every forecast had this quarter pegged as the rebound. ottawa projected +1.4%. rbc and td both said +1.7%. q4 was the dip, q1 was supposed to be the recovery.
we got roughly zero growth

yes, this is a technical recession but
the longer pattern is what really matters and what concerns me most

real gdp per person grew 0.6% in all of 2025. it fell in 2024. it fell in 2023.

we haven’t become richer per person in years, and it’s crazy to me that we keep acting surprised when our growth is stalled

we have fundamental productivity and investment problems that won’t fix themselves

I will sound like I’m beating a dead horse here, but worth repeating again… we know what we need to do to fix this:

1. make capital gains and corporate tax rates at least as good with the US, if not materially better. across all industries.

2. open up protected markets to competition (telecoms, finance, dairy, transportation etc)

3. rapidly reduce bureaucratic red tape and slow process across the board, not just for favoured projects or sectors

and finally, let’s all remind ourselves that we can just do things. every Canadian can be part of fixing this. we can collectively hustle - aim high

Canada can be the richest country in the world, if we choose to be

Gotta hand it to the US they have some CB depth…def an area Canada needs to improve on especially with all our injuries

Unbelievable. David Eby is now straight-up blaming OpenAI

The Premier of British Columbia sat down with a devastated dad who lost his child in the Tumbler Ridge massacre and decided the real villain isn’t the system he runs... it’s some American chatbot company in California

Eby says he’s “quite angry” and “it looks like OpenAI had a chance to prevent this.” He wants them to explain why they didn’t call the cops when they banned the shooter’s account last June for violent queries

Let me get this straight, Premier

Your government’s health system fed this troubled biological male puberty blockers and hormones instead of real therapy

Your mental health system had repeated contacts, involuntary holds, and a history of self-harm and arson threats and did nothing decisive

Your police seized the guns from the house once… then handed them right back a month before the attack

Your rural health “emergency” centre in Tumbler Ridge was closed after 5 p.m. the day it happened. And now you’re pointing the finger at ChatGPT?

This is pathetic deflection on a level that should disgust every British Columbian

Did you know only 10 Sikhs volunteered to serve with Canadian forces in all 4 years of World War 1? There were 5,000 British Columbia Sikhs in 1914. Sikh Gurdwaras (several in Vancouver by 1914) forbade Sikhs from serving in the Canadian army, instead supporting the enemy German war effort!

Wales head coach Craig Bellamy was quite unhappy with Canada’s celebrations following the 1-0 win over Wales.

Canada celebrated with a salute to supporters.

“I hope to see you at a World Cup,” he said.

The other big piece here is a worker at a supervised injection site helping drug dealers. Injection sites pretend that they’re helping people but really they’re using government funding to profit and feed addiction. True compassion is helping people get off of drugs

I’m all for holding the government accountable when the government does dumb shit, but in this case no Canadian companies tendered an offer. What do you want them to do, award the contract to no one?

[Marc Nixon @MarcNixon24]

BREAKING: BC Ferries just outsourced 4 major ferry builds to China.

That means:
$1B in potential 🇨🇦 contracts lost
Tens of thousands of tons of steel sourced from China
Zero Canadian jobs, zero tax revenue, zero industry growth

We didn’t lose this contract. We gave it away

If you steal $19 million dollars from Canadian taxpayers the Canadian government will let you keep the money but you can't steal again for 7 years
