@Nasdad_TO @peteremcc @cbcwatcher Are we really betting our space program on a penny stock?

@peteremcc @cbcwatcher Shame I sold my 80,000 shares

I promise I am not joking... This is Canada's spaceport. Last month, the federal government paid $200 million to a company called Maritime Launch Services to lease it for 10 years.

@MelissaLMRogers If Liberals start chanting "Build the Wall" I'm going to lose it.

WHAT 🤯 at the Liberal Convention, Patrick Pichette, tech exec, says that CANADIAN tech talent should be FORCED TO STAY in Canada or PAY hundreds of thousands to leave Canada 🤯🤯 In summary, if you can, LEAVE Canada asap

@tobi Was at a dinner last night with 18 business owners and we asked the question "who is thinking about moving away from Canada" and 14 hands went up. 2 are currently in process of moving to the US for opportunities. This would never have happened 10 years ago.

Make Canada so compelling that the best and brightest want to net-immigrate, not flee. Let's stick to good ideas, of which Pichette has plenty. Making Canada a cage is not one of them.

@JustinOHallo lol

@laurentmunier @KenSimCity The home is on stolen land. It was never theirs to begin with.

Great to meet with Ana Bailão, CEO of Build Canada Homes, to discuss how we can work together to build more homes, faster. We highlighted Vancouver’s priorities, including replacing aging SROs, and advancing non-market housing, and how they align with the federal goal of delivering affordable housing at scale. Vancouver is ready to work collaboratively to get homes built.

@JustinOHallo @KenSimCity Inner peace comes from within. You will not find what you seek in somebody else's home.

@KenSimCity Confiscate the homes of the rich. Anything above One Million Dollars. Give it to the people.

How deeply unserious is Canada's federal NDP party? Why are still giving these guys any airtime? Check out videos from their clown show convention held this week. x.com/search?q=ndp

@iamkennethchan How about don't take my money and then you don't have to worry about rebating it back to me.

COPE councillor Sean Orr is proposing a 7% property tax hike for Vancouver homeowners, but it'd also be paired with a rebate for most. Hike targets higher-valued properties of $3+ million, multiple owners, and/or non-resident investors. #vanre #vanpoli dailyhive.com/vancouver/fair…

Canada's economy lost net 83,900 jobs in February, driving Canada's unemployment rate up to 6.7%. Economists were expecting a 10k gain, per Bloomberg

JUST IN: Meta sold 7 million Ray-Ban smart glasses in 2025 alone. Workers in Kenya are watching the footage. Not metadata. Not anonymized clips. The actual videos. People undressing. People in bathrooms. People having sex. Bank cards. Medical documents. The blurring is supposed to protect privacy. It fails constantly. The contractors see everything. Here is the part that should stop you cold: You did not buy the glasses. You did not agree to the terms of service. You did not consent to anything. But if someone wearing Meta glasses walks into your bedroom, your bathroom, your doctor's office, your home, a contractor on the other side of the world may be watching you right now. The person wearing the glasses consented. Everyone else in the room did not. Meta's defense is that this is all disclosed in the privacy policy. They are technically correct. Buried in language so dense that 99% of users never read it. And even if they did, it would not matter, because the terms govern the wearer's data. Not yours. You are not a party to the contract. You are the product being annotated. Millions of AI-enabled cameras walking around in public. Recording constantly. Uploading to servers. Reviewed by humans earning a few dollars an hour to label your most intimate moments so the algorithm gets smarter. This is not a bug. This is the business model. The EU is already asking questions. MEPs submitted formal inquiries to the Commission this week demanding answers on GDPR compliance. The problem is obvious: European data protection law requires consent from data subjects. Bystanders are data subjects. Bystanders never consented. The entire architecture violates the regulation by design. Meta's response has been silence and a reference to terms of service that do not apply to the people actually being filmed. Google Glass died because people called the wearers "Glassholes" and banned them from bars. Meta solved the social problem by making the glasses look normal. They did not solve the privacy problem. They hid it. Seven million units sold in 2025. The installed base is accelerating. Every unit is a potential surveillance node operated by someone who may not understand what they are feeding into the system and reviewed by contractors who see everything the algorithm cannot process. The question is not whether this becomes a scandal. The question is whether the scandal arrives before or after the glasses are on 50 million faces. Watch the EU. If Brussels moves on GDPR enforcement, Meta faces a choice: disable human review in Europe and cripple the AI training pipeline, or accept fines that could reach billions. Neither outcome is priced into the stock. The glasses are selling faster than ever. The contractors keep watching. And somewhere right now, someone you have never met is looking at footage of you that you never knew existed.

British Columbians, do you know what's happening with property rights in your province? fraserinstitute.org/commentary/ano… #cdnpoli

Must read

Remember when we learned that our wealthiest and most powerful people were connected to a guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring? And then that guy died mysteriously in a jail? And now we just don't talk about it.

they took a scene from Bloodsport and dubbed it into an old school Mentos commercial. the result is perfection.

EXPOSED Buried in Carney's budget bill are new powers allowing Ministers to SECRETLY EXEMPT any person or company FROM THE LAW. Carney tried to HIDE these sweeping powers that OPEN THE FLOODGATES TO CORRUPTION from ANY scrutiny. This unethical power grab must be investigated.

Replace California with BC

"Do you know why Elon Musk terrifies you? Because it's speech you can't control" "Did people vote for Digital I.D, did people vote for the online safety act?" "The establishment used to decide what we see and hear, now we have X and it TERRIFIES YOU"

@ShaleTier7 This would be funny if I wasn't crying.

@nikkibarnes Conveniently omits that the entire western world has criticized Maduro's last 2 elections as highly fraudulent and illegitimate. Also omits that Venezuela went from a prosperous and thriving country and absolutely collapsed economically under Chavez and Maduro.

Best explanation I’ve heard about US interests in Venezuela today. P.S. She recorded this over 2 weeks ago.

Mark Carney. Brookfield. Cutting down the rainforest. Slaves. My friends, you need to see this.
