Carbon is the New Metal. Will Canada Compete? Alberta, Canada are a global leader in the emerging advanced materials industry, but could be eclipsed by USA and China without more investment and policy support. markhamhislop.substack.com/p/carbon-is-...

Why is Canadian media silent on Conrad Black being in the Epstein files? Black is friends with Maxwell and Trump has been writing op-eds minimizing these crimes. Why are we protecting the Epstein class?

Alberta Does Not Have Grievances. It Has Issues AB doesn’t need a new constitutional deal or separation. It needs better politicians than Danielle Smith and Jason Kenney. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli markhamhislop.substack.com/p/alberta-do...

Donald Trump probably (!) won't order a military attack on Canada. But his administration is happy to interfere in our politics, and we have to respond accordingly: by thickening our informational borders and holding tech companies to account. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/04/o...

Now we can confirm what we’ve always known: this is a separatist government. www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

Just so everyone is clear: the valve here releases pressure that would otherwise build on her leadership from within her party. She would rather lose the country than her own job.

All of this talking about thawing Arctic and the Great Game around the North Pole is bitterly ironic, given that Bannon and Trump consider climate change to be a hoax, but there must be a reason why they are pushing this nonsense. 3/15

Pierre Poilievre was uncharacteristically silent for two days after Mark Carney's big speech in Davos. When he finally opened his mouth, he confirmed just how far out of his political and intellectual depth he is right now. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/01/23/o...

Reality trumps a Poilievre oil fantasy www.nationalobserver.com/2026/01/23/o...

Just genuinely, remarkably stupid. Alberta has plenty of provincial debt -- and more each year. Any separation agreement would require it to take on a proportionate share of the federal debt. If anything, an independent Alberta currency would be a recipe for hyperinflation.

You know how fucked up the US is when France intentionally gave false classified information to Trump and within hours Putin was reacting to the false information he got from Trump

Is this the beginning of a snowball rolling down the hill? Trump is a senile puppet being guided by Russian assets and other addled members of cabinet steering the USA towards the mother of all domestic recessions.

Harper/Poilievre has also done this to the evolution of the Conservative Party. Canada is no different. www.facebook.com/share/r/1C9r...

Donald Trump just drove a stake through Alberta's pipeline dreams. How long will it take for the Canadian oil and gas executives who supported him to realize they got Trumped? #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/01/06/o...

This reeks of bullshit. (This guy was pro-ostrich farmers, which gives you an indication of his politics. I highly doubt the Liberals would go near him with a bargepole).

When is #TeamUSA going to be kicked out of the #Olympics and other sporting events like #TeamRussia was for invading Ukraine?

Ultimate Russian hypocrisy!

Upstream investment didn't just collapse in Alberta, either -- and it wasn't Justin Trudeau's fault. Conservatives have been dining out on this spurious correlation for a decade.

Canada dodged a bullet when Scheer became an also-ran for PM. The man's blindness to the truth when it interferes his ideology is truly beyond parallel. Intentional lying is never "beyond acceptable" for this American citizen. substack.com/@franann61/n...

"It is a transparently obvious attempt to mislead the public about how much money has actually been spent on trying to create new green economy jobs." ...

Seeing Trump's dismantling of Free Trade leads me to reminisce about David Orchard and his strong objection to the Free Trade deal with the US. This is exactly the kind of economic independence the FTA killed. Trump may end up being the correction Canada needed. www.msn.com/en-ca/money/...

If you're wondering how bad misinformation and disinformation in Canada is, The Premiers cut health care, blamed it on the feds, and got away with lying about it.

Jason Kenney ultimately got toppled by his own party's base because he took some tepid steps, belatedly, on COVID-19. Based on the crowd reaction at the UCP convention this weekend, Danielle Smith might get turfed because she tried to co-operate, however reluctantly, with Ottawa.

This one historical fact is the most misunderstood event in 🇨🇦.

There’s lots that’s wrong with this MOU, but the biggest problem is that it’s based on a completely false telling of history since 2010. Carney and Smth keep repeating conservative spin that ignores the single biggest oil crash in history in 2014, which in Canada you would think had never happened

China’s electrifying the Global South. Good luck selling it oil and LNG after 2030. substack.com/@markhamhisl...

Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built. Remember when people thought he wasn't good at politics? www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/27/o...

It’s no surprise that over a third of the UCP caucus has recall petitions filed against them. Scandal after scandal has left people exhausted with this government. Albertans want better. They deserve better. youtube.com/shorts/h2nEc...

Just a reminder for the hostages released by Hamas, you could have been released much sooner, but Netanyahu refused to be part of the Biden peace plan. The same plan that Trump came to the table with. www.theguardian.com/world/articl...

Here's a company that's never given up and keeps plodding forward with solutions to all their challenges. The capital has been hard fought for. Subisy wise, sounds like mostly federal money in assisting. I wonder how far along this project would be if they had equivalent funding as 1.5 B$ in CCS?

It’s funny how wearing masks during a pandemic contagion was too much, but wearing them to beat up brown people is just fine. I thought they interfered with heavy breathing.

David Eby will win this fight seven days a week and twice on Sundays. He's not the one opening the door to separatist referendums and forever blaming Canada for everything that goes wrong in his province.

Canada, more than any other country, faces a difficult choice here: to side with America and the axis of petrostates or lean into the technologies and transition being led by China and Europe. I write about that here: www.nationalobserver.com/2025/09/10/o...

This morning, a Reuters rep contacted me about attending a conference in Houston. I declined, citing Trump's bullying of Canada and the citizen boycott of travel, etc. I forgot to mention ICE detention of 150 Canadians. @CharlieAngusNDP didn't forget. charlieangus.substack.com/p/the-canadi...

Dear @AndrewScheer: Resign, sir. Your Tweet to Rachel Gilmore is a Disgrace @atRachelGilmore says you put a target on her back re. her Charlie Kirk tweet. I agree. Your action is unacceptable from a Member of Parliament. @PierrePoilievre, fire him. youtu.be/-t4dZJVwmig

Half of America is too stupid to see it. Or don't care. Long live the King.

Nothing says, "Hey international companies, bring your manufacturing to the US" like arresting 475 workers at a Hyundai (70% of whom are South Korean).

Then there's Scott Moe ragging the puck for 10 years and then suddenly saying we don't have time. A "can do" attitude goes a long way. www.facebook.com/share/r/1Ao7...

Every single time it goes like this: Conservatives panic about socialism or progressives or whatever. They ally with fascists as the "lesser evil." Fascists take power. Fascists immediately purge the conservatives who helped. Then it's 30-50 years of dictatorship. open.substack.com/pub/cmarmita...
