Don’t Believe Carnival Carney

Melanie in Saskatchewan has an important message to share with the Elbows Up crowd:

To Mark Carney & Those Applauding Him:

I am a Canadian paying for a country that doesn’t include me.

I live in the part of the country your map forgets.
About 2,600 kilometres from the nearest stop on your proposed $90 billion train.

I am an overtaxed, under-served Canadian.

I heat my home with rising costs.
I fill my vehicle at almost $2 a litre, depending on the day and my luck.
I watch a country with 163 billion barrels of oil behave like it’s on a meagre allowance.

And you want me to pay for a train I will never use.

How thoughtful.

“Calling for stand down”.

RCMP officers were executing a search warrant at an illegal cannabis storefront on Highway 4 in Potlotek at 7:30 a.m. when a group gathered to protest and blocked the highway.

“In consideration of protester safety, officers chose not to leave the premises using their vehicles. Once officers cleared their vehicles of weapons, they departed on foot and their vehicles remained in Potlotek,” the force said in a news release Friday.[…]

“The seven RCMP vehicles that remained in Potlotek after the search warrant execution on April 2 were removed from the community this morning. Damage to the vehicles includes broken windows, dents, deflated tires, removed tires, and urine-soaked interior surfaces,” it said.

“Protest”. That’ll help with recruitment.

Un-Fun Times Ahead

I asked Grok the following question:

Putting yourself in the shoes of a Canadian with conservative views, speculate on some scenarios that might cause prosecution of such a person for something they might say, write, or do under Bills C-9 and C-12.

Here’s how it responded. I personally believe that professional activists are going to use these bills to shut down any speech they disagree with. Plus, anyone in any protected group will be able to say anything they wish, knowing they’ll never be prosecuted.

It’s April 1.

The industrial carbon tax is rising to $110 per tonne today—120% higher than when we last faced a major geopolitical energy shock during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Also today, regular MPs in Ottawa get an ‘automatic’ $8,800 raise. Cabinet ministers get a $13,300 raise and Carney gets a $17,500 raise.

In related developments…

“Wow. So it looks like the Davos speech was all a big illusion.”

Pardon, Not Sorry

The Board of Directors of Air Canada today announced…

… that Michael Rousseau has informed the Board that he will retire by the end of the third quarter of 2026, after nearly two decades of strong and dedicated leadership that has reinforced Air Canada’s place as a leader in the airline industry domestically and globally. Mr. Rousseau will continue to lead the company and to serve on its Board until that time.

In today’s other “learn who rules over you” news, Ma Wing-tsung all good.

The first article in this feed details Carney’s plans to buy votes in the Maritimes, so there’s not a whole lot new there. The second one is more interesting for what it doesn’t mention, as opposed to what it does. Given the current geopolitical situation, you’d think Ottawa’s priority would be to streamline the process for building oil and gas pipelines as opposed to wind farms, but then again this is the Liberal Party we’re talking about here.

The prime minister went on to cite Houston’s ambitious plan for the Wind West project, which calls for building Canada’s first offshore wind farms at an enormous scale.

On Wednesday, Hydro-Québec said it has issued a formal request for information from energy developers to help it determine timelines and costs for building transmission lines to potentially connect Quebec’s electricity grid with Nova Scotia’s proposed offshore wind farms.

According to an event advertisement obtained by The Bureau;

…on Monday Carney will appear as the headline speaker at a $1,775-a-head fundraiser co-hosted by Ma at Angus Glen Golf Club in Markham, Ontario — in the riding held by co-host Energy Minister Tim Hodgson. The advertisement lists Ma as one of three hosts alongside Hodgson and MP Gary Anandasangaree. Tickets for those 35 and under are priced at $925.

His real name is Ma Wing-tsung, but his friends call him “Proxy”.

The exchange on Thursday struck some online observers as extraordinary, in part due to the standing of the witness: Margaret McCuaig-Johnston, a 37-year veteran of the federal public service who served on the Canada-China Joint Committee on Science and Technology for the final seven years of her government career, holds a master’s degree in International Relations with a focus on China, and has visited China multiple times since 1979.

Michael Ma, the member of Parliament for Markham-Unionville, opened his questioning by asking McCuaig-Johnston whether she held an advanced degree in cybersecurity — framing it as a yes-or-no question. She replied that she did not, but added: “I have spent 37 years in that business. Ok.”

Ma interjected repeatedly, pressing her for “short answers.” He noted that she is affiliated with the China Strategic Risk Institute, a line of questioning that appeared designed to suggest the witness was professionally predisposed to identify threats emanating from Beijing.

He then asked: “This question then, is — you claim about forced labour in Xinjiang. Have you witnessed this yourself? Have you been there ever?”

“Sorry, I’m late for a meeting.”

The Vibe Economy

Gradually Then Suddenly It's Probably Nothing New Governor 7 Comments

It’s my sense that interest rates are going to head down, not up, as the economy sours. While energy prices might be going up, their effect can be offset by slumping demand as businesses halt energy intensive projects. But in any case, David Rosenberg is spot on about there being no “vibrancy of demand” in the Canadian economy.

“But we are in a totally different orbit than we were back then,” Rosenberg said. “Where is the vibrancy of demand growth in a Canadian economy? It is nonexistent.”

First-quarter growth will likely come in below one per cent annualized, according to the latest gross domestic product data, well off the Bank of Canada’s forecast of 1.8 per cent, and core inflation has inched ever closer to the central bank’s two per cent target, though headline inflation is expected to accelerate on higher energy prices.
