@DanKnightMMA Where's the mainstream media? Oh, right. Never mind. Their allegiance has been bought and paid for.

@CodeWithNayeem When are these changes/upgrades going live in Canada?

@theJagmeetSingh Practice what you preach. Pull the plug on Trudeau. Stop propping him and the Fiberals up.
No confidence vote now

@WallStreetSilv This isn't much different from other generations at the moment. In my experience, she's one of the minority of Gen Z'ers. The majority I come across are whiny, spoiled little brats that have Mommy and Daddy buy them anything they want, so they don't have to work.

@theJagmeetSingh Stop propping Trudeau and his gaggle of misfits, and call for a non-confidence vote.
Arguing against what you're supporting is hypocrisy.

@BirdsCanada_ON @FLAPCanada I'm thinking larger birds, like birds of prey: from hawks up to 7ft wingspan eagles. You sure don't hear much about them crashing into windows

@BirdsCanada_ON @FLAPCanada Do you have similar maps with bird strikes by those huge windmill towers??

NOAA’s new winter outlook showing a mild winter across the northern US likely southern Canada. Also drier than normal indicating less than normal snowfall. Nothing set in stone but this is what you would expect in a stronger El Niño"

NOAA’s new winter outlook showing a mild winter across the northern US and you would assume southern Canada. Also drier than normal which would indicate less than normal snowfall. Nothing set in stone but this is what you would expect in a stronger El Niño episode.

First learned about this in 1984 Troughs move thru NE and big surface highs get into the northwest atlantic while negatives are left behind under the big upper ridge. A week ago, models had nothing developing, just the pattern that would do it,

@flyingdutchwx @CTVNews Yeah. That's a hard pass! No thanks, Justin.

@dave_sills Hey Dave. Check out https://t.co/YLN5JHiIUr or "zoom earth" app in the Google play store. I haven't checked but it's likely available for ios too.

I think this will do exactly what you're asking for

@erniehardeman Oh, and is there a limit on the number of photos per person that can be submitted?

[Harry Schut Photos 📷 @HarrySchutPhoto]

@erniehardeman I trust there's some sort of contract containing terms of use, intellectual property statement, how many times will it be used and what it's being used for.

Well, well, well, here we are again, folks. Canada is feeling the economic crunch, and it's not looking too good for the average Canadian. The latest numbers reveal an unemployment rate of 5.5% for July 2023. A minor uptick, you say? Well, let's dive deeper, shall we?

So here's the lowdown: The Bank of Canada (BoC) cranked up the interest rates to a whopping 5% on July 12, 2023, all thanks to record-breaking inflation. Sounds like good economics, right? Well, hold your horses, because this sudden move is starting to squeeze the life out of businesses and, more importantly, out of hard-working Canadians.

These hefty interest rates increase the cost of borrowing. Businesses are finding it hard to expand and hire new people. Remember, when businesses can't grow, they can't create jobs. At the same time, Canadians, laden with these unjustifiably high-interest payments, are forced to tighten their belts. The domino effect? Businesses start feeling the burn with lower revenues, and layoffs become inevitable. It's like a never-ending cycle of despair.

Now, the real kicker here is the housing market. Despite economic turbulence, house prices in Canada are soaring through the roof, and the BoC seems to love it. They say that this unexpected strength in the housing market will continue to keep inflation high - up by 0.3 percentage points by the end of 2023.

But let's not sugarcoat this; it's a double-edged sword. Sure, homeowners might feel a little richer seeing the value of their homes increase, but don't be fooled. These skyrocketing house prices are only pushing inflation through the roof, making interest rates even higher and turning the lives of borrowers into a living nightmare.

This situation clearly illustrates a disheartening reality: the federal government is failing the Canadian people. While they're engaged in self-congratulatory back-patting over what they believe is taming the ferocious beast of inflation, they are, in reality, just tightening the vise on everyday, hard-working Canadians.

Our Finance Minister, Chrystia Freeland, may boast on Twitter about how “Canada’s plan to bring down inflation is working,” as she did on July 19, 2023. Yet, all the while, interest rates are scraping the sky, and many Canadians are finding themselves without a roof over their heads. This is the victory she's celebrating?

Amidst this ostensible celebration, the disheartening report that Canada unexpectedly lost 6,400 jobs in July 2023 appears to have been conveniently overlooked. These aren't abstract figures we're talking about; these are 6,400 hard-working Canadians who've been left without a paddle in the tumultuous sea of this economy. The vice-like grip of high-interest rates is evidently not a part of the government's triumphant narrative.

And let's not forget about the middle-class Canadians who are still managing to keep their homes but are barely scraping by, living paycheck to paycheck, buried under the crushing weight of high-interest payments.

So here's the bottom line: inflation may be down on paper, but in real life, the cost is painfully high. People are losing jobs, homes are increasingly unaffordable, and the livelihoods of hard-working Canadians are at stake. The government's supposed victory seems detached from the struggles and lived realities of its people.

The current state of affairs necessitates more than just a game plan on paper. It demands a government that takes concrete actions to safeguard its citizens from these crippling economic pressures, not one that idly watches from the bleachers while Canadians grapple with their financial realities.

It's time the government realizes that taming inflation isn't a victory if it translates into job losses and financial strain for its people. It's not about bringing down numbers on a chart; it's about improving lives. The real challenge is making the economy work for all Canadians, not just those at the top. It's clear the government needs to reassess its priorities and do a better job of protecting its people from these economic onslaughts. The Canadian labor force deserves more than hollow Twitter victories; it deserves a government that is genuinely committed to its wellbeing.
