Incumbent German electricity suppliers said in 1993 that renewables could not provide more than 4% of electricity in the long run. In 2025, renewables provided 55.9% of Germany's electricity — 14 times the predicted ceiling.

All new homes in England, not a geography known for its sunny clime. Wouldst the same idea overcame Canada.

And once again, provinces are off the hook for allowing fraudulent strip mall colleges to run rampant, most especially Ontario. Doug Ford reversed Wynne's plan to wind them down, and instead let them flourish. And once again, the federal government takes all the blame.

Taking care of business. We need to do this and move on.

There was a time when Hawaiians came to Canada to work for the Hudson's Bay Company. There is a theory that the word "canuck" comes from the term for these workers. It is a little known part of the long history of the HBC. This is the story. 🧵 1/10

Ben Mulroney warns his audience about a rise in car theft by playing a clip from Grand Theft Auto (podcast)

Canadians refusing to hand over or unlock a device can also face serious consequences; they will almost certainly be denied entry to the U.S., and the refusal could trigger a forensic search, said immigration lawyer Mario D. Bellissimo www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

there was also a Stanford study that found that a surge in AI slop by lazy people actually created significantly more work for others who had to decipher and correct it this "I'm being efficient" (but not really) vibes well with the American obsession with artifice and appearing productive

On Aug. 17, 1923, the 71-branch Home Bank of Canada failed. Faced with public outcry over constant bank failures, the government acted. Since 1923, two Canadian banks have failed, while 17,000 have failed in the USA. This is the story of Home Bank of Canada 🧵 1/12

Dr. Norman Bethune was one of the most influential physicians of his era. He pioneered the use of a mobile blood transfusion unit in war zones, and introduced modern medicine to rural China. Revered in China, it took decades for Canada to honour him. This is his story. 🧵 1/12

Ben Mulroney accidentally shares video with fake footage of him being a respected media figure

If you spend time in the bad place, you’re hearing this claim a lot: Alberta sends $23B more to Ottawa than it gets back. If we separated, we’d erase the $9B deficit and have a $14B surplus. It sounds simple. It’s wrong. Here's why. 🧵

More than 32,000 assault-style firearms have been declared so far in Canada. Over 13,000 in Ontario. So despite what we are seeing in the media etc a large number of the owners are stepping up. The deadline is March 31, 2026. www.canada.ca/en/public-sa...

In 2024, Danielle Smith wrote a letter to Justin Trudeau to complain that they didn't get *more* immigrants than their planned allotment. (She also wanted more Ukrainians specifically, and we all know why). Receipts:

I do not know of a discipline that has worse intellectual standards than Economics. How bad is it? Well, the "Nobel Prize for Economics" is a fraud. It was invented by the Swedish Central bank in the 60s. This guy is not a Nobel Laureate, but he thinks he is. That's how bad it is.

@mark-carney.bsky.social How can this be allowed in this country?

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

As critics attack Ottawa’s agreement last week to start allowing a small number of Chinese electric vehicles into Canada, China’s envoy to Ottawa says Beijing wants to partner with Canadian autoworkers to create good jobs and build cheaper cars.

If cost isn't the issue, what is? Ideology. "If we compare the operating costs of postal services around the world, we see that Canada Post’s operating costs are actually well below the average among its peers. This is particularly impressive given the unique challenge of Canada’s vast geography."

The Contrarian

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

Australian here 👋 Stop saying the tragedy in Sydney demonstrates that strict gun laws don’t work. There were ZERO mass shootings in Australia in the two decades after strict gun laws were passed in 1996. We have so much we need to do, but strict gun laws remain a critical part of the solution.
