I thought about registering my disagreement, but it’s probably more honest if I recognize that I know little about Catholic theology in medieval Europe, and to conclude that my uninformed opinion doesn’t have much value.
"Economics today resembles Catholic theology in medieval Europe: a rigid doctrine guarded by a modern priesthood who claim to possess the sole truth. Dissenters are shunned. ... Neoclassical economics has become the Aeroflot of ideas." Much truth in this.

Oh buddy, no. Want to find out how wrong you are?
This man led the charge in global divestment in oil and gas... now he's trying to take credit for a project that he and his party did their best to delay and even cancel! Let's be honest, this was only built because of Stephen Harper’s environmental rules, first nations…
People seem to forget that heterosexuality is also sexuality and that kids from the moment they’re born are bombarded with heterosexual norms.
Anything dealing with sexuality is NOT kid appropriate.
The separation referendum will come down to emotion. Many Albertans "feel like Alberta is there for everybody else when they’re falling upon hard times... When we fall on hard times, nobody’s there for us,” Wesley said. “It’s unrequited love.” thehub.ca/2025/07/26/fal…
'Irregardless' is a word.
Hit me with the harshest reality truth.
China’s Drive to Replace Oil With Electricity I've been arguing this for a while, but Clyde Russell's Thursday column drove it home. Still want to build a 1 million b/d pipeline to serve China's markets, @markjcarney? #cdnpoli #ABleg #StrandedAsset youtu.be/S4DwJW5UYm8?si…
Superb story about how Labor Secretary Alex Acosta let predator Jeffrey Epstein cut an unusual deal that even granted immunity to "any potential co-conspirators." The deal "essentially shut down an ongoing FBI probe into whether there were more victims." miamiherald.com/news/local/art…
Foreign douche thinks he can force venues to host his shitty band. I do hope they ensure their legal costs are covered. Dumb twat.

Yes, it will cost Albertans a lot to separate, to exist separately afterward, and its already costing to even consider it. Investors avoid uncertainty - especially when the long term gamble is likely to result in something even worse.
A separate Alberta would be a poorer Alberta. My latest for @TheHubCanada on the fiscal and economic fantasies of those promoting independence: thehub.ca/2025/07/24/tre… #cdnecon #cdnpoli

A wise female friend said to me this morning that every woman knows someone who has been raped. Yet somehow no man knows a rapist. We’ve got a long way to go.
