Bill C-3 says any person abroad who can trace their lineage back to a Cdn-born ancestor may now technically be a citizen. Some estimates suggest as many as 3M Americans alone could claim Canadian citizenship. Early data from 2026 shows a massive surge in interest. Vital records requests in some provinces, like Quebec, reportedly jumped by 3,000% in January 2026 vs Jan 2025

The #SpringUpdate outlines progress the government has made in advancing major projects that will connect and transform our nation. -15 projects -60,000+ jobs -$125 billion in new investments ow.ly/a7LP50YTx10

Income tax deadline is Thursday For individuals filing after April 30, CRA imposes a late-filing penalty of 5% of the 2025 balance owing, plus 1% for each full month the return is late (up to 12 months). PLUS Interest is charged on unpaid amounts, compounded daily at 7%. Note: self-employed individuals form is not due till June 15, but any money owed starts accruing interest from May 1. TIP: Even if you cannot pay the full amount immediately, you can avoid the 5% late-filing penalty by filing your return on time. #taxes

OK I am panicking now “Where there is at the heart of all these projects, including resources, provincial jurisdiction; where the federal government is catalyzing, helping to make the project happen through a tax or other incentive - regulatory support - and at the core there is a commercial business making a profit, it is fair, right, just, smart for Canadians to have a share directly in those profits.”

Cabinet will take majority control of all 26 Commons committees and no longer “play silly partisan games,” says Gov’t House Leader @stevenmackinnon. Move quashes all #ethics investigations, subpoenas and questioning of reluctant witnesses. blacklocks.ca/feds-to-quash-… #cdnpoli

WATCH MP Chris d'Entremont says he's unsure whether to describe himself as a "recovering Conservative" or someone who was a Liberal all along. The three-time Conservative MP is among several MPs to cross the floor in recent months.



Canada has observed the largest decline in happiness in the world (along with the UK)


Why does Canada have the longest MRI wait times in the developed world? The Ontario health ministry has a central licensing department for all imaging. In 2024 less than 30 licenses were given out. I know imaging centres that have machines collecting dust for years waiting to be licensed. This is a classic Soviet style artificial supply constraint created by bureaucracy. Meanwhile Canadians are driving to Buffalo or overseas for private MRIs.

Despite a local rejection of mid-70s, investor flows have been in consistent recovery since mid-Feb. Meanwhile expected volatility (VIX) on equities is hinting for a switch to "risk on" in coming weeks. BTC sold off WAY TOO FAST in this early bear market and current conditions are setting up to test mid-80s which is the cost basis of short term investors. This is NOT me saying the bottom is in. BTC is solidly in the middle of its bear market through a lens of long range liquidity. Typically, after fast downward flushes like we have had BTC likes to go sideways and mount a rally where resistance is tested. Bull trap forming.
