Trump Gets The Last Laugh While The Rest Of Us Cry.

From #Investing:

"A year after Ontario Premier Doug Ford threatened to shut off electricity exports to the United States amid escalating trade tensions, the province is turning to American power to help keep its own lights on this winter.

Ontario’s Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) has secured 600 megawatts of electricity capacity from a U.S. energy company [Alpha Generation] for six months beginning November 1, 2026. The arrangement comes as Ontario prepares for maintenance-related pressure on its electricity supply, raising questions about the province’s energy independence and its relationship with American suppliers."

Alberta: The FIRST Referendum.

They say turnout could reach 85%. Polls say Remain is slowly pulling away in the final weekend before the vote. Colour me skeptical. I still worry that the Send Ottawa A Message shtick has gained traction in this riskless vote. Again, my gut says the end result will be more competitive than decisive. It's a long shot, but yes, Leave could win depending on voting patterns across the province.

Post-referendum, the big question becomes what happens to Smith, both as premier and party leader? Is she on the way out if Remain wins decisively? Hers is a party perpetually pissed. All those old crank has-beens who mostly haven't ejaculated since Jesus was a pup, but I digress. 

Then there's the next election: how will the referendum vote affect the UCP and the NDP? Will the end result put more wind in the social-democratic hordes' sails? Nenshi must be salivating.

CPC MP Resignation: The Six Stages.

1.    A Trickle;

2.    A Rill;

3.    A Stream;

4.    A River;

5.    A Bankfull Discharge;

6.    A Flood.

For now, we're at Stage TWO.

Was PP really speaking about Albertans and Canadians when he said this, or was he talking about himself?

“Quitting is the easy way out — and Albertans are not quitters.”

You know what that means: regular alcohol consumption by CPC MPs is about to go up substantially.

Abacus: The Leaders.

CPC: Collapsing In The Polls.

Thank you, Pierre Poilièvre!

Why is he still our leader? I'll bet that Carney can't wait to go to an early election. 

Canada: Abacus.

Canada: Léger.
