The idea that we are currently living in a sort of feudal era but with consumer electronics and lab-grown cucumbers has been gaining traction over the past few years for obvious reasons, such as 1% reigning over 99%, total state control, etc.
"Tens of thousands of papers have been and are being written...". Do we really need all these papers? I thought the science was settled?
And Green Hydrogen, "the logic is compelling, but...", but, but, everything after "but" is what we meant to say all along. Translation: the logic behind Green Hydrogen is not at all compelling.
Every example you gave us in this most excellent post proves beyond a shadow of doubt, "They don't know what words mean." And we could add, Math & Physics will eventually get you, if you are stupid. Geography is culture. That may be the simplest explanation for why the eu is destined to fail. This post was definitely worthy of a 🔥☕️⚠️, but I'm getting real good at not burning myself while reading the never ending supply of "Tales of the Bobbleheads." Have a great weekend. 🤘😎🤘
Geological Past: Hundreds of millions of years ago, North America (including Canada) was part of the supercontinent Pangea, physically attached to Europe.
Modern Land Border (2022): Canada and Denmark (via Greenland) split the uninhabited Hans Island in the Arctic, establishing a shared land border.
Au contraire mon ami. I think you have it all wrong.
I think we're living *a* story - and it is theirs and not ours. "Them" being EU Technocrats whose social media teams seemingly don't know what "going strong" means nor do their masters laugh very much inside of their democratic bunkers. Of course unless it's about "affixed bottle caps to save the climate" or some such Technocrat babble/regulatory nightmare while they're jetting from Brussels to Strasbourg on EU budgets - all to save the climate and mankind of course, paid by all of us tax payers.
If I'd be able to live "my story" I assure you there wouldn't be any version of the technocratic democrat simulacrum called the "EU" in it.
Pretty soon, I am also afraid nothing much will "work for Germany" in regards to their energy and economic stability - least of all their current government.
Ah, but I do care that their sentences make little sense. If one can't speak/write clearly, it's a pretty good indication that one can't think clearly either. Exceptions made for folks using languages other than their native one.
I keep trying to convince my Son that if you can't explain a concept to other people, then you don't actually understand it yourself, but he still doesn't understand. Hmmm. Maybe I don't understand what I'm trying to tell him....
I strongly agree with your observations. Exceptions for speakers in a foreign language can only be made in a limited way, while they're still learning. Even then, there are ways to convey a clear, coherent thought.
You could write a whole other column on the challenges in geographic understanding suffered by the Canadian Prince, who was welcomed so heartily to the meeting you speak of. Mr Carney, late of the Bank of England, the world citizen whose family lives in New York City, now the uber-nationalistic Prime Minister of Canada, invited himself to the meeting to sputter the same nonsense.
Part of his world touring crusade as he has spent the past year appealing to the baser elements of his fiefdom with cries of "Elbows up" (a reference to being illegally aggressive playing ice hockey), while traveling the globe pretending that Canada could build a wall between itself and the United States, depending instead on the welcoming arms of all the rest to sustain its livelihood. The obvious purpose for this was to get himself elected, which he only barely managed to do.
A quick map study would show that Canada is in North America, which is shares with the United States. More than 90% of Canada's population lives within 200 kms of that border. Two thirds of Canada's trade is with that country; and every aspect of the two huge countries is integrated. Natural features (mountains, lakes and rivers), vast distances and existing infrastructure dictate that this is never going to change. Canada has product (mostly raw materials) that the world wants; if they can be delivered reliably, and at a good price. Both of these factors are currently internal challenges that Mr Carney could profitably spend more time on. And both involve undoing everything that his political party has spent the last decade messing up.
"Elbows up" comes and goes, depending on whose company he is in. More of a chicken dance than a real policy.
Isn't he another disciple of WEF? As is Starmer, Sunak and Johnson. They think of themselves as leaders of the global world rather than leaders of their own countries. They put the world before their own countries. I heard an interesting quote from Claire Fox's Battle of Ideas. Jacob Reynolds quotes Gus O'Donnell who at the time was the most senior Civil Servant in UK government. He said "I think it's my job to maximise global welfare not National Welfare". We had the first minister of Wales say that her proudest achievement was planting 14 million trees in Uganda at a time when Wales was experiencing falling education standards and a collapsing health service.
I think you are a little low on the percentage of trade between Canada and the US, however your point remains a good one.
Canada's Liberal government did propose to supply to the EU green hydrogen as a suitable energy source. It just shows how detached from reality and ignorant of physics these politicians, and the people who vote for them, remain.
re: percentage of trade. So did I before today, but not any longer.
"Canada’s trade surplus with the United States widened to $7.1 billion in March, its highest level since September 2025, largely driven by a 8.3% increase in shipments of passenger cars and light trucks to $48.51 billion. In contrast, imports from the U.S. dropped by 1.2% to $41.44 billion.
Canada is doing much less business with its northern neighbor, with the U.S. accounting for just 66.7% of total exports, the lowest level ever, in large part due to tariffs.Cdn exports to the USA were 66.7% of total exports in March 2026."
Might add that, while I missed it on first read, it seems in the second para of the quote shows that Oilprice.com is having it own problems with geography.
I did notice that, and gave a head scratch. What the paragraph does suggest is business with the US is decreasing. Your point that we should be taking care of serious issues at home rather than romancing the EU.
Europe is now just a museum full of artifacts (such as green grift infrastucture) & architecture (such empty churches) to remind Americans where we came from and what we should not do to lose it all.

Yeah, but it gets even more settled with each paper stating it's settled.
True about green hydrogen.
Suggested edit: [IEEFA] "... announced green hydrogen is not going to work for Germany, or anywhere else in this reality.
Wonderful way to start my Friday. Thank you!
Overrun by idiots really says it all 🤦🏻♂️🙄😡
I couldn't find it in me to be delicate.
We’re way past trying to be delicate 🤣

Thanks, I did!
Thank you Irina. Mr AI tells me:
Geological Past: Hundreds of millions of years ago, North America (including Canada) was part of the supercontinent Pangea, physically attached to Europe.
Modern Land Border (2022): Canada and Denmark (via Greenland) split the uninhabited Hans Island in the Arctic, establishing a shared land border.
See, that Kaja Kallas lady knows a thing or two.
But... she says it's not about geography. :D

The way I see it, they're trying to impose their story on us but can't. They probably see it differently, though, I agree.
Has she been getting English lessons from Kamala Harris? Kaja Kallas sounds similar, are they related perhaps?
Separated at birth I think.

But isn’t carney really a resident of the UK?

I stand corrected.

If he isn’t capable of connecting language to thought isn’t he the definition of an idiot?
Europe is now just a museum full of artifacts (such as green grift infrastucture) & architecture (such empty churches) to remind Americans where we came from and what we should not do to lose it all.
I wonder, at night, if they ever think about a battery?
