I left Canada when most of the population voted in liberals multiple times. When I got yelled at for getting in an elevator without a mask. When I wasn’t allowed to go buy groceries without a vaccine card. When my neighbors called the police on us for inviting family over. After I got harassed by a homeless man on the subway with my 2 year old and nobody stepped in. After areas in downtown Toronto (where I lived) were taken over by tents and addicts. After I was told there was a 2 year waiting list for an ankle replacement when I couldn’t walk. After I had to find a surgeon out of country. After I’d spent days waiting in emergency for subpar “health care”.
It’s not just the government. It’s the people in Canada too. And no, not all of them, but in Toronto? In Quebec? A lot of them. And it’s getting worse not better.
I miss Canada. I miss old Canada. I miss old Toronto pre-2016. But it wasn’t just the government that wrecked it. It was the entitled, naive people living there that brought it on.
I feel terrible for Canadians (especially Albertans) that can’t pick up and leave but I’m sure as hell not going back until it doesn’t feel like a 3rd world country full of people who hate people like me.
Rising bond yields are the market's way of telling the U.S. government it has a debt problem that needs to be solved before a crisis hits. Just as pain lets you know there is a medical problem that needs attention, if you simply numb the pain so you don't have to feel it, the underlying condition gets worse. If it gets bad enough, it can be fatal. Numbing the pain is precisely what the Trump administration is trying to do now with Operation Twist. As a result, the eventual sovereign debt crisis may be fatal for the dollar and the U.S. economy.
Because Trump decided to hit Americans with 50% tariffs on certain goods they buy from Canada, Carney retaliated by hitting Canadians with tariffs of 50, 25, and 15 percent on roughly 700 U.S. products. This may be good politics for Carney, but it's bad economics for Canada.
“A society that puts equality before freedom will get neither. A society that puts freedom before equality will get a high degree of both.”

Islamic scholar states:
“If you’re a rapist, a child abuser, a murderer, a terrorist, or a drug dealer, but you’re a Muslim and pray, then you’re morally superior in the eyes of Allah to an infidel who’s never committed any crime.”
What kind of sick, twisted mentality is this?!
Bitcoin pumpers are trying to hitch Bitcoin to the AI wagon, hoping investors will see it as part of the AI trade. They have it backwards. AI isn’t bullish for Bitcoin; it’s a threat to it.
AI competes with Bitcoin for speculative capital, electricity, and data-center infrastructure. Plus, as AI becomes more powerful, it could discover vulnerabilities in Bitcoin’s code, cryptography, wallets, or network that humans have missed. Bitcoin’s security and protocol-enforced scarcity ultimately depend on software remaining secure.
Our national debt has reached $40 trillion and interest payments are now $1.3 trillion per year.
Interest payments consume 42% of all corporate and individual income taxes before any other program is funded. We borrow $2 trillion per year in additional debt to keep the lights on.
Now the Treasury is being forced to manipulate interest rates from going higher. The average interest rate on the $40 trillion is currently about 3.3%. As those older treasury bonds mature and get rolled over at nearly 5%, the overall interest expense for the govt will rise from $1.3 trillion per year to $2 trillion per year (and beyond).
You can quickly see how this cycle in interest payments on the national debt could swallow most of the US govt budget.
Meanwhile, Congress is making zero effort to cut spending.
Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent said the free market is mispricing long-term bond yields. So he wants to use the superior judgment and power of central government planners to correct the mistakes of capitalism. Good thing we didn't elect a Democratic Socialist president.
‼️ BREAKING: armed criminals break into home.
Force family into basement.
Criminals shoot the son of homeowner.
Homeowner fights back. Takes gun.
Shoots & chases out criminals.
HE GOT CHARGED!
THE CROWN WANTED HIM TO DO MORE TIME.
This is peak insanity.
CASTLE LAW!
Healthcare is not free.
Nor is it immediately accessible.
It is rationed.
The Fraser Institute found that the average Canadian family, pays 25% of their total income taxes, over $21,000/yr, towards public healthcare.
Meanwhile, 74,000 Canadians have died while on waitlists
It's amazing how ignorant Trump is of basic economics. If the free market set interest rates instead of the Fed, the U.S. would pay much higher rates than it does today. Switzerland has lower interest rates than the U.S. because the Swiss save and their government barely borrows.
It was great to finally have someone admit the truth: climate doomerism is about one world government, ending democracy and impoverishing the world.
The idea that we must impoverish humanity to save it is not just absurd, it's a suicide pact. Sovereign nations will never accept it, and people will never vote for it.
I don't believe in suicide for token gestures towards not solving a problem you're claiming to solve.
When we filmed the Debt clock for Hidden Secrets of Money, it was actually at 14 trillion. We adjusted it in post to reflect the current number when Episode 4 was published. We just crossed 40 trillion. Best of luck everyone.
There is no hormonal or blood test to prove the existence of postpartum depression.
Depression is mostly a moral issue.
It happens when you are either corrupt or surrounded by corrupt and malevolent people - or both.
It is the soul's desperate cry for the clean air of virtue.
I noticed Wikipedia is asking for donations. Never donate anything to Wikipedia. The world would be a better place if Wikipedia didn't exist. It's a highly biased propaganda arm of the radical left, spreading disinformation and fake news to advance a far-left political agenda.
Anthony Fauci took the Fifth 111 times before Congress.
Hours later, the Senate committee voted to hold him in contempt.
Then his wife, one of America's most powerful bioethicists, flipped off a photographer.
You couldn't script the Fauci era better. 🧵
