Fox News credulously reports that "the Saudis now say their investment pledge in the US will be increased to $1 trillion." THE ENTIRE GDP OF SAUDI ARABIA IS $1.1 TRILLION, so this is total nonsense.

Prediction markets have been wildly wrong in the past - but they do hold some value as a source of information.
Current expectations for a #cdnpoli election being triggered this year: 6%.
The spike in October was right around when Fred DeLorey published his infamous piece :)

As mentioned in this week’s MBP Intelligence pod, there’s an interesting amendment to C-5 buried in #Budget2025.
To make clear how projects support 🇨🇦s climate goals.
It reinforces & aligns with the public’s expectation that we not only build faster - but build right.

A reminder that in the most recent federal election most people still got the vast plurality of their news from mainstream media.
So, as much as fact checking is critical, just because something is a thing online doesn’t mean it has to be chased.
