Last year, Microsoft made $101 billion in profits, got a $12.5 billion tax break from Trump & paid its CEO $96 million.
This year, it’s raising the price of an Xbox by $150 & eliminating 3,200 jobs.
Please don’t tell me corporate tax breaks create jobs. It never trickles down.
Be mature enough to fix what can
be fixed.
Be wise enough to leave what
refuses to change.
Not every conflict is a sign to walk
away.
Not every apology deserves another
chance.
Humility saves relationships.
Boundaries save you.
Over the years, FIFA has suspended the likes of Nigeria, Kuwait, Indonesia, Pakistan, Congo, Sierra Leone, and Guatemala over government interference in football.
But the US president ringing up to get an on-field decision overturned?
Absolutely fine. Nothing to see here.
Birthright citizen scores for the US men’s team at the World Cup (again!) the same week the US Supreme Court affirms birthright citizenship… has a nice ring to it.
Cry more, MAGA!
Canada’s GDP grew 0.5% in April, beating the 0.4% forecast and marking the fastest monthly growth since July 2025. That’s on top of a 0.1% gain in May. Second quarter is now tracking toward roughly 2.3% to 2.5% annualized growth, well above the Bank of Canada’s own 1.5% projection.
Growth was broad based too. 14 of 20 industrial sectors expanded. Oil and gas led the charge with a 2.9% jump, the sector’s best month since February 2024. Manufacturing, construction and transportation all posted gains.
Remember the recession headlines a few weeks ago? Two quarters of contraction had people ready to write the obituary. Economists are now calling that a false alarm. BMO’s chief economist said it outright.
I told you so. The Canadian economy is not as fragile as the doom posting suggested. Still sluggish, still facing real headwinds from U.S. trade policy, but grinding along!
