@wyattsharpe8 Some people want to be left alone. They don't want government hand outs either.

So annoying to see people spend all day complaining about the government and then turn around and say they’re not filling out the census.
You realize the census is literally how resources and funding get allocated, right?
If you want better policy, your community actually has to be counted.

Some Canadians have been writing “return to sender” on the 2026 Census letters they’ve received.

Hey gang, just floating options for doing cool stuff this summer…
Let’s say I organize a curated adventure…history mystery, Whisky Wednesdays type thing where we get on a bus and go somewhere and I take you around on a tour. Like a school field trip for us GenX folks, but it’s fun.
Presentations, hikes, pubs and such.
Would you pay & sign up for this kind of a thing?

@ThomasWatsonCD Sounds like selection bias if you can opt in. Too many nerds.

@intrnetdaughter I think you misunderstand tax brackets:
Someone earning $58 k pays $8,120 federal tax total (14% on first $58 k). Someone earning $117k pays $20,181 federal tax, (20.5% btw $58-$117 k).
Seems fair, especially since there's provincial brackets in the mix too.

@FoodProfessor I thought you said it was the carbon tax, which doesn't exist anymore.

@ShenazKermalli Why not write a story based on what teens want vs. a story you're trying to construct to tell a narrative you want to tell?

@globeandmail It's water, what's the problem? There's still snow and ice on the ground in some cities across Canada.

Fire crews hosed down Drake's massive ice sculpture in the middle of downtown Toronto in an attempt to get it to melt faster, saying it posed a risk to public safety.
Drake posted the publicity stunt on his Instagram, announcing that the release date of his new album was somewhere inside the blocks of ice, which led to people climbing the structure and hacking away at it with pickaxes. Some even lit open fires atop it to get it to melt faster.
When asked about the allocation of police and fire resources, Mayor Olivia Chow said the city has no plans to recoup the costs and that it’s their responsibility to keep the public safe. However, she added she will need to check with the police and fire chiefs.
A city spokesperson said a Toronto Fire Service response such as this one is funded through the city’s annual operating budget.

Canada drops out of a US-sponsored military exercise in Africa. A byproduct of PM Carney's emphasis on diversifying Canada's foreign links away from the US: the Canadian army's resources are increasingly stretched thin, and Africa falls off the table.

@MarkMcGrathCFP @altruafinancial Thanks Mark, always enjoy reading your stuff. You retired? I'm in Ottawa and always looking for wise advice on public pensions + private investment optimization.

There are always payments, whether you rent or own.
Not a market timing decision at all.
I do believe, however, that as a 100% equity investor, I have a higher expected return on that capital by investing in index funds vs. owning a home.
Having 100% of our net worth liquid brings me incredible peace of mind as well.
And having that capital available to buy without it being subject to sale is an advantage.
This wasnt the driving factor in our decision but running this calculator also showed a significant benefit for us to renting, which boosted our confidence:
