I’ve poured my heart into caring for people and backed it with real actions, not just words. But I’ve learned most don’t care— one wrong word and they cut you out forever. I’m done posting and sharing. Time to write my book on 100 hard truths that might get me killed. Can’t wait to leave this world and stand before Jesus Christ for judgment. Goodbye.
I stand correct ✅
Yes — with major caveats.
Short answer to your crux question:
If the Crown (federal or provincial government) “really wanted” specific private land back for a legitimate public purpose, they could legally take it. Crown/government authority does supersede ordinary private property ownership in this context through the power of expropriation (Canada’s version of eminent domain).
This power is rooted in the Crown’s sovereign authority and is enabled by statutes (not unlimited royal prerogative in modern practice).
Key realities and limits:
• They can do it, but not arbitrarily:
• Must be for a public purpose (e.g., roads, hospitals, infrastructure, parks, railways, etc.).
• Must follow strict statutory procedures in the federal Expropriation Act or provincial equivalents (notice, public hearings/objections, confirmation, etc.).
• Courts can review the process for fairness and legality.
• Compensation is almost always required:
• Strong common law presumption of fair compensation (market value + often business losses, disturbance, etc.).
• Statutes generally mandate it. Taking without compensation requires very clear statutory language saying so (rare in standard cases).
• Owners can challenge the amount in court or before a tribunal.
• No constitutional barrier:
• Unlike the US 5th Amendment, Canada’s Charter has no explicit property rights protection. This is the core technical point the original post was highlighting. Governments have more flexibility, but statutes and courts still impose real checks.
In practice:
• Expropriations happen regularly but are not casual — governments prefer to negotiate purchases first.
• Abuse or bad-faith actions can be challenged in court.
• “De facto” takings (e.g., extreme regulations that destroy all economic use) can also trigger compensation claims in many cases.
Bottom line: Yes, ultimately the Crown can take private land if they follow the legal process and have a public justification. You don’t have an absolute constitutional shield against it (unlike some US protections). However, it’s heavily regulated with due process and compensation — not a free-for-all seizure “at any time” as the meme implies.
🤷🏼♂️ sorry, don’t shoot the messenger.
An interesting thing I learned a couple of days ago is that every piece of land in Canada can be taken away at any time by the Crown. Except for First Nations treaty land, the Crown could seize every Canadian’s property if it wanted to. What’s interesting is that if we joined the US, we would actually have constitutional property rights. I wonder how long it’ll take Canadians to figure this out, because realizing we all fought for bullshit and for nothing as a simple Commonwealth state of the Crown is massively infuriating. Canadians are masters having their feelings used as strings to play with them.
If GameStop wants to buy eBay within the next 3 years, it looks like they'll need Proposal 4 to pass at eBay's Annual Meeting next week (June 17).
eBay's current rules require you to have 20% ownership to call a special meeting, but GameStop can’t cross the 15% mark without triggering Delaware’s Section 203. That law puts a 3 year "timeout" on any takeover once you cross 15% ownership, unless the board has approved beforehand.
Since the board already rejected the initial bid, board approval is highly unlikely.
That leaves 2 ways to pull off a deal:
eBay's Proposal 4 Passes: Proposal 4 would bring the threshold to call a special meeting from 20% to 10%. GameStop could then obtain 10% ownership and call for a special meeting to push for change or influence the board
The "85% Rule" via Tender Offer: GameStop could try going directly to shareholders to buy their stock but they would have to land at least 85% of the voting stock in one shot (excluding shares held by insiders)
Since the 85% rule is much harder to pull off, Proposal 4 seems to be a critical move at the moment. We'll see what happens.

@TransSplendor Task at this point almost feels impossible after years and very few Canadians listening. I am with you in this frustration. If anything you e at least proved your a very intelligent and legit dude willing to hold the line. Respect.
