In fact, going back to 2000 AB has seen almost no growth in GDP/person. BC (not short of immigrants!) Has been doing great on GDP/person this century.

[Kevin Milligan @kevinmilligan]

Mike's data is correct (of course) but I wouldn't so quickly tag this as an immigration-driven thing. Check which provinces have been pulling up GDP/person over this time period, and which ones dragging us down.

Musk's platform suspended @ThePenthouse604 because they posted a picture of their club sign which reads "Forever neighbours, never neighbors". A simple fact, aimed at Trump and MAGA.

This was considered "hateful content" 🤦‍♂️.

"It's the way we do the math" that keeps us from recognizing the long term benefits of species protection. Northern Right Whales need protection.

In a world where political success seems to depend so much on intrigue, dissimulation, and subterfuge, how did a person such as former Indian PM Manmohan Singh make it to the top? asks @kaushikcbasu. https://t.co/mesF0iAAee

Thank you for responding. These issues affect all passengers, especially our elders on the Vancouver-Delhi route. I encourage you to address these systemic problems openly & outline steps to improve maintenance, hygiene, and safety #IndianDiaspora #SouthAsian @OmniFDN

[Nisha Malhotra, Ph.D. @Nisha_Malhotra_]

To Air India: My recent flights (AI186 & AI185) between Vancouver and Delhi were horrendous. Planes in disrepair, unhygienic conditions, safety hazards. Urgent improvements needed for passenger safety! #PassengerSafety @ai@airindia @TataCompanies @Transport_gc @CTA_gc @MoCA_GoI @DGCAIndia https://t.co/4TdyqPxEst
