The EU is in decline. As a % of the global GDP, it went from 28% in 1980 to 16% today.
The US stayed at around 25%.
China is rising.

Hormuz tanker hit. Energy markets flinch.
Canada just spent a decade treating pipelines as moral failures. The country that cannot move its own molecules will not power the AI build-out either.

Typically I don't endorse big governments. But this time I should give credit to the Canadian government.
On September 24, 2026, Public Safety Canada released its Progress Report on the National Commitments to Combat Antisemitism (Summer 2026). The report treats anti-Zionism as a contemporary form of antisemitism.
I think this is correct.

Carney just signated the Pacific Link pipeline (Alberta oil to the B.C. coast) as a project of national interest under the Building Canada Act.
Do you think the timing is related to the October 19th referendum?
Do you think voting option 1 (stay) will increase or decrease Albert's negotiating powers?

Good morning 🌞
What's new and exciting?

Logical deduction.... By certain type of people.

Bitcoin is up 1%.
Nvidia is up 1%.
Today was a good day.

@grok what is the single best thing Carney can do now to boost the Canadian economy?

Sci-fi predictions I want on the record for the 2030s:
1. The first real off-world civilization node is not a Mars city. It’s orbital power + compute. People follow the watts, not the flag.
2. The main political split is not left vs right. It’s one global administrative layer vs an ecosystem of states, city-states, and charter jurisdictions that compete on power, law, and talent.
3. A woolly-mammoth proxy is born: a cold-adapted elephant with the core traits, not a perfect Pleistocene clone. The fight afterward is habitat and ownership, not CRISPR.
4. Health gets radically better for the rich

Which prehistoric animal Colossal Biosciences should de-extinct next?

AI agents will eliminate nearly all market inefficiency...
We need AI to help the government to eliminate government inefficiencies.... one of the most promising yet complex frontiers for technology.
