A truly Canadian tradition! I have some great memories skating on the Canal with family. Every Canadian and vistor to the area should experience this wonder filled opportunity.

Rumour is that Carney is freaking out at the very real consequences he will have to face when the bottom falls out and has begun to make his exit plan. As the whispers of his exit plan slowly reach cabinet the fears they have must be immense. Carney left Britain like the breeze but most of his cabinet can't just escape like him. How quickly it is about to unfold for the Liberals, if the rumors are true and how quickly will they start pushing back once they all get wind he's about to bail? THAT'S THE STORY. I know you all are getting funded not to pay attention but if you want jobs after he bolts somebody should probably raise a brow.

@FrankCaputoKTN It's a swamp thing. They don't have to answer to you and neither you the PM or any party thinks they have to answer to us. Canada has fallen. Do us a solid and kill the lights on your way out of parliament and don't forget to bring the flag.

I’m in QP. The PM answered a few questions. Now he smugly sits, silently, as he’s asked questions about whether we’re in a recession or a “technical recession”? He won’t rise to answer. He just lets his ministers stumble. Leaders answer. Why won’t the Prime Minister answer?

@HelenaKonanz @cydertyme Keep an eye out for a dude named Rogers driving a shredder truck up to parliament because those records could be vanished as quickly as if Reid Morden was driving the truck himself. 30 years. Seriously?

You deserve to know how $300 million was wasted on PrescribeIT. Yet the Liberals have turned off the cameras, shut down meetings and sealed records for 30 years to block any attempt to investigate. Contrary to her claims, the Liberal Minister of Health has not answered how her department mismanaged a $300 million fax machine replacement service for an entire decade. Conservatives at the Health Committee are prepared to work through the entire summer if that's what it takes to get answers for taxpayers.

Manson’s warning is this: Smart people are not immune to stupidity. In fact, intelligence can make stupidity worse when it becomes a tool for defending ego, ideology, status, or identity instead of testing reality. The danger is not low intelligence. The danger is high intelligence captured by a bad model. A normal person gets hit by reality and may say, “Maybe I was wrong.” An intellectual idiot gets hit by reality and says, “Let me explain why reality failed to understand my theory.” That is the warning in one sentence: The smarter you are, the better you can become at rationalizing your own nonsense. Carney is the perfect modern example of Manson’s warning. Not because he is stupid. That would be too easy. Carney is obviously intelligent, highly credentialled, globally connected, and fluent in the language of elite management. That is exactly the danger. He is not some backbench fool wandering into traffic with a clipboard. He is the polished version of the problem: the man with the beautiful model, the perfect vocabulary, the right institutions behind him, and a country full of ordinary people being told not to notice that reality is not matching the spreadsheet. Carney’s pitch is basically this: trust the expert, trust the process, trust the transition, trust the plan. But Canada has already had a decade of experts, models, climate plans, immigration models, fiscal anchors, productivity speeches, housing announcements, industrial strategies, and central-bank confidence theatre. And what do we have? A technical recession, weak productivity, falling or stagnant living standards, and a country where GDP can be massaged upward while the average person feels poorer. Even the Bank of Canada has warned that Canada’s productivity weakness is costing the country heavily, with GDP roughly 9% lower than it could have been had Canada matched other G7 productivity growth since 2000. That is not a rounding error. That is national underperformance wearing a tie. This is where the “intellectual idiot” problem kicks in. The smart man does not say, “My model failed.” He says the data are “uneven.” He says the transition is complex. He says the reforms need time. He says the pain is part of the cure. Fine. Maybe some of that is true. But ordinary Canadians have been living inside elite experiments for years, and the bill keeps arriving in their mailbox. Higher housing costs. Lower productivity. Worse affordability. More bureaucracy. Less private-sector confidence. The map keeps getting defended while the territory burns. Carney’s defenders think his résumé protects him from criticism. It does the opposite. The more decorated the expert, the higher the standard should be. A man who ran central banks, advised governments, lectured on productivity, and sold himself as the adult in the room does not get to shrug when the room catches fire. He owns the assumptions. He owns the model. He owns the results. That is the brutal lesson from Manson’s essay: intelligence is not wisdom. Credentials are not judgement. Expertise is not humility. And when a smart person becomes emotionally invested in his own theory of the world, he can become more dangerous than a fool, because the fool is limited by incompetence. The intellectual idiot has footnotes, committees, forecasts, and the confidence to keep steering straight into the ditch. Carney may understand global finance. But Canada does not need another man who can explain decline in sophisticated language. Canada needs someone willing to admit the model is broken.

@DEngerdahl @NewsroomGC Thanks for the follow. I just think it'd be hilarious to effect a revolution from the GofC's own x propaganda account.

