Head in hands wondering how this could happen to me, the popular president who posted a video of myself shitting on everyone 2 weeks ago

"I am openly defying a court order so I can starve children if Democrats don't let me take healthcare away from millions" once again we are in 'too evil for a saturday morning cartoon' territory

I love that demand flexibility has gotten to the mainstream point of being featured in the NY Times. Kudos to Tyler for his persistent and very clear push for this smart solution to manage demand growth. 🔌 💡

I have a @nytimes.com op-ed today on managing power demand growth. Central point: load growth is an opportunity to *offset* upward rate pressure (and avoid gas overbuild), if we plan the system to make fuller use of infrastructure we’ve already paid for. 🔌💡 www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/o...

I am looking for a post-doc working on behavioral/environmental/urban/energy economics to join my group at the University of Copenhagen. Position is 2 years (possibly 3), good salary, free health insurance, one of the most livable cities in the world. Apply here: jobportal.ku.dk/videnskabeli...

@paulisci.bsky.social headline potential!

This is an important editorial for Canadians to read and digest. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

An Australian vulture company that funds lawsuits made a massive profit off the UCP government via Andrew Nikiforuk. Alberta's Big Payouts to Spurned Australian Coal Miners via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

“There hasn’t been an American diplomat posted here in 100 years who has been as unlikeable, as obnoxious, as egotistical as Mr. Hoekstra. He is a third-rate bully who imagines that any of us who exist outside of the U.S. are inferior.”

“Allowing the matter to pass without comment will set a terrible precedent and simply encourage further breaches of protocol.” If we’re not going to PNG this guy, at least haul him in. Amen.

A note to Canadian parents: It’s Game 6 on Friday, so Halloween is over at 7:30 pm this year. If you show up at my door after then, I’m giving your children chewing tobacco.

This photo of rookie Yesavage casually walking off the mound as future Hall of Famer and helmet-less Ohtani is still in motion striking out is everything. #WantItAll

My kids are delighted that the World Series is going six or seven games 🤷

Remarkable case of false balance. Trump is disappearing people, blowing up boats, musing about third term. Mamdani wants rent freeze and free buses. “Extremes“

Really looking forward to @dieworkwear.bsky.social’s take on this, err, German inspired attire.

From Charlie Demers: "Now batting for the Toronto Blue Jays, Vladimir Guerrero III…"

It will be interesting to see how overriding charter rights, forcing a rejected labour deal on workers, and threatening substantial fines will impact Alberta's plan to add and recruit 3,000 new teachers over the next 3 years.

Not just the Charter (Sections 2 and 7-15), but also bypassing the Alberta Bill of Rights that was amended with great fanfare last fall by the Smith government. Plus the Alberta Human Rights Act.

If the govt can just dictate the terms of a contract—skipping past binding arbitration and legislating away recourse rights—and the public accepts that, well, then what reason would govt have to bargain in good faith with any public sector employees going forward? Dark day indeed. Not acceptable.

This is spot on. Stay the course, @mark-carney.bsky.social. Don’t take Trump’s bait. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Mr Trump, tear down this tariff wall

Just to be clear, yet again, that simply giving in does not bring relief. It invites further torment. Bullies don't stop when you what they demand. They stop when it's clear you won't.

1. Reagan’s speech is real 2. It’s public domain 3. Americans pay the cost of the added 10% tariffs, not Canadians 4. Trump keeps lying because he thinks you’re all too stupid to fact check 5. The average family will pay an extra $4900 this year because his tariffs

Reagan’s words about tariffs are going viral after Trump’s insistence that they are “fake” created a “Streisand Effect”

The president got his feelings hurt, so we're doing 10% more tariffs on Canada. Joke of an administration.

wait did ronald reagan just say go blue jays

What is IN those Epstein files????

Pretty sure Ontario’s ad campaign was never going to get the reach and exposure that Trump just foisted upon it.

Strong “stand still while I punch you in the face” vibes from this industry lobbyist.

The CVMA has a tough job, representing the three North American automakers, which barely speak for themselves in this country otherwise. But, man, is its blaming of Canada for what Trump plus those companies are inflicting on it ever getting tiresome. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

Here’s the Government of Ontario anti-tariff advert featuring Ronald Reagan. Trump would be pissed if you watched it:

Cope, seethe, etc

“It’s like a Seinfeld bill—a bill about nothing.” “They (the province) can assert all the sovereignty they want, but it doesn’t mean anything.”

Nothing says 'on the right side of history' like sending out a bunch of cease-and-desist letters. It was a fair critique @guyfelicella.bsky.social. drugdatadecoded.ca/i-didnt-know...

Today’s AbLawg looks at Alberta’s recent coal lawsuit settlements and points out the already quarter-billion-and-counting settlements greatly exceed the cost claims. ABans deserve more transparency on this costly own goal. ablawg.ca/2025/10/23/t...

This quote sums up why @jeromyyyc.bsky.social got my vote for YYC mayor yesterday. We have too many rigidly ideological people in politics today; glad to reward someone demonstrating the ability to change. Now, to see it! (Doesn’t hurt that he referenced a John Maynard Keynes quote too!)

I was told getting rid of the carbon tax would solve this problem. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

For the past year, I've been doing an embedded "ethnographic" study of Calgary's election. As a consequence, I've mostly kept quiet about it. It'll still be months before I have qualitative results to share, but in the meantime, here are some results from our pre-election survey. #yyccc #yycvote
