I know people on here think having a trillion dollars is fine but it is simply not possible to have any semblance of a democracy when wealth is concentrated like that: currentaffairs.org/news/you-cant-…

@EVANetcetera @gabriel_zucman Oh really? Where’s all the emotional leftist rage about Soros.? There is none because he pays all the unemployed communists to protest and agitate.

The utter collapse and humiliation of the members of the “Intellectual Dark Web” is really something to behold They all spend their days online getting spun into a tizzy about internet slop

Twitter isn’t real life part 1 trillion: 80+% of Americans want to raise taxes on the rich. 80% of blue check marks on here think asking the rich to pay even one dollar more in taxes is the greatest crime in history.

Also: many of the Liberals attacking Lombardi were GIDDY when Gladu and other Conservatives crossed the floor People on the record as anti-choice according to abortion rights groups. You're a right-wing movement now. Own it.
Christo Aivalis 🌹🍊@christoaivalis

Liberals who supported Carney but think Lombardi is a Conservative intruder are showing their politics is about vibes You already voted for a right-winger as federal leader. Lombardi is ideologically proximate to Carney He just talks a bit more like Poilievre.

@ddebow Have you considered that maybe they’ve heard it all before? Do you think a Stanford grad hasn’t heard several talks from tech CEOs? Have you considered this was a deliberate protest to send a message?

@EVANetcetera generally, it’s a good idea to listen and consider ideas before you protest them? especially ones you feel your priors might disagree with…

@InsiderTakes @tobi “Builders” is the most cringe-worthy term the C-suite and VC community have co-opted from people who do actual labour, and like, build things with their hands

Canada’s problem is that it doesn’t create enough billionaires like @tobi. A lot of Canada’s top fortunes are multigenerational, whereas in a high-innovation economy, they’d all be builders like Tobi.
Rachel Gilmore@atRachelGilmore

The Shopify CEO is an all time loser, up there with Elon. Just a mortifying wealth glutton. You can’t “make” this much money. You can only steal the fruits of others’ labour. The fact that billionaires exist — while Canadians can’t afford groceries — is a societal failure

Tech bros live in such an isolated bubble that they think everyone should be thrilled to hear a talk from yet another tech billionaire Let alone one that stood at the side of Trump during the inauguration, and who curried favour with Trump to drop Google’s antitrust case
Harley Finkelstein@harleyf

What a missed opportunity. Sundar Pichai’s journey from Chennai to leading one of the most important companies in the world is exactly the kind of story that can inspire the next generation of builders. You don’t have to agree with someone to learn from them.

@harleyf You think Stanford grads haven’t heard talks from tech CEOs before? Maybe they don’t want to listen to yet another billionaire who capitulated to the Trump admin, an administration that has been entirely hostile to universities and research Seems pretty reasonable to me

Stanford grads walk out as Google CEO Sundar Pichai takes the stage as commencement speaker. No mention of AI, unlike other uni speakers getting booed down this year. Story for @sfgate shortly

To my fellow grassroots Conservatives across this great province: thank you for your energy and commitment. Better health care starts with economic strength. A thriving private sector generates the revenue that sustains our public services. We will achieve this by unleashing British Columbia’s resources in partnership with Alberta and Saskatchewan through a bold Western Alliance. Strong families, strong jobs, and strong health care go hand in hand. Let us build that future together.

The first Polish immigrants arrived in Alberta in 1885. They came with nothing but resilience. They farmed, they built, they fought in two World Wars, and they stayed. 140 years later, over 170,000 Albertans carry that legacy. Proud to have introduced the bill making Polish Heritage Day official. Dzień Dziedzictwa Polskiego! 🇵🇱

I wish this would bring peace to the Middle East. It is doubtful though, especially with the Butchers of Tehran still in power and Iran coming out stronger from this war than they should.

Some of that in-group cattiness being aimed at Eric Lombardi for attracting an early broad coalition of interest and support is deeply unbecoming. Political theatre kids may not care about best idea wins, but normal people from all ends of the political spectrum do.

While it’s disappointing that @andrewaperez decided to backstab his friends, it’s nice to see that this generated more media coverage of @EricDLombardi’s campaign. As usual, Eric’s message was focused on policy and practicality, not purity tests. A real class act.

NEW: An Ontario Liberal leadership candidate who has been generating support in Conservative circles for his policy positions is pushing back against critics who are suggesting he’s attracting the wrong kind of attention to the party. globalnews.ca/news/11904275/… #onpoli

@EVANetcetera I get that it’s a polemic that will bring divided reviews. Just to your original point, there is no “collapse” for these characters. Saad is charting big time.

@KeepCanStrong “What the public wants” is immaterial to the politics that he is governing by How do you know understand this very simple concept? If Carney decided to deport all immigrants because the public ostensibly wanted it, that doesn’t just make it a “left” or “centre-left” policy

it's really astonishing how the NDP has failed entirely to understand why they lost party status or how public trust in left-wing candidates is mostly shattered
Kerch 🍉@matt_kercher

@KeepCanStrong He’s a centre right red Tory. His policies bore this out. He’s not going to be popular forever coasting of anti American vibes.
