MATCHUP CONFIRMED! Canada will take on South Africa in Los Angeles on June 28 in the Round of 32! 🇨🇦🇿🇦 #FIFAWorldCup

this is barely even a joke, one of the loudest complaints about our DSA electeds locally has been that they’re extremely adept at wielding technical procedure against the more centrist bloc

As a reminder: The Alberta referenda are not just a single question about separatism. There are 10 questions. Some are about marginalizing immigrants, some are fantasies about reforming confederation. All are worded to fuel resentment regardless of outcome: calgary.citynews.ca/2026/02/19/a...

Won’t someone think of the owners of multiple real estate properties

this is a great illustration of one of the fundamental insights of democracy — that there is no such thing as "the people" and that majorities are elusive and ever shifting. no election, no decision, is final and treating an election as a final decision is profoundly undemocratic.

This was a really interesting podcast if you’re wondering what the new normal looks like in the Persian gulf

Chat, is that good

Basically these are apocalyptic numbers for oil, and WTI is under $70, despite few low flow out of the Persian gulf, and very little inbound tankers (and mostly Iran inbound - which doesn’t resolve GCC shut ins).

Hard to imagine what I would do differently from the UCP if my goal was to alienate every last swing voter within Calgary’s city limits.

These guys are incapable of learning

This is totally unsurprising to me, because i know people who have never left their province even for travel in Canada.

These guys talk like Russians

Big Bratt family news. My nephew Mitch Bratt has been called up by the Arizona Diamonbacks for his major League debut. His dad, girlfriend, and uncles are all on our way to St. Louis where they are playing the Cardinals. Very exciting.⚾

One thing has been made clear time and again from conservatives' forays into media: you can make money or you can do propaganda. Both? That dog don't hunt.

The 2026 World Cup has shattered one of soccer's favorite myths. The biggest draws aren't England, France, Germany, Spain or the young stars. They're Mexico, the USA, Argentina, Brazil, and Messi (39) & Ronaldo (41). GOATs, immigration, and geography matter much more than FIFA rankings.

If you’re in politics to solve problems (and the lack of housing in Vancouver is a problem) then you will eat shit to resolve the problem. If you’re in politics to benefit yourself, then you just keep on keeping on without rocking the boat. Frankly i think the plan is a good one.

i remember telling someone i know "either remove land restrictions and let market work, or bulldoze the rich part of town and put up apartments" and despite being quite left; they opposed both options! weird!

Look at Timmins -james bay in 2021. That was a top 3 PPC riding. And many greens parked their votes there because the greens didn't have a candidate.

So how are those ships going to get out

This is anti-Canadian discrimination

Rug pull lol

It’s hilarious how he’s Streisand effecting this

aha. yes. i see.

9 million barrel draw

Here is another example of a crazy pro- algae (likely paid) protestor.

I regret to inform you the Regime Accountant has posted another HoF skeet

Ah yes the classic trading pattern I know so well from my years of technical analysis training, the rug pull

Wasn’t the SPR data supposed to drop today?

The U.S. SPR (strategic petroleum reserve) will likely fall to fresh 43-year lows when DOE updates the data in a few hours. To put it in perspective, while a 43-year low sounds daunting, another perspective is that it stands at ~47% of capacity.

What did @regimecpa.bsky.social know?

“I carry with me a photo of a Muslim child who, during my visit to Lebanon, was standing there holding a sign that said ‘Welcome, Pope Leo,’ and in this latest phase of the war, he was killed. “As a Church, I say again: as a pastor, I cannot be in favor of war.” — Pope Leo XIV

also as the dynasty wore on there were more and more cases where dad candidates scored #1 on provincial-level examinations but just never found a position

Here’s to never ending circles…

A short tale

Starmer‘s unique inability to do the job he has cannot be blamed on the electorate. The electorate didn’t force him to push trans people under the bus. They didn’t force him to take days to condemn nakedly-racist policies. They didn’t prevent him from resolving policy disputes between ministers.

do cops have real jobs? these guys are hundreds of miles from where they're supposed to be protecting & serving because they're guarding Trump's decaying slime pool

He has no idea what he signed.

A hardline lawmaker sparked a major backlash after reading excerpts from what were described as top-secret letters by Iran’s Supreme Leader on state TV, claiming he opposed US talks, before he was interrupted and the program was abruptly cut off. iranintl.com/en/202606208041

The Justice Department quietly deleted thousands of press releases about the Jan. 6 insurrection So Lawfare restored them: more than 5,700 pages recovered and publicly archived. @tylermcbrien.com, @michael-feinberg.bsky.social, and @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org explain how.

It is disturbing that CENTCOM reports 55 vessels and 15M barrels of oil and product -- 75% of prewar normal -- transited Hormuz today, no details given, while shipping and energy industry tracking sites all report 1/10th to 1/5th that number.

Pretty sure Walker Percy was saying the same shit about authenticity sixty years ago & it was silly for the same reason then as now: the things you hate as artificial & constructed are as organic & real as trees & stones. To deny them that is to deny your own nature.

Because the agreement was the war stopped everywhere, including Lebanon. If you’re not enforcing that term, then suddenly the US thinks you won’t enforce the reparations terms, and slow walks those before abandoning them. If you want the MOU to work for you it must be enforced wholly.

So Iran gets a bunch of oil out, some cash, and some ships carrying essential goods like food and medical supplies back in, meanwhile the amount of oil that got out in the last few days maybe can sustain pacific and Indian Ocean demand for a week. 1 side is coming out way better than the other

The something is regulators have given up on doing their job of investigating securities fraud.

Iran just clowning the shit out of these guys.
