So let me get this straight...
Canada is in a recessionâthe 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 optimismâor a sign that many Canadians aren't getting the full economic story from the news they consume.
More headlines without deadlines today from Liberals on LNG.
To get gas to Europe, Liberals need to do two things:
1. Get out of the way.
2. Take a geography lesson.

Elon Musk just described how the entire government operates in a single sentence.
Musk: âPaying people to do nothing doesnât make sense.â
Then he told a Milton Friedman story that should terrify every bureaucrat on the payroll.
Friedman watched workers digging ditches with shovels.
He suggested they use excavators instead.
Someone pushed back.
âBut then weâre going to lose a lot of jobs.â
Musk: âFriedman says, well, in that case, why donât you have them use teaspoons?â
One sentence.
Thatâs all it took to gut the entire logic of modern government.
The teaspoon is not a punchline.
It is the actual policy.
Every agency that would cease to exist if it actually solved the problem it was created for.
Every department that measures success by headcount instead of output.
Every approval that routes through nine desks before someone can say yes.
Teaspoons.
The system doesnât want excavators.
Excavators finish the job.
And a finished job is the one thing the system canât afford.
So it hands you a teaspoon. Calls it a career. Gives you a pension for never asking why the ditch took forty years.
But this isnât about laziness.
Itâs about control.
A person digging with a teaspoon doesnât have time to build something better.
Doesnât have the energy to question the plan.
Doesnât have a thought left to ask if the ditch even needed digging.
Busy people donât ask dangerous questions.
Thatâs the point.
The economy doesnât run on productivity.
It runs on the appearance of productivity.
Millions of people sit at desks right now doing work a single script could replace by morning.
They know it.
Their managers know it.
The people who sign their budgets know it.
But the teaspoon stays in their hand.
Because the moment you hand someone an excavator, they finish by noon.
And a person with a free afternoon starts thinking. Starts building. Starts wondering why they needed permission to dig in the first place.
Thatâs the thing the system canât survive.
Not unemployment.
Free time.
Musk didnât tell a joke on Rogan.
He described the longest con in modern governance.
Keep them digging.
Keep them busy.
Keep the teaspoon in their hand so they never look up long enough to see the ditch was pointless from the start.
Friedman told that story sixty years ago.
He meant it as a warning.
The system heard every word.
It just made sure everyone kept calling it a joke so no one would recognize it as a confession.
