.@ABDanielleSmith @PremierScottMoe @jackprandelli takes a look at Alberta oil and what's up in our neighbourhood. @WBrettWilson @jackmintz @ExnerPirot
Canada’s cheapest barrel just got a friend in Victoria. British Columbia elected its first Conservative government since 1928, with about 2/3 of the 93 seats. That matters for the $28 discount on Canadian heavy oil I wrote about. The barrel is cheap because it has one big buyer, the US, and one pipe to the Pacific, Trans Mountain, already 98% full. The outgoing government opposed new oil pipelines and locked in the northern tanker ban with Ottawa in July. The new premier, Lorne Doerkson, welcomed Pacific Link, the 1m b/d pipe to the Vancouver coast, and wants a working group with Alberta and Ottawa. Today federal Conservatives pushed a bill to scrap the tanker ban, CP reports. Hear me out: Victoria can’t lift that ban alone. It’s federal law. What moves is who sits across the table from Alberta. I’m watching the Pacific Link open season next spring. That’s when producers show whether they’ll pay for the pipe. Do not miss my article: themerchantsnews.substack.co…

Have policymakers in the EU, the UK and US states never heard of El Hierro? A small island with 11,000 residents and plenty of wind. An ideal testing ground for the promise of 100% renewable electricity, before making millions of people depend on it. They installed wind turbines with more than twice the island’s average electricity demand in capacity, plus pumped hydro storage. Yet in 2025, this system supplied just 44% of its electricity. Diesel supplied the rest. @mhtncontrarian explains why: during prolonged periods of low wind, the upper reservoir empties. Then the diesel generators have to take over. If this setup cannot deliver on its promise on a small, windy island, why are politicians so confident it will work on a vastly larger scale? They keep pushing ahead, with millions of people’s electricity supply at stake.

We now see the full extent of preplanning and empire-building that went into the United Nations' global warming campaign. It was all behind the scenes. Today, the UN has a workforce of roughly 190,000 and an annual budget of $3.45 billion. It has become a vast self-managing, self perpetuating bureaucracy - arguably the largest non-governmental network in the world. The UN had been laying the groundwork for an environmental crisis for decades before it was finally announced in 1988. The UN took control of the World Meteorological Organization in 1951, transforming it into a specialised UN agency. The WMO operates with an annual budget of approximately $138.7 million and has a staff of 350 to 400. The WMO bridges the gap between raw meteorological data, international political agendas and global news media - linking thousands of land stations, ocean buoys, aircraft and satellites. While its stated role is to share critical weather and water data, this massive infrastructure has been effectively co-opted into a public relations framework. Consequently, the world has been bombarded with weather hysteria for almost 40 years. Mainstream news outlets routinely prioritise speculative, worst-case climate models over empirical observations - like 'rain bombs' - maintaining a permanent state of crisis designed to shape public compliance. The information gathering agency, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, runs the scientific arm. It operates with a core secretariat of just 15 staff members and an annual budget of roughly $12.5 million. The IPCC was established 38 years ago, ostensibly as a neutral body to gather objective scientific information on climate. In reality, the IPCC became the driving force behind the greatest environmental and social upheaval in modern history. Highly politicised from its inception, it was founded entirely by UN agencies - the WMO and the UN Environment Programme. This gave the UN absolute control over the global climate agenda and funded what has become the largest propaganda campaign in history. The UN has also run annual fund raising COP summits around the world for 30 years. They have become junkets for the rich and privileged. The IPCC did not recruit independent scientific staff; instead, its administrative apparatus actively sponsors and selects studies that supported the carbon dioxide hypothesis. Research raising questions or doubts are minimised or discarded. Critics find their studies starved of funding and publishers, while some even faced threats to their academic tenures. Local weather outlets and national agencies now operate inside an ecosystem heavily influenced by these overarching, high-alarm targets, broadcasting continuous warnings of 'global boiling', catastrophic sea-level rise, and 'Code Red for Humanity' - with UN leadership acting as the chief amplifier. This environment birthed foundational, highly charged studies designed to lock in future warming projections. For decades, the UN promoted only extreme scenarios. A prime example is the IPCC's reliance on high-end warming trajectories - such as projections warning of up to a 5.5-degree temperature rise - predictions so extreme that even mainstream scientists have increasingly conceded they are implausible. Armed with a crisis of its own making, the UN called for the rapid dismantling of hydrocarbon fuels - coal, oil, and natural gas - the very energy sources that lifted humanity out of stagnation and powered the Industrial Revolution. Almost every aspect of modern civilisation, from transport networks to industrial manufacturing, relies entirely on these dense, inexpensive and reliable energy sources. Climate management bears no relation to the UN’s foundational charter of resolving international conflict; it's a textbook case of bureaucratic mission creep. The sheer complexity of this UN machinery, combined with an aura of technical authority, is precisely what insulates it from public scrutiny.

