@provisionalidea You are wrong about this. Capital simply flows to opportunity risk adjusted. Regulation is the biggest factor in the risk equation and creates huge error bars. Regulation trigger happy places cannot compete for capital because of this. Even before the regulation hits.

@FrancoAdamo1122 @Martyupnorth @CigsMake Thank you

Unfair criticism IMO, Terry. His response is reasonable and modulated both in tone and substance. He focusses on an important legal principle, ie private property, points out that these cases going back several years have not been well managed by the Crown (true), says people are concerned (true,) and that the GoC has responsibility to address their concerns (true.) You and I probably read the legal situation in BC differently, but that aside, this seems to me like a fairly straightforward and even anodyne response.

NEW - New BC poll by Innovative Research Group has decided voters at: 47% - BC Conservatives 39% - BC NDP Tracking shows major drop in NDP support since fall Indigenous court cases, Rustad departure, and what pollster says is least popular BC budget since Gordon Campbell's HST.

Our ancient English liberty.

NDP literally this morning: We had no idea about this at all Hours later: Yeah, we were literally at the signing of the agreement. What else is David Eby hiding? Did he accidentally sign something and not even remember?

I see some people are upset about my characterisation of Daniel Tyrie and his "Dominion Society" as racist. They claim that he is "just questioning mass immigration," and to do so is not racist. I agree that questioning or opposing "mass immigration" is not racist. And engaging in serious, good faith debate about immigration policy isn't racist either. I have long opposed "mass immigration," if by that we mean the irresponsible levels of the Trudeau government, or large scale illegal migration, as seen in the US and Europe in recent years, etc.. For years I have called for a steep reduction of Canadian immigration levels to correspond to our capacity to settle and integrate people. I've done so in public debates, media commentary, social media, etc. As Canada's longest serving Minister of Immigration, I implemented the most wide ranging and profound reforms to strengthen Canada's system in decades, tackling all forms of fraud and abuse, improving the selection of newcomers, focussing on the duty to integrate, etc.. Despite overheated rhetoric from the open-borders left (No One Is Illegal et al,) none of that was racist. To the contrary, it was essential to maintain public support for immigration as a positive factor in Canadian society. But all of that is perfectly irrelevant to my claim that Tyrie and his group are racist, which is blindingly obvious. Tyrie and his group: - Are not just opposed to "mass immigration," but to ANY immigration. It says so on their website, where they call for a "total moratorium on all immigration for a minimum of 10 years." - Their core demand is "remigration," including "mass deportation" of *millions* of permanent residents who were invited to immigrate to Canada legally, plus naturalized Canadian citizens, particularly those who are not "heritage Canadians." That's obviously a euphemism for people of white European ancestry. (It's unclear whether they regard indigenous people whose ancestors have lived here for millennia as "heritage Canadians.") - Tyrie and his group are clearly associated with, and applaud the efforts of "Second Sons of Canada," who cosplay as a weird ersatz paramilitary group (think ANTIFA for right wing incels,) masked and dressed in black while protesting for "remigration." - Tyrie and his group obsessively use images of turbaned Sikhs in their agitprop, obviously because turbaned Sikhs are the most visible of visible minorities. They mock Conservative Deputy Leader Tim Uppal as "Turban Tim." - Of course there isn't even room for basic human compassion in their racial hatred. One day after the Tumbler Ridge massacre, Tyrie's wingman Max Genest posted the following on X about a beloved twelve year old black child who was murdered: "Abel Mwansa - Remigration would have saved his life." That kind of hatred is a sickness of the soul. So those who claim that Tyrie et al are "just asking questions about mass immigration" are being wilfully blind, totally disingenuous, or worse. Yes, we need space for a robust debate on immigration policy and related areas, because demography is destiny. Yes, the accusation of "racism" is made all too often to shut down that kind of debate. I should know, as I've been the frequent target of such defamatory claims by the far left for decades. But fear of limiting good faith debate should not prevent us for calling out real racism when we see it. Because racism, ie hatred for or unjust treatment of people because of their race or ethnicity, is immoral. Making these distinctions is especially important for those who have sincere concerns about sustained "mass immigration," or balkanization and ethnic enclaves vs integration and social cohesion. As I frequently argue, the Trudeau government's spectacular mismanagement of the immigration system damaged Canada in many real and obvious ways, not the least of which was the reversal of a broad public consensus in favour of a properly managed, rules based system. The antics of extremists like Tyrie et al are not only morally, legally, and politically wrong. They also make it harder to actually have the serious debate Canada needs on these critical, difficult issues.

Our hearts remain with the families of Tumbler Ridge. Across the province, British Columbians have been showing their support to the families. The Red Cross has launched an appeal to help those affected by the devastating events. More info here: give.redcross.ca/page/26TRTA?_l…

To the families in Tumbler Ridge who woke up today without someone they love, Canada mourns with you.

Tumbler Ridge Strong🕯

@garrytan Thank you!

Oh Canada, don't call it a comeback! Thanks for your feedback. 🍁

After hearing feedback from Canadian founders in our network, we’ve decided to add Canada back to our list of accepted countries of incorporation. Going forward, YC will once again invest in US, Canada, Cayman, and Singapore corporations. ycombinator.com/blog/adding-ca…

I sincerely hope that mine is just one of many portraits of Prime Ministers from both parties that will continue to be hung in the Parliament of Canada for decades and centuries to come […] but that will require that in these perilous times both parties whatever their differences, come together to preserve the independence and unity of this blessed land.

This is so great! A repudiation of the dogma amongst teachers unions & education faculties that young people can’t grasp real literature; and a wonderful antidote to the groyper / alt right message of anger & alienation. Truth, goodness and beauty are far more appealing to young people searching for meaning than nihilism and anger.

This is clear interference in Canada’s domestic affairs. It crosses multiple lines. In 1967, Canada expelled French President Charles de Gaulle for expressing support for the division of our country. That is the kind of strength that will be required if the Trump Administration is involved in trying to tear Canada apart. Ottawa should telegraph to the White House that if they get more involved in trying to divide Canada, we will respond with serious reprisals, and form a coalition of allies as Denmark did so effectively when it forced Trump to backdown on his threats to annex Greenland.

@garrytan Thank you for the important clarification! I still think it would be better for Canada if we could keep our startups incorporated here. The onus falls on our governments to make it easier for entrepreneurs to take business risks and compete with American startups

@KenneyConor THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NOT CORRECT. We will continue to fund a ton of Canadian startups, it's just that 100% of them should do a flip to a topco that is Delaware C. You can still operate in Canada, it just increases access to capital by at least 2X or more.

For those who missed it, Y Combinator stopped accepting Canadian startups. Why? Because they found that Canadian startups would just move to the USA if they saw any success. Why? Because businesses need an enterprise-friendly environment to compete and build the best product
