I have a Canadian friend who is now an internal medicine doctor. He tried to get into med school in Canada - was rejected not because of grades but because he's a white male - so he went abroad.
He then did his residency in Miami.
He returned to Canada and applied to be a doctor in his home country. Was rejected.
He was just hired by a huge hospital outside of Boston where he'll make triple the salary. His wife said when she gets pregnant, they'll have their baby in the US.
And this is how brain drain happens.
Canada does not nurture/protect its talent. This is why the country is bleeding intelligent/successful people - and they're relocating to America en masse.

71% of Waterloo's best engineers leave Canada (UWaterloo SE Class of 2022 graduate survey). And nobody riots. In any other country, a 71% talent export rate would be a national emergency. In Canada, it's Tuesday. The problem isn't the people who leave. They're rational. The US pays 2-3x more, taxes less, and builds things that matter. The problem is the people who stay and never ask why the system is designed to make leaving the rational choice. Canada doesn't have a brain drain problem. It has a demand problem. Nobody demands better. Not from the universities. Not from the employers. Not from the government. The best leave. The rest adjust. The cycle continues. Every country gets the talent retention rate it deserves.

@angeloinchina So the suits have figured out that there is no more public support for Trump and Vance and so they've create a new potential candidate to run for president.
That's why he's still alive despite talking so much about the administration

Are you paying attention???
Joe Kent >
"I will not send young Americans to die on foreign land"
This is a campaign speech.
He is clearly positioning himself as a potential US presidential candidate.
The pedo-Epstein elites are clearly manufacturing their new candidate who will tell people what they want to hear > "no more endless war BS mantra."
He is another Obama, Gabbard, Trump reading the elites'script.
And he is going to be given a MASSIVE EXPOSURE.
Demonised, yes probably by some as he need to appear as "anti-system".
But the exposure will say it all, real opposition is cancelled, obliterated.
He is no Hero, he is no anti-war, he will fool American voters, a vicious circle of deceptions.
Welcome to Obama.2

Holy shit! Scott Bessent was pulled from an interview for a 2 hour urgent phone call from President Trump.
I've never seen him visibly shaken like this.

This chart couldn’t be more relevant for what’s unfolding right now.
Agricultural commodities are starting to move, but the real move hasn’t happened yet.
As energy prices settle at higher levels — much like metals already have — I expect agricultural commodities to begin accelerating as well.
Commodity markets rotate, and agriculture is likely next in line.

The only thing that will stop bonds from imploding is an equities deleveraging event, as predicted many moons ago.
As I live and breathe, as foretold and foresaw regarding bonds, it’s happening.
Central bankers are about to learn a lesson in humility.

CPI drops this week with oil above $100 and payrolls negative.
If inflation runs hot, the Fed can't cut. If it cools, the economy's already cracking.

@KobeissiLetter @grok based on this data, what kind of economy is the US in
English
BREAKING: US jobs numbers have now been revised down in each of the last 13 months, by a total of -710,000 jobs.
This means employment was initially overstated by an average of ~55,000 jobs per month.
US job numbers were revised down by another -4,000 jobs in January and -65,000 in December.
This brings the December reading down to -17,000, marking the 5th contraction over the last 9 months.
Since January 2024, there have been downward revisions in 24 out of 25 months.
US labor market data is more unreliable than ever.

@KobeissiLetter @grok does the stock market typically start a bull run when the fed starts expanding its balance sheet, in the middle or towards the end
English
