This is Mary Clayton's vocal on “Gimme Shelter” stripped completely naked. No music. Just her. That crack in her voice was not planned. It was real. The Stones kept it.

For the last few years I saw this immigration occur in small ski towns north of a Quebec City. African immigrants working in the local McDonalds, fast food places. Being bused to an area motel after their shifts. Then Le Massif hill hired all Mexican TFWs, who never left the Club Med resort. (Maybe due to language laws) Unemployment for youth in the area, skyrocketed upwards. It’s not a rich area.

@crypto_birb No.

New Ferrari is designed to spark controversy. But Ferrari clients don’t buy the car. They buy what it represents. It’s the same reason you don’t find Ferrari road banner ads like you would for Toyota. Fans will love it. Haters can’t afford it anyway.

@valdombre I’m jealous that their govt is so efficient

A researcher holds a chart showing rising deportations in Quebec. This was at a press conference raising alarm about CBSA in Quebec ramping up removals. Quebec has been responsible for 55% of deportations in Canada so far this year.

The Indian high commissioner is right that Canada is way too tolerant of the Khalistani movement, but we've taken a whole lot of disrespect from him, too. In January, he said that Canada needs a population of 100 million to properly man our resources and that India had the "capacity" to help. An offer like that, to more than double the Canadian population via Indian emigration, is a threat. He made it with no shame, no second thoughts, no subtlety, not even a "sorry I misspoke." Now, he's attacking Canadian institutions very publicly. Maybe he's right that police are corruptly working with Khalistanis. I obviously don't have the transcript of his Globe interview, but the article doesn't mention him showing any evidence for his claims. Public accusations, especially ones as damning as this, should be supported with evidence. We don't appear to have been given that respect. There should be consequences for suggesting a takeover of one's host country while making unsupported accusations against it. He should be expelled.

@sarkonakj @alexbrown17 This is terrifying

@patrickbetdavid Any truth to this?

Ferrari better study the mistakes Porsche made. They forced EV’s down the throat of their customers & they rejected it. Profits went from $4B to $40m in the first 9 months of 2025 to 2024. 13,000 fewer deliveries of cars. Listen to your customers not politicians & the EU.

@blogTO No one wants this shit

@sarkonakj I thought we had language laws

Your new what?

Canadian doc meets a 45yo Crohn’s patient one time outside a coffee shop, decides to euthanize him. One of the reasons - "didn’t have an active social network." Drives the guy to an industrial funeral prep facility and murders him. Family wasn’t told, couldn't even say goodbye. Yet, the only consequence is a verbal reprimand and 6 months supervision. When the State imposes such a high burden of inhuman indignity on its citizens, those citizens have an obligation to repay that imposition with one of their own - the cost can be nothing less than the life of a petty tyrant.

@Canadiantofu @valdombre It’s a murky cesspool

@TraceyKent @valdombre Wait.. Can a TFW working at Tim Horton apply for permanent resident?

Restaurant Brands International CCO says there's a misconception that Tim Hortons uses a lot of foreign labour because many employees are racially diverse: "Canada’s communities have become more diverse and so have our restaurants"

@MVdlJCardinal Bypass tariffs? The US tariffs are for incoming foreign products. It makes no sense to manufacture here for Asia

Fuck she's dumb. I know me posting this changes nothing, and isn't news to anyone following me, but I just shake my head every time she opens her retarded mouth. I bet when she shakes her head, it rattles.

Yes, the new Ferrari EV looks dumb. We all know it does. But we’re not the target market. China is. And it’s going to fly off dealer lots over there. Worldwide, China is now by far the largest market for luxury goods (Swiss watches, jewelry, high-end fashion, etc.), representing at least 30% of global sales. And it’s an especially critical market for ultra-luxury vehicle brands like Rolls Royce, Bentley, Mercedes’ Maybach line, Porsche’s higher-end models, and Ferrari. There are two major reasons for this: One is that China is simply a massive country, and, as its economy has boomed over the last five decades, it has produced the largest number of wealthy people anywhere in the world outside the US. There are now an estimated 50,000 ultra high net worth individuals ($30M+ net worth) in China, and the number is growing faster than anywhere else on the planet. The second is that China’s wealthy people—far more than those of America and Europe—are willing to spend their money on luxury consumption. The reasons for this are complex—part of it is probably that most Chinese wealth has been generated since only 1990, meaning that most UHNW Chinese families are first- or second-generation nouveau riche; part of it flows from the Chinese “mianzi” concept of social currency, under which signaling personal status via luxury brands is socially incentivized—but the effect is that rich people seek out the most prestigious and expensive brands, and they’re willing to pay to do so. Especially when it comes to ultra-luxury vehicles, which are frequently given as gifts for weddings, the sealing of business relationships, and life milestones. The net effect of this is that the ideal customer profile for Ferrari is no longer a fourth-generation Italian textile heir or an exited San Francisco tech founder; it’s a 32-year-old Chinese guy stepping into a C-suite role at his dad’s copper foundry after getting his MBA from Wharton or INSEAD. These guys want the Ferrari logo, but they want it on something electric (EV’s are highly encouraged by the Chinese government, especially in the large cities in which UHNW people congregate), and they want it on an ultramodern vehicle that looks and feels more like something that came out of a BYD or NIO showroom. So that’s why this new Ferrari EV looks the way it does, rather than like an electrified version of an F40 or a 360 Modena. It might look dumb to us, but it’s not going to look dumb for Ferrari’s shareholders.

