Curious skeptic.

@Noahpinion Please, Noah. Stop spouting off about Canada if you won’t at least do the minimum level of fact-checking.

[Jay Zhao-Murray @jzm_econ]

@Noahpinion @JonnyLomond If you consider national newspapers private.

@quinngreg @CdnPressNews I immediately thought that was an intentional reference

@TheStalwart @MeganNyvold I’m not sure why but my roaming worked in Shenzhen. Didn’t need VPN to access social media either.

@altruafinancial I believe jobs rose in March.

@ronmortgageguy Public sector employment can’t be mapped cleanly to government bureaucrats. Public administration actually dropped in May; public sector growth came from healthcare and education.

@dieworkwear Genuinely appreciate you taking the time. Thanks for the reply

[Jay Zhao-Murray @jzm_econ]

@dieworkwear That’s a fair point re: casual clothes, but I don’t know if anyone looks to Kanye on how to wear a suit.

And I find your thoughts on formalwear still quite relevant for modern professional settings!

[Jay Zhao-Murray @jzm_econ]

@dieworkwear Sure, but that doesn’t address why we haven’t continued to follow the tastes of the elites into the present.

And I’m not saying this just to argue but genuinely curious why you think that is

[Jay Zhao-Murray @jzm_econ]

@dieworkwear Why do you think our sense of aesthetics is so tied to the dress of 20th century elites? Why not the 19th century? Or the 21st? Seems odd that our sense of what looks good would just freeze on one particular period’s elite customs—curious if you have a theory

[Jay Zhao-Murray @jzm_econ]

@RealAlbanianPat Lots of people switch programs at least once. Any program is fine—just take the intro courses to a few things you’re interested in so that you have options. You can re-evaluate this time next year based on what you end up liking.

Immigration Minister Marc Miller, asked about Mr. Trump referring to Trudeau as "Governor Justin Trudeau of the Great State of Canada", told reporters it "sounds like we’re living in an episode of South Park."

[Jay Zhao-Murray @jzm_econ]

Really happy with this piece that Randy, Laura and I just put out.

For all the fanfare about reducing immigration in Canada, the country’s plan to halt population growth mostly relies on getting millions of temporary residents go home.

[Laura Dhillon Kane @ldhillonkane]

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s plan to fix immigration in Canada depends on the biggest exodus of people since at least the 1940s — one that many economists doubt is feasible. https://t.co/nrVgWlh6Eb via @economics @jzm_econ @rtkwrites

Federal employment has risen a lot under the present government and the increases are pretty much across all departments. Here are two charts describing that employment growth. #cdnecon

[Jay Zhao-Murray @jzm_econ]

@PhilSmith26 Great chart!

[Laura Dhillon Kane @ldhillonkane]

Canada’s oil industry stressed the economic and security benefits of its exports to the US, while also using Trump’s tariff threat as a chance to criticize Justin Trudeau for his climate policies https://t.co/v3trBrwqCo via @markets @roberttuttle @kevinorland Chart by @jzm_econ

@smeurrens FWIW StatCan’s population numbers do not incorporate CBSA’s exit data.

@yacineMTB You’re Canadian? Unfollowed.
