Trump's war on Iran hasn't altered Canada's cost of making gas β€” at all. So why are we being hosed at the pumps? Policy choices, not market forces of a war halfway around the world, explain the spike in prices, writes Jim Stanford, leading to unnecessary economy-wide inflation and higher interest rates.

As you fill up with gas that's now up 20c/litre in a week, remember who profits. Cdn oil companies made $150b after-tax profit after the last oil spike (2022). An excess profit tax redistributed to consumers would ease the pain. My take in @thestar.com: www.thestar.com/business/opi...

The guys who murdered all those school children sure are having a good time.

You expect terrible people to be terrible. You don’t expect the people/institutions that should have your back to wither away when you need them most.

You’re going important work and I’m sorry you’re dealing with this.

And they’re bringing over another aircraft carrier. I’m pretty sure they thought this thing would be over in days.

I hope you’re right, but I fear you’re not.

Silly Joshua, tax cuts MAKE money. I will not be taking questions at this time.

You know things are going well when the Americans start lifting sanctions and ask India to buy Russian oil to help bring down oil prices.

Trump has privately shown serious interest in U.S. ground troops in Iran The president’s private comments have not focused on a large-scale ground invasion of Iran, but rather on the idea of a small contingent of U.S. troops that would be used for specific strategic purposes, sources say.

I will also say that it’s a bit wild to me that no press freedom organization or professional journalistic association has tried to contact me or even put out a statement here.

I mean Jesus Christ. A little solidarity from institutions would be nice here!

These are the 4 things AI can do well:

β€’Clean up your email inbox (badly)
β€’Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
β€’Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
β€’Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday

You can see why we need to base our economy around it

I take some pleasure in hearing it.

A version of this, but for the mega-rich.

It would take a minimum wage worker 979,000 hours to earn this much in my province.

A cool $5M for a report that will never see the light of day. Super.

Fast food CEOs all competing to look like normal people by eating their β€œproducts”. Satire is dead.

Looking back, changing the name to the Department of War was a bit of a tell.

This sounds like what a teenage boy playing Fortnite would say.

Again. But this time, it’s personal.

Is he for or against what’s going on Iran? A new, slightly more vague message every day is not super helpful. Compare and contrast this to the leader of Spain.
