Coulda Had A Pipeline

“years of mismanagement and underinvestment have seen exports crater” – that’s the CBC unmentioning that Hugo Chávez stole billions in investment when he seized US oil assets.

Interesting hypothesis: Why has the US assembled the largest naval force in the Caribbean since 1962? It’s not about drugs. It’s not about oil.

Better late than never: “I will approve a pipeline”

France & Germany: Designed & Destined to Fail

Baiting The Left Great Moments In Socialism 2 Comments

Any regular visitor to SDA is familiar with how we’re constantly lectured that North America sucks and Europe is amazing. The truth is quite a bit different.

Here are two videos, the first about the rapid downfall of France, the second about the self-imposed destruction of Germany. Both are well worth a watch!

A lot more needs to fall into place before Quebec independence is a done deal, but with any luck we may finally bring decades of frustrating indecision to a solid conclusion.

But the immolation of the Quebec Liberals only solidifies the likelihood that the Parti Québécois will sweep the province’s 2026 election. Once in power, PQ leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon has promised he will be pulling out all the stops to hold a third referendum on secession from Canada. Quebec’s incumbent government, led by the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) under François Legault, is currently plumbing new depths of unpopularity.

Going To The Dogs

At first glance, I thought I was looking at a parody account. But it’s a real thing, complete with a central figure who seems to be channeling Timothy Treadwell.

The non-profit Vancouver Foundation is one of B.C.’s oldest charitable contributors, and in its most recently updated list of grant recipients, it lists a $300,000 grant for a “Decolonial Dog Sanctuary,” a project described as a “form of land-based re-occupation.”

The sanctuary’s overseer is Teresa Brown, who lives on site and is described in Vancouver Foundation grant documents as a “Wilp Matriarch and Hereditary Representative of the territory.”

Brown has said she had limited knowledge of dog care before starting the sanctuary, but believed that aggressive dogs could “evolve into versions of themselves that thirst again for love.”

 

Dairy Farmers Uber Alles!

It’s no surprise that the US sees Canadian supply mismanagement as a major trade irritant; I sincerely hope they don’t back down in trade talks this time around.

Washington’s trade representative says a coming review of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico trade deal will hinge on resolving concerns about Canadian policies on dairy products, alcohol and digital services.

Like clockwork, the water carriers for Big Dairy are falling in line:

Carney said Canada has been clear about its intention to protect the supply management of agricultural products. “We continue to stand by that,” he said at a news conference in Ottawa with Ontario Premier Doug Ford.

Trump Venezuela 22 Comments

Fox News;

President Donald Trump on Tuesday ordered a total blockade of oil tankers entering or leaving Venezuela, declaring the Nicolás Maduro regime a foreign terrorist organization and accusing it of using stolen U.S. assets to finance terrorism, trafficking and other criminal activity.

“Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled in the History of South America,” Trump said on Truth Social. “It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before – Until such time as they return to the United States of America all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us.

“The illegitimate Maduro Regime is using Oil from these stolen Oil Fields to finance themselves, Drug Terrorism, Human Trafficking, Murder, and Kidnapping,” he continued. “For the theft of our Assets, and many other reasons, including Terrorism, Drug Smuggling, and Human Trafficking, the Venezuelan Regime has been designated a FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.

The Numbers Game

It’s pretty hard to believe that a deficit could be literally twice what you estimated in the space of a few months, but Wab’s got one thing one his side: average John Q. Manitoba voter probably couldn’t care less. They just want the free stuff to keep coming.

The Manitoba government’s deficit for the current fiscal year is expected to reach $1.6 billion, more than double the $794 million estimated in the spring budget, the province’s second-quarter report released Monday showed.

There Was Significant Shrinkage…

More evidence that the marginal consumer is tapped out as shrinking economies continue to experience declining demand for commodities like oil. Is the concept of an oil pipeline from Alberta to coastal waters even viable at this point?

Even with a recent decision by OPEC to hold production rates steady through the first quarter, the International Energy Agency said last week that it now expects 2026’s oil glut to reach 3.8 million barrels per day.

On the water, crude tankers at sea are now holding more than 1 billion barrels — a figure that has steadily risen over the past few months as sellers have had a harder time finding buyers willing to take the oil.

Some progressive ruminations on race:

Readers will note that the students, these avowed opponents of racism, refer to themselves, and by extension all black students, as if they were some ancient and unfathomable offshoot of humanity, for whom rapport with outsiders is impossible. And who are supposedly oppressed by the unremarkable fact that, in a white-majority country, their professors will often be white and – as seems unavoidable – older than the students.

Readers may also wonder how such exquisitely sensitive creatures will fare when faced with potential employers who may also be paler than themselves and, shockingly, not nineteen.

One of these.
