As usual....

I would love to see requirements for social media companies to host the data and content of Canadian origin users and subscribers in Canada. And then have EU GDPR type rules.

You want to back a secessionist movement against a NATO ally?

I can't imagine the panic in Tel Aviv and Gulf capitals. This was their only shot at concessions on terrorism from Iran. Or even regime change. US cuts a deal on nuclear material and leaves. Also, the KMT in Taiwan is literally telling people that the US will not rescue them so it's better...

I remember the before time when we all that Saudi might be the dominant regional power in the Gulf.

The current President forces his security detail to rent rooms at full price in resorts he owns and racks up hundreds of thousands of dollars in bills. But we're complaining about GG's racking up the salary of a Captain in official expenses.

How is this a scam? It's an education benefit. Why do you care what people want to study after their military careers? Also, how would you even administer controls? We going to create a list of which ranks and which trades can study what topics after their career? By the way, I know people...

Going to be fun when Trump announces that he doesn't care about Taiwan and won't fight for it, after the summit with Xi. The PBOC just has to buy some Trump coin through proxy accounts which will mysteriously end up on his books, after he leaves office ...... Last time around they just had to...

I wonder what the rules will be when they eventually come to the US (albeit manufactured in the US). Ford is already talking about a Joint Venture with BYD. And I'm guessing that will be one of the announcements coming out of the Putin - Xi summit. Is an American assembled vehicle with...

Also. Not parking and road taxes in a Canadian city are not relevant to whether say Thailand buys more EVs. The Strait of Hormuz being closed is ......

I believe Alberta, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia already have specific road taxes for EVs. Personally, I think it would be great to get rid of excise taxes and go to plate fees that reflect the consumption of the road. Really, no car would be paying less than $300/yr. And should go up from...

EVs don't have to be made in China. Oil and gas, however, can't simply be manufactured. The market for oil and gas isn't just restricted to Western Canada as a seller unfortunately.

Yep. It's not like bike paths have to get resurfaced every summer. Fourth power law makes big rigs painful. The private sector does a great job of recognizing this differential. Look at the 407's rates by vehicle category.

I agree. He should get a Novel Prize for teaching the world what cleantech advocates have been saying about energy security and the rotten geopolitics of petrostates for two decades. Every EV sold and every solar panel on a roof is one less ruble, rial, dinar, dinar, bolivar to the Ayatollahs...

How's Hatfield's French?

You should be far more worried about what this conflict is teaching importers of energy about their vulnerabilities....

Hitting Fujairah is an ouch for sure. I wonder if we're going to be at $200 oil in time for the 250th celebrations in the US.

Iran trying to get the economic pain for the US moving faster than they run out of money.
