Deeply honoured to be have inducted into the Kanai Chieftanship as an Honourary Chief of the Blood Nation of the Blackfoot Confederacy.
A truly meaningful recognition of the work I did with First Nations to create economic opportunity in the spirit of โreconciliaction!โ

Putin has not only inflicted terrible suffering on the Ukrainian people, he is also destroying an entire generation of Russians, and with it Russiaโs future.
Russiaโs greatest long term challenge prior to Putinโs war of aggression was having one of the worldโs lowest birth rates. He has accelerated the demographic collapse by killing over 400,000 young Russians, while maiming hundreds of thousands more.
His war is an act of national suicide. What a tragedy for the great Russian nation.
According to the Rosstat leak, 416,677+ Russian troops have died in the Ukraine war as of Aug 28, 2026, excluding Russians from the occupied areas.
For perspective, over 76 years, the US has lost 102,609 troops from Korea onward.

I don't think most people appreciate how efficiently Ukraine has shifted its strategy to "let's just kill all the Russians" since the start of this year.
As of this week, they're seriously injuring or killing over 70,000 Russians a month - more than twice as much as they did at the start of the year.
It took almost a year for Russia to lose their first 100,000 thousand men - soon, we may see the same number of causalities in a single month. It's just not sustainable.

Great piece by @sherylsap of @MLInstitute on the Carney government's unwise focus on Turkey.
Erdogan's authoritarian regime is Muslim Brotherhood adjacent. We only sell $1 billion of exports to Turkey, less than we do to 46 US states. We export twice that amount to democratic Taiwan, which is treated like a borderline pariah state by Ottawa.
I'm all in favour of the push to diversity our export markets, and know that we must have constructive relations with countries who don't share our liberal democratic values. But there is no compelling national justification for this unseemly focus on Turkey, when there is a long list of countries whose values and interests are most closely aligned with Canada's.

The Supreme Court decided that a one year sentence for trafficking & possessing horrific images of children is cruel & unconstitutional.
It beggars belief.
With bizarre decisions like this, the Court both undermines justice itself, and public confidence in the administration of justice.
If Parliament has any sense of decency, it must restore the mandatory minimum sentence for this vile crime, and do so with the explicit protection of the Charter's Notwithstanding Clause.

"Safeguardโs report claims that at least 18 Chinese overseas associations are participating as police monitoring stations in Canada."
Response from Chinese embassy: โChina is a country governed by the rule of law. It has consistently upheld the principle of non-interference in other countriesโ internal affairs, strictly abided by international law, and respected the judicial sovereignty of all countries.โ
The RCMP, the police body tasked with investigating these stations (no charges laid), has been told by the Carney govt to strengthen their relationship with Chinaโs Ministry of Public Security (MPS), with a focus on combating corruption and transnational crimes such as telecommunications fraud, cyberfraud and the trafficking of illegal synthetic drugs.
You cannot make this stuff up.

Reminder that Canada under the Harper government *did* raise the OAS eligibility age.
Had Trudeau not reversed this courageous reform, we would be spending $11 billion less on OAS by 2029, according to the PBO.
When OAS was created in 1952, the benefit began at age 70. Life expectancy was 68, and the ratio of workers to retirees was 8 to 1.
Eligibility is now at 65, with life expectancy at 81, and the ratio of workers to retirees down to 3 to 1.
The current system represents a massive, unjust intergenerational transfer of wealth which is obviously unsustainable.

Former CIA Director David Petraeus:
Keep in mind that the Russians have now sustained 1.5 million killed and wounded. That's more than the United States sustained in all of World War II.
There is a point at which Putin cannot recruit the additional soldiers that would be needed.
And by the way, they don't train these soldiers very well in any event. They really are almost human cannon fodder

I worry that tariffs will kill off certain craft traditions: handwoven Harris Tweed in Outer Hebrides, Guernseys in UK, cutlery in Japan, saddle-sewn goods in Paris. These are long craft traditions tied to an area and rely on the US market. Many are already hanging by a thread.

โYouโve lost. You foresaw absolutely nothing.
You didnโt even understand this wouldnโt be a quick operation โ a peck here and there, and then victory.
Stop fighting and sit down at the negotiating table.โ
Former head of the Defense Ministryโs Main Directorate of International Military Cooperation.
Not an opposition blogger. A career general who spent decades inside the system.
Continuing the war, he says, only deepens militarization and stagnation in every civilian sector.
The man who once planned military cooperation now says the leadership failed at the most basic strategic calculation: that this would be a real war, not a limited special operation.
When the generals who built the machine start saying the machine was pointed at the wrong war, the problem is no longer tactical.

๐ท๐บ Economist Vyacheslav Shiryaev:
If Ukraine decides to finish the job, russiaโs oil refining can be wiped out in 2 to 3 weeks.
Not years.
WEEKS.
Over the past 5 days, 3 russian refineries have been completely shut down.
Ten major refineries left.
One a day.
Gasoline production โ zero.
russia cannot import 100,000 tonnes of fuel a day.
It doesnโt have the currency.
It doesnโt have the options.
Ukraine holds the switch.
And once the refineries are gone, the war economy runs on fumes.

The Jensen Huang story keeps getting crazier.
US intelligence reportedly discovered that Nvidiaโs CEO was romantically involved with a suspected Chinese spy.
Here's where things get insane:
1.) The woman, Alice Huang, was an executive at Megaspeed, a company under investigation for allegedly helping Chinese firms circumvent US chip export restrictions.
2.) US intelligence believes she was recruited by China's Ministry of State Security, its primary intelligence agency.
3.) Intelligence officials reportedly suspected her objective included gathering information about Huang and potentially influencing Nvidia to push for looser US chip export controls.
4.) Huang has spent the past year repeatedly lobbying Washington to loosen those exact restrictions.
5.) US officials reportedly prepared an intelligence memo detailing the relationship and circulated it among senior government officials shortly before Trump's summit with Xi Jinping.
6.) Trump had reportedly already been briefed on the suspected espionage operation and chose not to act on the information.
7.) Huang has met with Trump repeatedly, reportedly even accompanying him aboard the presidential aircraft on a trip to China.
8.) Megaspeed's Malaysian affiliate reportedly purchased at least $4.8 BILLION in equipment containing Nvidia chips between June 2024 and February 2026.
9.) Federal authorities have been investigating Megaspeed since 2024, with the Justice Department reportedly taking over the Commerce Department's investigation this year.
10.) Investigators reportedly found Nvidia equipment in boxes that appeared ready for shipment rather than installed in operational data centers.
11.) Alice Huang's name was reportedly removed from Megaspeed's corporate documents as scrutiny intensified. Her continuing involvement with the company remains unclear.
12.) Nvidia maintains that it investigated Megaspeed's chip deployments and found no evidence of illegal diversion.
13.) Three congressional committee chairmen are now demanding that Huang appear for a closed-door briefing on November 18.
We're talking about the CEO of the world's most valuable company, a suspected Chinese intelligence operation, billions of dollars in advanced AI chips, and the US government's efforts to control China's access to the technology.
There is still no public evidence that Huang knowingly cooperated with Chinese intelligence or that the alleged operation successfully influenced US policy.
But the questions surrounding this are extraordinary.
