While US automakers pull back, China is scaling up. In the Age of Electricity, the US has effectively ceded the EV competition to China.

TikTok is censoring the words “Epstein” and “ICE” — and that alone should tell you how fast political censorship just arrived in America.

"Except in Manitoba the question is going to be 'do you want to stay a part of Canada?' and the two choices are going to be yeah and heck yeah." Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew weighs in on the conversations around Alberta's potential referndum on sovereignty.

If the Russians or Chinese had done this, we’d be expelling their ambassador…

I hadn’t looked in a while but Alberta’s emissions credits (the industrial carbon price) are now at C$41/tonne. This is up from $18 only 2 months ago when the AB-CAN MOU was signed. Quite the move. Recall that the MOU includes words calling for this price to rise to $130.

Danielle Smith said it was a "very good discussion," that she'd work to ensure British Columbians would benefit from a new pipeline, and that she wants to work with BC on a "comprehensive package of projects that will benefit both of our provinces"

Despite some concerted efforts to effect the contrary, solar + wind + nuclear accounted for ~100% of global electricity generation growth in the first 11 months of 2025.

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents border patrol officers at the National Border Patrol Council, calls on Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to resign or be fired

Politicians gotta start calling for Miller to go. Right now.

Good article on the pathological liar that Trump is. I shouldn’t be, but I am still shocked that “32% of Americans still find this guy ‘honest and trustworthy’”. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/25/u...

Umm… hard NO to this. Has this master of strategery learned nothing from Trump’s behaviour? No amount of appeasement nor pride swallowing will satisfy Trump. It just emboldens the next ask/demand. Firm resolve. Build what’s in our control. And stay the course as a sovereign nation. 🇨🇦

This man is no assassin. No domestic terrorist. Just someone who could be any of us who cares deeply about right and wrong. Whose last words were those of care for others in danger. #RIPAlexPretti

That's Kremlin & White House spokesman Peskov for you.

The govt lying about the killing of a U.S. citizen at the hands of the state, is by itself, a front page a story, worthy of drumbeat coverage, resignations, and impeachments.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Everyone from the officers on the ground to the politicians condoning the violence to the Trump admin who are directing it needs to be ultimately held accountable for what they've done.

750MW of $450US oil-fired power headed to Quebec this hour...

This was murder. Pretti did not initiate the confrontation. He didn’t strike them. He didn’t brandish his gun. They tackled him, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him.

If the Democrats were serious about meeting the moment every Senator and House leader would be in Minnesota this afternoon.

Walz: "I call on all Americans to see the decency this state is exhibiting, and the horrific cruelty, unprofessional, absolute abomination that is passing for what these f--- ICE agents are doing on our streets."

What we are watching is a paramilitary force learning that they can kill with impunity, that the regime will smear the victim and defend them. Unless politicians and the legal system exerts accountability, it will not stop. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/past-the-b...

You can't predict what he will say, what he says doesn't predict what he will do, what we do is largely irrelevant (except for predictable rants at unpredictable intervals) and the US government has no influence. Just get on with doing what fits with our interests and values.

“It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.”

Something's changed...

There is no bargaining with such people; the only recourse is firm, principled, unwavering opposition. That is true for Americans who wish to retain — or at this point restore — their democratic institutions. It is true for Canadians as well.

Federally, the @mark-carney.bsky.social government must summon the US ambassador for an explanation and, barring a complete retraction and an apology, expel him in protest. Provincially, Alberta government needs to pick a side. Are Premier Smith and the UCP loyal to Canada, or separatists?

Make no mistake, America is coming for Alberta. This requires a response at the federal, provincial, and community level. Federally, the government must summon the ambassador for an explanation and, absent a complete retraction and apology, expel him. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

"The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand."

This will be the next front in Trump’s push to break Canada. Made possible by those who have stoked, coddled and enabled the fringe separatists in Alberta.

It’s hard to accurately describe what is happening in Minneapolis without sounding crazy. Unmarked rental vans all over the city, with people in military gear and no id jumping out of them to take captive anyone who looks nonwhite or who makes political speech they disagree with.

"They stayed a little back." America is the only country that has ever called for help from NATO. NATO answered, thosuands of allied troops fought and hundreds died. Every time he belittles this, global fury at this guy and the nation that elected him grows. Americans will not be forgiven.

Natgas futures jumped nearly 75% in the past 3 days with the big winter storm coming. But if you’re in Alberta and on a floating rate, you still have nothing to fear. AECO gas now participating in the price surge. Still under $3 per GJ.

"Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners. And necessity has made us allies. Those whom nature hath so joined together, let no man put asunder." - Pres. John F. Kennedy, May 17, 1961, Address before the Canadian Parliament.

When Biden stared blankly during a debate it was the end of his candidacy. This raving lunatic doesn’t even know the name of the allied country he wants to invade. Trump needs to go.

I see the Americans are taking obnoxious to new heights this week

Lindsey knew what was coming…

Bone spurs?

The mood right now in Canada 🇨🇦 Our national newspaper front page:

There has never been a Canadian Prime Minster that has used this kind of language since 1945. It's astonishing. The most powerful statement since Freeland's speech on Canadian foreign policy in the House in 2017 (which was also a response to Trump) - and this goes well beyond that.

Well said, @mark-carney.bsky.social !

He better follow up this strong statement by adding: “and that is why I am also not joining this shambolic ‘board of peace’”
