Of all the industries to subsidize, real estate developers should be somewhere near the bottom of the list, next to the owners of gambling websites and vape shops.

@GadSaad Great book! Shabbat shalom to you and yours.

[Tristin Hopper @TristinHopper]

I would have more trust in Carney if I legitimately thought he was just a cynical weathervane interested only in power. But his constant efforts to control speech and mute opposition speak to far darker motives.

[Gad Saad @GadSaad]

I decide to leave Quebec/Canada because:

1) the taxation system is astounding, rendering it nearly impossible to accumulate enough money to truly retire
2) the government's open immigration policies have made it unsafe for my family to remain here (due to the exponential increase in Jew-hatred).

Today I found out that I shall have to pay a departure tax for exercising my right to leave, and the money that will be taken from me (because the obscene amount of taxes that I've already paid in full is not enough) will be given to new incoming immigrants who hate Jews. My taxes funded my forced exit and will fund the harassment of any remaining Jews in Canada.

It would take me 10+ more years of work to save the amount that is likely to be taken via the departure tax.

Is this moral? Ethical? Just? In any case, off to bed. Tomorrow is a new day.

Canada… are you okay?

A journalist just asked an MP—with a straight face—what he’d say to mentally ill people who were hoping the government would kill them next year.

Let that sink in.

2 yrs ago when I had surgery for cancer, the lady in the next bed was visited by a hospital administrator she had not met before, not her doctor, who stood at the end of her bed and said she had no option but to have MAID. The woman said “Absolutely not! I plan to get up and dance again”. The administrator then started to argue with her saying she had no choice but MAID without explaining why. The woman said “Well I’ll talk to my family when they come on Monday.” The administrator replied “They’re coming on Monday? Good, I’ll talk to them”. She headed off the family on Monday before they saw her and they came to our room primed to convince her she had to have MAID according to the hospital. She then argued with the family that she didn’t want it. During the day she was firm but at night when they weren’t there she cried. Ultimately they convinced her and started preparing a party for her to say goodbye to all her friends. So sad. And it has made me more skeptical about MAID procedures.

On theme.

[Victor Davis Hanson @VDHanson]

Import poverty; romanticize illegal immigration; demonize the middle class; drive out private-sector capital; and exempt elites from the consequences of their own ideology—and you’re left with a state where democracy dies, along with everything else.

A message from @ConradMBlack:

Canada "isn't a middle power. It is an important country...

We have to stop thinking like little people.

Stop thinking like people who always have to pipe up and remind the Americans that we're here.

We seemed to go in a quick transition from being a semi-colonial dominion... to being kind of an American branch plant.

Prior to free trade... Almost every company in Canada except the Banks and Canadian Pacific had the words '(Canada) ltd' after their name, and there was great controversy in the 84' election whether we could survive [free trade] but we did and we've got to keep doing that.

We've got to accelerate the process of growing into our status as an important country."

Conrad sat down with MLI's Managing Director @brianleecrowley for an illuminating fireside chat in Toronto on June 11.

Many thanks to our board chair Gerry Protti, our host Mark Rodger, and all those who attended and made the evening so very worthwhile.

The Canadian left treats the American surveillance state as a civil-liberties emergency. It has had almost nothing to say about the one Mark Carney is building.

THE ELITES WON'T TELL YOU THIS—but the science is clear.

The University of Nebraska just proved raising MORE COWS & eating MORE BEEF saves the planet.

Cows are carbon negative—they produce more oxygen than the methane & carbon they emit.

[Wholesome Side of 𝕏 @itsme_urstruly]

The nicest thing literature does is this: it tells you that your strange little feelings are not that strange. Someone, somewhere, in some century, was also confused by love, bored by society, tired of pretending, and hungry for meaning.

Tomorrow, the House of Commons will debate and vote on the Senate’s amendment to Bill C-9.

Canada’s freedom was built on foundations deeper than politics: Judeo-Christian values, conscience, conviction, truth, and the right to speak without fear of state punishment.

The Liberals’ anti-free speech bill leaves those foundations behind and gives government more power to decide what Canadians are allowed to say.

[Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @Noahpinion]

Warrenism spreading to Canada, I see. Grocery stores make almost no profits, so trying to drive their profits lower will just force them out of business, causing food deserts.

[Robyn Urback @RobynUrback]

A malignant indifference has taken hold of Canada in the decade since MAID became legal.

We’re closing our eyes to what’s happening to the vulnerable, because we want to preserve the choice for ourselves if we happen to reach a state of intolerable suffering.

It’s a malignant indifference that’s eating away at this country’s soul https://t.co/DzhYzLpDll

[L. Wayne Mathison @WayneMathison]

Ayn Rand’s warning was not about some distant dystopia. It was about the moment a country starts punishing production and rewarding political access.

Look at Liberal Canada.

If you want to build, drill, mine, farm, hire, invest, or expand, you need permission from people who produce nothing but paperwork. If you play the subsidy game, hire the right lobbyist, repeat the right slogans, and flatter the right ministers, money magically appears.

Work gets taxed. Risk gets regulated. Failure gets funded. Competence gets buried under process. Graft gets renamed “partnership.” Waste gets called “investment.” Favours get dressed up as policy.

This is how countries decline. Not all at once. Slowly, stupidly, and with press releases.

Canada does not need more managers of decline. It needs a government that respects the people who actually produce the wealth in the first place.

[Tanis Fiss @TanisFiss]

How about cutting the taxes and regulations that artificially inflate the price of food in Canada, instead of creating more unaccountable layers of bureaucracy.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]
