This ain’t good. Give it a read.

“Unlike many US states, from 1999 to 2024 every Canadian province experienced a decline in private-sector employment as a share of total employment, meaning the government sector outgrew the private sector in every province.”

>1 in 5 jobs 🤦‍♂️

@Sportsnet Is there anyone available to teach @IceSingher how to say Mark Schieffle's last name properly? I've been asking for a couple years now with no success.

@thebender7 Unexpected. Thanks for the info!

@CattleNut @TimHortons Don't go to the one in Lethbridge... I found a couple gas stations that have great Coffee (OnTheRun in Moose Jaw), or McDonalds. I have given up on Tims.

Ordered several styles and lenses of these Torch sunglasses. Best visual quality on sunglasses ever. Driving, golf, pickleball, and fishing. Tough to get in Canada, but highly recommend them if you are in the USA. Great sale on right now, quick shipping. https://t.co/EgVefQLa8u

HotBox sunglasses are perfect for a day outdoors! They have a great fit, lanyard connectivity, and lens polarization perfect for any view. #torcheyewear #hotbox

@masky_mcmask @Armed_Alberta How much non-Alberta trade relies on West coast ports? Access through Alberta has value. Alberta can access Pacific Northwest US port infrastructure if really necessary, but the port of Vancouver would essentially be shut down without the ability to cross Alberta.

This is why Canada is not a serious country. Thanks @CBCNews for your dedication to serious journalism.

@RaquelDancho As I understand it, there is no business case.
Has to be true, the government said so.

@Sportsnet Please, if you are going to force @NHLJets fans to listen to Harnaryan Singh, please teach him how to pronounce Mark Schieffle's name.

I worked for 20 years in "Big Ag" so you don’t have to. This is what they don’t want you to know:

Farmers don’t have time for conspiracy theories.

Romanticize farming all you want, but without modern tools, you’d starve.

GM crops aren't frankenfood.

They cut pesticide use, resist drought, and improve yields, all while passing some of the strictest safety checks in science.

They are the least unknown crops.

Your food is safe. Period.
Pesticides are tested more rigorously than most medicines.

Farming isn’t killing the planet.

Modern farming uses less land, less water, and fewer inputs than ever before. Innovation is the solution, not the problem.

Organic farming still use pesticides. Some are more toxic and less effective than synthetic alternatives, meaning higher doses are needed.

If you really care about feeding the world and protecting the planet, focus on facts, not fear.

My name is Simon and my goal is to make people smarter, not angrier.

Drop a “Hi” in the comments and let me know if you have any questions about Ag!

@originalsteel Hopefully this speeds up the Salo to 1st pair, Demelo to 3rd pair trial.

Years ago a $16 glass of orange juice made the Ottawa Press Gallery lose their shit on the Conservatives. Let’s see how they react to a $95 billion *mistake* in their budget projections.

All Canadians should be able to agree on this.
