Barack Obama at his last press briefing with reporters, 2017:
"I have enjoyed working with all of you. That does not, of course, mean that I've enjoyed every story that you have filed, but that's the point of this relationship. You're not supposed to be sycophants. You're supposed to be skeptics. You're supposed to ask me tough questions. You're not supposed to be complimentary, but you're supposed to cast a critical eye on folks who hold enormous power."
@SolaTheAnalyst I wonder if it's a commentary on the overall economy, or if Dollarama's product offerings have just improved? There's not much left that's $1, but the variety and value for money is incredible. My wife will check there for craft supplies before even mentioning the word Michaels
@JonHegreness_AZ@JohnnyAGI Your facts are correct, we can't win a trade war, but the point is why are we even in one? Just because your bigger doesn't mean you need to use your size as leverage to get your way to the detriment of others. We have grown and prospered together. It's just mean.

All the rhetoric, subsidies, government assistance, etc. and in the past 30 years we've gone from 76.8% to 76.3% fossil fuel consumption in Canada?

@PeterSandersX@CTVNews Canadian building standards are world-class for both life safety and structural integrity you twit. I'll happily take the other side of that bet. GTFO with your garbage comment.
@NoLimitGains Isn't this just an argument for improved financial literacy starting in high school or even earlier? If you are a retail investor (me) and you buy because "number go up" it is no one's responsibility to come rescue you when you get rugged.
Do your research. Know what you own.

Okay, Rich - I'm pretty sure I found a picture of you at one of your beer league games, but there's something very familiar about it 🤔
@Malone_Wealth It all depends on your time horizon. This is why traders talk about "bagholders" and "rug pulls". I own $XOM because it' an incredible business with a fortress balance sheet. I plan to own it for a long time as the world is nowhere near done with oil/gas. That simple...
@adamtaggart It DOES take some humility to admit you're wrong and pull the plug. A lot of people in these comments think that these decisions are easy. In hindsight they are - in the moment not so much.
@LynAldenContact I have to give Zuck some credit for pulling the plug when things weren't panning out. A lot of founders/CEOs don't have the balls to admit when their wrong and pivot.
