Imagine waking up tomorrow and every billionaire vanished. Most people would still go to work. Food would still be grown. Roads would still be built. Hospitals would still operate. Now imagine every worker vanished. That's the difference between wealth and value.

Marco Rubio just compared Trump’s ‘vision’ to bring UFC to the Whitehouse to JFK’s vision to put a man on the moon This administration is seriously delusional

Elections Alberta says the October referendum will require hiring at least 60,000 workers and printing 45 million ballots. That will cost Albertans nearly five times what the last provincial election cost — up to $100 million — all so Danielle Smith can keep her deal with the separatists. Imagine what that money could do for healthcare, education, or addressing the affordability crisis. The UCP and Danielle Smith have the wrong priorities.

The United States has a higher GDP than Canada, but the average Canadian is better off. As we grow wealth through new major projects and new trade agreements, let's continue to make sure we all benefit.

The lack of morning weather balloons launched across the western and central U.S. is having a real, tangible impact on degrading forecast quality. We can't look at weather balloon data that doesn't exist. We can't pump nonexistent data into models. We can't rely as heavily on models that don't "know" what's happening above our heads. Today's severe weather forecast is less certain because we don't have weather balloon data to confirm the strength of jet stream winds aloft. This is extremely frustrating, and is the result of logistical, organizational, political and budgetary decisions.

Jets at Billy Bishop: ▶️ would reduce 8,000 new homes planned for 37,000 residents ▶️ could require 86,000 existing homes "to have restrictions on balconies and outdoor space, non-operable windows and mechanical ventilation" because of noise and pollution #ONpoli #Cdnpoli
Billy Bishop airport expansion could limit building heights and reduce livability for thousands of new homes: report trib.al/3qA0sX6

A lot of the big data centers will be obsolete, some even before they’re complete Latest technology is running on much smaller scales
Carney has announced a new AI strategy to ramp up adoption of the tech-bro-touted technology in a way that he says “serves all Canadians.” But BIG questions are lingering about how this aggressive ramp up will play out in a world where data centres guzzle water and destroy the environment:

"Trickle down economics doesn't work, so let's try piñata economics. That's the one where we beat the billionaires until the hoarded wealth falls out."
