Remember when Poilievre and the #cpc went all conspiracy theory on WEF and Davos?
“I will ban all of my ministers and top government officials from any involvement in the World Economic Forum," Poilievre said, chuckling as he received lengthy applause for the remark.

The #CPC confirmed on Tuesday that #DamienKurek — who held the #BattleRiver-Crowfoot seat previously — would run in the riding again in the next election.
So now they're just shuffling the price from riding to riding? Is that even legal @charlieangus104.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy?!

Imagine what Poilievre and the #CPC would be saying at Davos.
My trainee & I listened to @mark-carney.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy in #Davos today while we didaccounting. If you have not had the opportunity to listen yet, make time. You'll need about 20 minutes. I can't wait to see how it gets distorted by the media and #CPC supporters over the next few hours. #cdnpoli

Bruce Anderson claims that the #CPC "comes off as compromised by the affinity of some of its voters for Trump and MAGA."
I don't see that the party or #PierrePoilievre do anything particularly to appeal to such voters, but it could be true that they try not to alienate them. On the other hand, avoiding picking fights with the White House is probably wise policy for the nation; PM Carney hasn't been loud about #Greenland either. But then, few question his loyalty...

Ukrainian Drone Attacks On The CPC Threaten To Upend Kazakhstan And Reshape Russia’s Southern Flank
Ukrainian Drone Attacks On The CPC Threaten To Upend Kazakhstan And Reshape Russia’s Southern Flank
Continued strikes across 2026 could lead to protracted disruptions that greatly reduce Kazakhstan’s budgetary revenue and result in social spending slashes for next year, which could prompt protests that spiral out of control just like January 2022’s one did for creating a crisis on Russia’s southern flank.
Ukraine once again launched drone strikes against tankers connected to the partially US-owned Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC), which transits through Russia and serves as landlocked Kazakhstan’s oil export lifeline via which 80% of such sales are conducted. Energy exports account for around 35% of GDP, 75% of exports, and an estimated 30% of government revenue. With this data in mind, Bloomberg’s report about how Kazakh exports through the CPC plummeted by 45% over the past month is alarming.
If the conflict continues and Ukraine feels emboldened by the US’ recent seizure of a Russian-flagged tanker to keep up the tempo of its strikes against the CPC, be it the export terminal at Novorossiysk and/or tankers, then Kazakhstan’s economic and therefore political stability might be threatened. It was earlier thought that “Ukraine Risked Trump’s Wrath After Bombing Partially US-Owned Oil Infrastructure In Russia” last February, but he did nothing afterwards to coerce it into discontinuing these attacks.
This is in spite of the CPC being partially owned by US energy majors whose profits would be hit by the Kazakh oil export disruptions brought about by continued Ukrainian drone attacks. Moreover, Kazakhstan signed a MoU with the US on critical minerals last November and then joined the Abraham Accords even though it already recognizes Israel, shortly after which it announced plans to produce NATO-standard shells. These should have ordinarily been enough reasons for the US to get Ukraine to stop its strikes.
The fact that Ukraine has continued to attack the CPC despite the aforementioned four interests that closely tie the US to Kazakhstan strongly suggests that Trump 2.0 might be playing a double game. If the conflict drags on, Ukrainian attacks against the CPC are ramped up, and Kazakhstan’s budgetary revenue for the coming year plummets as a result, then social spending for 2027 might be slashed. Protests could follow, thus leading to unrest, which might spiral out of control like what happened in January 2022.
Unlike back then when Kazakhstan requested an intervention from the Russian-led CSTO, it might instead request such from the Turkish-led Organization of Turkic States (OTS). That’s because it might fear that Russia could exploit an intervention to punish it for its NATO-standard shell production and speculation that it allows Ukraine to use its territory to carry out drone strikes inside of Russia. This selfsame fear was recently exacerbated by the Washington Post claiming that Kazakhstan is Putin’s “next stop”.
The deployment of NATO member Turkiye’s troops to CSTO member Kazakhstan, no matter how temporary their mission might officially be, could easily worsen Russian-Turkish tensions given Turkiye’s expected expansion of influence along Russia’s entire southern periphery. Russia could either accept its strategic encirclement, preempt it by cutting Kazakhstan off from the Caspian like a self-exiled Kazakh opposition figure speculated that it’s already plotting to do, or unilaterally intervene to confront Turkiye.
None of these scenarios are ideal for Russia, but they could be catalysed by uncontrollable unrest caused by Kazakhstan slashing social spending if Ukrainian strikes against its oil export lifeline continue across 2026, which can’t be ruled out seeing as how the EU agreed to fund Ukraine for the next two years. A swift end to the conflict through military or political means could offset this sequence of events, however, ergo a compelling reason why Russia might agree to compromise on its maximalist goals.

Trying to convert an ASCII-File (#basic program) to #amstrad #cpc disc format (.DSK)
I have the BASIC program as a file `basic.bas` on my #linux machine.
Steps:
1. converting it to pure ASCII:
`iconv -f UTF-8 -t ASCII//TRANSLIT basic.bas -o basica.bas`
2. converting the line endings:
`dos2unix basica.bas`
3. creating a new disc with iDSK:
`iDSK disc.dsk -n`
4. adding the BASIC file to that new disc:
`iDSK disc.dsk -i basica.bas -t 0`
I know that the file on disc is still ASCII, not BASIC tokenized.
Inserting the disc image to various CPC emulators shows the file `BASICA.BAS` is there.
Loading results in the error `line too long`
Showing the contens of that file works:
`10 OPENIN "BASICA.BAS"
20 WHILE NOT EOF
30 LINE INPUT #9,a$
40 PRINT a$
50 WEND
60 CLOSEIN`
but lines are weird (pic)

During China's #CulturalRevolution, #ThisDayInHistory in 1967, the #ShanghaiPeoplesCommune was formed, inspired by the #ParisCommune. Initially backed by #MaoZedong, he withdrew support when it called for #democratic elections and an end to #CPC domination and state #capitalism.
If a foreign government announced its intention to annex Canada and launched a trade as the first phase, shouldn't the head of an organization supporting that foreign government be arrested and the organization be declared an enemy?
What would Stephen Harper do?
Mark Carney, probably.
