Voting to take someone else’s money and give it to a group you like doesn’t make you virtuous or compassionate.

They crossed a line with this condos-for-housing grift.

No one gets EVs or Telesat:
- for years this govt has corruptly wasted billions of public money competing against market forces in EVs and satellites. No one got how corrupt that was because those aren’t assets people understand.

Everyone gets houses:
- but everyone understands condos, fees and mortgages - and sale prices that make no sense.

- everyone knows the Vancouver Liberal condo developers are donors that supported our fed housing minister when he was mayor of Vancouver. And they know the Chinese money they used to prop up Vancouver is going away.

So watching the government use Canadians’ tax dollars to buy mispriced poorly made Vancouver condos off of donors who can’t sell them but won’t lower their prices?

That hurts.

People are watching their kids leave Canada at record levels now - for better jobs, houses and economic options - and then they watch their govt give billions to donor developers instead of letting the prices drop?

It’s not washing this time.

Everyone - even the CBC - understands house and mortgage math. And this is the most corrupt thing they can imagine doing with public money.

And they’re right.

@TristinHopper Started seeing social nonsense back in the 90s. My view is too much affluence and ease leads to boredom and aimlessness. People conjure up all kinds of imminent disaster so they have purpose.

A small public service announcement from the Department of Things That You Should Know…

It has not “peeked” your interest.
Nor has it “peaked” your interest.

…It has piqued your interest.

You are not “phased” by something.
You are fazed by it.

If you’ve had a long day, you are weary.
If you suspect someone is an idiot, you are wary.

It is “due course”, not “do course”.
“Per se”, not “per say”.

And while we’re here, it’s “could have”, not “could of”, but that particular battle may already be lost.

Thank you for your attention during this brief outbreak of grammatical housekeeping.

This has been a @LairdofthManor announcement.🎩💙

They don’t care for the poor.

They just envy the rich.

[L. Wayne Mathison @WayneMathison]

The Left would do itself a favour by learning basic economics. I studied economics in high school and university, and the first lesson is simple: wealth is created, not merely divided up.

Money moves wealth around. Work, skill, risk, investment, invention, farming, building, repairing, producing, and organizing people create wealth.

The fixed-pie mindset is poison. It teaches people that someone else’s success must explain their own failure. Sometimes people are exploited, yes. Sometimes rules are rigged, yes. But the general idea that one person getting richer automatically makes everyone else poorer is childish nonsense.

A farmer grows more food. A mechanic restores a vehicle. A business owner creates jobs. A musician writes a song. A builder turns lumber into a house. None of that steals wealth. It creates it.

If your entire politics is based on resentment instead of production, you are not fighting poverty. You are defending the thinking that keeps people poor.

Been brushing up on the discourse and I’ve decided that every single person is richer than me is a greedy bastard and every single person poorer than me is a loser. I and only I have the exact right amount of money.

[Hazel Appleyard @HazelAppleyard]

Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire has been a really great IQ test for the general public.

You see people online who think Elon literally has a trillion dollars sitting in a bank somewhere and has chosen to just… keep it there.

These are not serious people and not worth engaging with. It’s like trying to have an intelligent discussion with a monkey.

[Rock Chartrand @RockChartrand]

If your solution to every problem is "tax the rich," then you should want more rich people.

Not fewer.

You should be rooting for trillionaires and hoping for quadrillionaires.

It's odd to demand ever larger welfare programs while treating wealth creation itself as a problem.

The goose laying the golden eggs cannot simultaneously be your villain and your funding source.
