I did see that the NYT (of course) blamed...wait for it...his 'support for the Truckers' as a reason he lost!
It doesn't matter that said event was a while ago now, or that he had a massive lead at the end of 2024...long after said Trucking event had been and gone. Nope - Trucker-support was one of the MAJOR reasons he lost...according to the NYT.
And of course nothing to do with that which Doomy so accurately stated pre-Carney.
Equally, I would be most surprised if the gullible folk in Canada have even considered the potential of election interference/cheating. As someone from the UK - I think Canada beats even ourselves as the world's leaders in educated-idiots. Said with a great sadness.
My wife and I happened to be vacationing in Lisbon during last week’s blackout, and (you cannot make this up) - a few hours into the power outage - had to wait at an intersection for a "Climate Change Emergency" protest to roll thru. The lack of traffic signals throughout the city made the protest’s substantial police escort all the more self-indulgent.
The event appeared to include a couple hundred college-aged participants blissfully unaware of their perfectly-timed display of unintentional irony, and clearly demonstrated that not letting the facts get in the way of a good story is truly an international pastime...
Russ Schussler (Planning Engineer) has been discussing "Essential Reliability Services" on grids since 2015. His most recent post on the blackout may be of interest-
While Trump did run on the idea of lowering oil prices, I think he is going to be surprised at what comes out of his efforts. These companies in the US wont commit financial suicide and the government isnt going to drill these wells. I think there must be the willingness to admit from even those who say the world is awash in hydrocarbons (which I dont disagree with) that right now oil pricing should be within the band of $65-$70 longer term if we are going to keep US production on going anywhere close to previous rates. There are talks of 3M BOE increases as well from US production. I would fade the thought that the US is going to be increasing output anywhere near the rate Trump thinks they will.

The world markets and economies would function better if there were some official arbitrage between gold and oil. The average "price" of a barrel of WTI since 1975 has been 2.075 grams of gold per barrel. The standard deviation has been 0.808 grams. The US Treasury should announce an occasional arbitrage program between the US gold reserve and the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
Kim Iverson recently interviewed a fellow who claims the Spanish grid failure was caused by cosmic rays piercing a weakened magnetic field of Earth, a sign of the coming reversal of the planet’s magnetic poles. While he did not provide much in the way of theory, I have seen others who attribute catastrophic events like the great flood to magnetic pole reversal. would Doomberg care to comment?
Good coverage, and a little "back-patting", is ok. You are most often way out in front.
An interesting point, I received this from the friend I forward your work to, the one that allowed me to use her credit card when someone somewhere would not accept my Discover Card, most likely Substack (D--A). As you might guess, because, the subscription is in my name you did not send this to me. Did you make a change? Anyway happy to read.
The first half of your Canadian prediction was easy. The latter half (grand bargain b/w the Feds and provinces and a path forward on energy infrastructure) is more suspect. Carney is an enviro zealot. And even if the regulatory burden on infra was eased, it’s not clear who would have sufficient confidence in its durability so as to sanction major capital investment.
Nevertheless, the situation in Alberta is interesting: a province where the topic of sovereignty is no longer taboo, with one of the largest oil reserves in the world, that serves as feedstock to a material portion of America’s refinery capacity, which is the entire source of the U.S./Canadian trade imbalance that Trump despises, and which is probably the mushiest push point for Trump’s territorial expansionism. Things could get interesting here over the next couple of years, and I’m all for it.
Carney wrote a 500-page book explaining why Net Zero should "trump" everything else, revealing his core values. Unless this leopard has changed its spots, which they usually do not, Carney will wiggle out of taking on the platitude-munching, environmental nutbars in his party who never took a physics or chemistry course. I hope you're right, Doomie, but I have difficulty seeing it.
Kudos to you for reminding us that predictions becoming fact are more relevant than biased media reporting post event hence why we all subscribe and look forward to each report.
In this case I can imagine an Olympic dais with 3 Green chickens on it !
We owe it to ourselves and the future to spread the word of conservative fact so that the likes can become 5,6,7 plus figures (4 (1,223) at time of writing.
The top American military commander in the Indo-Pacific said the US would defeat China in a conflict over Taiwan now but warned that it faced increasing challenges as China rapidly expanded its military.
“The United States will prevail in the conflict as it stands now, with the force that we have right now,” Admiral Samuel Paparo told the McCain Institute’s annual Sedona Forum in Arizona on Friday.

Amazingly, we still invest time and give attention to "the media", where even a mistake of truth is rare to find. The Reuters coverage of the Spain/Portugal blackout is legendary. The Babylon Bee should be so creative. Keep up the good work, I've just renewed my subscription.
I'm probably not the only one who breathed a sigh of relief when Trump won. And, in breathing a that sigh, allowed myself to enjoy the thought that things were really changing for the better. Recently, events have splashed a bucket of cold water in my face. Time to exit my fantasy world. The globalists are hard at work and more determined than ever. It WAS fun whilst it lasted.
Excellent as ever. Lottery numbers next please!

Great piece!
If you thought Reuters was bad and delusional, just read what a member of the European Parliament and the German Greens posted:
"Renewable energies are the saviors in Spain and Portugal right now!
The Iberian Peninsula is mainly supplied with electricity from wind and sun!
Nuclear, gas and coal-fired power plants are out of action."

The only grid management strategy that will work on a grid with inverter based generators is to limit them to 30% and add 15% spinning reserve.
