@TaeSpencerTanzi @jeffcanadamson @ddebow Thats because they build and start here then immediately move to the US where there is a larger customer base and funding pool that can take advantage of. I don't see it improving unless you split the continent

@jeffcanadamson @ddebow Which means less regulatory capture, and a more than competitive tax rate for scaling businesses. 4th in the world at starting 24th at growth past 3years. Our tax system incentivizes staying small.

There are around 5K-10K people in Canada that pay the equivalent in taxes of a combined 15.5M Canadians. Around $17bn in total, per year. It would be good for Canada if we doubled this number, not by increasing taxes, but by growing the whole pie. To do this, we need more many, many more entrepreneurs.

@fishninetyseven Doesn’t matter if the intention is good or bad what they are doing is what they are doing. Doesn’t matter if I stole bread to feed my family I still stole bread.

@Efgubbthereturn “can i also hunt endangered animals without a permit as much as i want” the phrasing of your argument is bad intentioned. You are saying this like Indigenous people are greedy and exploitative and wipe out entire animal populations. This is not the case.

You’re right. Places like Nunavut are CHOCK FULL of vegetation. Let’s force the evil despicable people living there to stop whale hunting. Because clearly there is no modern use for it!

@fishninetyseven What’s the difference between them and me what’s makes mine exploitative if I’m eating it all vs them

@Efgubbthereturn You are saying this from an exploitative perspective. I am not going to entertain an argument that is clearly with malicious intent

@R89Capital Bro said UAE 😂😂😂😂✌️

Canada joining the EU would force me to finally abandon this country for the US or UAE

@fishninetyseven Answer the question , your argument is lack of arable farmland and food deserts. I would also face that when I move there.

@Efgubbthereturn Obtuse as fuck

@Highly_Cynical @Ben_oharabyrne Because we share grids, other regions of Canada are net exporters vice versa. It’s why the system is good can help pick up slack to help each other.

@Ben_oharabyrne . Allow me to remind you, BC is a net importer of electricity from the US, at least for the past couple of years…🤔

Now if only the US had a truly reliable source of aluminium from an electricity-rich ally and neighbour …

@SteveSmithskt8 @Andrew_Godman @marshallrichrds However they do have kamikaze drones for “small payloads” like this

@SteveSmithskt8 @Andrew_Godman @marshallrichrds They look more like this, typical quad copter design is too complicated for dive bombing

Clearly this is for dropping 2lb Gatorade bottles to your homies a few miles away and nothing else.

@SimplyGregster @twitandrewking No it won’t they will break contracts again

@twitandrewking Instead of blocking CKD from Stellantis we should be allowing them. It will kick start production and then you can move to local suppliers

It’s amazing how Canada once had its own car company that was so revered it was purchased by General Motors. The McLaughlin Motor Car Company, founded by Robert "Colonel Sam" McLaughlin & incorporated the McLaughlin Motor Car Company in 1907. By 1908, the McLaughlin Motor Car Company began producing Buick car bodies for William Durant, owner of the Buick Motor Company in Flint, Michigan. When Durant began manufacturing Chevrolets, the McLaughlin Motor Car Company also began producing them by 1915. The McLaughlin’s motorcar business was purchased by General Motors in 1918 and incorporated as General Motors of Canada. Now we are ordering out for Chinese. Wild.

@AndrewJWHaynes @Steppelord445 Of what lol

@Steppelord445 These are some of the most educated and hard-working kids on the planet. They usually go study and then work abroad. Them no longer being interested in Canada is a Barometer.

Kids in Singapore now openly joke that Canada is a province of India. None of them have any interest in studying or working in Canada any longer. They see it as a joke.

