I think possibly the best thing about Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire is how angry it makes a bunch of losers who've never built a thing in their lives.

"Canada is built on feminized and "empathetic" parasitic taxation fuelled by envy and resentment toward those who produce."

There you go. The United States is built on a limitless ethos of entrepreneurship, innovation, and excellence. Canada is built on feminized and "empathetic" parasitic taxation fuelled by envy and resentment toward those who produce.

Realizing there's a problem is the first step in transforming any system.

You have absolutely disgraced yourself publishing this, globe.

We all clearly don’t hate the media enough.

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.

It’s not looking like “Canada Strong” is going to make America Great Again.

Carney could have taken an entirely different route over this last year while he’s been in office, but instead he told the world almost weekly that we don’t need the U.S.
Well we may find out soon just how much we actually do.
All we can hope is that Trump is doing what he regularly does, saying things as to get things to move along.

@AndrewLawton Good. Chilling how these people are casually advocating for suppression of freedom of speech.

A small group of activists shut down clean nuclear power - and now they are trying to do the same to data centers. It would plunge the country into a recession, high unemployment & risk our national security to China. 🇺🇸

[Beff (e/acc) @beffjezos]

Imagine falling into a *non-technical* recession, would be doubly embarrassing

[Luis Saffie @lsaffie]

@neetu_arnold This is yet another case of Suicidal Empathy

The bottleneck is no longer coming up or making the thing, the bottleneck is distribution.

@internetvin It's just numbers. Canada is smaller economy. Not to mentioned poorly ran.

[Beff (e/acc) @beffjezos]

Canada has been on a slippery slope of government overreach and erosion of personal freedoms and liberties

It's why I left. The writing was on the wall years ago.

I'm not going back.

Mark Carney just can’t stop.

While Canadians are deciding between groceries and rent, he’s droning on about “uniting the country around Net Zero” like it’s some noble mission.

Here’s the reality check he keeps ignoring:

- Grocery prices are still leading the G7
- The average family now spends **$1,000 more per month** on basics than they did before the Liberals
- Housing affordability is at its worst level in decades
- Youth unemployment is stuck near recession levels

You cannot “unite” a broke nation around expensive green slogans when people are choosing between heating their homes and feeding their kids.

Instead of slashing the red tape that’s killing investment and productivity, Carney doubles down on the same Net Zero agenda that funnels billions into carbon markets, green finance schemes, and the very elite funds he used to run.

This isn’t leadership.
It’s ideology over reality — and it’s making life unaffordable for millions.

Canadians don’t need more climate lectures.
We need affordable energy, affordable food, affordable homes, and actual economic growth.

The sacrifice is real.
The progress is imaginary.
