We love to scapegoat elected officials, over the last few years I've seen "Fxxk Trudeau" stickers on gas pumps. Well he's gone, the carbon tax is gone, guess what isn't gone. The high price. Prices didn't change at the pump, that's 100% oil co price gouging.

There are days I get three calls claiming to be from Telus, and even if one is real, how could I possibly know the difference. Short of not answering the phone how do people protect themselves? @telussupport.bsky.social

Conservatives rage that Democrats didn’t stand for the cancer-stricken child Trump exploited—but they ignore his cuts to cancer research. Pure performative outrage.

Shocking, shocked I say, I'm shocked. American retailers will use the tariffs to leverage discounts from suppliers, while also raising prices at the till. Once prices go up, they tend to stay up.

I owe an apology to all James Bond movies. I mocked them for having completely unrealistic, cartoonish villains that simply weren't believable. 2025 has made it impossible to levy that criticism anymore.

It won't happen, the legal mechanism to strip citizenship is so arduous that I believe this was less a message for the CDN govt and more to Musk himself for whom CDN citizenship was one of convenience and a pathway to the United States.
