Just think what might have been if big O&G had been reigned in 50 years ago?

We’re short on time so certain decisions must be made now.
Seems almost all of them are noobs, which doesn’t bode well for them arguing complex issues in front of court.
It is very important as we’ve been lazy with our naval and military procurement … because America was right next door.
We can’t count on them anymore for anything. So it’s past time to do it.
Whether or not we buy the F-35s is still up in the air.
Her name was Jocelyn Wildenstein and she recently passed away (Dec 2024).
My ex husband died in his trailer and they rushed his autopsy because of wounds on his body. Turns out the wounds were from his cats, who were starving.
His ‘neighbours’ came and stole a bunch of his stuff but couldn’t be bothered to feed the cats or notify the cops.
Humans are nasty creatures.
On Jan. 10, as political turmoil embroiled the federal government, Transport Canada informed dealerships that the EV rebate program would run out of money before its scheduled end in March.
“Due to the high uptake, the iZEV Program will be paused in a few weeks,” stated the email sent to dealerships just before noon on the Friday, obtained by the Star.
By Monday, all the money was gone and Transport Canada announced the EV rebate program was “paused.” It shut down the online claims portal for dealers, leaving hundreds without recourse to recoup their money.
“Tesla had a run on the bank,” said Williams. “Somehow, Tesla gamed the system.”
The crux of the matter is when paperwork called an “eligibility assessment” needs to be filed by the dealership.
On the one hand, Transport Canada says dealers “must always submit an eligibility assessment prior to an incentive being paid.”
On the other, it says, “there is no rule” to prevent them from submitting the paperwork in bulk, after the cars have already been delivered.
It’s never been about rare earth minerals. It’s always been about food production.
The European Commission reports that Ukraine accounts for approximately 10% of the global wheat market, 15% of the corn market, and 13% of the barley market. Moreover, the country has earned the distinction of being the world’s largest exporter of sunflower oil, with a staggering 50% of global exports. Additionally, Ukraine ranks third in barley production, fourth in maize production, and fifth in wheat production. In 2021 alone, Ukraine exported cereals worth close to $12 billion, further solidifying its prominence in the global food market. Source
If Ukraine’s depleted agricultural GDP has been a boon to Russia, the rising global food insecurity that has resulted from Russia’s war has also been beneficial: Ukraine’s diminished exports have created openings for Russia, another major global agricultural exporter, to make up for Ukraine’s losses, with Russia using its agricultural exports as a source of soft power. In early 2022, Dmitry Medvedev, the former Russian president and current deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, declared food to be Russia’s “silent weapon.” Source
In 2023, with $110 million in aid from the Quebec government, Davie purchased Helsinki Shipyard Oy, a shipyard located in the Finnish capital that alone built 60% of the world’s icebreaker fleet.
The yard was once owned by Russian investors and had designed a new type of icebreaker for a Russian company that was never delivered due to sanctions imposed on Moscow following its invasion of Ukraine. It is this design that will be adapted for Canada to replace the aging Louis S. St-Laurent , which remains Canada’s heaviest icebreaker in service.
The CRA hasn’t even gone after Canadian companies and citizens listed in the Panama Papers ffs.
It’s just depressing to think about all the billions the CRA could find, but are being ignored.
Rubella is commonly known as German measles. It was a big thing to be vaxxed for back when I was a kid, cause it’s super dangerous to pregnant women and unborn children.
The Cons finally apologized as well. Too little too late I’d say.
I’m glad the families have some closure at least. They deserve that.
Winnipeg police initially decided that it was not feasible to search the landfill.
As always, ACAB.
He’s a different kind of man, a different kind of economist. He has morals and does what he believes is right (every job he’s been offered he’s discussed with his wife and daughters before making a decision).
He’s honest as the day is long, and never avoids the tough questions. He doesn’t blame anyone else for his decisions, and tells it like it is when faced with political-type choices.
He’ll be able to handle Trump like nobody’s business and I suspect already has a plan laid out to do so.
I honestly don’t think there’s anyone else who could get us out of this Trumpian mess better than Carney.
Fuck Musk, absolutely, but a lower barrier to entry to putting things in space absolutely has utility.
Have you actually seen how many Starlink satellites surround Earth? There little room for more. Source
The only thing Musk seems to know well is he has a dick and it makes babies.
Nothing else is as important as that.
Edit … they may be all IVF but he still needs a dick to get sperm into the jar.
Yup. Ukraine signed a deal and gave up a their nukes (3rd largest) on condition the other signatories (US, UK and Russia) would leave them alone. We see how that’s worked out for Ukraine.
Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God’s side, for God is always right.

Musk waiting for the horse head to show up in his bed.
He said the proportion of hazardous materials coming to the site from the US has fallen from 43% in 2018 to 17% in 2024.
10 hours younger. Lol
