@GavinNewsom Can you stop ruining my name a STFU. Gavin & Stacy made it cool to be a Gavin until James Cordon turned out to be a meanie. And you arent helping by being a moron!

@FoodProfessor It goes "technical recession"->"kinda recession"->"what's a recession?"->"elbows up recession"->"Canada strong fund needs more money to reverse recession"

Don't fall for the bait talk Eby. Trump says things like this before every trade deal. Read between the lines, CUSMA is ending, it isn't being renewed, we knew that already, the new deal will be called something else. Of course Canada has things US wants, unfortunately the US wants to do things like make cars in the US, but we still have other industries and the top in demand minerals and oil that the US 1000% want. Stop the reaction videos showing you don't understand what's going on. And stop selling off assets to US and China (speaking of mineral mines and oil).

In other words, we desperately need to cut rates to help the economy, affordability and industry... but we can't as we would have out of control inflation when GDP is negative or zero. We can't pay the interest on the debt of the country. And as the liberals keep spending and increasing deficit. Canada is in big trouble. Next quarter isn't going to get better.

So you bring in digital ID, parents "permission" included. Oh look you now have ids and parents getting used to digital ID. Just like everything else in the past. IMO, just let parents parent their kids and online access. There are parental controls on your internet service, to MS/Apple/Google, to apps - already exists. This all does seems like more control for the government. Can imagine the first thing the libs will do is block news for kids other than their CBC because they deem it "missinformation".

@YYC_Confluence Can recommend a Silk & Snow.

@Chansoo @MarkJCarney Mechanically tenderised.... lovely, dont cook those rare.

@cbcwatcher David Cochrane thinks its funny, cringe. 400B sounds like a bargain. Alberta pulls in 75B a year, they estimated they could have been making an additional 20B oil (when it was $65 barrel).

@FoxRoxYourSox @srichgetsrich @niccruzpatane @grok Doesn't qualify, only cars from a country with a free trade agreement. Should qualify for provincial rebates though depending where you live.

@BeachFrmFL Went on a cruise ship this year. Not quite my favorite thing in the end but really appreciated everyone dressing smart for meals in the restaurants. Made it feel a lot more special then today, like it was when I was a kid.

20k of those are new public sector. We are still down over 55k private sector. Spending on non-GDP making things like trains, propping up industries with billions. Deficit increase of 4B+ not reported. Lets hope the next quarter GDP is at least level (note it should be 4%). BoC will also be in big trouble with interest rates, can't reduce, can't up, do nothing is bad. The only way to not have real GDP Per capita drag us down further would (because of higher consumer debt which is likely), would be to increase energy (with a boom oil price of $150 possible)... but we won't, pipeline in 2029??? (not good).

[Gavin Thornton @GMTDev]

@MarkJCarney 20,000 of those are public sector jobs created. Looking at private sector for 2026, we are 55,800 lost. Un-reported deficit spending 4 Billion a month to add too. You need to get a trade deal as you promised in the election.

[Gavin Thornton @GMTDev]

@MarcNixon24 TBF, almost all so far have been Tesla's. Another thing the libs dont want to talk about!

@TedPillows The lowest its been since.... Last Thursday!!! Don't panic.

[Gavin Thornton @GMTDev]

@econan2723 @WhamBaamX You override the cars warning and it slowing you by pressing the accelerator, as you should be able to. Same for pressing the brake.

[Gavin Thornton @GMTDev]

So many questions. So 1 Billion more deficit for 200k smart thermostats, plus "support" for 3500 jobs (what jobs and what does support mean here?). And how does this generate 1.4Billion and over what time? And at $176 per person in BC (thats what 400+ per family)... how is this not a crazy cost to save a few $ a month? And is avoiding upgrading infrastructure really something to boast about?

[Gavin Thornton @GMTDev]

@bruce_mcgonigal Daniel has said in the past, getting a pipeline planned and approved is the goal, even if it doesn't get built for now. At some point the liberal government may be voted out and the pipeline is ready to go.

[Gavin Thornton @GMTDev]

@JennyBGoodX @TheEXECUTlONER_ Or the underwear, not having some other blokes name or brand on me whitey tighties! 🤣
