CANADA HAS LOST THE PLOT. 🇨🇦
Edmonton Police lists “offensive jokes” as an example of a hate-motivated incident.
The greatest comedians in history built careers on offending everyone equally.
You know what’s becoming the biggest joke?
Canada.
With all the clamour about Anthony Fauci's Congressional testimony, we shouldn't lose sight of President Trump's tremendous leadership in Operation Warp Speed.
It played a critical role in the rapid development, testing and distribution of safe vaccines that ended the Covid pandemic, and saved countless lives.
Full credit and gratitude where they are due. Thank-you, President Trump.

@gregbradyx@Chris_AutismDad Talk about the one that modelled infection recovered too low and vaccine protection too high after the Israeli data came out too
It’s awfully interesting how CBC’s general take on Twitter is XYZ meanwhile they clearly hire people to scour Twitter daily for something as little as one or two word comments that could be turned into segments for the national
CBC once again manufactures a full-blown national crisis out of a two-word reply
Shopify CEO @tobi responds “Good system.” to a former bank exec’s thought experiment about weighted votes based on income tax paid. That’s it. No manifesto. No legislation. No campaign. Just two words on X
Enter John Beebe from Toronto Metropolitan University’s Democratic Engagement Exchange, who immediately treats this as an existential assault on Canadian democracy. Cue the predictable script: “tech bro billionaires,” “out of touch,” “destructive to democracy,” dark warnings about concentrated power, and the obligatory lecture that the rest of us must “get out and vote” to stop people like Lutke from “calling the shots”
This is CBC leap-to-conclusions activism journalism. A casual endorsement of an idea (one that will never happen in Canada) is inflated into proof that wealthy entrepreneurs want to strip the poor of the franchise. Meanwhile, the actual power imbalance—massive lobbying, regulatory capture, and elite consensus in Ottawa—gets waved away so the story can stay focused on the easy villain: the successful founder who built a genuine Canadian success story
Equal suffrage is a settled principle. Debating incentives, taxation, and representation is not sedition. Turning every heterodox comment from a high-profile entrepreneur into a morality play about “tech bros” does more to breed cynicism than the original reply ever could
If the only acceptable public thought is the approved orthodoxy, we’re not protecting democracy—CBC's policing it
Imagine if the snark of Mark Carney were granted even a fraction of this examination @brodiefenlon@tobi
On 11 March he was sworn before House Oversight.

Ten times more lethal than flu.
Serial 116-96, page 29.
Twenty days later he published the same reasoning under his own name.
Fauci, Lane and Redfield in the New England Journal of Medicine: the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1 percent, closer to a severe seasonal influenza.
