The Canada Pension Plan (CPP) has over 2,000 employees.
Top 5 managers, make more than $5 million per year.
They have never beaten the market.
Nevada has 1 guy. Who invests in ETFs.
Does nothing. All day.
And he outperforms the CPP.
Consistently.
For further context, if CPP invested in QQQ, for the last 10 years, instead of $800 billion in assets, we would have $2.4 Trillion.
VOO would put it at $1.6 trillion.
Lesson: The government will never outperform the market.
So don’t think the Sovereign Debt Fund will be any different.
I will take absolutely no lectures about "divisiveness" from the people who gave us two-tier policing, racial hiring quotas and endless race-baiting.
Unlike you, we do not kneel.
It is difficult to imagine an American who has been a greater parasite on the public coffers than @BernieSanders. He has contributed NOTHING to the United States other than decades of cantankerous and sullen envy-fuelled anger at those who create.
The chief of cardiac surgery at the Jewish General Hospital has tendered his resignation and plans to move to Atlanta in September, citing rising antisemitism in Montreal and worsening problems with the province’s health-care system. https://t.co/1wtSJBpVWT
If I were to share with you the astounding punitive and confiscatory taxes that were levied on me (from both the provincial and federal governments) for an error that was made out of ignorance, it would leave you speechless. I'll say more in due time but the tax authorities are truly a mixture of the worst imaginable Orwellian and Kafkaesque monster. They are robbing us blind. USA, here we come! God bless the United States, the last land of the free.
Britain had a moment of silence for George Floyd. Our politicians kneeled en masse to show their outrage at his killing. "I can't breathe" became a slogan.
George Floyd died on the other side of the world. He wasn't British.
Henry Nowak *was* British and his treatment by the police was shocking and negligent in the extreme. Yet there is no minute of silence. There is no coordinated public campaign. There is no kneeling at sporting events.
And we all know why.
During the summer of BLM, some people said "All Lives Matter". This was treated as the highest form of racism and anyone who said this was immediately cancelled. Why? Because the people in charge don't actually think all lives matter in the same way.
They have created a racial hierarchy of victimhood where a career criminal who died through mistreatment by police in a foreign country with 0 evidence of racism like George Floyd is automatically sanctified because of the colour of his skin.
And Henry Nowak, a British man, one of ours, is automatically dismissed and ignored because of the colour of his.
This is the ugly fruit of so-called "anti-racism", an obsession with race that has created a two-tier society which treats people differently because of the colour of their skin.
This needs to stop.
Still struggling so much with Claude Lemieux’s death. He was someone I talked about with about the game and the business of the game. I loved our conversations because I learned so much. Over the past year he had mentioned to me his desire maybe to run a team one day. He would have been a great GM. He actually talked to me about throwing his hat in the Maple Leafs opening. He didn’t. I talked to him just a few weeks ago. I was so happy for him he carried the torch in Montreal before Game 3. I’m still in shock. Still coming to grips with it.
Jacob Misiorowski has struck out 57 batters in his last 6 games while allowing a total of only 1 run and 14 hits. I know that sounds impossible but it's true.
No one has ever hit those marks before in any 6-game span in all of MLB history because of course they haven't.
So, some of my friends in the Great North are unamused by this stat and/or me. I just think it's crazy odd. Second oddest sports factoid behind this one: Only one franchise has ever drafted two NFL HOF quartebacks in one draft: The Kansas City Royals in 1979.
In 2016, 70-year-old Lawrence Ripple robbed a bank in Kansas because he said he would rather go to prison than go home to his wife.
He handed the teller a note demanding cash and warning that he had a gun. The teller gave him $2,924.
But Ripple did not run. He walked to the lobby, sat down, and waited for police. When officers arrived, he told them he was the man they were looking for.
Ripple later said he had argued with his wife and decided prison sounded better than going back home.
Instead, the judge sentenced him to six months of house arrest.
It's official. The Montreal Canadiens are out of the playoffs and my favorite stat holds for another year. A U.S. team has won the Canadian Football League's Grey Cup (Baltimore Stallions, 1995) more recently than a Canadian team has won the NHL's Stanley Cup (Montreal, 1993).

Now, who is the biggest threat to the world, again?
Classic 1980s debate moment.
A woman in hijab passionately challenges Rabbi Meir Kahane: “How can you have no compassion for the Arab people?” invoking Hitler and Palestinian suffering.
Kahane’s calm, piercing response cuts through:
“You had an opportunity for your own state in 1948. The UN proposed partition plan which would have created a Palestine and an Israel. You went to war. You killed 6,000 of our people. ’56, another war. ’67, another war. ’73, another war. I don’t trust you. I don’t believe you. When I’m attacked and I win and you lose, and you’re the one that started it, learn one thing… you take the consequences of your actions.”
Raw, unfiltered truth about repeated rejection of peace and the cost of starting wars.
No slogans. Just history.
Powerful then. Powerful now.
@MarkJCarney These values also include hanging dead Jew effigies in downtown montreal atop the assaults shootings vandalism and intimidation tactics in Jewish communities.
Dear @EvanLSolomon, your empty words are so uplifting. Thank you for uttering vacuous platitudinous BS as my family flees Canada because of Jew-hatred.
