@BrandonWealth @TheCADInvestor Mine is just in a chequing account. I don't deserve to earn money without labour.

@TheCADInvestor Spot on brother! I know way too many people in their 20s and 30s who ask me whether they should use an RRSP or TFSA Then they end up leaving their money sitting in a high-interest savings account.

The more I learn about Canadian personal finance, the more convinced I am most people are not “bad with money.” They just were never taught the game. They were told to save, not INVEST. They were told to trust the bank, not how to understand fees. They were told RRSPs are good, not WHEN they’re good. They were told the TFSA is a savings account, not a tax-free wealth-building BEAST. They were told buying a house is the goal, not how to build liquid assets too. Canada gives people some incredibly powerful tools. Most people just learn about them 10 years too late.

@Palmviewcapital @TheCADInvestor Those things make you immoral and anti worker. No one should be able to earn money without providing labour.

@TheCADInvestor Exactly. If people learned this stuff when they were younger people would be so much farther ahead than they are right now.

@madatgod @taj1944 @sekeresandprice It is called being respectful and a decent human being. The right doesn't know how to do that. And because of this the right has no place in this society.

@taj1944 @sekeresandprice haha, typical vancouver lefties. call you all sorts of horrible names and question your worth as a person because you aren’t being compassionate enough in the most useless ways. just so stupid.

Don Taylor on 650: Reportedly when the news was delivered (to employees), there were still people in the room and the people who delivered the news were laughing and giggling about where they were going to have lunch, Carderos or Cactus Club. They don't care. @sekeresandprice

@MilesTrav @cmaa726 @RealBlakeOwen So? There are a lot of crazy people in this world like you who are detected from reality.

@nxdark @cmaa726 @RealBlakeOwen Well, at least 14.4k people think it happens. Lol. I'm not even some big account and plenty of people are resonating with it.

Female at work saying unironically that it's "creepy" that a 31 year old coworker was flirting with a 28 y/o coworker because it's "crossing the decade line". What even are relationships in 2026? Everyone has made up more random rules than there are laws in the Old Testament.

@cmaa726 @MilesTrav @RealBlakeOwen I am a dude who works in a company that has more females than males. Shit he talks about just doesn't happen.

Exactly. The dude wrote a novel crashing out about his panicking about getting the “side eye” from every at work, and making this an excuse for men never talking to women. Then he calls me a feminist for calling him out on it. If you can’t handle a verbal confrontation with an old woman at work, This is weakness.

@MilesTrav @cmaa726 @RealBlakeOwen You are making a mountain out of a mole hill.

I don't think you understand just how damaging that kind of thing is. On a personal level, some people are going to look at him with side eye now, even though he did literally nothing wrong. Likely including his boss, and other people that are essential to his future at his job. He's going to be afraid to talk to girls in the future, and girls are going to wonder why he won't talk to them in the future. On a more selfish personal note, this now sets a precedent in the workplace, that if a guy like me who's even a couple years older than him, talks to a perfectly adult woman who happens to be a few years younger, now I might get side eye. Which now forces me to be more cautious as well, even if I'm on good terms with all of the women here and my bosses. On a societal note this is how you end up with less marriage, this is how you end up with guys not asking girls out, this is how you end up with girls being confused why guys ignore them. Plus you end up with girls getting with scumbags, because they're the only ones that still dare talk to them. And then they think every man is a narcissist because most normal guys won't talk to them. On a singular instance, it sounds like some unimportant little words. In the bigger picture it is civilizational damage that can bring down a society. This is exactly why we used to have strict social conventions, that spelled out what was acceptable and unacceptable, and everybody was taught them from a young age. So nobody got in trouble for normal activity, and everyone knew how to approach one another.

@SadClubCommish My mornings won't be the same. Good luck.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out. It has been heartwarming and humbling to hear from the community that has developed around HalBro. We’ll take some time for the dust to settle and see if we can’t return in some form or another. It’s gonna be a long rebuild anyway haha

@FireflyFaery @justBlakePrice No it is rational

@justBlakePrice I’m irrationally angry about this. Not just for the people at SN650 but for my fellow Canucks fans. Twice we’ve had our sports radio dismantled. Not everyone has the ability to stream while we are out and about.

I don't have words to console Mike and Jason, who have gone through this twice now. I'm sorry for all though, a ridiculous day to endure

@MelodramatikPic @amelia_tweetz Paying rent means nothing because you are not taking a risk by paying it. When you take on debt you are taking on risk. They need to see your risk history. And to make sure you have enough income to cover all your risks.

@amelia_tweetz Need proof you can afford the mortgage. We see you make enough but we need proof. How do you get proof if you don’t have a mortgage? But you’ve been paying rent at the same or higher for 12mo? And then your credit has to be 580+ but they care more about the income?!

