No, it's simply that Tillerson supported Qatar while Jared supported the UAE. It's a pretty spicy chapter.

This book is really damning for Kushner. It claims the UAE paid Kushner $50 million to get Rex Tillerson fired as Secretary of State.

Canadian heavy crude is fetching near-record premiums across the Pacific, bolstering the case for the country’s plan to build a new pipeline to its west coast. A barrel of Canadian Cold Lake crude delivered to South Korea traded at a record $9.50 a barrel more than the Dubai crude benchmark in September. It’s a stark contrast to the weakening price Canadian oil is getting in the US, its biggest market. Oil sands benchmark Western Canadian Select’s discount, called a differential, to a monthly average of West Texas Intermediate futures widened to as much as $28.25 a barrel in Alberta last week, the biggest in almost four years. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

For the international crowd, the Conservative Party of British Columbia won because it purged the more MAGA wing of the party in a civil war.

JUST IN: Conservatives just won a landslide majority in British Columbia, Canada, returning to power for the first time since 1928. And Brazil is about to elect a conservative President Flavio Bolsonaro. MAGA is spreading worldwide.

🚨BREAKING: Benjamin Netanyahu is warning that Iran has restarted its nuclear program and intends to destroy Israel “within a short time,” just THREE DAYS before Israel’s election, after ordering the IDF and Mossad to pursue the overthrow of Iran’s government. Meanwhile, Israel’s own military chief has warned that renewed fighting could force Tuesday’s election to be postponed.

Yes. Trump’s $90B figure matches 2025 US crude oil imports from Canada (~$90B). The official goods deficit was $48.3B (USTR), driven mainly by energy; without it the US would have a surplus. Total energy imports were ~$111B.

There are so many situations in this country that logic could be applied to. It isnt wrong, the lack of consistent application of this principle is the real problem.

Couldn’t disagree with my former colleague more … at what point does accommodation end? At what point do the demands of a very small percentage of a province’s population stop determining federal policy? What’s stopping malcontents in other provinces from doing the same?
