Nous souhaitons aux communautés juives du Canada et du monde entier une Pâque pleine de joie. Chag Pesach Sameach!

A Nobel Prize winner spent his entire career proving that your brain lies to you constantly, and the most unsettling part is that the smarter you are, the more convincing the lies become. His name is Daniel Kahneman, and the research that earned him the Nobel Prize in Economics was not about markets or money. It was about the two systems running inside every human mind at all times, and why one of them is almost always in charge when you think the other one is. Here is what he found, and why it changes how you should think about every decision you make. Kahneman called them System 1 and System 2. System 1 is fast, automatic, emotional, and operates almost entirely outside your conscious awareness. It is the system that reads the mood in a room before you process a single word, that flinches before you hear the sound, that forms an impression of a stranger in milliseconds. System 2 is slow, deliberate, effortful, and exhausting. It is the system you engage when you do long division or carefully weigh a major life decision. The critical insight is not that these two systems exist. It is that System 2 is lazy by design, and System 1 runs the show far more often than any of us want to believe. The most dangerous finding in Kahneman's research is what he called the what-you-see-is-all-there-is problem. System 1 does not pause to ask what information might be missing. It builds the most coherent story it can from whatever data is currently available, then delivers that story to your conscious mind as a conclusion that feels like it was carefully reasoned. You experience the output of an automatic process as if it were the result of deliberate thought. The confidence feels earned. It almost never is. This is why cognitive biases are not character flaws. They are structural features of a brain optimized for speed. The availability heuristic makes you overestimate the probability of whatever comes to mind most easily, which is why people fear plane crashes more than car accidents and dramatic rare diseases more than the conditions that actually kill most people. The anchoring effect makes your judgment of any number heavily influenced by whatever number you heard first, even if that number was completely arbitrary. The halo effect makes your overall impression of a person contaminate every individual judgment you make about them, so the same resume gets rated more competitively when attached to an attractive photo. The part that Kahneman spent the most time on, and that most people resist the hardest, is what he called expert overconfidence. He studied stockbrokers, surgeons, military commanders, clinical psychologists, and financial analysts people at the absolute top of their fields with decades of experience and found systematic evidence that their confidence in their own judgments consistently exceeded the accuracy of those judgments. Experience in a domain does not eliminate cognitive bias. In many cases it amplifies it, because experts build elaborate mental models that feel comprehensive but are often just more sophisticated versions of the same shortcuts everyone uses. The most honest thing Kahneman ever said about his own research was that writing the book did not make him any less susceptible to the biases he spent fifty years documenting. He still felt the pull of every heuristic he described. The difference was not immunity. The difference was recognition, and the discipline to slow down in moments when the fast answer felt suspiciously easy. Knowing that your brain lies to you does not stop the lies. But it teaches you which moments deserve a second look before you trust the story you are already telling yourself.

C’étais un plaisir de sortir faire du porte-à-porte pour Danielle Martin, notre formidable candidate libérale dans la circonscription de University—Rosedale, en vue de l'élection partielle du 13 avril prochain ! Rappel : le vote par anticipation aura lieu les 3, 4, 5 et 6 avril !

Ce soir marque le début de Pâque juive, un moment sacré où les communautés juives d’Oakville et d’ailleurs dans le monde se rassemblent pour célébrer la liberté, la famille et des traditions bien ancrées. À toutes celles et ceux qui célèbrent, Chag Pesach Sameach! חג פסח שמח!

Great to get out and knock on doors for Danielle Martin, our amazing Liberal candidate for University—Rosedale in the upcoming by-election on April 13! Reminder: advance polls are on April 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th!

Watching the artemis 2 launch coverage and how can you not be amazed at humanity

Chaque année, les @GairdnerAwards récompensent l'excellence en recherche médicale. Fières de nos deux lauréats canadiens, Karen Maxwell et Aaron Phillips. Au Canada, nous savons que la recherche sauve des vies, stimule l'innovation et renforce notre économie. Félicitations !

Each year Canada’s @GairdnerAwards honours the best of medical research. Proud of our two Canadian laureates, Karen Maxwell and Aaron Phillips. In Canada, we know research saves lives, drives innovation, and strengthens our economy. Congratulations!

Congratulations to my friend Jeremy who is so deserving of this moment. We are so proud to have you represent Canada on the Artimis II mission.

A historic moment for Canada! 🚀 Artemis II launched at 6:35 pm (ET). CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen becomes the first Canadian to lift off for a mission around the Moon. Make sure to follow us to stay updated during the next 10 days!  🌕

J’ai rencontré le président Sung Kim du groupe @HMGnewsroom afin de faire avancer de nouvelles occasions d’investissement : davantage d’investissements coréens au Canada dans les secteurs de la défense, de l’hydrogène et de l’automobile. 🇨🇦🇰🇷 Le Canada est le seul pays de l’hémisphère occidental à disposer de l’ensemble des minéraux critiques nécessaires à la fabrication des batteries de véhicules électriques. Nous comptons parmi les principaux fournisseurs mondiaux des matériaux qui alimentent l’économie propre, soutenant des milliers d’emplois dans les secteurs minier et énergétique. L’occasion est claire : le Canada est l’endroit pour investir.
