Donald Trump spent the week deriding Canada and its leadership while threatening 50 percent tariffs from 19 August. Mark Carney answered with arithmetic instead of insults, saying the transformation of the Canadian economy was just beginning to show up in the numbers.

Canada is creating jobs at twice the rate of the United States, he said, and pulling in foreign direct investment at twice the rate of its nearest G7 competitor, which happens to be the United States. Growth is picking up this quarter, and business investment is finally moving too.

The markets have been saying something similar for a while. Toronto closed 2025 almost 29 percent higher, its best year since 2009, and is up 30 percent over the past twelve months against 20 percent for the S&P 500.

“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk.”

- Søren Kierkegaard

Søren Kierkegaard wrote these words in an 1847 letter to his ailing sister-in-law, emphasizing that walking was essential not only for physical health but also for mental clarity. The Danish philosopher, who was known for his daily walks through the streets of Copenhagen, believed that constant movement was one of the best remedies for existential anxiety and mental stagnation.

By saying he could walk away from even his heaviest thoughts, Kierkegaard portrayed walking as more than a simple distraction. He saw it as a powerful way to work through grief, anxiety, and life’s most difficult questions. His words remain a timeless reminder that physical movement can inspire emotional and intellectual progress, while remaining still can leave us feeling trapped.

ICYMI: Ford's gravy plane money came from the Ministry of Natural Resources budget.

Despite saying he was ordering new waterbombers, he's never budgeted for them.

In fact, he cut $42M from MNR last year.

We aren't angry enough.

One of the most jarring things about adulthood is the realization of how many truly incompetent people are in the most important jobs. When I was a kid, I just assumed everyone “important” was smart or they wouldn’t be important. Boy, was that fucking wrong.

In 2020, the world fell silent.

Cities emptied. Borders closed. Families were separated. Millions of people found themselves alone, wondering when life would ever feel normal again.

While much of the world searched for hope, one of Hollywood's most beloved actors quietly picked up his phone.

Sam Neill wasn't promoting a movie.

He wasn't chasing headlines.

Instead, he walked out onto his farm in New Zealand and invited the world to spend a few peaceful minutes with him.

He introduced everyone to Peggy the duck, who quickly became an internet favorite. Charlie Pickering waddled around the farm as if he owned the place. Helena Bonham Carter grazed peacefully in the fields, while Jeff Goldblum the ram and Michael Fassbender the rooster added their own unique personalities. There was even Bryce Dallas Howard, his rescue chicken, who became known as his loyal "guard chicken."

The names made people laugh.

The moments made them stay.

There were no scripts.

No expensive cameras.

No carefully planned productions.

Just Sam talking to his animals, reading poetry, sharing stories, singing the occasional song, and reminding millions that even during the darkest days, life could still be beautiful.

For people trapped inside their homes, those simple videos became something to look forward to.

A few minutes of calm.

A few minutes of laughter.

A few minutes where the world didn't feel quite so heavy.

Years later, Sam Neill revealed that he had been diagnosed with stage 3 blood cancer.

During treatment, he wrote his memoir and spoke openly about what mattered most.

It wasn't fame.

It wasn't awards.

It was his family.

His friends.

His vineyard.

His animals.

And the simple privilege of waking up to another ordinary day.

The man who spent decades helping audiences escape through unforgettable films ended up creating one of his most meaningful performances without ever stepping onto a movie set.

He simply opened the gate to his farm, introduced the world to his animals, and reminded millions that hope doesn't always arrive with grand gestures
