“What is the definition of a woman?” That simple question causes Liberal MPs to have a total meltdown and make international news.

RT @Jason: This is classless and dangerous. You’re a disgrace @globeandmail

Incredible! It was a great show!

I’m now hearing he had an ATPL-H instead of an ATPL-A. In other words he had an ATPL specific only to helicopters and did not have one for Aeroplanes, but somehow slipped thru the cracks.

What an embarrassment for Toronto’s GTAA

TELL’EM ABOUT TONIGHT 🔥 Thank you @lukecombs for two incredible back-to-back nights in Toronto

Great @lukecombs show last night at the Rogers Stadium!

Every airline has a different policy on whether and when the window shades need to be open. At Air Canada it’s only the emergency exits that need to have their window shades open during takeoff and landing.

Sorry we don’t accept snow pesos

June skeds out. Didn’t manage to hold long call reserve but happy to get the days off I needed to see @lukecombs live!

Having been through an airline shutdown and job loss myself, my heart goes out to fellow aviators at Spirit Airlines. I hope you’re all able to land on your feet relatively quickly.

Tonight the Boston Bruins are playing the Buffalo Sabres in Buffalo. Two American teams. Buffalo always has someone sing both National Anthems before their games. When the microphone cut out the crowd took over. This is how our American friends treat us. With respect. This is what being classy looks like. Canadians can learn something.

I see nothing wrong with this. Many Canadians want the same thing.

Omg this is too funny!

My latest @financialpost article is out - and it examines a surprising proposal from former Google CFO Patrick Pichette at the recent Liberal convention. “You want to go to the U.S.? Give me back my money,” he said, suggesting Canadian graduates repay what he wildly estimated to be $500,000 in taxpayer-supported education if they leave. He also called for shutting down the TN visa program - in an attempt to trap youth to Canada - “apparently unaware or unconcerned that the TN is an American program under the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement that Canada has no authority to cancel.” It’s a proposal rooted in a familiar instinct: make it harder to leave. Trap them. “Most people change their entire relationship with a room the moment they sense a door is closing behind them…” We’ve seen this before. “In 2023, Australia consulted on changes to its tax residency rules that would have made it easier to enter the system and considerably harder to leave.” “Critics called it ‘adhesive residency’…” Canada already imposes real costs - especially on successful people. “Paragraph 128.1(4)(b) of the Income Tax Act…deems individuals…to have disposed of their worldwide assets…” with some exceptions. “Canada already aggressively participates in the success of those who leave.” And yet: “The growing number of successful Canadians who are leaving… is not a theoretical trend…” “Entrepreneurs don’t leave because they stopped caring about Canada; they leave because it stopped making it worthwhile to stay.” But for younger Canadians, this proposal goes further. “…more troubling: not taxing accumulated wealth…but financially penalizing them for choosing where to build their careers before they have built anything at all.” “This form of economic indenture - an exit penalty - would have predictable results: earlier departures…” The core issue remains: “The real issue is why successful Canadians and the next generation…are leaving.” “The answer is not complicated: economic opportunities are greater elsewhere.” The solution isn’t penalties - it’s better policy. “Is trapping people the right answer? Of course not.” “The solution is to ensure economic policies don’t get in the way of success and encourage risk-taking rather than discourage it.” “Canada needs comprehensive tax reform…” “That should include ‘Big Bang’ reforms…that meaningfully reduce tax rates…and provide greater policy stability…” “These reforms would make Canada a destination for foreign capital and talent rather than a cautionary tale…” Because in the end: “Traps don’t inspire loyalty; they inspire escape and public policy built on them will, too.” Link to my In the Mood With Kim G C Moody Podcast episode on this topic in thread below. financialpost.com/personal-f…

A $500000 tax to prevent Canadians from taking job opportunities outside of Canada. This is a new level of overreach being proposed!

I had no idea this was to get around CRTC rules

Mark Carney is seizing a costly Liberal majority that voters denied him, and doing so through backroom deals. In January, MP Gladu said that floor crossers should face voters in a byelection to give voters the final say. I could not agree more. She should do so. The people in her community voted for our Conservative vision of a Canada that is affordable, safe, and strong at home, not for the costly Liberal government she has now joined. She should honour her word and let voters decide.
