“It’s the astronomical cost of the exercise. From around 150 employees in 2006, the CPPIB has ballooned to more than 2,000 today. Personnel costs now total over $1.2-billion, or an average of more than $570,000 per employee.”
Wow!

My latest, on the continuing fiasco at the CPP investment fund, which has now spent more than $50 billion over twenty years to lose about $100 billion relative to what it might have earned, for an equal amount of risk, if it had just bought the relevant indexes — or flung darts at the stock listings. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…

Good for @iainblackbc for speaking out against @KerryLynneFindl and her pattern of racism.
Iain Black@iainblackbc
Dividing people based on race is how David Eby won last time. I believe we are all equal. When we defend our principles - equality for all - we can stand proud and demonstrate to British Columbians that we are ready to govern. I'm ready to defeat David Eby and the NDP. Let’s get B.C. back on track.

Credit to @PeterMilobar for keeping his composure and pushing back.
I hope the other candidates spoke out against her racism.

PERSONAL: @PeterMilobar slams @KerryLynneFindl for insinuating that he has a conflict of interest for having an Indigenous wife.

So @KerryLynneFindl is out here attacking a candidate's wife… but nobody's asking about her own husband's views?
Does she also believe Sandy Hook was faked? Does she also believe Muslims are all inbred?

Is he waiting to push Jenny Kwan or Don Davies out of their seats to run in the next election?
They are the only two Western Canadian seats he can win and he knows that.

NDP Leader @avilewis rules out bid to run in eventual North Vancouver-Capilano byelection to succeed @JonathanWNV , Canada's new #EU ambassador. He told a news conference he will not be running in any looming byelections, but rather leave Commons matters to #NDP caucus. #cdnpoli

Finally, Hungary will be sovereign, no longer a vassal of Russia.

This will be Netanyahu’s legacy, and it’s not a good one.
He can boast as much as he wants on his special relationship with Trump, but he lost the American people, which for Israel’s long term can be devastating.
One reason for this massive change is Bibi bringing to his government extreme right wing figures like Ben Gvir and others

• 60% of American adults now have an unfavorable view of Israel 🇮🇱. • That’s up from 53% last year and 42% in 2022. • In both political parties, a majority of adults under age 50 view Israel negatively. (84% of Democrats, 57% of Republicans) 👉🏻 pewresearch.org/short-reads/20…

⏰ When David Eby tries to turn back the clocks to a time there was a stronger economy, better healthcare and smaller deficits.

What a despicable post.
First, Musqueam is one of the most successful nations in BC and the quality of life in that community is high. Remember, there’s a beautiful golf course there.
Second, your post completely ignores the fact that the reason the living conditions are worse is because First Nations were forced onto reserves that weren’t where they lived historically, in areas that were believed to be less valuable and useful.
Third, that living conditions are this way because of all the horrible policies put forward by the west that destroyed our way of life, governance systems, and cultural practices.
If you want to say this - DEBATE ME.
Come on my show, and say this to me.
Defend your ideas.

If you want your city to look and feel like your local Indian reserve, then give control over your city to the people who run that reserve. That’s basically the plan that leftist politicians and judges have been implementing for the last 50 years. And now it’s at your doorstep, Vancouver. The longer we wait, the harder all of this will be to undo. Every citizen should be equal and there is no need for any reconciliation. We can start by repealing DRIPA and demanding the removal of aboriginal title from Canada‘s constitution. If that fails, independence may indeed become British Columbia’s only alternative.

@Dallas4BC Apparently she doesn’t even have a constituency office.

Does Dallas Brodie tell her constituents anything ?
Wyatt Claypool@wyatt_claypool
Did Wade Grant know about the Musqueam land title deal ahead of time? Seems like he would. Wade is a member of the Musqueam band, a Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Environment and a Liberal MP in Vancouver. And he did not tell the public (his constituents) their land title was going to be undermined by his friends on the band council, his Minister, and the Prime Minister.
