I’ll only say it once. This might be the fastest way to hit $1 million by the end of 2026:

$ONDS (Ondas) → $9 Strong Buy
$PLTR (Palantir) → $130 Must buy
$ADBE (Adobe) → $208 Must buy
$NVDA (NVIDIA) → $209 Strong Buy
$MSFT (Microsoft) → $396 Must buy
$LCID (Lucid Motors) → $5 Strong Buy
$SOFI (SoFi Technologies) → $17 Strong Buy

I often get asked why I don’t turn this into paid content, but for me, sharing stock information is just a hobby. I’m not financially struggling, so I choose to share it for free.

The day Elon Musk told X advertisers to "go fck yourselves" he was worth $220 billion

Today he's worth $1.1 trillion

Listening to @GadSaad break down Canadian taxes on Sean Hannity… aren’t you just excited to be Canadian??

From January 1st until the end of August, you work for free for the government.

Only starting in September do you finally get to keep what you actually earned.

Provincial tax capped at 25.75%. Federal tax at 33%. Already deep into the 50s before you even spend a dollar.

Then add the double sales tax, carbon tax, gas tax, property tax, and school tax — and you’re left with roughly 30 cents on every dollar you make.

This isn’t “contributing to society.” This is modern serfdom dressed up as compassion.

The same government that wastes billions on ArrivScam, failed apps, and fax machine replacement programs now expects you to hand over eight months of your life every single year.

And they still have the nerve to tell you there’s no money left for actual Canadians.

Wake up. This didn’t happen by accident.

Danielle Smith called out the truth.

Alberta’s wealth has been drained for decades to fund provinces that vote against our interests.

We are not a province in a fair federation.

We are the ATM.

@SusieWiles47 Look forward to it. Good luck with your health.

@nickshirleyy Come to Canada very soon. Stay as long as you want as there is a lot of corruption to expose! Do it.

[Danielle Smith @ABDanielleSmith]

Don Cherry for the Order of Canada? As I told Rick Bell, that's an enthusiastic yes from me.

Let's talk about transparency in First Nations reserve finances in Canada. It's topic that's sparked a lot of debate.

Back in 2013, the Harper government passed the First Nations Financial Transparency Act (FNFTA), which required chiefs and councils to publicly disclose their salaries, expenses, and audited financial statements. The goal? To ensure accountability for the billions in federal funding going to reserves, empowering community members to hold leaders responsible and curb potential corruption.

But the Act was controversial from the start. Critics, including many First Nations leaders (no surprise there), called it paternalistic, imposed without proper consultation, and an infringement on Indigenous sovereignty. Some argued it violated privacy by forcing the public release of sensitive financial details, like personal remuneration schedules.

Enter Justin Trudeau. During his 2015 campaign, he promised to repeal the FNFTA, saying it wasn't "respectful" to First Nations and needed replacement with a co-developed approach. Once in power, his government didn't formally repeal the Act, but effectively reversed it by suspending enforcement. They stopped withholding funds from non-compliant bands, halted court actions, and reinstated frozen money. Compliance rates plummeted afterward, with fewer bands disclosing info publicly.

See the screen shot below. The Siksika Nation, to whom Cory refers to, hasn't dislosed financial data since 2013.

The Liberals' rationale? Building "mutual accountability" through partnership rather than top-down rules, addressing privacy concerns and respecting self-governance. But a decade later, as of 2025, the Act remains on the books unenforced, while polls show most Canadians still want transparency in how reserve funds are mis-managed.

What do you think? Does ditching enforcement help or hinder real accountability?

Well done @Dallas_Brodie, a well informed & much needed slap in the face for all those who call British Columbia their home & rely on her for their livelihoods.

This is a MUST WATCH for ALL Canadians 👇🇨🇦

THE FEDERAL-ALBERTA ENERGY AGREEMENT: ⬇️

Ends the punitive oil and gas emissions cap, enabling energy producers to grow and thrive.

Immediately suspends federal net zero power regulations in Alberta, reducing risks to the electrical grid and opening opportunities for investments in AI, data centers, and applications development.

Provides a clear path for constructing a 1 million+ barrel per day bitumen pipeline to Asian markets, decreasing dependency on a single customer for Canada's most valuable resource.

Allows for adjustments to the tanker ban once the new pipeline to Asia is approved by the major projects office.

Includes amendments enabling companies to advertise their environmental leadership and efforts globally without fear of penalties.

Positions Alberta as a world leader in developing and implementing emissions reduction infrastructure, particularly carbon capture, utilization, and storage.

Demonstrates that emissions reduction can be achieved without capping productivity, growth, or innovation in oil and gas development.

Dear Prime Minister,

You snuck out the back door of the House mid-Question Period to dodge a debate with me on pipelines.

Then you dodged the emergency debate on softwood lumber.

Your schedule is open for Question Period today. You’re in Ottawa. Show up for work. Be accountable. Stop hiding.

2:15 PM. Parliament. See you there.
