Les vendeurs de rêve avec leurs écoles de hockey qui travaillent sur des outils spectaculaires mais qui oublient la base. Quand tu construit le toit avant la fondation...ça te rattrape.

Les organisations de hockey mineur qui poussent leurs jeunes à jouer 12 mois par année. Tu viens pas au camp tu peux pas faire le club.... on entend ça souvent.

Tout le monde est un AAA...le talent est trop éparpillé pour moi. Mon fils est aaa espoir de l'espoirs des espoirs pour être l'espoir de la liste d'espoirs du AAA....

Les compagnies qui vendent des bâtons à 400$ quand ça change absolument rien pour un kid de 8 ans. Ils font partie du problème côté prix pour jouer au hockey.

Et .... est-ce que les arénas et leurs parents sont vraiment un endroit pour s'épanouir si tu es un jeune?! J'en doute...

Il y a bien certainement 100 autres points mais je vais commencer là. 🤓

Government of Canada is bailing out developers who built condos *nobody wants*. These are units that are terribly overpriced and the government is helping the builders.

This is madness. This is, and I use this word carefully, evil. This is why families can't afford homes.

[The Food Professor @FoodProfessor]

So let me get this straight...

Canada is in a recession—the only G7 country currently in one. Unemployment is up. Inflation is rising. Food insecurity is at a record high.

Yet the highest proportion of Canadians since 2017 now say the country is on the right track.

That's either a remarkable display of optimism—or a sign that many Canadians aren't getting the full economic story from the news they consume.

@filhetu Pourquoi pensez-vous que La Presse a mis sur pause notre collaboration? J’ai dit quelque chose que La Presse ne veut pas que les gens sachent, point final. Les médias sont à la solde du gouvernement fédéral, point final.

#Breaking: Canada LOST 17,700 vs the expected 10,000 gain in April

The unemployment rate spiked to 6.9% (highest since October) vs 6.7% in March

Full time jobs dropped by 46,700 positions
Part time jobs +29,000

Not a good print.

@nejatian Any plan to expand in Canada?

[Kaz Nejatian @nejatian]

Canada needs to build a pipeline. Fast.

When the West faced an old shortage during World War II, the US built the Big Inch Pipeline. 1,200 miles of pipeline built in months.

Crews laid 9 miles per day of pipeline - with 1942 technology.

Northern Gateway has been in review since 2006 (20+ years). Northern Gateway is about half the length of Big Inch. We have much better technology than we used to.

Let's just build!

Israel loses 22% of its computer science PhDs abroad. They call it a national emergency. The Knesset debates it. Newspapers run it front page.

Canada loses 71% of Waterloo's best engineers. Nobody blinks. Nobody even notices! Shrug.

Same problem. 4x worse. Zero urgency.

[Eric Jackson @ericjackson]

Canada's GDP per capita was 94% of America's in 1981.

Today it's 67%. The widest gap since World War II.

Ontario — Canada's economic engine — is now poorer than 43 US states. Including Louisiana and Alabama.

This isn't a blip. It's a generational collapse. Here's the data:

From 2017-2024, US productivity grew 10.1%. Canada's fell 0.6%. America is sprinting. Canada is walking backwards.

71% of Waterloo software engineering grads leave for the US. The brain drain damage threshold is 20%. Canada is at 3x the red line.

Israel spends 6.35% of GDP on R&D. The US spends 3.4%. Canada spends 1.7%. That's not a gap. That's a different species.

Canada's pension funds hold $2.6 trillion. Only 13% is invested in Canada. 47% is in the US. Even Canada's own money doesn't believe in Canada.

Net FDI position: negative $1 trillion. Capital is fleeing the country faster than Waterloo grads.

72% of Canadian entrepreneurs start businesses because "jobs are scarce." Not opportunity. Survival.

Canadian workers get 30 cents of IP investment for every $1 an American worker gets. You can't out-innovate anyone with 30-cent tools.

The average Canadian spends 48% of their income on a mortgage. The average American: 34%. Canadians work to pay for houses. Americans work to build companies.

None of this is about laziness. Canadians are talented. The system is broken.

Zero income tax. Business-friendly regulation. Speed of execution. That's Dubai. That's Singapore. That's what "Dubai of the North" means.

Canada has everything — talent, resources, geography, rule of law. What it doesn't have is a system that rewards building.

Fix the tax code. Kill the red tape. Stop subsidizing real estate. Start subsidizing R&D. The talent is there. The capital will follow.

Greenland - As viewed from a proper map

Why Greenland? Well because Moscow bases almost all of their strategic military assets on the Kola Peninsula next to Finland. This is where the Russian ICBM silos, submarine bases, and their strategic bombers are.

If you look at the flight path (ballistic or powered) from Kola to anywhere on the lower 48, then everything goes over Greenland.

Greenland is the theatre where any strategic exchange between Washington and Moscow is contested.

If you want to intercept a ballistic missile, the best point to do so is at the apogee, at the top of the flight path. The shortest route for an interceptor to get to an apogee is from directly below the apogee.

That’s where Greenland is.

So, without stating what should happen here, this is **why** the Trump administration says they **need** Greenland for national security.

The other thing that is happening is that the Northern Passage through the Arctic is opening up, and soon there will be Chinese cargo ships sailing through the Arctic to Rotterdam. It’s faster than the Suez and the ships aren’t limited to Suezmax size so China and EU trade is going to accelerate a lot.

This means Chinese submarines will also be venturing under the Arctic into the Northern Atlantic, IF THEY AREN’T ALREADY DOING SO.

Hence, the North East coast of Greenland serves not 1 but 2 critical strategic security objectives of US national security.

If this wasn’t clear to you, please understand that the Mercator global map projection is for children and journalists only. It is not a useful guide to where any countries or territories actually are in the real world that we live in.

No self respecting adult should be using Mercator for their worldview. Anyone saying “there must be some other secret reason for Trump being interested in Greenland” is a certified ignoramus.

Good news & bad news.

Good news for the end of a narco-state.

Bad news for the Canadian economy.

Canadians have no idea what this means for our oil industry & our economy.

A US “friendly” President will be installed.

The US will lift sanctions from Venezuela & heavy crude oil will be imported into the US.

Meaning, Canada’s primary customer for crude, the US, will now have cheaper options available.

By Canada not pushing through with Keystone XL, expansion to Asia and Europe, will cost us dearly.

Trump wanted Keystone XL. He mentioned it several times earlier this year.

And now he’s got something bigger and better: the biggest oil reserves on earth.

This was the key leverage we had on CUSMA… the US dependency on our oil.

Now that’s gone.

Carney took too long to negotiate, Trump likely realized that Canada will never supply the quantities of oil/gas the US wants/needs & instead, he “diversified”.

I know this is going to make Carney sweat.

It’s not good news for Canada’s economy.

We had a potential for a monopoly & we blew it.

Il n’y a rien de mal de noter que le modèle québécois est en faillite, que nous sommes l’endroit le plus taxé d’Amérique et de rappeler que cet argent est mal dépensé dans toutes sortes de programmes inutiles.