Why $GME Will (Soon) Pay Cash Dividends – In-Depth Thesis
GameStop isn’t dying — it’s reloading with unprecedented financial strength. As of Q1 2026 (ended May 2, 2026), GameStop reported: Record quarterly net income in company history: $389.6 million. Record first-quarter operating income: $143.3 million Net sales up 14% year-over-year, driven by strong collectibles growth. Total liquidity of $9.7 billion (including $8.4 billion in cash, cash equivalents & marketable securities)
The balance sheet is a fortress: massive cash pile, manageable debt (mostly zero-coupon convertibles), and positive free cash flow trends after years of cost discipline.They already proved they’re willing to return value creatively with the 2025 warrant dividend (1 warrant per 10 shares, $32 strike, expiring Oct 2026). That was a smart, non-dilutive way to reward shareholders and potentially raise billions if exercised.Why cash dividends are the logical — and likely — next step:
Excess Capital is Obvious
A modest $0.50 per share annual dividend on ~448 million shares outstanding = roughly $224 million payout per year. That’s tiny compared to $8.4B+ in cash and growing profits. Even a $1.00/share dividend is easily sustainable. The company is earning interest on its cash hoard while generating real operating profits — it doesn’t need to hoard every dollar for survival anymore.
Standard Capital Allocation for a Mature Turnaround
Ryan Cohen’s Chewy playbook and “owner’s mentality” show he understands returning capital when appropriate. After right-sizing the business, delivering profitability, and issuing warrants, the next phase for companies with excess cash is dividends + buybacks. On June 2, 2026, the board already approved a new $2 billion share repurchase program — a clear sign they’re serious about shareholder returns.
Rewards Loyal Shareholders
Especially DRS’d diamond hands who held through years of volatility. A recurring cash dividend creates real income, encourages long-term holding, and builds a more stable shareholder base beyond pure speculation.
Signals Maturity and Confidence
It shifts the narrative from “meme stock with cash” to “profitable company with disciplined capital returns.” This can attract institutional income investors and support a higher valuation multiple.
Pressure on Shorts & Market Dynamics
Actual cash leaving the company reduces the appeal of short positions and can create real economic friction. Combined with the warrant precedent, it shows management is willing to use creative and traditional tools to benefit owners.
Timing Fits Perfectly
With record profits in Q1 2026, a strengthening collectibles business, and a war chest that keeps growing, the company has multiple levers. They can pay dividends while still pursuing acquisitions, further buybacks, or other growth moves. Idle cash eventually faces pressure — dividends prevent wasteful spending and show confidence in the turnaround.
This isn’t hopium. It’s textbook corporate finance: Profitable companies with strong balance sheets and excess cash return capital to owners. GameStop has already started down this path with warrants and buybacks. A cash dividend (special or recurring) is the natural evolution.

Elon Musk thinks coding dies this year.
Not evolves. Dies.
By December, AI won’t need programming languages. It generates machine code directly. Binary optimized beyond anything human logic could produce. No translation. No compilation. Just pure execution.
Musk: “You don’t even bother doing coding.”
Code was never the point. It was friction. A tax we paid because machines didn’t speak human. AI just learned fluent human. The tax is gone.
Now plug that into Neuralink. No syntax. No keyboard. No screen.
Musk: “Imagination-to-software.”
Thought becomes executable. You imagine an outcome, the system architects and compiles it into reality instantly.
We’re not automating programming. We’re erasing it from existence.
The entire profession collapses into a thought. Decades of training reduced to irrelevance. The gap between idea and instantiation hits zero.
You don’t build anymore. You imagine, and it materializes.
Not incremental progress. Total phase shift. The way humans have created things for ten thousand years just became obsolete.
Welcome to a world where the limiting factor isn’t skill, resources, or time. It’s whether you can picture what you want clearly enough for a machine to birth it into existence.
This means Ryan Cohen can now legally convert GameStop’s derivative exposure into a 9% physical equity stake with full voting rights. 🤯
If eBay shareholders approve Proposal 4 on June 17, reaching just 10% ownership would allow us to bypass the board entirely and directly petition shareholders for a vote on an acquisition. 👀
