Going through boxes 📦 from my Dad’s old office on Water St in Gastown. For years he was on the same floor as Bruce Allen and Red Robinson. If those Smokey bricks 🧱 could talk lol
I’m finding some quirky stuff and some predictable items.
Put one up on the wall for good luck.
This guy sounds like every spreadsheet watcher in a c suite with no clue how to service his customers.
This guy is beyond reproach.
This is so hard to watch. Vassy's got the finance minister on the run, but she just won't finish him off.
I'll do a thread on the budget tomorrow, complete with a decade of trends. You'll see how bad Ottawa's fiances are, and how none of his explanations make sense.
There's no World where adding $60 billion in deficit to an existing multi-trillion dollar dept makes sense, especially when we're never paying off the house (to use his analogy).
François-Philippe Champagne is a lawyer who spent years as corporate counsel at ABB and Amec. That’s it. No economics degree, no banking, no finance portfolio, no private-sector profit & loss responsibility.
Now he’s Finance Minister running $70-billion deficits and talking about “productivity” while debt service eats everything.
A guy who never managed a balance sheet is in charge of Canada’s. All he's got are pure Liberal credentials: loyalty, bilingualism, and a resume that looks impressive until you notice it has nothing to do with the job.

PODCAST: “The Union BC Indian Chiefs or the Assembly of First Nations, whether BC chapter or the federal chapter, do not speak or represent Aboriginal rights and title. Period.” — @ellisbross

Yesterday, Mark Carney announced the highest level of permanent immigration in Canadian history to help his corporate buddies who profit off mass immigration.
He tried to hide it.
This is a city roughly the size of Winnipeg next year alone.
Stop Carney's mass immigration.

Canada added ZERO private sector jobs from 2019 to 2024 under the LPC government. Between these years Canada recorded roughly 9.2 million admissions, new permits and asylum claims across permanent immigration, temporary foreign-worker, international-student and refugee/asylum channels.
Now this government is continuing to run a large top down driven budget and reopening the immigration again to massive levels.
Sell your Canada bonds.

The journalism tax credit now extends to Bell, Rogers, Corus and Quebecor: $501M over five years, $85M a year permanently. Nearly every major news organization now depends on federal support. Companies reliant on government are less likely to criticize it.

Wait a second, Canada’s population grew by 4 million in that period and 2.32 million of that growth was immigrants and no private sector jobs were added?
Canada is nuked.

Victoria Police Chief Fiona Wilson, the NDP's Josie Osborne, and Nina Krieger, among others, get their corrupt drug-checking company exposed

There hasn’t been a single concrete condo tower presale launch this year in Metro Vancouver. Literally zero. The entire business model is dead.

The bridge was always the cheaper option. Shame the NDP wasted 9 years redesigning for a tunnel.
Prime Minister Mark Carney's administration has backed Premier-elect Lorne Doerkson's pivot to building a new 10-lane George Massey Bridge.
There were previously some concerns federal funding would only support an immersed tunnel. #bcpoli #vanpoli #vanre

‼️NEW: Canada just dropped up to $1.6 billion of taxpayer cash on one of the worst-performing AI labs in the world.
- Cohere’s top model sits at #210 on the LMArena leaderboard...
The compute gap is brutal:
- Cohere: 8,500 GPUs vs xAI who is ramping up to 1.21 MILLION chips.
Cohere’s systems are 50–200× smaller than the frontier labs.
Another flop. Its the Lyon electric of AI.
Great story… Hugh would bring his devoted and inquiring students down behind my house on Brothers creek every year. He has been an ethical champion of the Wv Streamkeepers.

If you’re new to Vancouver, you might not know that fireworks and firecrackers on Halloween have been a tradition here for generations.
It’s part of our city’s culture and identity.
Some of you need to stop stripping away the things that make Vancouver unique and fun.

Some of Vancouver's restored vintage neon signs, some dating as old as 80+ years, have come alive in a new permanent public display area at The Post.
The neon signs will be displayed on a rotating basis. #vancre #vanre

Some of the nastiest election messages were delivered not by the NDP but by two of BC's biggest unions. My latest for @WesternStandard, link in comments.

The collapse of Reddit will be studied.
After reporting earnings, its stock collapsed 30% in a single day.
It's down 44% in 2 weeks.
But the most important detail is what was revealed in that earnings call.
The CEO said AI is killing Google search.
People no longer get sent to Reddit from Google. They merely get their answers from the AI Mode itself.
Even Google confirmed this themselves with their disastrous results - AI mode is cannibalising their search business.
Pretty soon, no one will visit Reddit voluntarily. Its traffic will continue to crater.
The worst part?
Reddit isn't alone. There are millions of companies and publishers that rely on search traffic.
That's what happens when you rely on a single funnel for discovery.

An internal B.C. RCMP document proves the police knew “safer supply” drugs were flooding the black market and fueling gang activity.
Publicly, officials downplayed the crisis; privately, they knew the truth, the National Post reports. 🧵👇(1/6)

I listened to this but I’m still unclear why neurodivergence caused this person to dress like a disco Fu Manchu bar mitzvah magician from planet vulcan
Looney Leftoids in Saskatoon, SK talk about neurodivergence like it’s real. However, neurodivergence is a branding exercise, not biology. Everyone’s brain is shaped by unique combinations of thousands of genetic variants. Attention, social processing, sensory thresholds, and executive function are all continuous traits. There is no natural “neurotypical” baseline, just statistical averages. DNA doesnt care about your hashtags and delusions