@DEngerdahl @NewsroomGC The government of Canada says they don't monitor this account. If anyone's thinking it's time to start a revolution, I suggest sharing plans here.

@CherieBeneteau You, me and I think (honestly believe) millions of other Canadian's feel the same way. Thanks for being out here and sharing your passion and resolve. Somethings gotta give. Hang in there.

@ConaghanCasey Great idea I think it is difficult cause we are so suppressed but I'm willing to try anything

I have been heartbroken after seeing the footage of Henry Nowak. I am in solidarity with my brit counterparts fighting back. But I also see similarities happening in Canada. They intend to start policing any dissent just like the British with their stolen majority they are ramming thru bills c-9 and c-22 which will criminalize any speach against the terrorists that they have brought to this country. While allowing catch and release for these terrorists. We have political prisoners already in Canada. We cannot organize a large protest like britan because our country is too spread out. We are sitting ducks.

@elonmusk @brivael Agreed. These yahoo's with their apple's couldn't make a buck on the stock market even if they traveled back in time.

@brivael Earth is so very tiny compared to space

You are completely idiot and brain dead. Space will unlock : Hotel on the moon. Astéroïde mining. Amusement park on the moon. Travel to mars. The infrastructure to build Dyson sphere. And infinite other cool stuff. Brain dead you are. Space X will be between 30 and 50T in few years. It’s a no brainer.

I don’t even know what it means to be Canadian anymore 💯🇨🇦

Nailed it. 'We cannot organize a large protest like britan because our country is too spread out. We are sitting ducks.' There is an equivalent though. Every city, town even hamlet in Canada has a city hall, library or post office. A national strike could focus on any or all three of these spots, locally. Barring that, Tim Hortons might benefit from some true Canadian pressure. Or is it Canadian's might benefit from that kind of pressure on Tim Hortons? Either way, I'm sure you get where I'm going with this.

Groked it for u: It's a quirk of English etymology and historical spelling conventions. There's no deep logical rule—English spelling is often irregular like this—but here's the breakdown. merriam-webster.com Origin of "Forty""Forty" traces back to Old English (around the 7th–11th centuries) as a compound: feowertig or similar forms like féowurtig / feuortig. This combined feower (meaning "four") + -tig (a suffix for "group of ten," related to "-ty" in twenty, thirty, etc.). yourdictionary.com In Middle English, it appeared in many spellings (fowwerrtig, feortig, fourty, forty, etc.). The version without the "u" (forty) gained traction by the 16th century. merriam-webster.com Why "Four" Has a "U" but "Forty" Doesn'tThe modern "four" (with "ou") evolved from forms that kept or added the "u" sound/spelling. "Forty," however, developed from a shortened or reduced form of the Old English compound where the vowel behaved differently (often with a shorter sound). Compounds like this didn't always follow the same path as the base word "four." facebook.com Related numbers like fourteen and twenty-four are built directly on the modern "four," so they keep the "u." But "forty" (and fortieth) follows its own historical line. merriam-webster.com Standardization"Forty" (no "u") has been common since at least the 1500s–1600s. William Shakespeare used it this way. "Fourty" (with "u") was a real variant that hung around into the 18th century in some texts, but it faded. Factors like the King James Bible (which used "forty") helped cement the current spelling. reddit.com By modern times, dictionaries and usage settled firmly on forty. "Fourty" is now considered a common misspelling. In short, it's an "ill-formed but accepted spelling" that won out through centuries of inconsistent English evolution—no grand conspiracy, just linguistic history doing its messy thing. English loves these inconsistencies (think "one" vs. "once," or all the silent letters). If it were perfectly phonetic or consistent, it wouldn't be English! Sleep tight.

Have a great night everyone, I'm out. ✌🏼

@GordonGChang I take that back. Fuck diplomacy. Get your head out of your ass, Gordon!

Pay attention. Your neighbor is already broken! I know. I live here, in Canada and many of us would welcome the potential intervention of a neighbor. Our current government like you said is too busy making deals with communist China to see the value of a strong and unified neighborhood. Unlike our government and yourself, at least @POTUS is a neighbor who doesn't have his head so high in the clouds that he's taken notice of a friend in need. NOTE: The phrase 'head so high in the clouds' was changed in the interest of diplomacy. Wouldn't want to offend a neighbor who gives so little a crap about us - like @GordonGChang - that like our own government would sooner sit by and let Canada fall to communist sympathizers.

Trump has issued another one of his Canada-as-51st-state Truth Social postings. At a time we need a strong relationship with Ottawa—China is successfully wooing Prime Minister Carney—causal calls to break up our neighbor are not helpful.
