The Farce of the federal government's "Buy Canada" edict More than 70 per cent of contracts awarded under the federal government’s new Buy Canadian procurement policy have gone to foreign-owned subsidiaries. -Thelogic.co thelogic.co/news/buy-canad…


Someone approached me last week and said that I spend too much time talking about problems, and not enough about solutions. So here are the solutions. You may notice they’re extremely simple, because our problem has never been a lack of fixes, it’s people who refuse to see them.

In Nigeria, Islamists like Boko Haram have slaughtered over 100K Christians and burned 18K churches since 2009. This is a systematic, documented campaign of ethnic and religious cleansing. Why is the world silent about this? Is it because the victims are Christian and the perpetrators are Muslim? No Jews, No News.

"Men without beards may cause 'indecent thoughts' in other men because they look like women." Islamic scholar in Spain argues that all men must grow a beard like his for this reason. Thoughts?



🚨🇨🇦 Canada doesn’t have a mining problem. It has a permitting problem. We sit on world-class deposits of lithium, nickel, copper, graphite, cobalt and rare earths. Yet major projects can spend more than a decade navigating approvals. So here’s the question: Is this $2B Accelerator removing regulatory barriers… Or simply adding another government layer with another pot of taxpayer money? Because if the bottleneck is bureaucracy, funding bureaucracy won’t eliminate bureaucracy. #Canada

I stood 5 feet from @MarkJCarney tonight as he delivered a masterful speech. A he does. His eyes were empty from exhaustion, I would guess, as he started his probably 10th speech of the day and he had juts traversed the globe from Turkey and I think the Middle East. By the middle, he was revitalized,firm, and a bit fierce as he delivered a most optimistic vision for Canada, but you can see the worry and not help but sense that his own exhaustion comes from real urgency and concern. We live in a world where I feel the enemy is partisanship and the antidote is citizenry. I think most Canadians share this perspective. I so desperately hope we can quickly know that the latter always shapes the former, and not the other way around.





Remember Piketty and other left “economists” warning about Javier Milei being elected president? What @JMilei achieved will go into economics books. Free market works really fast. Why don’t other countries give it a try instead of following left fairytales making them poorer?
