15 days before the multi-billion dollar Vancouver condo bailout was announced, BROOKFIELD entered into a deal with Concert Properties—a major Vancouver area condo developer.

So to get this straight, Brookfield—the asset management firm Mark Carney co-chaired—bought into the exact condo market Canadian tax payers are spending billions of dollars bailing out after decades of Chinese money laundering and corruption brought it to the verge of collapse.

Halliburton/Cheney level insider dealing. How is this considered even somewhat legitimate by any standards?

Mark Carney was installed to sell Canada piece by piece to Brookfield at pennies on the dollar and send billions of our dollars into his "blind trust."

If this were any other era he'd be removed immediately. But since Canada stands for nothing but platitudes this is just business as usual now.

Everyone has been waiting for this.

Argentina just flipped a passport rule in your favor.

Quick recap: last year, Argentina made citizenship dramatically harder.

In order to apply for a passport, you needed 2 years of continuous residence in the country, without leaving for a single day.

Applications were pulled from the courts and handed to the Immigration Department.

The result was a total freeze. Not a single application granted or rejected under the new system. Over a year of nothing. The lawyers we work with confirm it.

Late last month, the courts struck it down.

A federal appeals court in Buenos Aires and the National Electoral Court both ruled the new citizenship rules unconstitutional.

Citizenship can only be defined by Congress, not presidential decree.

What this means:

- Courts may process citizenship applications directly again. Roughly two years processing time.

- The zero-days-abroad rule may not hold. If you traveled during your two years, you may still qualify.

- Married to an Argentine, or have an Argentine child? The direct application, no two-year wait, may be back on the table.

What it doesn’t mean:

- No shortcut around legal residency. Overstaying and then applying is not a reliable path.

- You can’t run the process from abroad. Courts expect you living in Argentina while it moves.

The government says it will appeal. But after a year of frozen applications, momentum just swung hard toward applicants.

Argentina still has one of the fastest citizenship timelines on Earth.

If an Argentine passport is part of your plan, DM me and I’ll get you started, or help you pick up where you left off.

[Tony Aubé @aubetony]

After a hellish week in a Paris Airbnb with no AC (100°F outside, 108°F+ inside), I started looking into why the French are so opposed to AC.
There's many reasons: bureaucracy, poverty, etc. But the main one is decades of environmental campaigns that convinced people AC is the devil.
The result? You can't escape the heat. Most buses, metro lines, and shopping malls have no AC.
This Monday, 850 schools are closing because classroom temperatures exceed 104°F.
In Nantes, they built a brand-new train station and a hospital without AC for environmental reasons. The station is now partially closed because it's become a "furnace" that endangers travelers. Hospitals are covering windows with emergency foil blankets to protect patients.
The French demonize air conditioning because it creates carbon emissions that contribute to climate change. Never mind that France already has one of most carbon-free electricity in the world thanks to nuclear, or that it accounts for less than 1% of global emissions.
They also oppose AC because it "just displace the problem" by dumping heat into the street. Never mind that studies suggest even if an entire city were air-conditioned, the increase in outdoor temperature would be at most about 1°F.
Instead, people are willing to endure 104°F+ indoors to avoid a marginal increase outdoors.
This ideology kills more people than firearms in the United States.
Across Europe, between 50,000 and 70,000 people die from heat every year, mostly the elderly and the poor. Compare that to roughly 44,000 Americans killed by firearms.
For comparison, despite having a similar population, deserts, and more extreme temperatures, the United States has only about 2,500 heat-related deaths per year thanks to widespread AC.
That's what bothers me most. The moralizing posture completely detached from reality.
People feel morally superior for "not polluting." They criticize America and its guns while tolerating policies that kills even more people.
I share this anecdote because I know it's shocking to Americans. Here, schools or hospitals reaching 104°F would be unnaceptable.
The absurdity is immediately obvious to us because we're looking from the outside. We see the gap between moral intentions and real-world consequences.
But we're no different. In America, we have dozens of similar issues where we're just as irrational, and we've become blind to them because the solution isn't politically acceptable.
How do can we bring back logic and pragmatism in our societies ahead of irrational political ideological ?

I decide to leave Quebec/Canada because:

1) the taxation system is astounding, rendering it nearly impossible to accumulate enough money to truly retire
2) the government's open immigration policies have made it unsafe for my family to remain here (due to the exponential increase in Jew-hatred).

Today I found out that I shall have to pay a departure tax for exercising my right to leave, and the money that will be taken from me (because the obscene amount of taxes that I've already paid in full is not enough) will be given to new incoming immigrants who hate Jews. My taxes funded my forced exit and will fund the harassment of any remaining Jews in Canada.

It would take me 10+ more years of work to save the amount that is likely to be taken via the departure tax.

Is this moral? Ethical? Just? In any case, off to bed. Tomorrow is a new day.

[jean-francois therrien @traderjeff31]

@GadSaad I am right now feel the exact same pain as you. I am waiting an approval for an e2 visa.

As a real estate investor, it cost me a lot of money to leave too. I am paying almost the same tax as if i was selling my building but i am not….. ridiculous
