Screw the bank I work for, screw the bank, and I'm squishing your head are references I make regularly.
Home owners/capitalists do appreciate scarcity. More/denser housing units is more city property taxes, more retail availability and income taxes/revenue, and more jobs, also more tax revenue. All of that supports more housing demand and higher property prices too. If you were the only one left in Toronto, I guess you wouldn't need/have any services. But property value would go down from $200/sq foot rental value to $1.
Our leaderships tried appeasement and appeal to "fortress Can-Am". Maybe they are all paid/programmed to be loyal CIA colonists, and had to at least try keeping the same political capital that brought them to leadership. Fine, we are open to joining EU in context of CIA colonies and NATO subservience, with absurd 5% of GDP spent primarily on US weapons, but that EU proposition must change.
Yes, Canada, EU, and Asian colonies should coordinate on US war against them. It has to be in the context of an alliance with China against the US, or the serious threat of that as a negotiation stance, and full detente with China until negotiations are successful. Removing US from NATO, Council of Americas, and NORAD or charging them significant rent for any bases/presence/services. We must end the US project of a proxy war on Russia, and the delusional fear manufacturing that Russia is a bigger threat than the US, that we only make true through US programed suicidal hatred towards Russia. Joining EU for purposes of distracting population that a war on Russia is more important than economic collapse, just because political power can be rallied behind instead of rejected as cause of collapse, it a bad reason to join EU.
Carney's "The special relationship with US is over" has to be followed up with different behaviour than begging to be a more subservient colony. Maybe this is the final wakeup call? If not, just more abuse to follow.

How about Kids in the Hall? Best ever Canadian show by far.
Global markets
Ford says he wants Fortress Can-Am. Week after, 50% copper tariffs announced. If we don't let US tech giants spy on us tax free, we will get treated like Brazil. Big disconnect with just more gaslighting.
The wrong analysis for energy transition involves proposals to nuke energy sources from orbit followed by a transition. Italy has still managed 14% NG reduction in April. I understand little heating in the month, though. Heat pump efficiency in Italy can be well over 600% due to mild winters, and double as AC. Energy transition analysis is simple. Add solar, worry about NG electrict utility tears later. This also reduces market prices of NG, for those who don't switch.
6.1 per cent of EU electricity came from coal, down from 8.8 per cent a year earlier
about a 30% reduction
with all of the US hopium on LNG export infrastructure, Europe cut gas use by 15% in April relative to 2024. 2024 also saw 10% NG reduction, and15% coal reduction. Conservative LNG import forecasts are a drop of only 25% by 2030, instead of a solid 10%+/year drop continuing.

2 solutions:
US resolution to accept global warming as real, with commitment to lower emissions on top of forest management resources in both countries (US wildfires occasionally annoy Canadians)
US buys more Canadian Pine lumber.
We have reached a global warming tipping point where forest fires are at such extreme levels for 3 years in a row now, that fires offset global natural carbon capture from trees, which is about 1/4 of human emissions. Some of the arson, has been motivated by climate disinformation as "attempts to prove global warming is false by arson". Global warming's impact on forest fires is not more ignition. It is faster/wider spread of fires.
If everyone in Canada were employed as an "arson preventer", they could patrol 10 hectares of forest each.

European EVs doing well in EU. Headlines so far this year has been surge of Chinese EVs in EU, but EU doing better.