Bank: We need proof you can afford a $2,000/month mortgage. Me: I’ve been paying $2,800/month in rent for years. Bank: Doesn’t count.

@DonOfSaintJohn @nucks0 Being a toxic piss of shit is not how you lead people to winning. That is how you lead them to losing because they wont follow you.

@nucks0 The “toxic piss baby” wanted to win You fairies are more than happy to toil in mediocrity while Petterson makes 11.6 to play like someone making 1/4 of that because he’s a “heckin unproblematic girlboss”

Luke Schenn would actually stand up to that toxic pissbaby JT Miller. No wonder shit went sideways when guys like him and Cole left the org. Welcome back, Luke!

@SeedOilDsrspctr @IterIntellectus Speak for yourself. My wife spends her own money and I spend mine.

@IterIntellectus And the wives spend it

married men don't earn more. men who earn more get married

@BreakerGol80811 @TheCADInvestor They serve the rich just like the Cons do

It’s simple, won’t happen. At least not a meaningful raise. The liberal government feeds off the people who don’t pay tax so none of that demographic contributes to a TFSA and they view those who do as “rich” instead of fiscally responsible. It serves the liberals nothing to raise it as it won’t increase their votes and will only decrease the amount collected in capital gains. They pander to the leaches, always will.

The TFSA limit feels way too low. It started at $5,000 in 2009. It’s now $7,000. Meanwhile, the cost of everything has gone vertical. Rent. Homes. Groceries. Childcare. Taxes. The TFSA is one of the few accounts that actually helps Canadians build real wealth tax-free. A $7K annual limit does not feel aggressive anymore. It feels outdated. Should Canada raise it?

@TheCADInvestor It shouldn't. You should still pay tax on the majority of your earnings.

@GrumpyGuy149642 @1loriking @M_Johnston1 @CailinasEirinn They have nothing to gain by doing this.

I don’t doubt MAID has many safeguards, but could a hospital administrator, unbeknownst to the medical staff, pressure someone and their family? People are claiming it’s impossible. Can’t happen. Forgive me if I’m far more suspicious. If there is any possibility whatsoever that the claim is true, it should be aggressively investigated. Let’s prove it right or wrong before we jump to conclusions either way, because ANY policy or program is subject to possible abuse. Plus, I dare say it’s the responsibility of government to both defend whistleblowers and fully investigate their claims.

2 yrs ago when I had surgery for cancer, the lady in the next bed was visited by a hospital administrator she had not met before, not her doctor, who stood at the end of her bed and said she had no option but to have MAID. The woman said “Absolutely not! I plan to get up and dance again”. The administrator then started to argue with her saying she had no choice but MAID without explaining why. The woman said “Well I’ll talk to my family when they come on Monday.” The administrator replied “They’re coming on Monday? Good, I’ll talk to them”. She headed off the family on Monday before they saw her and they came to our room primed to convince her she had to have MAID according to the hospital. She then argued with the family that she didn’t want it. During the day she was firm but at night when they weren’t there she cried. Ultimately they convinced her and started preparing a party for her to say goodbye to all her friends. So sad. And it has made me more skeptical about MAID procedures.

@GrumpyGuy149642 @M_Johnston1 @CailinasEirinn Because right wingers just want us to suffer. They are lairs and don't care about anyone but themselves.

@M_Johnston1 @CailinasEirinn This is why many oppose programs like MAID. How naive does someone need to be to think assisted suicide will never be abused by anyone at any time? The one poster calls you a liar and reported you. How do they know what you wrote didn’t happen?

@M_Johnston1 @CailinasEirinn You are a lying piece of garbage.

Great! Thanks! Ottawa General Hospital. I can give them the exact dates, and I’ll go to the hospital again to confirm the room number. So they’ll be able to confirm the woman’s name. My husband can also confirm what happened. And other people who visited me during the week that I was in the same room with the woman.

@jp_mc @mario4thenorth Most dont

@mario4thenorth It appears that the government is trying to put fear into the hearts of all Canadian parents by telling them that they don't know what's best for their own children. Am I missing something else?

This is the Prime Minister of Canada that just passed a law telling you how to raise your kids. I’m good bro.

@Noahpinion Nothing wrong with any of those things. Especially the productivity thing. We are a culture where we do not value this and don't value working ourselves to the bone for the ownership class. We want a slower pace of life.

Canada will not have civil conflict. It has the opposite problem -- it's too nice to have a serious open debate about its real problems: * Low productivity growth * Inability to retain talent * Provincial fragmentation * NIMBYism * The perverse incentives of MAID

@Noahpinion @ToonTownDano No it isn't. It is the greed of the ultra rich that ruins the world.

@ToonTownDano No it's identity. Outsiders don't understand this.

Note that I'm still optimistic about Canada in general! I don't think their strange version of wokeness will tear their society apart.
