Something is allegedly happening at CIBC.

Employees on Reddit are reporting another round of restructuring and layoffs, including telephone banking.

One commenter alleges some work is being shifted overseas to the Philippines, Guatemala and India.

That part is unconfirmed.

But here's the bigger question:

Canada just lost 42,000 jobs in August.

Youth unemployment: 12.9%.

Ontario lost 18,000 jobs.

At what point do we start having a serious conversation about Canadian companies eliminating Canadian jobs while expanding workforces abroad?

These aren't meaningless jobs. These are entry points into banking, careers and the middle class.

If we can't create and retain jobs here, what exactly is the plan for the next generation?

Jay-Z doing an exclusive with Target is extremely on brand. Folks are still in denial about his NFL stunt but it’s a pattern at this point

Now the Compton rappers themselves are saying Kendrick only cut them $10K to be on GNX while Drake handed Molly Santana $500K for one feature. So the 'man of the people' nickel-and-dimes his own city and the 'culture vulture' pays full price? Y'all sure you got the villain right?

The idea that Arsenal became a cultural phenomenon because it signed Black players is too simplistic.

Like much of London, Arsenal positioned itself as a club that extended belonging towards the margins. Not racial margins alone, but the margins of football's imagination.

Kanu arrived after heart surgery that could have ended his career. Bergkamp arrived carrying the weight of a disappointing spell at Inter. Henry arrived as a talented but unsettled player still searching for his place. Kolo Touré was potential before proof. Arteta arrived as a midfielder many thought was entering decline, only to be entrusted with the captaincy. Wenger himself was a foreign manager challenging the assumptions of English football.

The pattern was not diversity for its own sake. It was recognition before validation.

Arsenal repeatedly seemed willing to see people not simply as they were, but as they could become. It trusted before consensus arrived. It built a reputation for offering a second chance, a fresh start, or a path to fulfilment where others saw limitation, uncertainty, or decline.

That is why former players, injured players, and out-of-contract players so often found their way back to Arsenal. The club developed a reputation for treating people as more than their immediate utility.

Representation matters. But recognition creates loyalty.

People did not just see players who looked like them. They saw an institution that appeared willing to enlarge its definition of who belonged.

Please keep him out of Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant convos please like I said. Mike & Kobe wasn’t getting swept by Tik Tok creators.

[Rose TheArtist @rosethaaartist]

When LeBron didn't match those MJ and Kobe ring counts despite having more time and more "superteams," the conversation shifted toward things like "all time scoring," "total rebounds," and "longevity" to keep him in the mix.

[Rose TheArtist @rosethaaartist]

4 rings 23 years. I know yall love LeBron but we gotta have a conversation at some point.
