"You don't know how good you have it" should be the title of the next Liberal platform.

A lot of people misunderstand how wealth is built. They think it works like this: you get money, you already have wealth, and then you just turn it into more money—and that’s the whole explanation. But if that were true, it raises an obvious question: Why aren't humans still living in caves? Where did the initial wealth come from? If you need wealth to create more wealth, then why didn’t humans just stay stuck living in caves, scraping by forever? At some point, something changed. We went from barely surviving to building systems, institutions, and societies that can generate ongoing prosperity—at least in some places. This gets at a classic point from Thomas Sowell: the real question isn’t why some societies are poor, but why some are rich. That’s the harder question, and the more interesting one. And I think people miss this. Wealth isn’t just about having money. It requires work, discipline, the right mindset, and the kinds of social and economic conditions that allow it to grow in the first place.

There is a peculiarly Canadian personality that craves government direction in their lives then takes obscene delight in the inconvenience to anyone who disagrees whatever the government directs, which they adopt as a moral imperative. This is a sad day for that personality.

Yeah but The Davos Speech😍

So, kind of a blackish white or a coldish hot, then? You can tell Carney and everyone he has surrounded himself with spent way, way too long in the jargon-drunk finance industry. Empty sloganeering designed to sound smart from people who know deep down that they have no ideas of their own and that without the Eurasia Group newsletter, they would have no ideas at all.

Thank you Katy for your creativity, smarts, energy, and work ethic. It has been an honour to work with you. Our movement and country are blessed to have you.

So Long, Farewell :)

This story should come with a trigger warning for anyone under 35.

Case in point: if Justin Trudeau had introduced the exact same budget, literally no one would be hailing it as "fiscally responsible".

"Just getting started" in their 11th year in power. No wonder nothing can get built in this country!

“Marilyn, in order to join the Liberal Party, you’re going to have to go back on literally everything you’ve ever said or believed. Can you do that?” “Yeah yeah. You’ll validate my parking, right?”

Could this be the next Prime Minister of Canada? Recently, I’ve been finding myself up all night trying to figure out what the hell is going on in the world and if we're on the verge of World War III… So, today I’m sitting down with Pierre Poilievre who is the leader of Canada's Conservative Party and Leader of the Opposition. He became one of the youngest MPs elected to Canadian parliament and has spent 2 decades fighting for working class people and fair opportunities. Pierre told me that he’s on a mission to make Canada the freest and most affordable place in the world, and he’s not stopping until that happens. To give you more context on his background, Pierre was adopted at birth by two school teachers who struggled financially and ended up losing multiple homes which meant that they had to start again from nothing several times throughout his childhood. That experience shaped what he believes about work, money, and fairness. When speaking about his parents, he told me that they taught him that it doesn’t matter where you come from. It matters what you do. That belief is now at the centre of everything he’s trying to change.

Vaguely recall someone at Davos saying "The power of the less powerful begins with honesty."

Just bought a kettlebell.

We shall fight on the beaches when it makes sense. We shall fight on the landing grounds when it makes sense. We shall fight in the fields and in the streets when it makes sense. We shall fight in the hills when it makes sense. We shall never surrender, when it makes sense.

Our ancient English liberty.
