@XboxP3 @asha_shar I gotta be honest, I don't like the idea of @asha_shar taking over. She's the wrong person for the job.

I’m excited for @asha_shar as she steps into the CEO role. She’s joining an incredible group of people; teams full of talent, heart, and a deep commitment to the players they serve. Watching her lean in with curiosity and a real desire to strengthen the foundation we've built gives me confidence that our Xbox communities will be well supported in the years ahead.

It’s rare in life to know when a chapter is closing, but after 38 years at Microsoft, that moment has arrived for me. I’ve made the decision to retire and begin the next chapter of my life. It’s a milestone that’s given me a chance to reflect on the incredible journey I’ve been fortunate enough to share with so many of you.

@TaraBull Yes

Nintendo refused to give into the WOKE mind virus, now they are being accused of trans-phobia. Despite pressure to cast Hunter Schafer, they chose female actress Bo Bragason for the role of Zelda in The Legend of Zelda. Do you support Nintendo's decision?

@mt_pheasant @DanielTyrie @valdombre Donair is a Canadian invention isn't it?

@DanielTyrie @valdombre Don't you want another donair shop though?

Institute for Canadian Citizenship laments that some immigrants are heading home: "Canada grows older, and weaker, and poorer, and less interesting when talented immigrants...decide to leave"

@valdombre We need to get rid of the immigrants that contribute only to the crime rate.

@PolarisKenya @NICKIMINAJ I can appreciate the need for critical thinking in our world today, but visiting a place is not a prerequisite for education on an issue in that place. I don't need to go to Poland to believe the holocaust happened.

@NICKIMINAJ hey nicki, have you ever visited nigeria or any other African country?...or you are relying on western news like fox news to tell you about stories from Africa?

@ModuBodai @NICKIMINAJ I'm willing to hear you out. Please provide the data that validates your comment. Critical thinking involves hearing both sides.

@NICKIMINAJ Your claims of Christians genocide are baseless please always work with facts and figures.

@AssistantMadman @sana1998082801 @globeandmail I've worked with many very educated, skilled, and honest Indians. The difference is that they came here already educated, became legit citizens, and contributed to a country they love. The new batch is looked down upon by even the current Indian citizens.

@sana1998082801 @globeandmail Absolutely! If only Indians were skilled in anything besides scamming people.

Ontario cancels fast-track immigration program for skilled trades theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

@sana1998082801 @globeandmail We have enough skilled trades people here. At least we did. They got tired of being unemployed because their jobs were taken by TFWs and immigrants and left their respective province or left for the US.

@mews_box @CitImmCanada Canada has been accepting highly educated contributing immigrants for decades and has been better for it. Lately though, you're right, it's been an open door for bad acting characters that take and take and bring the problems that led to mass outmigration in their country.

@JohanXavier2 @CitImmCanada The government made rules of access easier for a country internationally known for fraud, scams, deception and forgery. Now they invaded the country and worsened every aspect of life. I'm not talking about the legit immigrants but about the fraudsters who are ruining Canada.

The latest data on temporary resident arrivals show that the number of new workers and students arriving in Canada continued to decline in September. There was a drop of about 17,500 (61%) new students and 12,100 (41%) new temporary workers compared to September 2024: bit.ly/4lHRG4M

@mews_box @CitImmCanada The diploma mills are getting out of hand. Public colleges are churning them out at record numbers. How can a college in a predominantly white town have classrooms 100% middle eastern?

@CitImmCanada Why don't you conduct a large scale audit on fraudsters who got to Canada using forged documents and diploma mills? They're simply running the country and are not worthy of living in Canada. Anyone who's got here through fraud should be sent home, simple.

@CitImmCanada So you're saying that there's a chance now that a Tim Horton's in a 100% white town will have someone that speaks English?

@Forouzzzzzz @CitImmCanada Apply as a TFW and work at Tim Hortons. You'll be fast tracked in no time.

@CitImmCanada Does Canada have any plans to accelerate endless background checks for #IranianPRapplicants ? Skilled Iranian applicants are stuck in this screening for years, while they have been selected by their province to apply for PR! #IranianPRdelays

Latest data now available: Between January and September 2025, Canada saw approximately 53% (308,880) fewer arrivals of new students and temporary workers compared to the same period last year: •60% (150,220) fewer new students •48% (158,660) fewer new temporary workers See the updated temporary resident arrivals data: bit.ly/4lHRG4M

@CitImmCanada Isn't that a good thing? The point of TFW is to fill job positions left empty by the lack of local workers. If less TFW are entering the country, that should mean more jobs are being filled by Canadian workers. As for students, are these vacancies now being filled locally?

@TheCriticalDri2 Mental illness has always been in Hollywood. Eating disorders as well. The intersection...none of them have minds of their own. They all follow whatever trend will boost their ESG score. If fat is in, they all put on weight. The next day, a new fad diet. Now they're all rakes.

There is genuine mental illness in Hollywood.

@theogseanyd @TheCriticalDri2 Who are you to tell a woman what to do!?!?

@TheCriticalDri2 Yeah they all look so malnourished now. Why doesn't anyone that loves them tell them.

