From the Next Town Hall in Fort McMurray in August Trevor Tombe on equalization ""Just just to illustrate magnitudes here, if Quebec's power prices were 2 cents a kilowatt higher, and they would still maintain the lowest power prices $0.02 a kilowatt higher, and we didn't fix the size of the equalization program as we do now, then Quebec's equalization payment would fall by about $4.2 billion this year.""

Althia Raj claims false claims about equalization are fueling Alberta separation Althia Raj v Trevor Tombe "But also a lot of people completely misunderstand how equalization work, and they're upset about something that just actually is not true."

Beyond staggering! Watch Trevor Tombe do the math on Carney deficits and future the economic reality "So just more than 200 billion more borrowed dollars over the coming four years." "And when as staggering as that may sound, when we look ahead and we think about what's the next decade have in store for us..." "...And if we were to balance over a 10 year horizon, so imagine balancing only in 2035, we'd have to cut something on the order of nearly 2/3 of all of the non transfer, non interest, non military spending of the federal government, which I think is not feasible" "Maybe we do need to talk about increasing the age of eligibility for old age security." Trevor Tombe Senator Pamela Wallin

CBC's Lyndsay Duncombe did a piece on equalization for the National, interviewing Trevor Tombe and Tegan Hill of the Fraser Institute, but pretended the math and formula is complicated and hard to understand. It isn't that difficult. Quebec keeps domestic hydro rates artificially low through Hydro-Québec, which slashes its measured fiscal capacity and inflates its equalization payments by billions Meanwhile, Duncombe omits that Quebec deliberately suppresses other resource development (oil/gas exploration limits, etc.), further reducing its own-source revenues—yet provinces like Alberta get full clawbacks for actually developing theirs. Quebec polls show that they are open to both resource development and pipelines Conveniently omitting that crucial detail from the national broadcast is once again giving Alberta separatists ammunition. They can rightly argue that the full story isn't being told Trevor Tombe Danielle Smith The Fraser Institute

Watch this whole segment with Trevor Tombe and Pamela Wallin discuss supply management "And so at the end of the day, I suspect, despite the rhetoric that a federal government government would not jeopardize the entire Canadian economy in order to protect a very, very small handful of now largely corporate interests in dairy production within, within Canada" "...So we can't just keep pretending like the current system is not a problem." "It's a problem for consumers, it's a problem for our partners, not just the United States." "...And the simple transition here could be something where we levy a tax on milk and we use the revenue from that tax to compensate farmers for the lost quota value." "And that might not sound great like, oh, a tax on milk, but there's a way to have the tax be actually less than the cost we're implicitly paying right now in the form of more expensive milk because of the supply management system." Trevor Tombe Senator Pamela Wallin

Quebec doesn't want equalization to be about helping poor Provinces maintain a better quality of life. Quebec wants to dictate to Canada how we operate and give themselves vast sums money, for keeping their resources like natural gas, in the ground. They have said this for years.

Budget deficit is $78.3 billion this year. It's going to be 65.4 billion next year, 63.5 billion the year after that. "Broadly, Rosie, this year, in the next couple of years, the deficit is twice as high as we would have seen in the fall that Chrystia Freeland tabled in December." "And growth is half of what was projected just nine, ten months ago." Red Ink Carney

WOW! Senator Chapin Rose exposes how Illinoisans’ electric bills have skyrocketed since Pritzker became governor: “Since Governor Pritzker, Illinois has lost 6,000 megawatts of reliable, 24-hour power — that’s the equivalent of three nuclear power plants, or enough energy to power a million homes in this state. Here we are, with $8 billion in rate increases on the people of Illinois. In 2019, electricity was 8.6 cents per kilowatt-hour. In the summer of this year, it tripled under the leadership of Governor Pritzker. Governor Pritzker and the supermajority Democrats — an $8 billion rate increase on the people of Illinois.”

Caroline Lucas, "We've had this Joint Intelligence Committee report that was suppressed by the Labour government because they saw how serious the climate and nature emergency is" "Perhaps they didn't want to show how little they were doing to rise to the occasion" "Just as sea levels are rising, tragically the far right is rising too" "They are weaponising climate change and climate policy" "One of the ways we can push back against that is by, not using the language of net zero, which most people don't understand" "It's about making this conversation real for people" "If we can talk about climate change as being about power, and redistributing power" "If we can talk about it in terms of justice" "Then we've got a better chance of making change happen" "But also crucially, hopefully, reducing the change of a Farage-led government at the next election" Zack Polanski, "So beautifully put"

Chancellor Merz: "If we had Ukraine as member in NATO, which was applied in 2008, and the Americans gave support to that, the French and the German government were against it. You can again speculate, would this war had happened? Ukraine was then a big nuclear power. They were the third biggest nuclear power in the world, and they agreed to get rid of all the nuclear weapons. And then after Russia attacked Ukraine, would this have happened with nuclear weapons on the ground? You can ask the same question again. No, this war is now happening and we have to stop it now, this is our task."

