    “Higher food, energy costs are deliberate??”

    Years ago I was a (one of many) sounding board for someone taking the Bar (in SK) Exam, with the 300 (or so) prep questions to help form critic though. Much of the time the questions had no real correct answers but lead to much creative debate. Eventually you’d arrive at the best most...

    Biden considering killing Line 5 pipeline, cutting crucial energy link to Eastern Canada

    I hear you, & for an analogy, if the Chinese Gov’t 5G Hauwei tech was the ‘cheapest’ for private US telecom companies would security be a concern for the US Gov’t surrounding the 5G tech? Maybe I’m missing something but it’s the way I’m seeing this scenario.

    US releases 50 million barrels of oil from strategic reserves as gas prices soar

    Why indeed? This would involved Canada under its current leadership making a timely decision on a relevant matter. By the way, where is Canada on that whole 5G Hauwei thing anyway? Trudeau hinted a couple months ago when Canada went from being a member of 5-Eyes to a member of No-Eyes that an...

    …& a few months after the last Federal Election…today was day one of the goat rodeo that is our “functioning” parliament. Get used to it.

    Where could the US have found a safe, secure, close supply of oil & petroleum products to avoid the whims of the OPEC cartel. Maybe Venezuela? Siberia? Nigeria?
