It has come to my attention that many people are not aware that my book about Justin Trudeau's prime ministership is now available in convenient paperback format, with a gripping new afterword that covers his final months in office. Christmas is coming!

VU: L'Odyssey Christopher Nolan nous a habitués à de géniales transgressions. Dans Memento, Inception, Interstellar, Tenet et Oppenheimer, il fait preuve d'originalité et d'audace. Fut-il trop impressionné par le materiau de L'Odyssée pour pousser, là aussi, l'enveloppe ? Le résultat est un excellent film d'aventures, mais pas une plongée dans l'âme du héros mythique qu'on aurait espéré. C'est dommage. (@ChristianRioux7 exprime parfaitement ma pensée ici: open.substack.com/pub/christianr…) En salles. Autres suggestions: jflisee.org/a-voir-mes-der…

Leichnitz: "There's also a tell in how the Americans have organized their tariffs. If you look at what is targeted, they are trying to divide Canada regionally. It's very clear."

He gets one vote, just like the rest of us and if he wants to be treated with respect, he should speak of others with respect.
Phil Ngo@philngo_

Love him or hate him. I don’t really care, everyone is entitled to their opinion in a democracy. Instead of asking @tobi to clarify his position/proposal, people decided to ragebait his response that his proposal doesn’t care about poor people lol. Well here you go, I did the research for you. Anyone that has paid any goods/services taxes are eligible. One thing that isn’t debatable are numbers. And the contributions that Shopify has made for the Canadian economy and government tax revenues is not something Canada can afford to lose. Yet alone the amount of builders that are derived from their work. Even if you took a fraction of the 7,600 worldwide jobs this company has created, the amount of employer taxes (CPP/EI), corporate tax (~$75M in income taxes reported in 23-25) and the value of this company. So when people dunk on Tobi/Shopify, please let Canadians know how you plan to pay for the public service gaps to help the poor you care so much about if you chase away builders/companies like this from your rhetoric.

@stphnmaher new way to tell young people how old I am just dropped: my Dad was birthed at home by his mother, by herself. The doc arrived from Parrsboro three days later. Not sure what his mode of transportation was.

@dpriest I drove there recently, and wondered what the people of that place call themselves.

@august_mk @stphnmaher @ddebow @chris_retterath I guess that's the crux of the issue. People who don't pay any taxes will be voting to increase taxes on the people who pay a majority of the income tax in Canada. To you that's fair and to me that seems not fair. I guess we just disagree.

The confidence of the tech bros in their authoritarian political ideas suggests that normal people need to contradict them publicly and forcefully until they get the point. You want respect, you show respect.

@ddebow @PWBaugh @chris_retterath @Stasmo I think that's a good idea, but I I am not sure you can make it compulsory. You have to consider the political impact of that carefully first. I say make it voluntary at first.

we don’t have national service anymore, but did. and yes - it’s a fair question as to whether maybe we have swung the pendulum so far that citizens expect and are entitled to things - but have not considered corresponding obligations. In the spirit of provoking discussion I wrote this - buildcanada.com/memos/civic-se… I hope this is not toxic to consider.
