Forgive me, Ms. Lang (@AmandaLang), but you are exactly wrong. The problems Canada faces ARE, in fact, about government mismanagement. Canada is in structural stagnation due to a chronic lack of productivity growth and a collapse in private investment, the result of government policy.

If 'trade frictions' and war in Iran disappeared tomorrow, they would not, in any way, solve the underlying cause of weak growth.

Also of note:
Youth unemployment is at a 35-year high adjusted for participation.

Dear @kinsellawarren

You’re an X-@liberal_party aide who takes money to give political advice. You write books. Good on ya.

But you don’t get to call yourself a #journalist and trash talk somebody who’s spent 43 years fighting to keep the industry alive.

Get off my lawn.

The government of Canada hired 32,000 additional workers to compel Canadians to complete the census.

They hired zero additional workers to locate and deport illegals, and zero additional workers to facilitate the deportation of foreign criminals.

The previous PM is in America, cheering on America, with his American girlfriend, drinking from a plastic straw.

While the current PM, just landed in Europe, & said “it’s good to be home,” while nearly all his assets & family are in America.

Anyone else seeing this? 😭

Quebec gets to cap its immigration rates at 45K per year and gets a whopping $775.1M to ensure newcomers integrate into Quebec society.

British Columbia has no immigration cap and gets $25 million.

So while Trudeau flooded Canada with millions of "temporary immigrants" that don't leave, Quebec is the only Province allowed to decide who gets to stay in their Province. Nice eh?

Quebec also enforces their secular culture via religious symbols ban in government jobs.

The people arguing pointlessly that Quebec is not a Nation, within the Nation of Canada, are like a dog chasing their tail in the mud.

The rest of Canada was not allowed to decide who the Federal government brought into their Provinces.

Trudeau just did it and left already struggling Canadians to deal with an exploding cost of living.

In 2026 Canada will bring in 380K permanent residents. Quebec caps their immigration level at 45K.

A Province with 22% of the Canadian population, will only take in 12% of Canada's immigration rate.

Quebec gets to protect its culture and society while the rest of us are told it's racist to even think that way.

Elon Musk: There are no lords and peasants at Tesla. Everyone eats at the same table.

“I actually know the people on the line, because I worked on the line, I walked the line, I slept in the factory, and I worked beside them. So, I'm no stranger to them.

There are many people at Tesla who have gone from working on the line to being in senior management. There are no lords and peasants. Everyone eats at the same table. Everyone parks in the same parking lot.

At GM, there's a special elevator only for senior executives. We have no such thing at Tesla.

We give everyone stock options. Many people who are just working the line, who didn't even know what stocks were, we've made them millionaires.

And I just want to say that I'm incredibly appreciative of those who build the cars, and they know it.”

"Not one reporter asked the Prime Minister where the $3.2 billion for these new food investments will come from. That's becoming a pattern. Announcements are easy. Explaining how they'll be funded should be part of the conversation too."

SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell is one of the most impressive people in America. Her interview on CNBC is a must-watch.

I loved her answer about SpaceX’s role as a government contractor:

“We’re always going to support our government. We’re a company of patriots, and we want to make sure our government has access to the leading technology and the best stuff. And I think we provide the best stuff.”

History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet.

Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years.

And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor.

You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.

This reads like a screed by a Marxist undergrad in a campus paper.

There is no way the editors of the Globe thought it was a meritorious piece.

Was it run because the “eat the rich” tag line would max engagement? Is the Globe now trolling us with clickbait?

Or do the Globe’s editors also want to incite hatred of their massively wealthy proprietors?

Canada is the f'in worst man.

The angry, bitter, loser hating everyone else's success.

Richard Wagner has spent his time as Chief Justice turning himself into the self-appointed guardian of Canadian democracy: annual press conferences, speeches about the rule of law, warnings about democratic backsliding.

The old convention was that judges speak through their rulings and otherwise keep quiet. Wagner seems to find that beneath him. He wants to be a public figure, not just a judge.

The irony is that every time he steps up to the microphone to defend the court’s legitimacy, he’s the one politicizing it. A judiciary that lets its work speak for itself doesn’t need a spokesman. Wagner has made himself one anyway, and the institution is worse off for it.

[Dan Albas @DanAlbas]

Only PM Carney, after announcing he is closing 7 Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada research sites Canada wide, has the audacity to turn around and state:

"we are not harnessing enough technology in our agri-food sectors" as he did in his "food strategy":

You don’t have to love Elon Musk to recognize what this headline says about us.

A country that spends more time criticizing wealth creation than encouraging it sends a clear message to builders: your success is tolerated, not celebrated.

Canada should be the best place in the world to build ambitious companies. Headlines like this make us look like we’re not quite ready for that.
