“What radicalized you?” Understanding the specific ways communism almost ended my bloodline, learning about all the shit my family had to do to survive the Great Purge, and realizing how many things had to happen for me to be here. It’s a long list of miracles.

"Every creature in the universe, every bird in the trees, every fish in the seas, has to live with scarcity, maximizing use of scarce resources." "The only creature who doesn't do that, is the politician, because he's always using someone else's money."

The real story behind Poilievre's Rogan appearance should be spotlighting Carney's refusal to face scrutiny from independent media —currently, only regime-friendly stenographers get access. Poilievre stepped up on the world's biggest podcast to stand up for Canada while Carney hides from Rebel, Juno, The Western Standard and La Presse.

So let’s get this straight. Mark Carney stood in front of cameras and assured Canadians he raised human rights and foreign interference with Beijing, said it plainly, repeatedly, confidently. And now his own government quietly admits… he didn’t. It’s almost impressive, the speed at which “clear-eyed” turns into carefully avoided. Canadians get the speeches about democracy, climate change, and human rights. Beijing gets the silence, the deals, and the smiles. And somehow we’re all expected to pretend those two versions of reality don’t exist at the same time. #FFS #cdnpoli

Thanks @MarkJCarney

“Canada’s story gets even more depressing when only young people under 25 are counted. The country then falls to 71st, another new low. Young people were once, on average, the happiest Canadian cohort; now they’re the most miserable. And when compared to 136 countries, that 10-year drop in life satisfaction is one of the largest in the world, placing Canada just four slots from the bottom.” The report goes on: “She also points to Canada’s precipitously falling rank when people are asked about their freedom to make life choices. This year, Canada ranked 58th in the report; 10 years ago, the country was 12th. “This shows that people are feeling they’re constrained and not in control,” said Ms. Wyonch. Maybe they can’t move to improve their family situation or leave a job they hate. “That’s a major connection to happiness.” Do you feel like liberals care about this issue?

Come to your own conclusions about why functional health is on the decline across the population, and then take action. I promise you that having agency over your health today will net far better results than waiting for the government to fix our broken healthcare system.

“Functional health drops for Canadians, especially those under 35” These statistics are….something.

While the feds bark at us to “buy Canadian,” Eby spends our tax dollars recruiting American healthcare workers and expects a pat on the back. You can’t write this shit.

Which demographics of Canadians are leaving Canada? >67% of the are 20-44 year olds. >3x more likely to be in Sciences than avg population. >31.1% have a masters degree. >61.4% left to the US. In other words, it's Canada's youngest, most talented and educated population.

Anyone criticizing Poilievre going on Joe Rogan’s podcast has to grapple with the fact that 10x more Canadians watched Rogan this month than watched the CBC

We don't need to gatekeep what disagreements are worth engaging rationally. We need to change how we see disagreement. The ideas you dislike won't disappear just because you dislike them:

Again — if you’re surprised by this, you obviously haven’t been paying attention. I love this place, but it’s being run into the ground by imbeciles. I think about leaving every day.

People should be more afraid of the government trying to sensor speech than the speech itself. Just saying.

There’s not one question or idea that could ever scare me more than the attempts to censor them do.

🚨The International Monetary Fund has recommended independent verification of financial classifications. The Liberal government changed the definition of capital investment to relabel $94 billion in operating expenses as investments. Stops the Manipulation of Canada’s Books.

I’m 74 years old, and I don’t ever remember a Prime Minister of Canada receiving so much praise from our nation’s legacy media for things he said he’ll do, but hasn’t delivered. It’s nothing but state sanctioned propaganda paid for by taxpayers.

Statistics Canada just released a decade of data on the health of Canadians and there has been a significant decline since the Liberals took office in 2015.    The share of Canadians in good health dropped from 68.6% to 56.4%. Emotional health fell from 78.3% to 61.2%.   This is what happens when people can't afford to eat well and can't find a doctor.

@CatOfWeedStreet This is at a Safeway in the lower mainland. $5.99 is still too much.

@amanda_siebert I’ve never seen those prices. I pay 5.99

Canadians are not mad enough. A year ago, these were half as expensive. Is anyone still eating chocolate at these prices?

I like that I can read things on X I won’t find anywhere else… but I’m also acknowledging that most of what I read here makes me want to throw my phone into a river.