"You aren't getting it," a friend who lives in China told me after I said the new Ferrari is ugly. "This is gonna sell well with China's new rich." But why is a story of changing attitudes amongst car buyers, particularly in China. In a world where everyone around you is driving a new electric car, which is true in many Chinese cities now, showing up with a loud gas car just doesn't fit in anymore. Imagine you are a new rich factory owner in Shanghai. Do you want to drive around in a loud Ferrari, like I dreamed about doing when I was a kid? No. Chinese culture is about fitting in, about caring what everyone else thinks. Worse, in China they are going electric so fast that you can see the writing on the wall for gas. Soon gas stations will disappear altogether in major cities. And cars that pollute and put fumes into the air are already being seen as artifacts of an age that needs to die quickly, particularly in cities with 40 million people. Ferrari's sales are way down in China. New car brands there like @Xiaomi, @XPENG_Global, @NIOGlobal, @BYDCompany, and @HongqiGlobal are taking share with vehicles that have much more innovation than even this new Ferrari has. What are my credentials to talk about Ferrari? Well, I've studied automotive innovation my whole life. Audi taught me to race. I had the first ride in the Fiat 500, the BMW i3, the Tesla Roadster, the first Mercedes AI car, and a few others. Have hung out with many billionaires who have Ferraris, went on a famous car rally with such last year to study buyers of super cars, and car collectors, among other things. And I did consumer research about attitudes toward new innovations, like autonomy, around the world. But it goes deeper than just China, which buys more cars that USA and Europe combined. Ferrari is run by people who love to drive and love to drive gas cars with loud, big, engines. In USA that makes sense. My friend Scott Jordan, who owns a clothing company in Sun Valley, Idaho, has one, and within a few minutes from his home he can be on some of the best driving roads in the world. We argue about cars all the time, and he probably never will buy a Tesla. Loves the sound the Ferrari makes. And the design of the hand stitched leather dash. He hates this new Ferrari. Could never see himself in one. But his counterpart in China? Will never get onto a pretty road. When I was last in Shanghai I drove for hours and never stopped seeing high rise buildings with stop and go traffic. Americans can't grok that. They don't want a dirty, gas, car, that makes a lot of noise in China. All traditional luxury brands (another way for saying $500,000 or more for a car) are seeing sales declines for this reason. They also get on race tracks far less frequently than we can here in America. Which is where you can really enjoy a Ferrari. In fact, the luxury brands are more of a club than buying a car. I once hung out with the Bugatti owners from around the world (one of the benefits of living within walking distance of the Half Moon Bay Ritz Carlton). They told me that it is a club and that Bugatti flies their cars around the world for a variety of driving experiences. Makes sense, the last thing a billionaire wants to hear while on vacation is a pitch for a new startup, or someone begging for money (same thing, really). So they have a club experience that keeps them separated from those kinds. The Chinese buyer cares more about innovation than those of us in USA do. You see this in their vehicles, which have big huge screens covering the dash, and seats that rub their backs, and even suspensions that "hop" over potholes, not to mention autonomy that drives them everywhere in stop and go traffic. It's one reason why China's government has kept Tesla from really turning on its autonomy, which is slightly ahead of the Chinese brands. As a Tesla investor I am watching that closely. Speaking of Tesla, its new Roadster that we should see "within months" according to @elonmusk and his main designer @woodhaus2, should capture the world's attention, and especially the new rich in China. But will it be allowed into China in a world where USA doesn't allow Chinese cars to be imported here? The answer to that question is way above my pay grade. But if it were, it'd be a massive competitor to this new Ferrari. Why? Well, Ferrari's innovation just isn't there for this new consumer. It doesn't self drive. Its screens are smaller than any of those new Chinese brands, many of which started out making smartphones and other consumer electronics. And that leads to this design that is rightfully getting derided. Ferrari doesn't like being pushed into this new world of electric, screens, and autonomy. If it could it'd go back to an all-analog car, which is what most of the buyers of Ferrari like, taking them back to their childhood. I can just imagine what Jony Ive had to do to come up with even the design he was able to ship here. Consumers used to like buttons. Old people, particularly billionaires, still do. Takes them back to familiarity and tactile senses. They still talk about how much they love the buttons and knobs in their old cars. But the new Chinese consumers grew up with smartphones and iPads you can touch. Many of them carry around @Huawei triple fold phones, that, when unfolded look like an iPad. We don't have those in America yet and Apple is rumored to be bringing a single fold device to America later this year. Such a consumer is more impressed by big screens and automation than loud engines and fast speeds. But the new rich want to stand out. Often they are running factories or tech companies where most of the engineers have Teslas or one of the new Chinese brands. How do they stand out? Roll up in one of these. And now you understand why the design of this car is so ugly. Ferrari doesn't want its traditional consumer to buy it. And didn't want a mind-blowing aggressive design that would make its traditional customer pissed that it was "going electric." It's all about trying to regain share in China.
