@ThorbjornOleZyn My take right now is that I really think Herbert is better than Cam Smith. I feel like ever since Ben Campbell beat him in Hong Kong, he hasn’t recovered.

Significant Federal Court decisions in Rodas Tejedas (2025 FC 214 & 215) dropped today. 🔹 In 214, the Court dismissed a JR of a s.44(2) referral as premature-reaffirming that administrative remedies (i.e., raising abuse of process before the ID) must be exhausted first. The applicant claimed a 12-year delay in referral was an abuse. 🔹In 215: The Court found the ID erred by limiting its jurisdiction to post-s.44(1) delay. It can consider the entire period of delay when assessing abuse of process. 🔹 This shaped 214-since the ID could now assess the delay, the Court ruled the JR premature. The applicant had an adequate remedy before the ID. 🔹 A crucial question was certified for appeal: "Does the ID have jurisdiction to grant a stay for abuse of process, considering CBSA delays before a s.44 report is prepared?" Big implications. 🔗

@CanTrueCrime Talk to anyone in the diplomatic world. These is just veiled grease money to keep our diplomatic channels open. Chinese build stadiums. Canadians give DEI money.

One of the laziest takes about oil and gas is that the people working in it don’t care about the environment. In reality, many of them are the most outdoorsy people you’ll meet. They hunt, fish, ski, and spend more time in nature than most city-dwelling environmentalists ever will. We have the engineering and technology to build pipelines, export terminals, and infrastructure while safeguarding watersheds and wildlife. No one wants tailings pond leaks or bulldozed spawning grounds. Environmental standards need to keep improving, and enforcement needs to be real, not just performative. What’s frustrating is watching people with zero connection to the land, people who have never hunted, fished, or set foot in the backcountry, dictate how things should be done from some academic bubble or a city thousands of miles away. Meanwhile, the people actually working in Alberta, who live and breathe these landscapes, have way more at stake in keeping them healthy than some consultant in Toronto or Brussels (or Mark Carney for that matter).

@nationalpost I believe Kicking Horse coffee was purchased by an Italian conglomerate Lavazza. GTFOH.
