As I’ve been saying all along: the biggest impediment to the new west coast pipeline is getting producers to commit the barrels, not federal approvals. Case in point: they won’t even commit to a 250,000 barrel per day increase. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

Behold, a steaming pile of self-serving dung from a recent Globe and Mail op-ed by two business leaders. Reality: the province is suffocating clean energy, no business has “stepped up” to build or fill the pipeline, and oil companies are minting massive profits for themselves, not the federation.

I thought this was just me.

Here's the part that actually matters: "Although the MOU sets the conditions for production growth, Mr. McKenzie said Cenovus’s approach to resource development will remain unchanged, including disciplined spending on capital projects." www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

He's so close to getting it. The train *is* leaving the station. It's just not going to the destination he thinks it is. Also: does Norway just not exist in their mental map of "other oil producers"?

Normal stuff from a Canadian Conservative MP. If they're going to kick the reputation among voters that they're pro-MAGA, they should probably stop importing its most odious messaging and culture wars.

The same people who aggressively resist any attempt to tax and redistribute wealth -- up to and including moving to a different state -- are the same ones who will share the AI-driven superabundance that flows directly and disproportionately to them. You have to be *really* stupid to believe this.
