@unusual_whales The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 is what led to the Great Depression and the shrinking of global trade as other countries also countered with their own tariffs. Sound familiar?

Trump: "You know, our country was the strongest, believe it or not, from 1870 to 1913. You know why? It was all tariff based. We had no income tax."

@unusual_whales The FED Reserve was implemented in 1913 and that is what actually weakened the country. Prior to this, there was no income tax, but with the private FED lending the US gov't money, interest had to be paid back on each dollar lent and that's why income tax was introduced.

@Buffone_Pino Holy cow! Pino, I hung out with you and Randy Broom in Grade 6 at DA Moodie. Sadly, I moved to Edmonton right after so lost track of you and Randy and so many others. It's nice to hear a familiar name after so long!!! 😀 Coincidentally, my grade 8 class also read Outsiders.

📚This novel was one of my favourite texts during intermediate years @DAMoodieIS! Can’t believe talented S.E.Hinton wrote this in her teenage years in late 1960s… and later turned into a great film, too. Thx to Grade 8 teacher, Mrs.Laurie, for bringing it to life for me!📖@OCDSB

@AndrewWR6 @TheTorontoZoo Probably a pic from the 1990's. McDLT's didn't exist prior to then.

@TheTorontoZoo $2.35 for a Big Mac in 1974 is wild. That's over $14.50 today. That's what I call Zooflation.

This weekend the flags at your Toronto Zoo will fly at half-mast to honour the memory of George Cohon who passed away November 24, 2023. Mr. Cohon was the founder of Mcdonald's Canada and in 1974 opened the world’s largest Mcdonald's at the Toronto Zoo.

@NorthMidNHS I'm happy to read about your newly announced Zero Tolerance Policy towards Racism. Sadly, one of your NHS nurses at North Mid, Heemowtee Chua, showed her True Colours when she went on a lengthy Racist and Hate-Filled Tirade of our property in Toronto, Canada. 😠

So excited to see Ballet Jorgen at #danceweekend19. I first saw their Nutcracker performance 10 years ago and have seen them many times since. (Yeah, my pic)
