@JustinWolfers I marked these words back in April 8,2025 The $100K 'bet' @JustinWolfers made was that DOW won't go over 50K before the end of Trump's second term as U.S. President. DOW now at 50,115.67 as of Feb 6,2026 So will @JustinWolfers be paying @RealPNavarro cash or cheque?

@ElCruzSeb Option #4 - Trump can show this video to Iran and tell them. This cabbage will be around long after we've wiped out your next batch of leaders/military generals.

NOBODY KNOWS HOW FUCKED THE TRUMP-IRAN SITUATION ACTUALLY IS RIGHT NOW. Iran just rejected the ceasefire. Refused to reopen Hormuz. Said the US "lacks readiness" for peace. Here is what that means for Trump. He has three options left. All three are catastrophic. ⚠️ OPTION 1: KEEP BOMBING The US is running low on stealth missiles after 38 days of strikes. Iran keeps charging $2,000,000 per ship to cross Hormuz. Every week of bombing costs America more than Iran loses. A French think tank already called this a "Triple Failure — military, economic, and political." This option does not end the war. It funds Iran. ⚠️ OPTION 2: NEGOTIATE WITH NO LEVERAGE Iran holds Hormuz. Iran holds the oil. Iran collects payments in Chinese yuan. Trump set 12 deadlines. Iran ignored every one. Every deadline that passes makes the next one weaker. Negotiating now means negotiating from the losing position Trump swore would never happen. ⚠️ OPTION 3: ESCALATE TO FORCE HORMUZ OPEN 35 countries are already begging for this to stop. Oil already surged $11 in one day — the worst energy shock since the 1970s. A full escalation risks turning a regional war into a global one. And Iran has already warned it will never return Hormuz "to its former state, especially for America." Let that sink in. Trump said "Iran has been essentially decimated" on week three. Day 38: Iran charges ships $2,000,000 to pass through the water Trump said he would liberate. There is no Option 4. There is no clean exit. The only entity making money right now is Iran. Bookmark this. Screenshot this. Come back in 5 days. i'm sitting on something right now that's going to shake your timeline.. hit follow before i drop it.

@RonAJenkins @AppleDoomsday @NeilPasricha @MarkJCarney After Porter started flying out of Pearson in 2021 they could have chosen CS100 instead of Embraer But in 2015 they weren't flying out of Pearson, only BBTCA so it wouldn't make sense to buy them then unless the airport was expanded?

