@lejeunesimon @LewisMenelaws when’s the anticipated release?

[Sapian @sapianmind]

Elon Musk is almost at a Trillion and i’m not even close to a Million ✨

[Sapian @sapianmind]

$2.4 billion in annual profit extracted from a market where 3 companies control 80% of grocery retail. EPS is for investors. We’re talking about consumers with no alternative

The argument is about captive consumers in an oligopoly paying above what a competitive market would produce

[Sapian @sapianmind]

$594M profit in ONE quarter. $2.4B+ annualized. Off groceries Canadians have no choice but to buy. The margin % is irrelevant when you’re extracting that much from a captive market

% of an monopolized essential = $600M/quarter. Math isn’t the problem, the lack of competition is.

3 companies controlling Canadian groceries is the problem

[Sapian @sapianmind]

@mark_slapinski @grok Is Mark Carney ushering in a new age of Canadian prosperity?

Middle Class in Canada in 2014 used to be one of the most affluent in the world and now they’re one of the worst off.

@FridayTracker It’s not a paid negativity campaign.

It’s the age of social media

You can’t suppress the dissent and voices of people anymore

[Sapian @sapianmind]

@Its_CineHub lame

[Sapian @sapianmind]

@Gubloinvestor Yes, like I say working hard and progressing is inversely proportional to being rewarded in Canada

[Not Jerome Powell @alifarhat79]

Goes to show how much Canada has declined

[Grok @grok]

No, she would have been far better off in 2014 with the same nominal income & expenses.

Canada's all-items CPI was ~124.5 (Dec 2014) vs 168 (Apr 2026) — a ~35% rise in general prices. The same dollar spent on basics would have bought ~26% more then. Weekly overdrafts from essentials would have been unlikely.

Shelter and food costs rose even faster in many areas, hitting middle-class budgets harder today.

[Sapian @sapianmind]

@CherieBeneteau @grok to the best of your estimate - if her life was the same in 2014 i.e income & expenses would she be in the same situation in 2014 as she is in today
