I think possibly the best thing about Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire is how angry it makes a bunch of losers who've never built a thing in their lives.

that CBC-funded “prank” didn’t just target pundits. In @Quillette, I report on their efforts to mock a humble 82-yr-old Brockville granddad who enjoys 19th-c historical re-enanctments. Producers repeatedly lied to him for months, then exploited his trust

Nearly half of the most productive Canadians have fled to America.

While third world migrants make up 98% of Canada's own population growth.

Population replacement at warp speed.

Canada just lost 109,000 jobs in 2 months.

In US terms that’s almost 1 million jobs.

Meanwhile food inflation just hit 7.3% — the highest in the G7. And 60% of Canadians are borrowing to buy groceries.

Carney is sacrificing regular Canadians to score points on Donald Trump.

If you grew up in the 1970’s you probably posses these traits.

Wow this is so TRUE would you agree!

Marc Andreessen: There are two ways to think about education. One is at the national level — how do you educate all kids? But the real question is N = 1: what do you do for one individual kid? And for centuries, the answer has been obvious.

If your goal is to maximize a single child, the best method by far is one-on-one tutoring. Every royal family knew this. Every aristocratic class knew this. It’s why Alexander the Great was tutored by Aristotle — and then took over the world.

There’s actually statistical proof of this. The Bloom’s 2-sigma effect shows one-on-one tutoring can move a kid from the 50th percentile to the 99th percentile. No other educational method comes close.

AI changes that. For the first time in history, every kid can have access to infinite questions, instant feedback, personalized explanations, and real-time quizzes — all at N = 1 scale.

This is the most powerful shift in education we’ve seen in centuries. One-on-one tutoring was always the gold standard. AI is what finally makes it available to everyone.

10 years of the Liberals pissing on us and calling it rain.
To think we’ve endured their gaslighting and lies about the carbon tax for a decade and they still refuse to remove it today. There constant excuse? It makes businesses more competitive….you can’t make this level of insanity up.

Milton Friedman put it bluntly: 'You cannot simultaneously have free immigration and a welfare state.

He explained why America's early open borders thrived—not from softness, but because immigrants came to work and contribute in a system with almost no welfare safety net pulling them in.

Fast-forward to today: You can welcome people for jobs and opportunities...
OR maintain a generous welfare state that offers benefits to all comers.

But both at once? The incentives break down. Wages for low-skilled workers are pressured, public resources are strained, social trust erodes, and political backlash becomes predictable.

This isn't about fear or prejudice, it's pure economics: math, human behavior, and historical reality.

Friedman saw it coming. The contradiction hasn't gone away; it's only gotten louder.

What do you think—should we prioritize open jobs or a robust welfare system... or is there a realistic way to have both?
