Climate scientists have been covering up for years now that there is NO accelerating rise in sea level, @shellenberger reports. No surprise. This field has been corrupted by activism, politics and money.
Scientists for years said they had proof that climate change was accelerating sea level rise. But that's not what the evidence shows. They knew the truth and misled the public. And now I have a long email exchange with a top scientist that shows how they did it. Massive scandal.

Bloody good question, eh.
Why do Canadian Conservatives constantly pander to the advice of those who want them to lose? They're like Pavlov's dog.

Since 2015 Americans are ~20% richer. Canadians are poorer — crushed by weak productivity, soaring costs, record debt, and mass immigration. Carney’s hands have been all over this mess since 2020 — and as PM, he’s choking the economy even harder

New flash: Pretty much everyone has seen their salary take a big hit when you factor in inflation over the past decade. This is what happens when you strangle your economy w/ nonsensical regulation. It shuts down industrial development, makes goods scarce & breeds inefficiency.

The province will shut down? Hmm.
The line has been drawn. If Premier Smith invokes the notwithstanding clause, expect an unprecedented provincial labour strike that will shut down the entire province. Democratic rights must be protected at all costs.

They’re seizing private property and shutting down resource development. Both are empowered by the Canadian courts ruling in their favour. Entire law firms are built around this making millions. Pair this with inter-Provincial disputes and there will never be any foreign capital

Have Edmonton Oilers cracked the code with new line-up against Seattle Kraken? Hmm Wingers and d-men suck at two-way play compared to recent years. Can they fix it fast? https://t.co/HVvrtXP2fD via @edmontonjournal

Tariffs are the signature economic policy of the Trump presidency. We were never going to be able to avoid them. All we can do is mitigate their impact. The obvious solution is rapid aggressive expansion of our oil and gas industry INCLUDING pipelines to both coasts.

Trump would've cancelled negotiations with Canada if someone brought him a Coke Zero instead of a Diet Coke. But Ontario absolutely didn't need to waste $75 million on ads that were never going to make a difference in the first place

His asinine threat to shut off power to the US, the crown royal pour, and now this. Premier Ford should understand that while these stunts might be good politics w/ the ‘elbows- up’ crowd in Ont they are worse than reckless in terms of our economy.

Trump's announcement came after the Canadian province began running a TV ad that features a speech by Ronald Reagan.

Most folks are greatly distorting Ronald Reagan’s views on tariffs and free trade. Here is what the eminent US trade negotiator Robert Lighthizer, who worked for Reagan and Trump, has to say on Reagan’s real trade policy:

In every age and society we have had folks who casually and glibly support racism and sexism. They say it’s a good thing, the natural order of things. And that has not changed today, as seen with those who support racist and sexist DEI in hiring, promotion and contracting.
Who in their right mind cares about DEI right now. We are hemorrhaging jobs, the economic pain is only just starting and the US is out to destroy our economy. We are being distracted.

The ATA’s version of a hearts and minds campaign? Do they think this helps, along with their oppressive and misguided war against funding for each and every Alberta student, namely those who choose to get educated outside the public system.
🚨Alberta Teachers Association is a big cheerleader for: 💰Alberta PST Is that where ATA is expecting $2 billion extra to come from? 💸 Alberta Sales Tax to meet this big government union’s demands? @ABDanielleSmith must say NO! LATEST @Edmontonsun
