Feeling a little nervous. Talked to @kbieksa3 last night and he mentioned this being a game you may have wanted Tom Wilson on the roster. Feel it was a big opportunity to balance the mutants out. USA has some mutants. I think things will get ugly tonight. USA is going to try and pound Canada into the ground. Pietrangelo also a gut punching loss. He’s a mutant. And can handle Tkachuck’s. What’s everyone thinking??? 🇨🇦🇺🇸
I’m disappointed that trump admin placed the 25% tariffs.
I’m disappointed that this is our governments response.
I love Canada and want it to thrive. I built Canada’s biggest tech company here because I know it’s a special place.
Canada thrives when it works with America together. Win by helping America win. Trump believes that Canada has not held its side of the bargain, and he set terms to prove that we still work together: get the borders under control and crack down on fentanyl dens.
These are things that every Canadian wants its government to do, too. These are not crazy demands, even if they came from an unpopular source.
These tariffs are going to be devastating to so many people’s lives and small businesses.
Action has to be judged based on what it leads to, not how good it sounds or feels. Leadership is about doing what’s right, not what is popular. And hitting back will not lead to anything good. America will shrug it off. Canada will decline.
It’s simply the wrong choice in a possibility space where much better options would have been available.
‘61 billion deficit, $6000 per family spent just in deficit overspending. On top of having the highest taxes in the world, 53% highest marginal tax rate. Feds are taking in more $ than ever and still $62 billion short.
“free markets” drive progress - sellers compete with each other because buyers demand lower prices.
“captured markets”, where the government is the primary financier on the buy-side (usually at the political urging of some group of sellers), distort prices higher because the opposite is true - no matter how expensive something gets, the government will provide funding to buy it, if legislated to do so. this only yields anti-progress.
and is true in pharma and healthcare (medicare has no price negotiation incentive), education (federal student loans are handed out indiscriminately regardless of quality or performance or relative cost of education), and housing (tax credits and the federal housing loan programs, which assume home prices will always go up).
while the moral and policy intentions of these programs are sound - they provide supportive access to those in need - they are inevitably and universally inflationary which eventually makes the services LESS accessible to those in need.
no easy solution to this problem. but market incentives matter. cognizance of, and accountability for, pricing distortions should be the primary role of any agency overseeing a government service that risks these effects.
milei’s speech should be the media event of the year. every high school class in the US should break and watch it, then spend a week understanding the historical context behind his devastating truths. if you haven’t watched, please do. and share widely.
Canada may actually have a lower Real GDP Per Capita by the end of 2024 than in 2015.
Even though we nearly doubled the national debt.
And the cost of rent and housing has doubled.
Truly a lost decade for Canada. It’s not Covid. It’s failed political leadership!

Previous record Can fed deficit 55 billion. Trudeau managed 340 billion. That's $40,000 per Canadian family. In one year. And he explicitly claims disinterest in monetary policy. https://t.co/2yqFemQO83
