Canadian conservatism, to me, is pretty straightforward and hasn't really changed at its core: - Live within your means…..fiscal responsibility, balance budgets, stop endless borrowing and spending like there's no tomorrow - Reward hard work and merit, not DEI checkboxes or identity politics - Smaller government that stays out of people's lives unless absolutely necessary & less nanny-state meddling - Strong national sovereignty: Canada first, bow to no foreign power - Uphold traditional values, rule of law, free speech, and our Judeo-Christian heritage that built the West…. especially without being preachy about it, just realistic - Strong military and borders. Being able to defend what's ours, especially in the Arctic where China and Russia are already probing - Personal responsibility over victimhood culture That's it. Nothing fancy. It's what most regular Canadians used to take for granted before the Laurentian elite and their media friends (CBC especially) spent decades rebranding it as "far-right", "Trump-lite", "hate", or "backward". The demonization has been systematic: - Family: Pushed "progressive" sex-ed, gender ideology in schools, and policies that undermine the traditional family unit while calling anyone who objects a bigot. - Education: Universities and even grade schools turned into indoctrination hubs for woke ideology, critical race theory, and anti-Western guilt. Kids come out hating their own history and country. - Media influences: CBC, CTV, Globe, Toronto Star constantly frame conservatives as angry, racist, misogynist, climate-denying extremists. Meanwhile Liberals get soft coverage even when they tank the economy or sovereignty. It's narrative control, not journalism. Poilievre gets at this best when he talks results over decorum. Like Churchill in the '30s. Yet he’s called rude and extreme for telling hard truths, but history proved him right. Same pattern here. The Liberals and their gatekeepers scream "division" or "dangerous" whenever anyone pushes back against decline, but look at affordability, housing, crime, borders, defense spending… all worse under their watch. Conservatism isn't about being mean or nostalgic. It's about common sense, strength, and not letting Canada become a weak, indebted, identity-obsessed shell of what it was. The demonization works because too many bought the propaganda. But I’m hopeful more people are waking up it. For myself it’s time to stop apologizing for wanting a strong, prosperous, sovereign Canada. Results matter more than being polite about it.

@mcuban Great point!

Doesn’t take into account that there is value to redesigning homes and other spaces so humans have more and better living space Just like warehouses were redesigned to optimize speed/storage and access. Homes, offices and other spaces can be redesigned Just because a humanoid can do the job, it doesn’t mean it’s the optimal robot for the job and space utilization Why wouldn’t you use a smaller, less expensive, easier to maintain robot that has an environment it was designed for ?

I was thinking the same. Great opportunity for a bank or a financial institution to put an API out there and get an ecosystem of apps that could support their customers. The API would stop with the screen scraping apps that are out there and allow an ecosystem of creators. I can only imagine the opportunity for an app like this to connect to a bank API in secure fashion. They could put an open source example out there similar to what I built and allow others to build on it.. Be interesting for RBC to expand their investors advice platform and make the api available to them. Interesting. Love to hear about your alpha solution when the time is good.

@joxley @ronmortgageguy @garquake @SteveWps Pretty cool. I think there is a ton of opportunity on that side to push pull from a personalized app & direct api to some platform. Also tinkering with somethings similar but more focused on alpha to scout opportunities

@KirkLubimov @ronmortgageguy @garquake @SteveWps Had a lazy week in retirement and decided to write a portfolio app. Have a look if you are interested. It's all in fun and for my personal use, yet thought I'd share.

@BillyM2k The reality is that there is massive cheating. But it is impossible to prove that without ID and in-person voting.

Amazing!

I support the United States and Israel. Let's see how many Canadians unfollow me now. Byeeee!

@Osint613 And now the allies are onside, by Saudi and UAEs comments….it’s next!

Quick last thought before I go to sleep. As of now, the Islamic regime is still holding leverage, choking the Strait of Hormuz and putting global energy flows under pressure, with traffic nearly frozen and oil markets rattled U.S. and Israel knew this was coming. A Hormuz disruption was always the predictable move. If you think this ends here, you are misreading the board. Something is building, and when it comes, it will be powerful. It’s now the U.S. move.

