@CynicalNycholas @newstart_2024 Apologies my mistake. Like everything the government hands out, it comes from the tax payer. I fear for my kids future the way money we don’t have gets spent these days.

@RyMy_cte @newstart_2024 It literally says 15k in today's equivalent. The point stands though. Where did that 15k per person come from?

In the 1970s, a small Canadian town called Dauphin was chosen at random for a remarkable experiment. The government gave every resident a guaranteed basic income — the equivalent of about $15,000 a year in today’s money — with no strings attached and no way to lose it. What happened next was fascinating. People spent more time with their kids. Very few quit working entirely, but many stopped accepting terrible jobs, which actually raised overall working conditions. Employers had to offer better pay and standards to attract workers. But the most striking result? Hospitalizations for severe depression and anxiety dropped by 9% in just three years. Johann Hari shared this story and it left me thinking: what if a simple floor of financial security could meaningfully improve mental health at a population level? It’s one of those rare real-world experiments that makes you question a lot of assumptions about work, poverty, and human well-being. Have you ever heard about the Dauphin experiment before? What surprised you most?

@SuperPiperTBay Give her a scratch behind the ears for me!

Gotta wait for MNF girl, epic matchup vs Eagles #gopackgo

@EcoFashionByBG Breath easier.

@MarkJCarney If it were for sale, I’m certain you’d sell it out sir.

Thanks for standing up for Canada, Mike. #Never51

@Penguins1617 @misterJDG @tr6_guy Not sure how they all agreed when they haven’t sat since December. Pivotal moment in Canadian history. Hopefully whoever leads this country at the end of the month starts moving it in a direction that is actually good for the folks in it.

@RyMy_cte @misterJDG @tr6_guy Things not covered under the free trade agreement are subject to a 25% tariff by the US and 10% on energy also 25% on cars made in Canada. Thing is all parties in Canada agreed on retaliatory actions.

🇨🇦 all you morons with you elbows up don't you feel a little foolish now?

@misterJDG @tr6_guy Not true. Work in the green industry and many products coming in from USA like LTE and radios communication for irrigation controls, tools and many other parts are included. Very stressful and hurting small business in this sector as well.

@tr6_guy Canada was excluded from the “Reciprocal Tariff” package. The Canadian retaliatory tariffs are on the auto, steel and aluminum tariffs.

@zaxx40 Acutely worse than the No Definite Plan platform. lol!

Watching Carney on the TV. He has generalized everything and says to trust him if he forms government he will at that time tell Canadians what their plan is going to be. Nothing concrete. Absolutely a terrible communicator with no plan for Canada.

@halanderson Have you read Wilful Blindness Hal? If so, Sam Cooper would be an interesting guest before April 28th!

Other Issues Matter Too! Also, crazy distracted driving story, prank becomes reality, hockey equipment to Ukraine, scheduling worry time & micro-retiring trend. #Winnipeg

My latest @financialpost article discusses the latest symptom of a tax system that is in desperate need of repair: the fact that the CRA can not yet handle tax filings with capital gains: “Another tax season, another tax filing debacle: the Canada Revenue Agency on March 11 announced its systems were not yet ready for personal tax filings that include capital gains… This is the third year in a row that some issue has affected tax preparation. For the 2022 filings, it was the massive confusion involving the new Underused Housing Tax. Last year, it was the bare trust debacle. Now, it’s the capital gains confusion and delay… However, the recent tax debacles are just one piece of a much larger puzzle. Canada’s economy has been extraordinarily mismanaged for years, and our tax policies and systems have done nothing to address such mismanagement. As economist Jack Mintz recently said, we can’t afford another lost decade. Our country risks economic stagnation if we don’t address our structural issues. He highlighted that our economy has been stagnant, with virtually no growth in real per capita gross domestic product (GDP) for the past 10 years... Regarding taxation, here are five ways to help fix the mess we are in. 1. Future governments need to stop announcing significant tax changes through news releases... 2. Recognize that good tax policy matters. It’s not all about politics. Instead, good tax policy drives investment decisions and attracts successful and talented people… 3. Genuine efforts need to be made to simplify the Income Tax Act and its related administration… 4. Ensure the CRA is prepared before changes take effect... 5. Overall, we need significant tax reform to deal with the above challenges. It’s long overdue… The next federal election will be an important referendum on Canada’s economic future. The choice is clear: keep heading down the path of reckless tax policy and economic mismanagement or elect leadership that actually understands how tax policy impacts the economy. On Oct. 21, 2019, Canada’s Election Day that year, I was in the audience at the Vancouver tour stop of the classic rock band The Who…I loved the concert, but despised the election result. Five and a half years later, I’m hoping Canadians Won’t Get Fooled Again. As the song says, “Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.” If we don’t demand real tax reform, we won’t just get fooled again; we’ll get fleeced again. To those who find comfort in shouting “Elbows up,” I understand the assertive Canadian patriotism. But empty slogans — what we call “all hat, no cattle” in my home in Calgary — won’t fix our broken tax system or our mismanaged economy. Instead, we need real leadership, meaningful tax reform, and a clear path out of this lost decade. It’s time for action, not just words. Vote wisely.” financialpost.com/personal-finan…

Yes, let’s talk about losing our sovereignty. China has been undermining it for years, they’ve helped pick our next government. They run their transnational crime groups and secret police stations inside Canada. Can we get some outrage here?

@SpencerFernando So that some rural folks can’t do there job as efficiently or effectively? Good thinking. We should keep cancel culture and banning things. It’s really brought this nation together the last decade.

Canada must give serious consideration to banning Starlink in this country.

@CraigBaird My Dad’s home town! That’s awesome!

Tonight in Maple Creek, SK, two hockey teams are going to take to the ice to continue a four-decade tradition. It is a hockey game between the Nekaneet First Nation and local ranchers. Let's learn more about The Battle of the Little Big Puck! 📸Anthony Janzen 🧵1/7

@NorthrnPrspectv Thank you!

The economies of Canada and the United States are linked in so many ways, so let’s focus on what we do well. Continental Food, Energy and Manufacturing Security.
