Alberta is heartbroken at the loss of three young hockey players, JJ Wright, Cameron Casorso and Caden Fine, who tragically lost their lives while travelling to practice with the Southern Alberta Mustangs junior hockey club. My deepest condolences are with their families,

Celebrities talked nonstop about Gaza for months. Tonight at the Grammys, not a single one spoke up for the Iranian people—after the Islamic Republic massacred over 36,000 in less than 48 hours. Weird.

Creativity in marketing has been in a bad place for a while but @Wealthsimple’s current campaign is so thoroughly illegible it makes me want to close my account.

Remember this the next time people gaslight you with anti data center crap. Speaking of gaslighting: Canada flares off 7 GW of natural gas as a waste product of mining each year- more power than all the LLM training clusters use combined. Let’s build data centers in Alberta.
Narrative violation: The largest AI data center uses roughly the same amount of water as two burger joints. There are over 200,000 fast food restaurants in the U.S. so this is a tiny amount.

Horrific whatever the number is. Another number: Zero emergency meetings or special sessions of the United Nations Security Council or General Assembly about what's happening in Iran.
BREAKING: At least 12,000 people, and possibly as many as 20,000, have been killed in Iran, sources told @CBSNews as phone lines open back up for calls from inside the Islamic Republic. https://t.co/X4lr6oo3vq

I’m running to be the next Premier of British Columbia because our province deserves real leadership and a chance to be the envy of Canada once again. David Eby and the NDP cannot be allowed to continue to mismanage the economy with a spiralling deficit while the cost of living

This is the basics of journalism. If Bari Weiss can successfully drag CBS into nuanced reporting, it can only be for the better.
New: See the memo Bari Weiss sent to some 60 Minutes staff on Sunday:

Sentence is reduced in part so he can stay in his home territory, where the victim he nearly killed also lives. Zero respect for her, zero regard for community safety.

This bodes ill. Readers used to outnumber non-readers 2 to 1. Now non-readers outnumber readers 3 to 1. It's hard to imagine a change of that magnitude not having significant effects.

Here's why AI data centers are coming to #NatGas supply like Penn, TX, Alberta, etc - there are expandable #NatGas power generation plants and ability to site new #NatGas power plants. @GuyJohnsonTV asks how big a problem is electricity re data center buildout. @Brookfield CFO
Very clear energy priorities/avoids from Trump at 6:45min mark. 1. Will give fast approvals for AI data centers to get their #Electricity directly from new power plants. [ie. this means behind-the-meter, see my 👇06/27 post] 2. They can do #Nuclear, #Oil, #NatGas, #Coal. 3.

This continues to be stupid trolling bad faith nonsense, and it’s an outrage that Elections Canada continues to put up with it. It’s not a “protest” it’s not “activism,” it’s just dumb people trying to do what they can to sabotage a politician they don’t like.
Everyone who cares about the integrity of our democracy should demand and expect an end to this scam.

I’m reminded of the 50 Canadians killed when Iran shot down civilian airliner PS752 in 2020, including an innocent family from my neighborhood in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. In some small way, justice has been served.
Trump made clear this was not only about the nuclear ambitions of Iran, but also about Iran's behavior over four decades--sponsoring terror, killing Americans on the battlefield in Iraq, with roadside bombs, and sowing discord and violence. And directly linked America to Israel.

"Albertans generate more economic value per person than anywhere else in the country. Alberta’s per capita GDP is around $72,000—about $7,000 more than the second highest in Saskatchewan, and a whopping $18,000 and $23,000 more than Ontario and Quebec, respectively."

Our downtowns, country-wide, are war zones of crime and human suffering. The only leader who cares and has a plan to fix it is @PierrePoilievre.
🇨🇦, If law and order is an important ballot item for you, for the love of god, we cannot go on like this, it’s time for change.
