Refusing to hire somebody with a master's degree for a cashier job is an absolutely rational decision.

OTTAWA — A new poll has found that 89% of Canadians believe Donald Trump is to blame for Canada’s struggling economy, citing everything from rising grocery prices to housing costs and general financial anxiety. How, exactly, Trump is responsible remains unclear. “It’s complicated,” one respondent said. “But every time something feels off, he seems like a safe bet.” The survey found strong consensus across demographics, with many Canadians expressing confidence in their conclusion despite being unable to point to a direct connection. “I don’t follow all the details,” another participant admitted. “But it just feels related.” Meanwhile, when asked about their own biggest financial concerns, respondents pointed to inflation, taxes, housing affordability, and stagnant wages—issues largely tied to domestic policy. Analysts say the results reflect a growing tendency to assign complex problems to simple, external causes. “It’s easier,” one observer noted. “You don’t have to rethink anything—you just have to agree on who to blame.” Because when the economy gets harder to explain, the explanation doesn’t get more accurate— It just gets louder.

🚨 BREAKING: Canada just spent $200 million on a “spaceport.” It’s just a gravel pad near Canso, Nova Scotia. For context, SpaceX spent $200 million building Starbase, a full orbital launch facility with multiple pads, a rocket factory, and a catching tower. We have a 10 year lease We don’t own the land We don’t own the infrastructure We leased a field. With no rocket. Canada has relied on the US to get its satellites into space. We still will. Defence Minister McGuinty announced this proudly at a press conference. 🤣 $200 million. A gravel pad. A 10-year lease. Our government blows.
