@drewharvie I still found it not a fun US Open to watch due to the lack of fans or fan engagement. Seemed like people were even less excitied than the 2023 one in LA.

@CDInewsletter @BowTiedBull All sports are pretty much the same:
"Historical data across Canada indicates that only about 0.02% to 0.025% of registered minor hockey players eventually make it to the NHL."

@CDInewsletter Harper had pushed the age to get OAS up to 67 and Canadians weren't complaining. Trudeau thought it was unfair to make people work to 67 and repealed the law. Big mistake. Older people are the biggest draw on the Canadian budget through income support and healthcare

@ronmortgageguy As we've seen with Trump, if you give him what he asked for, he just asked for more. Canada needs to put pressure on the by doing things outside the US. It is a very difficult situation.l, anyway you look at it, but Trump responds to strength not giving in easily

@lornerubenstein Love the pace of play. 1 guy hits and the next guy is ready to go. PGA could learn something watching this.

@ronmortgageguy For people who say they can't drop further, in the 1990's real estate crash, one friend bought a Mississauga condo for 35% of the original sales price. A 65% drop.

Haven't heard any horror stones that bad this time. At least not yet.

@puppyeh1 Does it not concern you that they are paying 8.25/9.0% on their unsecured notes and these are only rated ccc+ by S&P. While I like the cheapness of the stock, it seems they could be under a lot of pressure if the economy weakens

[Brent Barber @bbarberayr]

@orrdavid Reasonable gun control. You can get guns. but you have to take a safetly course and get checked out, so lower murder rates and accidental deaths and mass murder rates. Having a gun is a priviledge, not a right

[Brent Barber @bbarberayr]

@orrdavid excluding the last few years, points best and value adding to the country. Canada weak on crime as well, but getting some push towards firmer sentences.

[Brent Barber @bbarberayr]

@orrdavid Canada - government funder healthcare for medical issues, but not dental, massage, medine (yet). No one goes broke from being sick. Half of the GDP spend on healthcare compared to the US with better outcomes.
One of the best immigration systems in the world

@thysbe1 I have tried to find games on dozens of planes and never get matched. You were lucky to be able to play a game!

@exec_sum I would like to see a chart of online porn viewing vs. in-peraon sex. Pretty sure there is a strong relationship between increasing porn and less sex between people

[Brent Barber @bbarberayr]

@ronmortgageguy How about the Grand River Bridge replacement in Kitchener - 5 years to replace 1 bridge! We have to be able to do better than that.

@EddyElfenbein Thos shows are often the best and always good

@338Canada I'd like to see how Doug Ford would poll...

[Brent Barber @bbarberayr]

@Going4theGreen You could take it down to southern Ontario to courses like Westmount or London Hunt once in a while

[Brent Barber @bbarberayr]

@338Canada Is it possible the pollsters are underestimating the support for Conservatives from younger people who do not respond to polls well? I'm sure they try and take this into account, but the disparity by age seems high this election.

[Brent Barber @bbarberayr]

@RitholtzWealth @Downtown @Ritholtz @michaelbatnick @awealthofcs @ATeachMoment The same applies at tops. The market will go down before the economy.

[Brent Barber @bbarberayr]

@DougKass @realDonaldTrump It took 16 months to renegotiate NAFTA with just 2 countries. How can Trump possibly think he will nogiate a tariff agreement with 70 countries in a few days when he does not know what he really wants.

[Brent Barber @bbarberayr]

@mcuban Come to Canada. The doctors tell you what to do and, after waiting a little bit, you do it. No cost questions and we leave 4 years longer on average
