You don’t have to love Elon Musk to recognize what this headline says about us.

A country that spends more time criticizing wealth creation than encouraging it sends a clear message to builders: your success is tolerated, not celebrated.

Canada should be the best place in the world to build ambitious companies. Headlines like this make us look like we’re not quite ready for that.

Brookfield is a member of the UAE Business Council.

This investment meeting happened inside the Prime Minister’s Office.

True story

[The Food Professor @FoodProfessor]

Oddly, and yet again, no reporter appears to have asked where the government's $3.2 billion food security strategy funding will actually come from.

How much is new money? How much is recycled funding? How much is financed through existing agencies like FCC?

In Japan, a stabbing scene works differently. Let me describe it without pride.

A koban officer reaching a knife incident has one trained reflex: secure the blade, secure the bleeding.
Who insulted whom is a question for detectives, tomorrow, at the station.
The wounded man is not yet a suspect or a victim. He is a casualty.

We have our own police failures — plenty of them.
But I cannot imagine a Japanese officer telling a dying man "don't think you've been stabbed, mate" because the other party raised a social accusation first.

Not because our officers are better people.
Because nobody trained them to rank grievances at a crime scene.

Training is a choice.
Who made Britain's?

Canada Dental Care Plan will go billions over budget for years to come, says @GovCanHealth. Patient fees will cost taxpayers $18 billion over 5 years, a third more than cabinet’s original estimate of $13 billion.

Dominic LeBlanc this morning "Thanks to the Eurasia Group and the Royal bank of Canada, I have some longtime friends that are very active at the Eurasia Group."

Longtime friends that the media always fails to point out like Mark Carney's wife, Diana Fox Carney, Gerry Butts, and Evan Solomon... and that the Eurasia group has gotten millions in untendered contracts from the Liberals

But what is fair CBC disclosure anyway? @brodiefenlon

[wealthmoose @wealthmoose]

🇨🇦 Mark Carney’s government wants to know your location, your metadata, and your digital history.

They won’t tell you how they spent $120B in foreign aid.

They won’t tell you what Carney discussed at Brookfield.

They won’t sit in the House of Commons and answer questions.
Maximum surveillance.

Zero accountability.🚨

That’s not a democracy. That’s an inversion of one.

Dynan, plombier irlandais qui a participé aux manifestations : "personne ne veut de la violence, la raison pour laquelle nous sommes dans la rue, c'est à cause de la violence, pas pour être violent. Les gens connaissent la vérité grâce aux réseaux sociaux, X, ce genre de choses, malheureusement les grands médias n'en parlent pas, et cela ne fait qu'accentuer la frustration, si les grands médias disaient la vérité , nous n'aurions pas besoin de descendre dans la rue."

If you think the guy on the left should have gone to jail and that the guy on the right should be walking free, you either have no regard for the facts or just have a deep-seeded hatred of white people.

Remember when a man beheaded passenger on a Greyhound bus, in Canada?

I do.

Then he ATE his victim.

Tamara Lich spent more time in jail than he did.

A brutal testimony of how far Canada has fallen.

Honk! Honk!

As a Japanese watching the UK right now, I have one simple question.

A Sudanese asylum seeker just tried to behead a local man in Belfast. The victim lost an eye.

This comes after years of grooming gangs raping thousands of British girls — gangs that police and councils deliberately ignored because they were afraid of being called racist.

In Japan, even one case like this would have triggered national outrage and immediate policy reversal.

But in Britain, the conversation is still about “not being far-right.”

British people, at what point does protecting your own children become more important than protecting your reputation?

We genuinely do not understand this.

🚨 Canada’s institutional capture is now complete.

Since 2015 the Liberals have appointed:

⚖️ 740 of 1,000 federal judges
🏛️ 7 of 9 Supreme Court justices
📜 100 of 105 senators
📰 Fund 30% of every reporter’s salary in Canada

And that’s just the foundation.

Add to that:

📺 CBC: $1.4B annually to defend the Liberal narrative

🏦 Bank of Canada: Redefining recession in real time

📊 StatsCan: Counting Census workers as permanent jobs

📬 Senate: Hiding 240,000 democratic postcards in a warehouse

🌐 Bill C-8: MPs can delete you from the internet without a judge

🎙️ Carney on tape: Admitting central bankers bypassed voters on ESG

They control the courts.
They control the Senate.
They control the Supreme Court.
They control the media funding.
They control the state broadcaster.

Now they want to control the internet.
Not one institution left standing independently.

This is not democracy.
This is managed decline with Canadian characteristics.

And most Canadians are still waiting for CBC to tell them about it.

Just returned from the U.S. Not a word about Trump. Not a word about CUSMA. Not a word about Canada.

They simply don't care.

Yet many Canadians seem convinced that a Republican loss in the midterms would be a game changer.

Maybe.

But I wouldn't count on it. Even if Democrats reclaim Congress, there's no guarantee U.S. trade policy toward Canada would change in any meaningful way. The Obama and Biden years were difficult for our farmers and agri-food sector. More predictable, but difficult.

America is focused on America.

Need I remind people, Japan already told PM Carney, and Toyota already told Premier Ford, that without the USMCA Japanese manufacturers and corporations will exit Canada permanently.

[Bjorn Lomborg @BjornLomborg]

A new WHO climate report exaggerates heat deaths while hiding that cold deaths have fallen by roughly 250× more than heat deaths have risen.

That’s not science — it’s the suppression of inconvenient data to manufacture a crisis.

After Carney appointed Omar Alghabra to a new antisemitism advisory council, Pierre Poilievre: “I remember Mr. Alghabra lobbying me before he was in politics to keep Hezbollah legal, so I’m not sure that he’s the right guy to combat antisemitism.”
