Give a poor person $2,000, and it's instantly recirculated into the economy when they need to buy necessities.

Give a large company $2,000, and they'll store it offshore, say they have no more money, and ask for another $2,000.

Hey Toronto 👋

Did you know if you’re a dog owner, you should carry NARCAN?

There’s so much fentanyl on Toronto streets that dogs regularly OD. They don’t have to eat a lot, traces are enough.

What-the-actual-f**k? Literally every politician in this city has got to go.

Funny story. Few months ago, I said 🇨🇦’s repo volumes signal crisis.

BoC told a journalist I misunderstood, it’s a technical change.

Fast forward. BoC cited hedge funds buying 40% of Gov debt as systemic threat.

… financed via repos… secured by gov debt… to buy gov debt.

tl;dr 🇬🇧’s social media ban.

2014: oh crap, the public learned GLASSBACK, PHOTON TORPEDO, & SPRING-BISHOP exist.

2020: …they really didn’t care about illegal IP surveillance to undermine democracy, eh?

2026: everyone must give their ID to use the internet… for the kids.

Today’s most disturbing economic read goes to 🇨🇦’s Lee Valley.

The renowned toolmaker is seeing:
- soaring input costs, i.e. tungsten carbide +600% since Jan
- shrinking consumer budgets

Not great. 😬

PS every Canadian dad wants something from @LeeValleyTools for Father’s Day.

A lot of people of think the RAM crisis is because of AI. It’s not.

It’s Apple’s Calculator app in OSX.

[Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️ @StephenPunwasi]

lmao. Facebook’s down because…

*drumroll*

… they didn’t lint the program that sends its json, and now its malformed.

Another classic from the golden age of AI slop code.

Trump says 🇺🇸 doesn’t need 🇨🇦 for anything.

The U.S. Federal Reserve disagrees, 72% of 🇨🇦’s exports are to feed 🇺🇸.

TL;DR 🇨🇦’s about to grab em by the Prairies.

🇨🇦: Toronto police officer charged w/sexual assault of a child, “careless handling of a firearm.”

When TPS says it needs a budget increase for hiring…

… it’s because over 1 in 150 officers are currently suspended, most facing criminal charges.

🇨🇦: Ontario’s hilarious. The gov rams through legislation to loot taxpayer assets on a whim.

Meanwhile, its update to Consumer Protection Laws have been sitting in “consultation” since Dec 2023.

He’s basically confirming 🇨🇦 was in a recession since 2020. It masked declining quality of life by adding more economic units.

It doesn’t matter that the human capital stock is doing worse, they just need to consume food & shelter to boost GDP.

Also “lowered” debt averages.

🇨🇦: Windsor man convicted of using a fleet of submarines to smuggle drugs across the Detroit river.

*a few years later*

He’s arrested in connection with a shooting in Vaughan. This is the hardest person named Glen ever.

[Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️ @StephenPunwasi]

I can’t believe Canada Post cost taxpayers $205m!

That’s half as much as the mismanaged funds the auditor general found at the gov’s SDTC fund.

You know the one with 186 conflicts of interests? Deadlocked parliament, gov dissolved to avoid disclosing, re-elected anyway? Lmao.

🇨🇦 govs: We should host the World Cup.

Toronto & Vancouver residents: how is this a priority?

*earlier*

[Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️ @StephenPunwasi]

🇨🇦: tl;dr Toronto airports

- YYZ: passengers unwittingly smuggle drugs, staff swaps bags +5yrs

- YHM: ex-CEO offered bail for fent trafficking “mobster”

- YTZ: ON Gov just expropriated land to expand int flights. The Star just learned it’s owned by JPM, but…

<Thread> 🧵👇

🇨🇦: Kingston Dairy Queen kills a kid by serving a regular Dilly Bar as “vegan.”

Dairy-free bars are factory made in special wrappers for safety. Customers don’t know that, but if I do—staff did.

If they really did mislead, charge them w/manslaughter.

It’s okay to leave. There’s a lot of opportunity out there.

It’s okay to stay and fight. It’s hard to watch elites destroy the things you love.

It’s not okay to be apathetic & facilitate the people looting your future because you’re too scared of any other option.

[Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️ @StephenPunwasi]

🇨🇦: Fun fact. Ontario spends 1 in 14 dollars of revenue on interest payments—more than it spends on post-secondary.

The current gov grew the debt pile 43%, most outside the pandemic.

ON’s debt cost ceiling presented just 2 months ago? The benchmark yield is already higher.

[Stephen Punwasi 🏚️📉🐈☃️ @StephenPunwasi]

🇨🇦’s Gov (4 months later): pretends to be shocked that organized crime infiltrated its airports…

… despite this being a consistent problem for years.