@Vader891330 @OgTheTerrible @_FucknBossChick @Create_Profit @yoxics Retard thinks he’s Einstein

@OgTheTerrible @_FucknBossChick @Create_Profit @yoxics Yeah… that’s how it works you retard 😭

Arky started stressing after having to pay $1,000 in Toronto, Canada for a Doctor to check his broken hand despite having health insurance in America 😭 "they said its $1,000 to just look at it, if you need medicine we are going to charge you extra on top of that"

@hellowo86792664 @DubiousCA “Competition”

@DubiousCA i think it might be bc we have seagram’s as competition in the us 😭

I have to laugh a bit when fics by American make it a special point of ppl in Canada buying ‘the exact brand of ginger ale Shane likes’ My sibling in fandom, it’s Canada Dry. It’s literally the most ubiquitous brand here. “You knew I liked cola and you got me COCA COLA? Wow!!”

@glenegrant @Sorcerer0fEld I’m pretty sure only Toronto has bodega lil bro

@Sorcerer0fEld You might want to check in with NYC on that claim as I am pretty sure in all my travels I have not gone to the over 10K+ in that city and a hell of a lot in LA, far more that Toronto. But check and let me know.

One thing that's unique to Toronto is the bodega. No other city has such a thing.

@cguilarte @danielfoch @1stGenCanadian Most 20-30 years old as temp, skilled workers are usually 30-40

@danielfoch @1stGenCanadian Are there studies on population mix? I know there is more people leaving than coming, but do we know their age, for example?

Liberal broken promises, 2026 edition: “No pipelines” = Keystone XL “No layoffs” = -35,000 public service “No privatization” = Private Airports “No fossil fuels” = +300km Enrbidge And I’m SO HERE FOR IT KEEP IT COMING

@schenn4jvr @Hezbolsonaro It’s Easter Toronto

@Hezbolsonaro Buffalo is western new york not upstate new york

My god. Mr. Carney, my people call out for freedom. Upstate NY must be annexed to Canada

@TraceyKent @Nasdad_TO @fordnation No it couldn’t

@Nasdad_TO @fordnation One “No” vote from the anonymous account 🙄

Hey @fordnation This could be us.

@Cappy_Nate @DAshworth37427 Now let’s talk redundancy

@DAshworth37427 Scaling has nothing to do with square footage. It has to do with speed. You're 10yrs for a single plant. I can produce more solar panels in 5yrs, than the entire global grid (9,000GW). If you start now, your single plant (4GW) will be about half done. Can't scale.

Nuclear can't scale. Global nuclear only added 31GW/yr during the 1980's peak. Solar is adding this every 3 weeks. Wanna be an energy superpower? Nuclear won't achieve it.

@jbsteinberg How about we ban all cars from king to Bloor

The RapidTO lanes exemplify the zero-sum mindset that has infected urban policymakers in North America. This example is especially egregious because there's so much obvious low-hanging fruit that would get everyone---cars, buses, streetcars & bikes---moving faster and more safely. Here are some easy, quick, and cheap steps that would reduce congestion for everyone: 1. Eliminate ~30% of streetcar & bus stops. No less than 500m between stops. Why the hell do we need stops at Bathurst & Harbord AND Bathurst & Ulster? It's crazy. 2. Eliminate left turns from all arterials (not just select ones) between 7am-7pm. College, Bathurst, Dundas, Queen---all of them. 3. Dedicated right-turn signals for cars (pedestrians can't cross) at all intersections on arterial streets. 4. Longer left turn signals. It's ridiculous that only 3-4 cars get through on major intersections. There are often 10+ cars waiting to turn left from Spadina onto Queen. 5. Eliminate push-to-illuminate-crosswalk buttons on arterial streets. Relegate them to minor streets only. Pedestrians can cross at traffic lights on major streets. 6. Streetcars don't open doors on green lights. They let traffic move and wait until lights turn red to let passengers on & off. Longer term, I'd make more arterial streets one-way like Adelaide and Richmond. Ideally, only University, Spadina, Jarvis, and Lakeshore should have two-way traffic. This is more expensive, of course. But it would do wonders.

@rcarnold1 @CanEnergysupAB @MPelletierCIO You have had a negative -3.1 growth, worship my feet you amerimutt

@CanEnergysupAB @Efgubbthereturn @MPelletierCIO my guy you had .02% GDP growth take every penny you can.

Hey Canada, how’s that MOU working out?
