“ Rivers do not drink their own water; trees do not eat their own fruit; the sun does not shine on itself and flowers do not spread their fragrance for themselves. Living for others is a rule of nature. We are all born to help each other. No matter how difficult it is… life is good when you are happy, but much better when others are happy because of you.”

@BillAckman I met my spouse by challenging him to a squash game as we were on the same ladder. “May I challenge you to a squash game” worked. I won and then I won a date. Now it’s been 32 years. Join a gym win/win 😎

I hear from many young men that they find it difficult to meet young women in a public setting. In other words, the online culture has destroyed the ability to spontaneously meet strangers. As such, I thought I would share a few words that I used in my youth to meet someone that I found compelling. I would ask: “May I meet you?” before engaging further in a conversation. I almost never got a No. It inevitably enabled the opportunity for a further conversation. I met a lot of really interesting people this way. I think the combination of proper grammar and politeness was the key to its effectiveness. You might give it a try. And yes, I think it should also work for women seeking men as well as same sex interactions. Just two cents from an older happily married guy concerned about our next generation’s happiness and population replacement rates.

BREAKING: After the release of an ad that caused Trump's tantrum ending trade talks with Canada, the original video of Ronald Reagan slamming tariffs has resurfaced. He called the new ad "fake." The original destroys Trump on tariffs. Share this widely.

BREAKING: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau just dropped a bomb on Trump. He speaks directly to the American people. He explains clearly the repercussions of Trump's Trade War on Canada, and exactly how it's going to cause tremendous pain to Americans. He is clear that Canada loves America and the American people and they want nothing to do with this. But it's Trump's doing, and his actions will cause immense damage to America.

@kevinolearytv 1) you are not wonderful 2) you don’t speak for Canada 3) check your facts. Please provide a source. 95% of Canadians don’t want anything to do with America under Trump 4) You’re not up to date on Canada. You and Trump have helped the liberals surge in recent days. 🇨🇦

This Canadian situation is unique. It's the beginning of a giant negotiation. 70% of aluminum comes in the U.S. is made in Canada for one singular reason. It's to get all the power. Aluminum requires electricity. We don't have any grid left for electricity. The signal here is let's get an economic union together. The Canadians aren't going to sell the country. That's not on the table. 43% of Canadians want to explore joining the two economies and become a behemoth and then take on China. Unfortunately, the one fly in the ointment right now is Trudeau government collapsed. He's not there anymore. So everybody's scrambling. We're waiting for the election in 90 days when new leadership. In the meantime, it's the premiers of provinces like Doug Ford in Ontario and Danielle Smith in Alberta that are taking all the heat and trying to negotiate this stuff because they're doing the most trading with the United States.

@acnewsitics @acnewsitics Or how about @ElectionsCan_E that ensures Canadians are on the voting list and our $1700 limit on personal election contributions and no corporate contributions allowed at all?

I am sure Canadians would love to give up their affordable education, full year of paid parental leave, abortion rights, and stronger financial institutions just to become our 51st state and worry about mass shootings at their kids schools and churches like the rest of us.

@StephenPunwasi How do you assure strong diplomatic ties with 🇺🇸 when the guy in the oval office is NUTS. There is no predicting what’s next

🇨🇦 needs to start assuring businesses they can maintain strong diplomatic ties w/🇺🇸. Quite a few ON founders now scrambling to move part of their biz to 🇺🇸 within 30 days. They almost shit themselves over how that negotiation was done. Literally 1000s of jobs leaving in weeks.

@ronmortgageguy It has felt like a recession for months. The market is not the economy. Add in advertising and marketing. I’ve had some clients lose their jobs in that industry (also related to AI concerns)

Some folks in Finance, Banking, Car Sales & Retail sure seem concerned Don't get me wrong, people aren't SCARED, I saw real fear in 1991 & again in 2008 & It don't feel like that yet But definitely not optimistic Why does adding massive numbers of new Canadians mask it? 3/

What If We Are Sorta In A Recession Right Now In Canada? But Adding 3M People in 3 Years & Endless Government Hiring Hides It? I am no statistician but it's sure as hell feels like a Recession in Ontario right now Lots of uneasy people out there in Real Estate, Construction 2/

@patgagnon_75 It’s a crazy and scary mystery but I think it shows the value of equal education which doesn’t happen in America. The only truth we have heard him utter is that he “loves the uneducated”

So, as a Canadian, I decided to watch the 2024 presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. Can anyone explain to me how this is supposedly a close race. Seriously, how is this possible.