Dear Prime Minister Mark Carney (@markjcarney), I was on the Toronto Ferry last year staring at our majestic waterfront. I saw paddlers, kayakers, dragon boaters, sailors, windsurfers, fishers, paddleboarders, water taxis, and cruisers all sharing the space in harmony. When we docked at Hanlan’s Point on the Toronto Islands I was surrounded by hikers, joggers, cyclists, birders, picnickers, swimmers, photographers, beachgoers, frisbee golfers, naturalists, and thousands of tourists and locals enjoying this lush ecological paradise surrounded by our sparkling freshwater lake. Please don’t destroy this by paving Lake Ontario. Three weeks ago Ontario Premier Doug Ford (@fordnation) announced he will "seize" Toronto’s Billy Bishop Airport (YTZ) in order to expand runways into Lake Ontario (1), bring in jets against the legal contracts governing the airport (2), and nix 14,000 mixed-use homes slated to go up on the shore (which taxpayers have already spent $1.4B developing). (3,4) Although this decision is not his to make — Billy Bishop is governed by the City of Toronto and the federal government (5) — Premier Ford says he will overrule the City to "bring in jets one way or another." (6,7) Premier Ford says he has the "full support" of your federal government to do this. (8) Prime Minister Carney: It is not too late. Please say no to expanding Billy Bishop airport into the lake. We don’t need this, we don’t want this, and we can’t afford this. We don’t need this. We can already go anywhere we want to go. I live right in downtown Toronto. I can be anywhere I want in the world, tomorrow. I can walk to bus, subway, streetcar, and UP express stations from my house and I fly 40x per year. In the past year I have been to over 35 airports on 3 continents and YYZ is one of the absolute best. In fact, in the past month it has won "Best Airport Staff in North America" (9), been ranked 4th in all of the Americas in efficiency (out of 50 airports) (10), and won Best Large Airport on the entire continent (an award it's won eight times in nine years.) (11) Right this second, checking Uber, I can get from my house by car to Toronto’s Pearson International Airport (YYZ) in 21 mins and to Toronto’s Billy Bishop Island Airport (YTZ) in 14 mins. Right this second, if someone at Union Station wanted to get to YYZ on public transit it would take 28 minutes (UP Express) and to YTZ would take 22 minutes (TTC streetcar). We are talking about a 6 minute time savings here. If we want to serve southwestern Ontario’s population with expanded jet service we simply need to use the 7000m of existing, high-capacity, under-utilized jet runways within 2 hours of Toronto at Hamilton (@flyYHM ), Waterloo (@flyYKF), and London (@flyYXU) versus entertaining a "special economic zone" to force a jet-strip into the most environmentally sensitive and densely populated waterfront in the country. We don’t want this. This tiny speck of ecological paradise provides critical respite from our dense and urban concrete jungle and is vital for mental health, community, and happiness. Over 400 peer-reviewed studies show urban forests and parks mitigate depression and anxiety and enhance overall mental well-being. (12) I know you agree because four days ago on March 31, 2026 you announced your "Force of Nature" strategy with the vision of "protecting, restoring, and valuing nature." This wonderful program declares a federal investment of $3.8 billion dollars into "protecting critical habitats and aligning industrial strategies with biodiversity conservation." (13, 14, 15) Also, I looked into the runway expansion into the lake that Premier Ford has promised. Right now the shortest jet runway in Canada is 1832m (YHM Hamilton, ON) and the shortest jet runway in the world is 1508m (LCY London City Airport, UK). There are also new Canadian Aviation Regulations (RESA) stating all runways need to add 150m on each end for safety. (16, 17, 18) Today the Billy Bishop runway is 1216m. (19) Even the most conservative assumption — building the shortest jet runway in the entire world! — still requires a minimum of 600m more runway to land jets. Here is a current aerial view of Billy Bishop Airport. (Photo 1 / attached) Here is an aerial view of Billy Bishop Airport with the smallest possible runway extension of 600m added. (Photo 2 / attached) (Of course this photo doesn’t include additional parking, hangers, gates, aprons, tarmacs, fueling stations, de-icing stations, blast fences, control towers, baggage carousels, taxi pickups … ) We can’t afford this. Premier Ford was first elected in 2018 as the right wing candidate (PC) with 40.5% of the vote (left wing side of NDP and Liberal was 53.2%) and campaigned as a fiscal conservative. (FN) He attacked the Liberals for their $6.7B deficit and vowed a "return to balanced budgets" that would "begin in 2019." (20, 21) Since then Premier Ford has won two more elections — with a nearly identical right / left vote split and record lows in voter turnout — and has now presided over 8 budgets. (22, 23) In order from 2019 to 2026 those eight budgets have been for *deficits* of $8.7B, $16.4B, $13.5B, $5.9B, $5.6, $1.1B, $12.3B, and, most recently, just announced last week on March 26, 2026, coming in at a 77% increase on his own 2025 forecasts, $13.8B. (24, 25) Since Premier Ford was elected he has *increased* Ontario’s debt from $338B to $485B. Ontario now pays $17.2B a year … just in interest payments. (26, 27, 28) Notably, Premier Ford’s most recent $13.8B deficit budget does not include any money for the projected $1-2B cost of expanding Billy Bishop airport. (Prime Minister, you and Premier Ford are both 61 and have a seemingly warm relationship despite wildly different education and business paths. (29, 30, 31, 32) Might you have time for some evening finance tutorials?) Prime Minister Carney: We don’t need this, we don’t want this, we can’t afford this. Please say no to this expansion plan. Please allow the legal agreements governing the airport to remain in the hands of those who legally own it — the City of Toronto and the federal government — and not with Premier Ford’s provincial government who is attempting to autocratically rule something in which it has no stake. At the Junos six days ago on March 29, 2026 you praised 82-year-old @jonimitchell and justifiably called her "one of the greatest artists of all time." (33) Joni warned us about "paving paradise to put up a parking lot" and now that’s exactly what Premier Ford is proposing we do. The Toronto Harbour, Toronto Harbourfront, and Toronto Islands are a crown jewel for the functioning of our great city, our great province, and our great country. Would New York City pave over Central Park? Would Paris put runways on the Seine? We absolutely should not pave the paradise of Lake Ontario to put up runways and parking lots we don’t need, don’t want, and can’t afford. It's not too late. Please say no.

@RonAJenkins @Invisible_plane @NeilPasricha @MarkJCarney "BBD lost to Embraer by Porter's choice, not because of lost YTZ expansion." Idiocy. It had everything to do with NoJets. Bombardier lost the deal and thus sold the last of Canada's aviation future away. Canada entered a 'lost decade' because of this NIMBYism.

@AppleDoomsday @Invisible_plane @NeilPasricha @MarkJCarney In 2013 Porter claimed a "conditional" order for BBD CS-100 jets (now Airbus A220-100). The Porter Jets Proposal died in 2015. Porter started buying Embraer E195-E2 jets for elsewhere, not BBD/Airbus. BBD lost to Embraer by Porter's choice, not because of lost YTZ expansion.

We need to find way to reduce the cost of being new parents. 1. Make the costs of having a small child fully deductible. 100% deduction for formula, diapers, cribs, car seats and clothing for the first three years. These are huge costs for young families. 2. Have a one year tax holiday (capped at 50k of taxes) for your second child and each child thereafter. Try out some new ideas and see what happens!

🚨🇺🇸 The Artemis II toilet is back online. After 2 hours of pointing it at the sun. The fix for a $23 million space toilet was: sunlight. 4 astronauts heading to the Moon just had to wait for their bathroom to thaw. NASA called it a "waste dump." The crew probably called it a very long morning. I call it the most ingenious troubleshoot ever. @dpoddolphinpro
