🧵Just a friendly reminder that at this time a year ago, social gatherings of more than 10 people were illegal in Alberta. Furthermore, those gathering had to be vaccinated. In other words, even family members couldn't come to your small Christmas party. 1/
A year ago, this was considered a normal way to broadcast a hockey game. 2/
A year ago, showing a vaccine QR code to enter a restaurant was considered normal. Today, asking if someone who recently had a heart attack was vaccinated is not. 3/
A year ago, making people spend up to a week in a quarantine hotel after returning home from a vacation was considered normal, even if they were healthy and had no symptoms.

A year ago, filling a skateboard park with sand to prevent kids from using it was considered normal.
A year ago, Alberta legalized discrimination through its Orwellian double speak program called "The Restriction Exemption Program". Some businesses even got money to promote discrimination.
A year ago in Alberta, the government was handing out $100 gift cards to encourage people to get vaccinated. The government even gave $1 million to a lucky Albertan, a teacher of course.
Don't forget what the politicians did to us. Remember that this was encouraged by senior bureaucrats and supported by an army of middle managers at every level of our governments.

People put masks on the end of trumpets.
A year ago you could drive with a friend in the same car, but this is how you dined.
A year ago, Alberta was arresting pastors.
A year ago, Alberta was erecting fences around churches to prevent people from worshiping.

A year ago, Alberta was arresting kids who just wanted to play outdoor hockey. In one instance, they even threatened a kid with a taser and knocked him to the ground with violent force.

A year ago, police who were "just doing their job", beat up citizens who weren't wearing masks. They did it to protect them. 🤡
A year ago, private companies were discriminating against employees.

🧵Last week the Trudeau Liberals bypassed Parliament and used an Order in Council to once again attack Canadian gun owners.

The Liberals are confiscating legally acquired property from law-abiding citizens.

Who are Canadian gun owners?

P.S. I used the term gun, because I'm done using the politically correct term "firearm" just to appease bleeding hearts.

As of December 31, 2023, there were 2,364,726 firearms licence holders in Canada. That's roughly 6% of our population.

There are an estimated 15 million households in Canada, so anywhere between 10% and 15% of households have at least one gun owner.

Those licences break down as follows:

Non-restricted Licence holders: 1,560,304
Minor's Licence holders: 12,222
Restricted Licence holders: 752,002
Prohibited Licence holders: 40,188

The graph below shows that the number of permit holders has been climbing steadily for decades.

In order to posses or acquire (i.e. buy or trade) a gun, you must first obtain a Possession and Acquisition Licence, commonly referred to as a PAL.

There are different licences, which allow people to acquire and possess different firearms.

The basic licence allows people to acquire non-restricted firearms, which are most hunting rifles, shotguns and small caliber "plinking" rifles.

Note: Usually if you are in possession of a firearm, you need a licence even if you are not the owner and never handle the firearm. If you let your license expire, but you still own the guns, you're breaking the law. If you have an old uncle or relative who passed away, and your aunt still has his guns, she's likely breaking the law.

🧵In 2022 Statistics Canada published a report entitled

"The Public Sector Universe"

In witch it stated:

"The size of Canada's public sector remains large"

1/Image
The public sector consists of all the departments controlled by the government (Fed., prov., municipal), which includes the general government sector and government business enterprises (GBEs), commonly referred to as public corporations.

In the 2022 report, there were 6,122 active units.

This table is all the departments spread across the country (4,310 in total)

Here's a list of the Crown corporations.

🧵Forest Fire update (so I have it for the record)

The season is basically over, we've had snow and below freezing temperatures for days.

There are currently 25 active fires in Alberta, all listed as "under control"

1/ Image
Here's the stat's as of today (Nov 4, 2024)

2/ Image
The number of annual forest fires across Canada has been declining steadily for the last 40 years. This year we had half as many fires as we did in 1989.

🧵5 years ago today I quit my 6 figure job and took myself out of the rat race. It was an impulsive decision made at a hockey game that I have never regretted.

How did it happen?

Note: Picture of me as a young engineer in Fox Creek (circa 1992).

1/ Image
I spent the first 20 years of my oil & gas career living in mostly northern Alberta, working in the field, doing actual engineering.

I lived in Fox Creek, Fort Saskatchewan, Edson, Grande Prairie, Burstall, and DeWinton. I designed and supervised the construction of equipment like those shown below.

Over time I progressed into leadership roles. I became a superintendent and eventually a manager of large facilities. I have a knack for leading teams and solving big problems. I also love planning, budgeting, forecasting, and optimizing.

Here's a video filmed at one such facility, the Germain SAGD plant north of Wabasca, AB. I loved working for Laricina because we were pioneering, trying to produce oil from a reservoir that everyone said would be impossible. We succeeded.

🧵I finally updated all my spreadsheets with the data from the Parliamentary Budget Officer's latest report on the state ouf Canada's fiscal outlook (October 17, 2024)

Two major conclusions.

1) Things are getting worse.

2) The Parliamentary Budget Officer sucks at making forecasts and prediction. He's been wrong every year.

1/
pbo-dpb.ca/en/publication…Image
Firstly, here is the core economic data used by the PBO for all his calculations and forecasts.

He's basically predicting some very agressive growth in the coming years, with a GDP climbing by 2% annually, inflation below 2% and the Bank of Canada's interest rate below 3%. (note: maybe wait a year before buying that house).

What's really interesting is that a super important input in all the calculations is the price of oil. Now why would that be? Don't answer, I'm being sarcastic.

Oil is a commodity that we produce, which is a cornerstone of our economy.

2/Image
Another key assumption in the report, is Canada's non-permanent resident (NPR) population (graph below).

The government announced its intention to reduce the proportion of non-permanent residents (NPR) in the population to 5 per cent over three years.

This is an important input, because it affects our population, which affect almost every economic factor, especially future gross domestic production.
