it’s still wild to me when canadians say EVs aren’t good in cold climates, as though the leader in EV adoption isn’t a nordic country

Norway sold 12 petrol cars in February 2026. Out of 7,272 new passenger car registrations, 98% were fully electric. Just 67 diesel & 12 petrol cars were registered. Hybrids? Only 66 in total mostly plug ins. More in my new Substack newsletter coming out every 7 days. Sign up here: t.co/In5lBaF2ox

You know there is someone in Red Deer talking to their sister-cousin in Grande Prairie and they blaming the bad weather on Trudeau.

New vape on 420 is rather serendipitous.

If I was ethically, morally, and financially bankrupt I would create a personality assessment to sell to companies to assess their employees. Easiest way to make a buck.

I've been in tech & social impact VC my whole career so please believe me that there are only 3 things a tech company will ever do with your data—sell it, use it to sell you things, or compromise it. Folks will @ me w/ "but I found this great small tech company" You may be right. Until you're not.

A movie couple that would definitely have a podcast.

The Banana Splits and H.R. Puffinstuff are some of my earliest memories of television.

SCOOP! Former AHS CEO Athana Mentzelopolous takes legal action against two podcasters after an alleged campaign of harassment, and intimidation over the course of a year. This is tied directly to the “Corrupt Care” scandal. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli open.substack.com/pub/thebreak...

I’ve been hearing a number of concerns about these from constituents. Please reach out to the Edmonton Police Commission as City Council is unable to change their decision: edmontonpolicecommission.com/contact/

Not all heroes wear capes.

By the way, now that Ezra Levant and Rebel News have officially registered as a third party explicitly to attack Mark Carney, this should put an end to any discussion that Der Rebel is a legitimate news outlet that is entitled to attend press conferences and election debates.

So, if there is a nuclear war tonight are employees expected to show up to work tomorrow? Asking for a friend.

For me this US-Israeli war on Iran is like when two US teams are playing in the Stanley Cup. I don’t really care which of these assholes wins, I’m hoping that all of the coaches get fired, and that no riots break out injuring innocent bystanders.

Wait, that was it? What a nothingburger.

Even though it is chilly and snowy I can tell that spring is here. There have been excavators tearing down houses and prepping for new builds this week in my neighbourhood.

Official statement re: Dan Bongino

I really didn't need a reminder of cold war terrors right now, but the current situation feels like it's setting up, at least, a limited nuclear exchange. freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2...

Wow. That is a major own goal.

And he won!!

It is the anniversary of the My Lai massacre today. I'd say that even more than most years, it's important to remember what happened. And the role Hugh Thompson, an active serviceman, played in both stopping and publicising it. Despite enormous military, political and public pressure to stay quiet.

Care to comment, @addictionjournal.bsky.social?

One of the things this winter taught me is that self-driving cars cannot work in snowy cities like Edmonton. With the snow conditions we had earlier this year self-driving cars would be stuck everywhere. The roads would be blocked by these vehicles.

Have I got this correct? The US kidnaps the leader of Venezuela and strong arms the government so that the US has free access to the largest oil reserves in the world. Then they start a war with Iran which ends up blocking one of the most important shipping lanes for oil.

I hope Jello heals quickly and fully.

Two white nationalists I exposed in a recent article showed up to try to intimidate me in person last night. This is a press freedom issue. Here’s what happened:

Danielle Smith called for the feds to send more people to Alberta. She invited people from across Canada to come & paid them $5000 each. Now she wants to blame immigrants for her failure to plan, wild spending & attacks on public services. But the only one to blame is Danielle Smith. #abpoli

Fuck Trump. Fuck the puppeteers behind him. Fuck the GOP, especially congressional Republicans and quisling Democrats, who enabled him. Fuck the people who voted for this, and fuck the media for never reporting on him realistically. Fuck them all, for they have truly fucked us and the world.

And about an hour later Trump launches an attack. There is no reason for this war, it is Trump being a dictator.

So Israel has attacked Iran. This gives Trump an excuse to attack. Notice how Trump’s attacks always occur after markets have closed.

Little snitch coming out as pro-fa.

Mine is that raccoons don’t exist. Anyone who says they do exist is part of the conspiracy.

If there are people who are superstitious are there people who are: megastitious, minorstitious or hyperstitious? Or some who are superdooperstitious? And some who are just stitious?

So if I understand this correctly, Trump is threatening war, or at least some form of economic violence, because he didn’t get the peace prize?

The Deep Freeze Festival in YEG always has an amazing fireworks show. This year’s show was next level. Well done from someone that really doesn’t like fireworks.

I really appreciate the amount of snow and how many people get stuck while driving. I get to meet my neighbours and help out random strangers. Weather conditions like this is what shapes the Canadian personality.

The CBC has just posted a transcript of my recent As it Happens interview about X and Grok. I’m posting a couple of screen shots here - since they are a bit too long for alt text, I’ll post the link to the full transcript below. #cdnpoli #X #Grok #yeg #CSAM
