🚨 This is absolutely mind-boggling. What is happening in Ontario's real estate market?
Imagine buying a $1 million home. Your mortgage lender sends the funds to a lawyer to complete the transaction and pay off the seller's existing mortgage.
Except the mortgage never gets paid off. The money disappears.
According to an Ontario judge, this happened across 25 real estate transactions involving more than $18 MILLION in mortgage funds.
Not a single mortgage was properly discharged using those funds.
Now THREE GTA law firms have been placed into receivership amid allegations of mishandling client money.
The judge warns this could be just the "tip of an iceberg."
How deep does this go? Where were the regulators?

RIP Canadian youth entering the skilled trades.
First, encourage them to get trained. Then recruit from overseas for the same jobs.
Youth unemployment is high, yet we're expanding the labour pool.
Make it make sense.
Canada is looking for skilled tradespeople, including carpenters, plumbers and machinists, to help build homes, strengthen our workforce and support critical infrastructure across the country.
If you have the training, credentials and experience in the skilled trades we’re looking for, explore our immigration pathways and build your future in Canada: bit.ly/4uXwAoe

In so many cases, what happens in Europe eventually happens across the Atlantic. They are patient zero. We are running out of runway.

BREAKING: Nearly half of the girls cross-country team in Camas, Washington, just forfeited their race. They refused to compete against a boy. This is bravery. Vote YES on I-638 to stand with them. Video: @KnownHeretic

This is what’s being taught by the Toronto School Board.
Having mental and physical toughness, self sufficiency and being stoic are horrible traits of “toxic masculinity”
And people wonder why society is in decline….

brother you made Facebook one time and have been desperately trying and failing for 22 years to make something as successful again
Mark Zuckerberg says Apple's lack of innovation since the iPhone will lead to its decline
"They haven't really invented anything great in a while. Steve Jobs invented the iPhone, and now they're kind of sitting on it 20 years later"
"Year over year, I'm not even sure they're selling more iPhones at this point. Part of it is that each generation doesn't actually get that much better, so people are taking longer to upgrade"
"They built stuff like AirPods, which are cool, but they've thoroughly hamstrung the ability for anyone else to build something that can connect to the iPhone"
"I'm pretty optimistic that because they've been so off their game in terms of not really releasing many innovative things... eventually they'll get beat by someone"

As a former waterbomber pilot who used to lead an aerial firefighting fleet, I can tell you “send help” is an extremely dishonest framing by the Canadian government.
The Canadian government routinely blocks U.S. firefighting companies from attacking fires in Canada, while aggressively sending their government-subsidized aircraft to the U.S. to earn commercial rates from the U.S. taxpayer. It’s big business for them and they run it like a Chinese protectionist racket.

Russell Crowe on Gladiator 2:
‘They failed, and they failed because they didn’t understand what made the first film so successful: it had a moral core. Here’s the thing, most people want that. On the surface, they might go for entertainment, but if they’re going to love something and keep it with them forever, like that movie? …The love for that thing is because of its moral core. All guys want to be that man who can stay that strong, and all women want a man who can love them in that way.’

Netflix has operated the largest production studio in the last 15 years (Grok estimates over $135B in expenditure)
and there is basically no cultural legacy with any of the output.
No enduring brands, no iconic films, all the content will just be forgotten in the ether.
