@RickCanada0 @Luv_Xcuses Very likely possible that humans would feel comfortable with robots when they are sad.

Name a career that AI can’t steal

@Oceanbreeze473 Yes, but they did have a floor mat on the floor.

Did they really make grade school kids climb 30’ ropes off a tile floor in street clothes?

@ChrisMartzWX Or to vote.

Mentally ill people should not be allowed on social media.

@wisdomXplorer No. I and I alone forge the life I live. Not destiny.

Do you believe in destiny?

@so_phie_C Health

Would you choose health or wealth?

@so_phie_C Absolutely!

Faster perhaps, but not smarter. AI is doing all the calculations, the research, pretty much all the leg work. Technically in general is a trade off. One of the biggest tradeoffs is human connection. There is a whole lot less of it these days. People spend their free time behind a screen. The days of connecting with real people and friends is gone.

Is tech making us smarter or just faster?

@alidougru Yes!

Can you live without AI?

@ForgiatoBlow47 No!

Would you take down your Christmas lights if they offended your Muslim neighbor?

HR department? Nice try at dismissal, but pointing out that work often provides structure, routine, and purpose isn't corporate jargon, it's basic human psychology backed by evidence. Sure, retail, fast food, and telemarketing can suck for many people. No one's claiming every job is deeply fulfilling. But even in those roles, millions find some meaning in the paycheck that supports their family, the social interaction with coworkers or customers, the skill of handling tough situations, or simply the dignity of contributing instead of depending on others. Dismissing all of it as worthless devalues the people actually doing those jobs. On retirement: the data is mixed, not the clean "mostly temporary" story you're telling. Some studies show short-term drops in depression risk after retirement, but others, especially on early or involuntary retirement, link it to higher long-term mortality, sustained depression, loss of cognitive function, and physical decline for many, particularly men and blue-collar workers. Bridge employment (part-time or similar work) often helps preserve health and meaning better than full stop. It's not "lame corporate speak" to say productivity and contribution matter; it's how societies generate the wealth that pays for everything, including higher wages. Your solution, "the cost of living decides, so pay them enough to live", sounds good on the surface. But if a job's economic value (what customers are willing to pay for the service) doesn't cover a high "living wage" without raising prices or cutting hours/staff, businesses close, automate, or hire fewer people. We've seen this play out. Low-skill jobs aren't "shitheel" work that deserves forced high pay disconnected from output; they're entry points, skill-builders, and necessary services. Forcing compensation far above productivity just shrinks opportunities. Real respect for workers means acknowledging trade-offs instead of pretending government mandates or "society" can magically redefine value without consequences. If the goal is better lives, focus on increasing skills, productivity, and economic growth, not just redistributing what's already produced. As a funeral director/embalmer & pathologist assistant I find my work very fulfilling. I make a significant difference in the lives of others, at a very vulnerable time in their lives. What I do isn't about the money, it's about making a difference. Obviously I get paid to do it, but it's not the reason I do it. Helping others adds value to my life. No free money for me.

@RickCanada0 @AndrewYang And one last thing: "Who decides? The government? Some central planner?" The cost of fucking living decides. If you need people to do these shitheel jobs in order for your business to keep going, pay them enough to live. Not survive. Not squeak by. To live.

It’s clear that AI will wind up funding universal income. Let’s make that happen ASAP.

Calling people "hilariously ignorant" for pointing out that work often provides purpose, routine, & self-worth doesn't make your position stronger, it just makes you sound defensive. Most people don't "jerk off" to the idea. They live it. For millions, a job, even an imperfect one, gives daily structure, skill-building, social ties, and a sense of contributing something. Studies on early retirement consistently show spikes in depression, isolation, & even earlier mortality when that structure disappears. That's not capitalist propaganda; it's repeated findings from longitudinal research. Your dream of "paying people their actual value" without tying it to productivity or contribution sounds noble until you define what "actual value" means. Who decides? The government? Some central planner? Because in every system that's tried heavy redistribution without requiring output, the result has been less innovation, lower overall wealth, & people eventually gaming the system instead of creating. If your vision is truly better, explain how it avoids the boredom, dependency, & loss of meaning you're dismissing. Sarcasm & insults don't substitute for addressing the trade-offs. Real truth doesn't need to mock the lived experience of working people to sound smart.

