You can only choose 3️⃣ for the rest of your life. Which of these Canadian candy treats are you keeping? 🍫 🇨🇦

You also don’t walk out of college or university expecting to buy a new 4 bedroom house, two cars, boats, skidoos, etc. The reason you struggle is because you aren’t willing to wait and make do like we did. Your entitlement is causing you to struggle.

BREAKING: The Alberta government has introduced legislation that would limit MAID eligibility to patients whose death is reasonably foreseeable within 12 months, making it the first province in Canada to place this kind of restriction on federally permitted assisted dying. Justice Minister Mickey Amery tabled the bill Wednesday alongside Premier Danielle Smith, who said the province is “highly skeptical” of the federal government’s push to broaden MAID access. Under the proposed law, mental illness alone would not qualify a person for MAID, advance requests would be prohibited, and health-care providers would be barred from referring patients to out-of-province assessors. Practitioners could also not bring up MAID unless the patient raises it first, and facilities would be restricted from publicly displaying any MAID-related information. Sanctions for violating provincial rules would range from mandatory retraining up to licence revocation.

For the record. Canadian investors should ignore the partisan noise and performative outrage surrounding the current U.S. administration; what matters for Canada is policy, not personality, and the hard facts are that our economy, our security and our markets are still inextricably tied to the United States. As John F. Kennedy reminded Parliament in 1961, ‘Geography has made us neighbours. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners. And necessity has made us allies.’ For investors, that enduring reality matters far more than the latest viral clip or talking point.

Ruth Maguire (SNP), who is stepping down as an MSP due to a cancer diagnosis: “I find it really hard to put into words the impact that the language of dignity and compassion being used to talk about ending life has had on me—as if somehow wishing to carry on but with help is undignified and burdensome, unfair to people who love me… “My blood runs cold thinking about sitting in a room in a hospital and having a doctor raise that with me as we weigh up treatment options… “If it weighs so heavily on me, someone in a position of financial privilege, with a large loving family who are able to care for each other—indeed, someone whose job it’s been for 10 years to have difficult conversations… I want colleagues to see how this all plays out for people who don’t have the privilege that we have. “And in doing so, let’s have our eyes open to the strain our health and social care systems are under.”
