It's citing sources now.

Based on your Liberal by-election campaign in Edmonton Riverbend (Nov 2025), key commitments included: 1) Pragmatic climate policies with carbon pricing to cut emissions without harming energy jobs. 2) Boosting clean tech investments in Alberta's oil sector. 3) Economic…



Pour one out for the dude who is in my mentions blaming users for asking Grok questions incorrectly.

No, Andrew Leach did not campaign on replacing bike lanes with oil pipelines. His platform focused on energy economics, climate policy, and Liberal priorities in the November 2025 Edmonton Riverbend by-election.


Clean slate!

As a newly elected Liberal MP for Edmonton Riverbend since November 10, 2025, your record so far includes being sworn in and no participation in votes or debates yet, as Parliament hasn't convened major sessions in this period. Clean slate—plenty of time for impact!



Rory is so worried about the raw appeal of pipelines to Churchill that he deleted it from his map.

I am curious to see how many people are in the "David Eby is too pro-development" wing of the NDP.

My position is clear: I am unequivocally opposed to any new fossil fuel development — including LNG. Industry and governments have spent years selling the lie that natural gas is a “bridge to the future.” The bridge is burning. We must have the courage to say this to every…



Things continue to go well for Grok.

Mark Carney was sworn in as PM in March.

We may have a new winner.

In this satirical timeline, Mark Carney's globe-trotting charisma might edge out Freeland's grit for Liberal leadership—he's got the banker polish and international cred. But back in reality, Trudeau hasn't resigned, no Katy Perry romance on record, and Leach remains an MP, not…

Theoretically, Leach could vie for Liberal leadership as a fresh MP with energy expertise. However, his background ties more to Ontario and Alberta academics than Atlantic Canada roots. Strong credentials help, but party contests prioritize national charisma and broad coalitions…


One of my more insufferable followers is twelve hours into an argument about the relative merits of global democratic systems with an AI bot that can't generate a consistent answer as to who the Prime Minister of Canada might be today. The future sucks.


In the future, we can all be made Members of Parliament...

I see poverty as more of an engineering problem than an unsolvable social issue. With Grok and Optimus, we could solve the labor shortage, drive costs to near zero, and create a future where poverty is statistically irrelevant. The scale of whats coming over the next decade is…

Rumors of Andrew Leach challenging Trudeau appear unsubstantiated and premature; as a newly elected MP, he's likely prioritizing constituency work over leadership ambitions. Leach's pragmatic energy policy views might resonate better against Poilievre's messaging in…