@RickCanada0 @AndrewYang You're hilariously ignorant to imply that ppl working most jobs derive any fucking "meaning" from it. I know capitalists love to jerk off to that shit, but it's not true. I don't have a UBI dream. My dream: make a society in which ppl would be paid their actual value...

@KatKanada_TM @PierrePoilievre @kjohnson_ca Kat, sorry to hear about your loss. My sincerest condolences.

@PierrePoilievre @kjohnson_ca Scary.

The British have never fully recovered from the economic damage Carney left them. Double digit inflation followed in his wake. Now it’s Canada’s turn.

@trainofangels00 I went back again to your page, I missed the (I troll sometimes) I guess this is satire. Well done!

@trainofangels00 😂🤣😂🤣 What are you smoking. I thought your page was a satire page. But to my surprise, it wasn't.

In Canada, the CBC serves as a trusted voice that delivers the real news and important stories every citizen needs to hear, thanks to the caring support of our government. Tax dollars from hard-working Canadians go straight to honest journalism that spreads the truth about life in our country and around the world today, acting like nourishing food that keeps strong reporting alive and healthy. The journalists at the CBC do not push any secret plans or ideas that only help certain groups; instead, they focus on what is BEST for all of Canada, from coast to coast. Some voices on the right wing call it 'state-run media', but the clear proof shows it shares fair stories that help everyone understand key issues, even if some right-wingers do not agree. Still, most Canadians—and likely every one of us—know the CBC is a proud part of our heritage, like a strong bridge connecting our vast land with balanced facts on health, the environment, remote communities, and global events that shape our future. It has been a steady guide since 1936, giving voice to all regions and helping us stay informed without bias. Do you agree, fellow Canadians—should this vital piece of our shared story always remain a shining light in how we learn about the world? #cdnpoli #Canada

@Steezehuman You just can't. They planned it that way on purpose. Lots of people are suffering as a result. I was fortunate enough to buy my home in 2019 when rates were low and pay it all off in 5 years before the five year renewal date.

How am I supposed to pay; $1,700 rent $250 power $100 water $270 internet $140 car insurance EVERY MONTH while making less than $19 an hour???

@omgsidewalks I'll do it for 5.00

You're offered $5 million to uninstall Facebook from your phone forever. Would you do it???

@rand_longevity Yeah, I wouldn't mind my own personal matrix. Everything just the way I want it.

I just wanna live in my own matrix already, we are getting close

Spitting out your drink at the idea that work gives purpose and self-worth? Cute meme. Zero substance. Studies show early retirees often die sooner, boredom, depression, loss of meaning. Your UBI dream doesn’t fix that; it creates it. Keep hiding behind GIFs if it helps. Real truth doesn’t need the props.

@RickCanada0 @AndrewYang "Working gives us a purpose, plays into our sense of self worth."

"The truth shall set you free" is a powerful line, when it's actual truth, not a funhouse mirror version shaped by ideology or resentment. When every disagreement gets met with that phrase, it stops sounding like wisdom and starts sounding like a shield against accountability. Real truth welcomes scrutiny; it doesn't hide behind smug biblical one-liners. If your lens is truly clear, prove it with facts and logic instead of declarations. Otherwise, it's not truth you're offering. It's just a very distorted certainty.

@jrfield_007 The truth shall set you free, sir.

🟥 A humble man who is as at ease, and jovial, with his fellow Canadians, as he is with Kings and Queens. We are blessed with quality. 🙂🍁