Also from Danielle Smith's Next Panel town hall meetings in Fort McMurray last night "We give about 12 to $14,000 per student in the public education system." "37 kids in your class times $12,000 is $444,000." "That's enough to hire a teacher and an education assistant and have probably 50% of that money left over." "So where's the money going? That's what we're asking" Would be interesting to hear the numbers in other provinces for comparison Danielle Smith

David Friedberg: “ What if we could make all residential electricity free in the United States?” “We consume, in this country, about 4 trillion kilowatt hours of electricity.” “1/3 of that, $250B, is residential consumption.” “2/3 of that, $500B, is industrial and commercial consumption.” “Theoretically, you could increase the price on industrial and commercial consumption by ~50% and make all residential electricity in the United States free.” “And then on the commercial and industrial side, the reason you would then have an incentive to build private power systems would be that you can bring your costs down.” “And instead of centralizing all of this with the utilities, what it can do is it can force a market demand for industrial and commercial users to build their own power systems, which would increase overall electricity supply in the United States.” “The data centers are the tip of the iceberg, but if you make this a pan industrial problem, then all of the industrial companies would have to take this path.”

MacFarlane: Trump has acknowledged over the past 48 hours that prices are going to go higher again because of the renewed fighting in the Middle East. And that’s a big problem for him and a big problem for Republicans on the ballot in November. Because Trump is already underwater when it comes to prices and the economy. And if prices go higher as we get closer to an election, that’s not just underwater. It’s like the S.S. Minnow crashing onto the island, and Gilligan, the Skipper, the Howells, Ginger, and Mary Ann have no political lifeboats. They are stuck on that ship as it crashes. For his party, Trump is creating political danger with the war in Iran and with his higher prices.

The sanctions have hurt us more than the Russians. The Russians are just exporting their gas and oil to China or to India, and India is selling us diesel and kerosene at much higher prices.

WOW 🚨 2 of the NGO organizers of the No Kings Protests paid themselves $6 MILLION DOLLARS last year Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin are the co-directors of Indivisible. Indivisible is one of the organizers of “No Kings rallies” It’s funded by George Soros Payroll protest data: “Wait until you see how much Leah and Ezra paid themselves this year from their own organization that organized this event. Indivisible is a PAC, which means that all of their transactions and payments are public. We have the receipts right here. They did $6 million last year. We can see the tens of thousands of dollars they spent on merch. We can see the hundreds of thousands of dollars they paid to the ad agency to run all the ads to organize this. We can even see what they paid Stripe for the processing fees. We even have the payments to the media outlets that showed up at the events and covered it. And then we have the payroll. Look at this staff time reimbursement. We have three payments: one for $1 million and two for $750,000. Clean round numbers. These are not merchant payments. These are paychecks.”

‼️JUST NOW — powerful brief remarks by the leaders of Ukraine, the UK, France, and Germany in London: IN SHORT: Merz: “The coming days could be decisive for all of us. The destiny of this country is the destiny of Europe. Nobody should doubt our support for Ukraine. And this is what we are firmly standing behind. I'm skeptical about some of the details which we are seeing in the documents coming from the U.S. side.” Macron: "I think we have a lot of cards in our hands." Zelenskyy: "Our team came back, and I think that they will brief us about the last talks with Americans and after talks of Americans with Russians." Starmer: "If there's to be a ceasefire, it needs to be a just and lasting ceasefire. Matters about Ukraine are for Ukraine." FULL STATEMENTS: UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer: "But the principles remain, the principles that we've operated on for a very, very long time, which is that we stand with Ukraine, and if there's to be a ceasefire, it needs to be a just and lasting ceasefire. And that's why it's so important, that we repeatedly set out the principle forward that matters about Ukraine are for Ukraine. And we stand here to support you in the conflict and support you in the negotiations and make sure that this is a just and lasting settlement if we can get that far. You're very welcome for our discussions". President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy: "Thank you very much, Kir. Thank you for organizing this meeting. Thank you, friends, Emmanuel and Friedrich, and thank you for our joint meeting. I think that it is very important now to organize such a meeting and discuss very sensitive issues regarding these talks that we had, in the United States and between us. Our team came back, and I think that they will brief us about the last talks with Americans and after talks of Americans with Russians. I think there are lot of what we have to discuss and speak about. So there are a lot of things which are very important for today. I think, unity between Europe and Ukraine, and also unity between Europe, Ukraine, and the U.S. There are some things which we can't manage without Americans, things which we can't manage without Europe, and that's why we need to make some important decisions". President of France Emmanuel Macron: "And thank you Volodymyr for being with us. You are always welcome. In France, I think we all support Ukraine, and we all support peace. And peace negotiations to have sustainable, robust peace. And I think we have a lot of cards in our hands. The financing and the quality of equipments and training programs to Ukraine, the fact that Ukraine is resisting in this war, and the fact that the Russian economy is starting to suffer, especially after our latest sanctions and the US sanctions. And now I think the main issue is the convergence between our common positions, Europeans and Ukrainians, and the U.S. to finalize these, peace negotiations and re-engage in a new phase in the best possible conditions for Ukraine, for the Europeans, and for our collective security". Chancellor of Germany Friedrich Merz: "I highly appreciate that we are having the opportunity to see you, Volodymyr, together with Emmanuel, and talking about the upcoming days, because this could be a decisive time for all of us. We are trying to continue our support for Ukraine, as you know. On the other hand, we are seeing these talks and negotiations in Moscow and in the U.S. I'm looking forward to hear from you what the outcome of these talks might be. And we are still and remain strongly behind Ukraine and giving support to your country, because we all know that the destiny of this country is the destiny of Europe.
