BYRON KING MAY 13, 2025 Well, that sure was fast. It’s been six weeks since President Trump’s so-called “Liberation Day,” when he announced draconian levels of tariffs at a global-scale. And now, we have a thinly disguised retreat and kowtow to China’s Emperor Xi. Despite hoopla, tough talk...

Tell this to the Liberals who opened up Newfoundland for a $12 billion deep water oil drilling project in a region where a $12 billion investment in renewable offshore wind power project would be more beneficial in the future. People invest their money where bigger profit is to be made.

Would you still call Alberta 'bloody oil-centric' if it is Albertan oil you are consuming in Ontario? If the answer is yes it is perhaps better for us in Ontario to continue importing oil from the U.S., Saudi and Iran. And no pipeline is to be built linking Western to Eastern Canada.

The chance of MTG to run and win in the 2028 Republican party presidential primaries will be infinitely smaller than the chance of AOC becoming the next POTUS, I bet.

I think Albertans do realize Carney by comparison will make a more fossil-fuel-friendly PM than Trudeau. Carney can easily obliterate any likelihood of separation of Alberta by making pledge of support of oil sands production growth into the future plus construction of pipelines for transport...

JAMES W. CARDEN MAY 12, 2025 The term “revolving door” has long been used to describe the practice of Washington lobbyists and defense contractors circling in and out of government, enriching themselves as they impoverish and debase the country they are ostensibly here to serve. Today I’m...

Pipelines are made of steel. Steel production is an energy intensive process using coking coal. Construction of pipelines over a distance of thousands of kilometers also entails long distance transportations of heavy pipes by trucks and trains powered by diesel engines. Consmption of oil and...

People knew who Donald Trump was well before he entered politics. Can you say the same of MTG?

Rioting resulting in destruction of public properties in subway stations and traffic lights is now a thing of the past. Remember the guy who was lit on fire because he was in disagreement with the yellow rioters? It is not subjective to say HK overall is more peaceful since the yellow scums...

Society in Hong Kong have become more peaceful since national security laws were introduced. You can now find some of the yellow crowd vacationing happily in Shenzhen. People are free to leave HK if they don't like the laws there which only a small minority would complain about.

The only merit of MTG is she makes a convenient target for the lefties to ridicule. MTG was never and will never be a hopeful contender for Republican presidential nomination.

30% tariff which is not paid by Chinese exporters is low enough for China to clear of exports already produced and booked by American importers. That spares China the trouble of having to find buyers of goods tariffed at 145%. 30% is high enough to cost Trump and the Republicans dearly in...

Taiwanese by comparison with dissenters from Hong Kong and the mainland are not as inclined to take pride in being the anti-China running dogs of the west.

The Trumpet Changes His Tune DAVID HAGGITH MAY 09, 2025 (I’m going to cover a story I didn’t have time to on Wednesday for medical reasons when the news came out along with several other stories that sang the same tune on Thursday about how Trump is changing his tune A LOT … on a lot of...