The highest share they ever hit in a full year was 56%. It has been downhill from there. They overbuilt the wind turbines by more than double and added big storage. Still, calm spells drain the reservoirs and diesel takes over. Bigger places keep charging ahead with the same plan anyway. Read the full article: wattsupwiththat.com/2026/10/…

All climate models experience GIGO, which is why they all fail. Not one model can replicate past climate change - and thus none can forecast future climate change.

Kyoto. Paris. Glasgow. Dubai. Another COP. Another trillion-dollar promise. Meanwhile, atmospheric CO₂ keeps climbing like it never got the memo. Apparently, the most renewable resource in climate policy is empty promises!

Ed Hoskins: "Solar power has many dispersed foundations, and that probably permanently negates its further use of the land for agriculture after the solar installations come to the end of their useful life. For renewable energy, you've not only got to double the amount of generators, but also you've got to double the amount of network to support them because they are widely dispersed. Whereas, conventional fossil fuel generators are on small sites located near to the demand for power."

When the power goes out, the first hour sets the tone for everything after it. Here's a simple, calm game plan for your home: light, batteries, keeping food cold and safe, staying comfortable, and keeping phones charged. Start small and build from there.

Climate policy is one thing. Paying for it is another. Charles Rotter on Pew’s latest poll: • Environment/climate policy matters greatly to 66% of Democratic supporters, versus 15% of Republicans. • The economy ranks higher for both. • 74% of adults are very worried about gas and energy prices. Yet Pew never asked: how much extra would YOU accept on your monthly energy bill for faster emissions cuts?

They keep telling you Canada is at "war" with America. Investigative journalist Sam Cooper (author of Willful Blindness, founder of The Bureau) says that's exactly backwards — and he has the documents to prove it. In this episode, Sam breaks down Mark Carney's 100+ undisclosed conflicts of interest, the TD Bank fentanyl money-laundering scandal, China's bond purchases quietly flowing through Canadian banks, the BC Ferries deal with a Chinese shipbuilder near sensitive coastal waters, and why CSIS says Beijing is actively targeting Canadian First Nations leaders. If you've been told "elbows up" against America, this conversation will change how you see the real hybrid war being fought on Canadian soil. @scoopercooper

.@ABDanielleSmith @PremierScottMoe As @FurfariSamuele writes: Europe’s Refining Retreat Has Come Back to Haunt It Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries have exposed a vulnerability Brussels identified more than a decade ago—and then chose to deepen samuelfurfari.substack.com/p…
Germany is running out of refineries, and it now admits that’s a problem. Economy Minister Katherina Reiche: “Whoever loses the refinery loses not only the supply for the gas station, but above all for the chemical complex.” Berlin now says it wants to stop more refineries closing. Look at the timing. Shell stopped processing crude at its 140,000 b/d Wesseling refinery last year. BP’s 250,000 b/d Gelsenkirchen has been up for sale since early 2025 with no buyer. Scotland lost Grangemouth, 150,000 b/d. Europe chose to import its diesel and jet fuel. Now the imports are the problem. Russian diesel exports hit a decade low. Gulf fuel exports run at about half of normal. US diesel costs about twice a barrel of crude. On Friday Germany’s stockpiling agency EBV put out a tender to sell diesel, heating oil and crude from its strategic reserves. In July it was still buying diesel to refill them. Germany’s reserve was meant for an emergency. It’s now dipping into it as winter starts. You can shut a refinery in a year. Building one takes most of a decade.
