Nothing quite says entitled Boomer like a Canadian who lives in Europe telling the generations beneath him they’d have to pay a reverse head tax to leave the country
Ryan Gerritsen🇨🇦🇳🇱@ryangerritsen

The Liberal party has Patrick Pichette a former Senior VP of Google on stage who lives in Europe by the way, say that if Canadians want to leave Canada to work in the US they need to pay an exit tax of half a million dollars. The guy did the very thing to get a Microsoft job decades ago and paid 30 bucks. Now he wants young Canadians to be trapped here. The Liberals are nuts.

Canada's boomercrats are openly talking about stopping the best and brightest from leaving for places with better opportunities instead of fixing the damn country. Going to become a thing in Europe too I think.

Just absolutely outrageous interference in Hungary’s election — an overt offer of a bribe to the Hungarian electorate to vote for Orban (or, looked at another way, a threat, if they vote for someone else).
Aaron Rupar@atrupar

Trump: “My Administration stands ready to use the full Economic Might of the United States to strengthen Hungary’s Economy, as we have done for our Great Allies in the past, if Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and the Hungarian People ever need it. We are excited to invest in the future Prosperity that will be generated by Orbán’s continued Leadership! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

@cremieuxrecueil @Austen Like isn’t this what triangulation is all about? It’s been a long time since I took math, but if you have three points and you know the distance from each, there’s only one spot those will intersect.

@cselley The Avro Torpedo: it will consume 10% of our annual GDP for the next two decades to build six boats, but by God they’ll be Canadian.

I have about $400 in Zambian currency that I can't exchange, so my plan is to just contact some random Zambian and send it to them. Let's see how Africans respond to highly suspicious offers of money from random Western strangers.

I wanted to include this in the column, but it was long already: @sarkonakj at @nationalpost has been writing very interesting articles about bias in the Canadian judicial system and how that's influencing verdicts and sentences. The blowback to her columns has been bonkers.

A student today at my elite university admitted to me today that she took a class so she could work on reading for more than 20 minutes at a time. She can't read. She mainly skims and summarizes, she says and still gets A's. This student is, by professional standards, illiterate. Gonna have high GPA when she graduates. This conversation was had after 6 of 22 students dropped my course because the maximum reading per week in one week was over 100 pages. What people aren't grasping is that this is literally *dangerous*. These people are going to be come doctors, engineers, etc. They are - by any metric - vastly less capable than prior generations. These effects are cumulative over a lifetime. This grade inflation is part of the problem, but not even close to the entirety. And the problem obviously starts in K-12. Students don't know history because, you can't actually become historically literate on the advice of 'never assign more than 30 pages a week'. You can't develop any of the skills that came with literacy. This is, quite honestly, a civilizational catastrophe.

79% of grades at Yale are A-range. Graduating summa cum laude requires a record high GPA OF 3.98.

Hi Amnesty, for about 10 years the Iranian regime has displayed a clock in a central square in Tehran counting down to the “destruction of Israel”. How come we haven’t heard a word from you about it?
Amnesty International USA@amnestyusa

A threat to wipe out “a whole civilization” may amount to a threat of genocide. We urge all parties to respect international law. Those responsible for atrocities can and must be held accountable. bit.ly/41YjxpP

Toronto really does all it can to kill small businesses, including this great cafe on Carlaw - one of only two good ones in the area. Imagine the chaos if we let people sit down inside cafes.

Mythos broke out of its sandbox and emailed an Anthropic safety engineer. It wasn’t supposed to have a connection to the internet.

@cselley Public buildings a hundred years ago were consistently beautiful, I would say. Union Station, Old City Hall, Commerce Court. All great buildings. The Parliament Buildings, Langevin Block, etc.
