward curve before it shows up in headlines.
The curve has already voted.
The question is what it votes next.
This mechanic is sitting in the shop getting hit with the exact question every used-car shopper secretly wonders: “Would you actually buy these cars at this many miles?”
His quick, no-BS answers (complete with those perfect surprised faces and little laughs) are pure gold — super honest and based on real shop experience.
He ends it perfectly by saying the best car over 100,000 miles is simply a well taken care of car.
My dad was a mechanic, and I found myself nodding along and saying yes to almost all the same ones he did — it was a cool moment of agreement!
Did you agree with everything he said? Drop your yeses, nos, and hot takes below.
