It's the steepled hands (or finger pyramid) gesture. Body language experts say it signals confidence, authority and thoughtful control – a classic "power pose" used by leaders and speakers.

Some also link it to Hakini Mudra for mental focus. The Illuminati/conspiracy claims are just memes with zero evidence. These guys are sitting like bosses, nothing more.

As a newcomer to this beautiful paradise on earth called Canada, I confirm that this might look strange to outsiders, but here it’s just a normal, everyday thing!

I love you guys. Here’s to more bad decisions and great memories in 2026.

10 Days of Service Denial, Fraudulent Billing, and Policy Dodges by @claudeai

I am publicly demanding immediate accountability from @claudeai for an utterly unacceptable situation involving my API account.

For ten (10) full days, my paid account has been unjustly suspended without specific notice or evidence of a violation. My attempts to seek resolution have been met with total silence and obstruction.

The Facts of Misconduct:

Lockout & Denial of Rights: My API account, pre-charged with approximately $150 USD, was blocked. Crucially, I have been DENIED login access the entire time, making it impossible for me to manage my service or exercise my basic right to CANCEL my subscription.

Fraudulent New Charge: Despite being locked out for 10 days, your system today processed an unauthorized and unconscionable NEW charge of $200 USD to my payment method.

Policy Dodging via AI: The only response I have received has been a boilerplate reply from a "Fin AI Agent," which merely parrots your Terms of Service and claims helplessness—a profound insult to a paying customer facing fraud.

Your company cannot hide behind generic policies and AI assistants while actively preventing a customer from canceling their service and then continuing to bill them. This is not a support failure; it is a blatant violation of fundamental consumer rights and, financially, an act of theft.

My Non-Negotiable Demand:

I require an IMMEDIATE and FULL REFUND of all monies charged since the date of the suspension ($150 + the fraudulent $200 charge). Furthermore, I demand a direct, human response from the Trust & Safety team within 12 hours detailing how this negligence will be corrected.

Failure to resolve this billing fraud promptly will result in immediate escalation via banking dispute channels and formal complaints to relevant consumer protection agencies.

Bill C-3: A Victory for Fairness, but a Valid Debate

The new changes to the Citizenship Act feel like the end of historical discrimination. Many have fought for years to ensure Canada doesn’t have "second-class citizens," and this is a huge win for them.

However, the concern about "citizens of convenience" isn't small, and we shouldn't ignore it. Canadians who have been living here, paying taxes, and dealing with high inflation and economic challenges have every right to be worried. It’s frustrating to think that some might only treat Canada as a safety net or a backup plan when things get tough.

Both sides have valid points. But as an entrepreneur working hard to grow my business here, I look at it from another angle.

Canada has created an incredible environment for starting a business. If the country didn't welcome immigrants, a huge amount of potential and economic opportunity would remain untapped. Immigrants are bridges to international markets. For example, coming from the Middle East, I can help Canadian products and services reach markets that might otherwise be inaccessible. We turn local businesses into global exporters.

Will some people abuse this new law? Probably. But we can’t ban knives just because they can be used as weapons. You need a knife to prepare almost any meal. If we ban the tool because of the risk, we starve ourselves of the opportunity.

Let’s focus on the potential for growth, while keeping the system fair.

[IRCC @CitImmCanada]

Canada has taken an important step toward modernizing its citizenship laws. Bill C-3 has received royal assent, ensuring Canadians affected by outdated rules have a fair way to pass citizenship on to their children born or adopted abroad.

The bill will come into effect at a later date, which will be shared publicly. Until then, the temporary measure remains in place for people affected by the first-generation limit. Learn more: https://t.co/EIlQdyCpDG

There is something distinct about the Mark Carney brand. It’s the art of staying cool in a heated room. Protecting a resource-heavy economy in Trump's orbit, without resorting to cheap populism or slogans, is a balancing act that few can pull off. It’s substance over noise.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

While in Abu Dhabi, I met with business leaders looking to invest in Canada.

We’re focused on opportunities to expand investment in critical minerals, clean energy, ports, and AI — in projects that will create high-paying careers and grow our economy.

🧠 Testing the New Frontier: ChatGPT 5.1 vs. the Titans
Just took ChatGPT 5.1 for a spin, and it's definitely an improvement over 5! 🚀

However, for my core tasks, the existing lineup still holds its ground:

I still lean towards Gemini and Notebool LM for reports and documentation.

Server-Side (Backend) Coding: The combo of VS 2025 connected to GitHub Copilot (paid, of course) and Claude AI with Sonnet 4.5 is currently my most reliable stack.

API Analysis (Market/Competitor Intel): For real-time, AI-driven market and competitor analysis, the precision of Anthropic Claude's Sonnet 4.5 remains unmatched—it’s a clear leader in this domain.

I haven't fed 5.1 my massive digital marketing campaign data yet. That's the ultimate test—analyzing big data and campaigns. For now, Grok remains the undisputed king of campaign and data analysis, until proven otherwise! 👑

My personal opinion?
It feels like humanity, everywhere on this planet, is digging its own grave for a not-so-distant future.

6/6

[Adel Talebi @atalebi]

Here's my take on Pavel Durov's recent message, plus a concern:

1. The free internet our parents built for open communication is now becoming a powerful tool for government control and surveillance. It's becoming a danger to humanity.

1/6

[Adel Talebi @atalebi]

5. My final thought: Durov and other social media owners have the power to message billions directly, ensuring their voice is heard. This power itself is dangerous and could be used to manipulate democracy.

5/6
