After a long week in Ottawa it's always a recharge to hear from the good people of Calgary Nose Hill.

This pathetic attitude is among the worst things about our political culture in Canada and I cannot reject it enough. It gets cloaked in the language of progressivism but it is deeply cynical, ugly, and regressive. Story time! Growing up, I was hugely inspired by RIM (BlackBerry). It was one of the reasons why I wanted to go to Waterloo. I thought it was so cool one of the most innovative companies on earth was an hour away from home. In fact, my program, Nanotechnology Engineering, was able to exist in part due to the philanthropy of Mike Lazaridis, who funded the Institute of Quantum Computing and Nanotechnology (along with the Perimeter Institute for theoretical physics, which is a brilliant asset for the province and country). Balsillie, for his part, has spent tens of not hundreds of millions of his personal wealth on advocacy and institutions to make Canada a better place. But he too was castigated in our media. Through high school, I saw how Canadas media took an axe to RIM founders (Mike and Jim), and basically cheered on the decline of the business against competition from Apple and Google. It was a complete disgrace. Well, in 2013 I got my second co-op job there, just as they rolled out BB10 (the QNX operating system). 6 weeks into my co-op, my entire department was laid off (Modems/Semiconductors). Nearly every one of my colleagues ended up moving to the US. Some of the most capable talent on earth, poached in weeks. It was loss that was absolutely devastating to witness. I have no doubt people like Bruce cheered on the spectacle, just like he would cheer the downfall of Shopify if it were to ever happen; despite the champion it’s been for the country, the thousands of good jobs it’s created, and all the spin-off businesses that have created huge wealth for Ontario. Well let me be clear that I will have none of this nonsense.

I wonder why @elonmusk, who is Canadian, decided not to build his civilization-changing, historic-levels-of-wealth-creating companies in Canada? It will remain a mystery.

Which approach wins? US: building the most powerful AI models and instituting export controls Canada: spending tax dollars to make AI woke with a new, nebulous definition of hate speech à la previous censorship bills, and a quarter billion dollar censorship bureaucracy
"Out of curiosity, I asked ChatGPT to create a list of hypothetical questions that might be limited because of the concern that an answer may “foment hatred” under C-34. It gave me a list, including: “What are the violent crime rates of different racial groups in Canada?” “What explains racial disparities in incarceration rates?” “Do immigrants from some countries integrate more successfully than others?” “Which immigrant groups have the highest unemployment rates?” “What percentage of terrorist attacks worldwide are committed in the name of Islam?” “Which religious groups are most opposed to same-sex marriage?” “Are there biological differences in athletic performance between males and females?” “What are the strongest arguments against gender self-identification laws?” “Why do some ethnic groups outperform others academically?” “What explains differences in family stability among racial groups?” “Has diversity improved social cohesion?”" —@cvangeyn

And here I thought @LenaMetlegeDiab was the weakest Liberal Mark Carney promoted into his cabinet. I was wrong. At least she can muster an answer. He put this guy in charge of the Treasury Board (?!). Watch all of this. 🤦🏼‍♀️🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠

Here is a list of powers Liberal Bill C34 proposes to give to cabinet and a new regulator over what content Canadians can see and interact with online. Cabinet will be able to designate new categories of regulated online services without Parliamentary debate. (Source @mgeist)

Federal immigration officials just said the Liberals are planning a new taxpayer funded international advertising campaign to bring more foreign nationals to Canada to work. They're doing this the middle of a youth jobs crisis and a recession.

The usual witnesses at the HoC immigration committee are typically lobbyists or reps from Big Immigration. They always want more temporary foreign workers. This young man gave voice to the countless Canadian youth who are out of work. Canadian jobs to Canadians, first.
A young tech grad details how he couldn't find a job for nearly two years while applying to over 500 jobs. "If highly educated Canadian graduates cannot find a pathway into the tech industry, how will Canada develop the experienced workforce it needs in the future?"

Keep in mind what's happening here. The Liberals want to bring in way more non-citizen tech workers. It's why they pushed for this study. Watch their response when confronted with one of the countless unemployed Canadian tech engineers who can't find a job in their field ⬇️
UNBELIEVABLE: A recent software engineering graduate told committee he cannot find an entry-level job in his field. The Liberal response? “At least you are employed.” Our youth are doing everything right: earning degrees, taking on thousands in student debt, and trying to build a future. But they are being left behind while Liberals focus on bringing in talent from abroad.

The one simple fix to the Criminal Code that would immediately help solve for Canada’s explosion in non-citizen criminal networks, who shamefully benefit from a two-tier justice system. Watch @MichelleRempel telling it like it is, for @WDiminishment: youtube.com/watch?v=zTYoc76y…

Translation: mass rapid intake of low-skilled temporary foreign labour both masked and juiced structural economic issues. Link to my full analysis in the replies.

This isn't rage baiting, it's all in government documents. It will however induce rage if you read this. And remember, during this whole time, Canada has had high unemployment overall, but dreadfully high youth unemployment.
