Today, 18 million Canadians received a GST grocery rebate.

My family pays more GST than the average Canadian, yet we don’t get a dime back.

We’re apparently too “well off” to qualify, but not too well off to keep footing the bill while politicians spend taxpayer money like it’s monopoly money.

Make it make sense.

Not good

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

It's official:

Canada has unexpectedly entered a technical recession for the first time since the pandemic lockdowns in 2020.

Real GDP in Canada fell -0.1% in Q1 2026 following a -1.0% contraction in Q4 2025.

This marks two-straight quarters of GDP contraction for the first time in six years.

Economists had expected Q1 GDP growth of +1.5%, yet the economy suddenly contracted.

The weak GDP data coincides with a weak job market as well, as the Canadian economy is likely to remain under pressure amid ongoing US tariffs.

Meanwhile, the household saving rate fell to 3.5%, reaching its lowest level since the Q1 2024 as spending rose faster than incomes.

Canada is facing a major economic slowdown.

ROCKY III was released 44 years ago today.

During the Thunderlips fight with Hulk Hogan, Hogan accidentally slammed Stallone hard enough to injure his collarbone and his leap into the crowd took out three stuntmen for real.

🇨🇳 China built a 1.22M square metre train station on top of a mountain for $7.8B in just 38 months.

The roof alone weighed 16,500 tonnes.

They assembled it on flat ground, then hydraulically lifted the entire thing 57 metres into the air.

Was there some kind of dramatic discovery of new benefits of hydration in the last ten years? We never carried water bottles around all the time until recently and nobody I know of shriveled up and died of dehydration in all those years.

Uncompetitive, gets worse as income increases.

Come to PEI - you get to pay for the stickers , pay to have your car inspected every year , then drive on shit roads for 6. Months

[Just T.J. the Army Vet @thomas_garrard]

I just paid $263 for two little stickers, that permit me to drive my cars, which I already paid sales tax on, for another year. On roads that I’m taxed to maintain, but are somehow not maintained. I feel violated.
