@rupasubramanya 1. Capital has always come from General Revenues. If you can’t fund it, it’s like buying a car way beyond your budget.

2. Rerank G7 on GDP per capita using past 10 yrs, and Canada is much worse. Carney’s budget has done nothing to address Canada workers’ huge productivity gap.

@JamesSurowiecki With these new tariffs (and the highly flawed tariff methodology), nations selling more to USA than they buy, will sell less to USA. This will increase the trade imbalance (deficit) and eliminate the possibility that USA imposed tariff rates will come down. Bad news for all.

[Dave Williams @WilliamsDave]

@WSJ @WSJ, you failed to mention that the tariff collected by the U.S. government would be almost zero if demand is severely dampened. So what has been accomplished?

Bon retour dans le désert! @JayDevilliers.
C'était amusant d'être avec toi hier à la clinique.
Play well, my friend. I’ll be there to cheer you on.

@DavidStaplesYEG Trudeau and Guilbeault are driven equally on this issue by:
1. Naive ideology about the economic impact of their “green” energy policy; and
2. Desire to curtail the economic power of regions that imperil Central Canada’s political “control”.

Canada is now one of only a few countries in the world — alongside Russia and China — not to have access to Google’s artificial-intelligence-based chatbot Bard, as Google’s stand-off with the Liberal government over regulation continues

@CrytzerFry Melissa, you’ve enriched my life by sharing your wonderful wildlife cam photos and videos. Thank you, and best wishes that your time off will heal whatever ails you and enrich your soul at the same time. I look forward to your return to this, or other, platforms.

I hope not, but it looks like RSA is prepping to sabotage the nuclear plant, blame it on Ukraine and then use that to justify launching nuclear missiles.

[OSINTdefender @sentdefender]

The International Atomic Energy Agency reported that the Main Power Supply to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant was “Cut” last night with the Facility being placed onto its recently restored Backup-Power Line for the First Time in over 4 months.

Refreshingly thought provoking. But sadly, against the grain of views held by many in the woke generation who only seek validation from their echo chamber.

The comments to this tweet tell you everything you need to know about why Canada will continue to be left behind economically. There is no political option courageous enough to embark on a campaign to properly re-educate Canada’s misinformed populace.

Twitter suppressed true information from doctors and public-health experts that was at odds with U.S. government policy.

This is a story, by @davidzweig, that impacted every American...whether or not they have ever logged onto Twitter.

1. THREAD:

THE TWITTER FILES: HOW TWITTER RIGGED THE COVID DEBATE

– By censoring info that was true but inconvenient to U.S. govt. policy
– By discrediting doctors and other experts who disagreed
– By suppressing ordinary users, including some sharing the CDC’s *own data*