@Bret_Sears It is sad that we're losing the highly skilled and educated immigrants, which contribute to our nation, and are left with the ones that are a drain on our social services and add to the ever rising crime rate.

The CEO of the Institute for Canadian Citizenship says the 5 year departure rate for all immigrants is 5%. For PHDs, it's 11% For health care workers, it's 36% For scientists, it's 36% With record shattering immigration levels, who are the ones that are actually staying here?

@ubiquitousnewt Traditionally speaking marriage certainly has always been the pursuit of the female first with the cliche that men avoid commitment and dread the thought of proposing and loss of autonomy. You speak about 50% of the topic. Men are avoiding marriage at the highest rates as well.

Marriage is less appealing now because the material benefits it once offered women have largely collapsed. 100 years ago it was the dominant route to financial stability, social standing, protection and adult recognition. Today a woman can earn her own income, live independently and access most of the benefits that once required marriage. Her rising status came from economic and technological changes that aligned with female strengths, along with contraception, education and legal reforms. With those changes, marriage no longer looks like a significant upgrade. It looks like a risk with fewer guaranteed returns. It has always been an absurdity to frame marriage as a happiness project. Historically, marriage was a practical institution for pair bonding, lineage, inheritance and the stable raising of children who are enormously costly emotionally and materially, and take a long time to become independent. Cultures enforced marriage through pressure, shame and obligation because that was how you secured cooperation between the sexes. Divine will was simply a justification for adaptive behaviour. Happiness inside marriage was a bonus; it was not the structural purpose. Feelings of love themselves are ancient, but the expectation that marriage should be founded on those feelings is comparatively modern; the rule that love must be the basis for choosing a spouse. That expectation only gains real cultural traction in Western Europe from the 17th and 18th centuries onward. Once industrialisation began lifting populations out of constant survival pressure, humans could focus beyond subsistence and onto the broader palette of emotional human experience. By the 19th C the idea of a “love marriage” spread more widely, and only in the mid 20th c does it become the default assumption that marriage ought to be romantic. Assortative mating remained robust throughout; people fell in love largely within the boundaries set by class, status and compatibility. What changed was the cultural script, not the underlying biology. Marriage was never designed for happiness; it was designed for stability. Only once its material function weakened did people begin to expect it to deliver emotional fulfilment instead. And so here we are. Women’s romantic feelings are evoked when she sees a man with an appropriate level of status. But if most men in her circle are on par with her or below her, then there are far fewer men able to impress her. Why bother? She no longer needs rescuing from poverty. She doesn’t need a husband for survival. If anything, she would like a partner who propels her further up the socioeconomic ladder and an increasing proportion of men can’t do that. So what happens now? When the old social norms around marriage weaken, marriage stops being a universal expectation and becomes a personality filter. The people least capable of stability, cooperation or long term planning simply do not marry at all and tend to have children with multiple partners. Those with slightly better traits may marry, but may not sustain it for life as intended. In the end, marriage is not disappearing, it is becoming concentrated amongst the successful. It becomes almost like an aristocratic custom; rare, elite, stable, high-investment and deeply stratified. A marker of competence rather than a rite of passage. For everyone else the pattern is fluid relationships, low stability, weak pair-bonding and falling fertility. Marriage survives, but only among the successful. I can’t say I would mourn the loss of marriage. If modernity is a selection event, then it simply reveals who can form and maintain long-term bonds under conditions of freedom. When the economic compulsion is removed, what remains are underlying dispositions: stability, foresight, self-control, reciprocity, emotional regulation. Those traits cluster unevenly. Long live the genetically blessed. In the end, marriage will not be saved by sentiment. It will be saved by selection.

@MarkJCarney Will you be observing #InternationalMensDay today to bring awareness not only to the contributions by men, but also to issues faced predominantly by men such as homeslessness, suicide, shorter lifespans, falling behind in education, systemic discrimination, etc.?

Le Canada établit de nouvelles relations commerciales partout dans le monde afin d’offrir de nouvelles possibilités aux entreprises et aux travailleurs canadiens.

@CanadianPM Will you be observing #InternationalMensDay today to bring awareness not only to the contributions by men, but also to issues faced predominantly by men such as homeslessness, suicide, shorter lifespans, falling behind in education, systemic discrimination, etc.?

Last week, Prime Minister Carney marked the opening of the second phase of REM. The fully electric system links the North and South shores to downtown Montréal. Projects like these demonstrate Canada’s ambition to build at the speed and scale this moment demands.

@LisaBritton Thank you @Evie_Magazine for recognizing #InternationalMensDay, lord knows @Google won't. Or our governments. @Canada @CanadianPM Or the UN. @UN @UNHumanRights @UN_Women

A message from Evie Magazine for International Men’s Day: “Evie is proud, maybe even a little lonely, to be the only major women’s publication that consistently covers male mental health, educational, and economic challenges without apology or caveat. We will keep doing it, because our sons, brothers, fathers, husbands, and friends deserve advocates too. Because strong men and strong women are not enemies; our partnership is the bedrock of humanity. So today we are not asking men to be anything more than they already are. We are simply saying: we see you. We love you. We need you, exactly as you are.” Read more here: eviemagazine.com/post/to-the-me…
