Canadians in their 40s with an average TFSA balance of $20,000 and RRSP of $82,000 realizing they need at least $1.7M to retire comfortably.

Just to show you how great of a businessman Trump is, he decided to put tariffs on a country we had free trade with. What's better than free? He decided that Americans should pay more for the products we get from Canada.

More recently, here in Michigan (Detroit). Canada built an expansion bridge from Canada to America. It's called the Gordie Howe Bridge. Howe was a Canadian and Detroit Red Wing hockey player who played for Detroit for 25 years. He was a 21 time all-star, a Hall of Famer and brought 4 Stanley Cups to Detroit.

Canada built the bridge at a cost of $4 billion dollars. Not one cent was paid for by the United States. Yet, Canada is splitting bridge revenue 50/50 with the United States. Trump keeps delaying the opening of the bridge, saying he is trying to negotiate a better deal for the U.S. What's better than free money?

Can you now understand the six bankruptcies and that he's never been a great businessman?

🦔AI companies are bulk-buying rare books, scanning them through high-speed machines that cut the spines off, and shredding the originals. A service called ISBNdb facilitates orders of up to a million books and keeps buyers anonymous. Pre-2022 books are premium because they're free of AI-generated text. A federal judge ruled the practice is fair use because eliminating the original means only one copy exists at a time. Anthropic hired the former head of Google Books partnerships to obtain "all the books in the world."

My Take
This got to me. A bookseller told 404 Media that rare books with almost no surviving copies are being fed into this pipeline. Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email.
ISBNdb's website literally says "'AI company destroys two million books' is not a headline that generates sympathy," and they still built an entire business around making it happen quietly. They offer NDAs as a feature. They coach clients to call it "digital preservation."

I've covered AI companies scraping the internet, torrenting libraries, and stealing music. This is worse because it's irreversible. You can re-upload a website. You can reprint a bestseller. You can't replace the last three copies of an 18th-century botanical text once someone shreds them for training data. And the judge said it's legal. So it's going to accelerate.
"We shred rare books and offer NDAs so nobody finds out" is a legitimate business model in 2026. What a timeline.
