@BryanZelitt @SiNuTrmon Well, I've never been to Florida for starters. Only do trips to America in the fall or winter to avoid the heat. It does get hot here sometimes. We have a handful of +30C days a year, but they suck.

@_GenerationWhy_ @SiNuTrmon +30C is legit standard weather in American summers or Florida 350 days a year. How on earth does that kill you?

@YukonStrong @CCFR_CCDAF I promise you the SCC hearing this appeal is not a good thing.
All that is going to happen is the SCC is going to permanently expand the powers of an already too-powerful federal cabinet and further diminish the role of the legislature in our society.
English
Congratulations to @CCFR_CCDAF!
This case will reveal 3 things:
1. If property rights are even possible at all in a united 🇨🇦
2. If “parliamentary privilege” overrides evidence, precedent & legal procedure
3. The level of ideological corruption in the current SCOC

Yeah but it's a risk to scalpers to do that and they can only inflate the price to a level which people are still willing tocpay. They will only succeed in profiting if demand for the event outstrips supply.
If professional scalpers buy up all the tickets and the show wasn't going to naturally sell-out, they'll be left dumping the tickets for less than the original purchase price -- which is a win for consumers.
English
@_GenerationWhy_ @cselley It doesn't work because bots and professional scalpers buy up all the tickets artificially inflating the price.

For the sweet love of God...

NEW - The Ford government will outlaw selling tickets for more than face value. It says new legislation to soon be tabled would make it illegal for tickets to concerts, cultural, sports and other live events in Ontario to be re-sold for more than their original cost.

@PaulSkallas Yeah, people like to think they are in control but they largely aren't. Things just happen. Genetics. God will take you when he's ready, not when you're ready.

Is eliminating consumer surplus the worst sacrifice? More effective allocation of resources. Also means new segments of the demand curve will be captured at lower price points, so some people will pay lower prices than they would have without algorithmic pricing (this already happens somewhat with coupons and discounts).
English
Individualised pricing breaks the classical assumptions of free and competitive markets:
-asymmetric information
-competition is now over data, not price
-clearing price set for each individual, not for the market itself
-this can effectively eliminate consumer surplus
David Coletto 🇨🇦@DavidColetto
Dynamic pricing has existed for years. Airlines and hotels have used it forever. But Canadians react very differently when prices might change based on who you are, your data, or your browsing behaviour. That is where public skepticism kicks in. Our new research: abacusdata.ca/canadians-are-…

@CTVNews It is not always "good" for the loser that the SCC hears an appeal. Often the SCC will hear it because they want to cement as law of the land the ruling and reasons of the lower court. It's a way to shut the book on future lawsuits.

@GordTulk @jkenney Gord, you should check out this presentation on the state of Canadian capital markets to the Senate committee on Banking & Commerce.
It is impossible for companies to finance growth in Canada anymore, so almost all young companies are running to the US.

This👇 is an important point.
Focussing solely on population growth numbers is misguided.
We need to focus on the outflows (brain drain) as well as inflows, and on human capital.
Canada’s immigration system used to be a “high human capital model,” which was the secret to its success. We emphasized advanced education, relevant work experience, official language proficiency, etc.
During the Trudeau years our immigration system was turned on its head into one that privileges people with low levels of human capital.
Add to that the departure of many of our brightest young people for greener pastures.
It all adds up to a real long term problem that will deepen our decline in productivity and prosperity.

Which demographics of Canadians are leaving Canada? >67% of the are 20-44 year olds. >3x more likely to be in Sciences than avg population. >31.1% have a masters degree. >61.4% left to the US. In other words, it's Canada's youngest, most talented and educated population.

@ComicDaveSmith Power does something to people. We see it over and over and over again. It has permeated our stories since time immemorial. Yet, we're shocked anew every single time a new example emerges.

If there was an imminent threat from Iran, Tulsi’s answer would have been: yes. It’s as simple as that. She wouldn’t have tied herself into pretzels with the ridiculous claim that only a President can determine that. She literally puts out an annual threat assessment.
The plain fact is that she lied. She’s lying us into a war that her career was supposedly dedicated to avoiding . I was wrong last summer, she’s substantially worse than Colin Powell. She’s a traitor to this nation.

@yuanyi_z All the people on X saying "I use AI to do all my contracts now" makes me think there is a lot of litigation work coming for lawyers.
Today ChatGPT 5.4 confidently told me the limitations period was 15 years for equitable claims.

This isn't true and I beg people to stop trusting AI for legal information as this is obviously AI.

I understand that new neighborhoods will not be mature enough to have wonderful canopy trees, duh.
But why are they (basically) not planting any trees at all? I think I see four or five baby trees?
A new neighborhood rarely looks good, but ones like this will NEVER look good.

@pierreluc78 @BrassicEyeRedux @CTVNews Yes. I could see it being a problem in a monopolistic marketplace, like utilities. But it's a good thing in a competitive marketplace because there will still be competitive price pressures.
