"Your [Jewish] grandparents would've voted for Zohran. Your grandparents were probably socialists because that's what most Jews from Eastern Europe in New York at the turn of the century were." @mollycrabapple speaks with @simonerzim about the history of Jewish socialism in NYC.

@SkaraBraeRanch Canada’s debt is not particularly high, the lowest in the G7. There are other reasons to question the wealth fund, including ones you name — it should be invested outside of Canada, and provinces should be required to put up all its assets from their petroleum rents

Liberals have been in charge 70% of the time for 125 yrs. The NDP barely registers a pulse. And Conservatives still suck oxygen thru a MAGA straw. Yes Canada, we are a one party country - no matter how hard some wish to pretend it's a contest. torontosun.com/opinion/column…

Nine years ago, @JustinTrudeau launched the Canadian Infrastructure Bank: It was "tasked with financially supporting revenue-generating infrastructure projects that are 'in the public interest' by catalyzing private investment." In 2026, the "new" @liberal_party gov't have found the solution to what's been holding Canada back: the lack of a "Sovereign Wealth Fund" that'll invest in infrastructure projects alongside the private sector! Norway has zero effective national debt; that's why it can benefit from a true SWF. Ottawa & the Provinces already owe $2.5 trillion in debt; borrowing more to "invest" is just another margin loan backed by our Grandchildren.

In a rare on-record statement, Sergey Brin tells me: "I fled socialism with my family in 1979 and know the devastating, oppressive society it created in the Soviet Union. I don’t want California to end up in the same place.” nytimes.com/2026/04/27/us/…