Mario, your post recycles the same tired regime apologia and defeatist spin that has failed for decades. Operation Epic Fury wasn't some reckless adventure Trump "started", it was the necessary response after Iran's refusal to dismantle its nuclear sites, ship out its 440.9 kg of 60% HEU, or accept zero-enrichment during Geneva talks. The strikes achieved what your beloved diplomacy never could: 86-95% degradation of Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan, elimination of Khamenei and top IRGC leadership, and a documented 21+ month setback to their weapons program. Measurable rollback, no endless occupation. Gulf states aren't simply "pissed" at America. They condemned Iran's ballistic missile retaliation on UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and others in the strongest terms, with Saudi's Crown Prince reportedly urging Trump to keep hitting hard. Iran's "more hardline" regime is decapitated and fracturing, not emboldened. Russia and China aren't "salivating", they're limited to diplomatic whining at the UN while Russia loses its Iranian drone supply lines and China faces disrupted oil flows it depends on. The CRINK axis is weaker, not stronger. The Strait disruptions and oil spikes are painful, hitting Canadian families at the pump, but that's precisely why we cannot afford half-measures or retreat. US forces are now countering with bunker-busters and securing the lane because control matters for global energy and our security. If we finish the job with sustained precision pressure and secondary sanctions on enablers like China, we open space for internal Iranian liberation without boots on the ground, just like economic leverage forced prisoner releases in Cuba. Your claim that the US comes out weaker ignores the facts on the ground and the PS752 murders of 57 Canadians by this same regime. This was evidence-based action against an existential threat, not the isolationism that let it metastasize. Trump had no choice but to act, and now we press the advantage. Sovereign Realism works: precision over propaganda, results over rhetoric. Evidence over excuses. Citizens first. Canada First.

@robobOxley Is this for the @anduriltech competition?

Setup Flightmare and got a drone that can hover (also moved from raw motor RPMs to collective thrust and angle body rates). My next steps are to setup curriculum learning for stabilizing a drone (recovering from sharp/random initial rotations). Since absolute position does not transfer well to real world, I am testing adding relative position (drone position - goal xyz) to hopefully transfer a lot smoother to the gate flying environment.

Senate Majority Leader Thune, I’m cognizant that I’ve been respectfully posting to you for 77 days. I’ve kept my language peaceful, cerebral, & focused on policy. First, I wanted to thank you for bringing the SAVE America Act to the Senate floor for debate. Second, please continue debate on the bill & do NOT invoke cloture on the SAVE America Act unless we have 60 votes. Third, please consider continuing to work through the weekend &/or not recessing from March 30 - April 10. If you made that decision & focused on reopening the Department of Homeland Security, you & your Republican caucus would be heroes to millions of Americans, as well as the unpaid TSA agents. Furthermore, please know that we can be your greatest allies. We can be your bullhorn. We can be your peaceful ammunition. We can give you the support of millions of voices that desperately want election security. The single most important piece of legislation we care about is the SAVE America Act — proof of citizenship & voter ID. By the way, I’ll be in Rapid City & Sioux Falls this weekend — peacefully. Look forward to hearing from you. @LeaderJohnThune

with Xi's intense military purges ramping up right now;hollowing out the CMC and targeting even loyalists…do you see this as part of a broader internal reset in Beijing? Could the Iran fallout, upcoming Trump summit pressures, and domestic economic strains be pushing Xi to consolidate power for pragmatic adjustments, like easing citizen burdens to buy more loyalty and stability? Curious on your read as someone tracking China-ME dynamics closely.

China’s bet was that U.S. cannot do preemptive military operations and even less so in the Middle East, the fact that this changed simply reverses a lot of the previous planning, especially since they will need a buffer other than Iran to do the sanctions evasion.

@Steve27491672 @KirkLubimov Mcs with a strong AI background primarily vision and robotics.

@joxley @KirkLubimov Masters in what exactly?

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.

@catturd2 Wow, 🇨🇦 is such a small impact across your readers. Speaks volumes to our media’s impact. Glad to follow you!!

Here's mine... I dare any of the doomers to post theirs - it won't look nothing like this lol. And BTW. If we're all IsRaEl FiRsT like the doomers scream 24/7 - where are they on my chart? Zero.

After I saw President Trump call out Israel for striking the South Pars gas field, something clicked for me. He didn't join Israel's war with Iran because he was duped. He stepped in to control the OUTCOME of the war.

@Scobleizer While my jump into AI solutions was personal....never did I think I could write this...and it works! Thanks for your reporting as without it, I never would have made the leap!

@HonestBroker7 @KirkLubimov He’s good with the TN visa. ~$300 for 3 years. Great program for certain degrees.

@KirkLubimov @joxley Finding is easy but getting the work visa requirements are much harder unless fully supported by company willing to hire you. Been there.
