@mario4thenorth I deal in this daily. People are choosing to leave despite departure tax. In many cases, the long-term the benefits far outweigh the immediate cost.

@KeithMcCullough Short bitcoin and anything MSTR has been incredible.

Crypto Tracker is the best value going. Bitcoin hovering around the TRR for the last few days was like a giant buck posing for you!

Today is a dark day in Canadian history.

The House has passed Bill C-9—an assault on religious freedom that removes longstanding protections for Canadians expressing sincerely held beliefs.

Conservatives fought this bill every step of the way—and we will keep fighting until religious freedom is restored.

[Brad Redekopp @BradRedekopp]

Sadly, Bill C-9 has passed.

The only amendment was to add the noose as a hate symbol. Nothing was added to protect freedom of religion or good-faith religious expression.

Bill C-9 is not a serious effort to combat hate. It is a tool to enforce Liberal DEI ideology while leaving fundamental freedoms dangerously exposed.

Yeah, it’s fine. Eliminating backyard pools would save a lot more lives than the endless crusade to get another 3 percent of kids measles shots, but the Times isn’t writing ad nauseam about the horrors of pools, and we’d all wonder why it was if it did

The UAE is building a ~1.4MM Bbl/d, 370km pipeline costing ~$4BN USD, started in 2025 and onstream in 2027. Canada aims to potentially build a 1MM Bbl/d pipeline, to cost ~$40BN, take 8+years, and is tying it to an obsolete/costly $30BN Pathways project. See the difference???

[James Avery @Javes35]

@ericnuttall As a cross border CPA, I am constantly getting asked how people can leave Canada.

It’s only going to get worse when all our talented people AND the capital has left the country.

[Eric Nuttall @ericnuttall]

If the cost of a new 1MM Bbl/d pipeline is Pathways, a $30BN project conceived in a vastly different world that erodes our competitiveness, then I say nay. It took me 4 hours to get my 6 year old an ankle x-ray last night...we do not have to live like this, yet choose to. Sad.

@b50 So bad. Quit halfway through episode 3.

[James Avery @Javes35]

@SoloTv84 Season 2 is bad. I quit watching about half way through episode 3

Youth sports is on life support.

If you think it’s fine, you’re not paying attention.

Kids age 10-12 are playing way too many tournaments and travel ball. Parents treat it like the World Series. They need less travel, more rest, fueling, and actual development. They’re 12 YO.

The data backs it up:
❌70% of kids drop out of organized sports by age 13.
❌Professionalization (year-round single-sport focus, heavy travel/tournaments) drives overuse injuries, overtraining, and burnout.
❌Nearly 1 in 10 youth athletes experience burnout; up to 35% deal with overtraining.
❌Early specialization before 12-13 raises injury and burnout risks significantly.

Multi-sport kids who rest and play for fun stick around longer and develop better.

Let them be kids. Prioritize recovery, fun, and long-term health over trophies. The best athletes often sample multiple sports early and specialize later.

Who else sees this?

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

According to this, 30 percent of 7 year olds have a smart phone. By 11, over 60 percent have one. This is total madness. If you’re giving a smart phone to your 7 year old, you’re a moron, an incompetent parent, and when your kid turns into a screen addled zombie with no personality or goals in life, it will be your fault completely, you absolute dumbass.

My 21 year-old son has been back living at home for 4 months now, because he's doing a work term at a local engineering firm.

Last night he didn't get home until 9:00 pm, and this morning he's leaving for work early.

He has a project deadline, and he's working to make sure he meets it. He's salaried, and he doesn't get paid OT. Even if he was paid OT, it's not what motivates him to get things done. I was the same way all my working career.

The difference is that over the long term, my extra effort was rewarded, whereas I don't think his will be.

I'm not going to tell him that, because it's an admirable character trait to have, and it will serve him well. What I will tell him, is that he's better suited for a job almost anywhere in the World except here.

Hard work and ambition are not valued in Canada.

[James Avery @Javes35]

@MasterHuzzah Nice! Commit and stick to it. My son’s are 4-5 and still screen free. It’s effort sometimes but worth it.

[David Doel @daviddoel]

Is there one example where privatizing a public asset has turned out to be beneficial for Canadians as a whole?

Between Petro-Canada, Air Canada, Highway 407, Hydro One, all I see are regrets.

[GenXHockeyMom🇨🇦 @CanadaMom73]

@ryangerritsen @Sheilaanne2191 They need to stop telling us what we’re allowed & not allowed to do. Were adults & make decisions for our kids. They’re not our bosses or Kings. They work for us & are supposed to make sure we have a stable country, good borders, proper army, etc that’s it, not all this other 💩

Now do COVID you:

1 - You invented an asymptomatic disease.
2 - you convinced people without symptoms to get tested
3 - you used an ineffective test to scare people into believing they were sick
4 - you made them quarantine
5 - you banned doctors from actually trying medication in off-label ways
6 - you promoted an untested, unproven, experimental gene therapy
7 - you administered a drug without obtaining proper consent from your patients
8 - you supressed the data when it showed that the vaccines were harfull

You are the perfect example of why Canadians don't trust their doctors anymore.

Fuck right off.

[James Avery @Javes35]

@KeithMcCullough Their arrogance is disgusting.

The fourth turning.

[James Avery @Javes35]

@CONZF1 @BillboardChris Deficit funded tax cuts is not fiscally conservative.

[Eric Nuttall @ericnuttall]

Politicians who use terms like "futureproofing" and "social license" display a dangerous level of energy ignorance. The world is begging for more Canadian energy and not a single purchaser cares about a barrels carbon footprint. Time to move on from economic self-flagellation!!!
