Give a poor person $2,000, and it's instantly recirculated into the economy when they need to buy necessities. Give a large company $2,000, and they'll store it offshore, say they have no more money, and ask for another $2,000.
🇨🇦 hit this predator with lighter charges so it won’t impact his ability to apply for citizenship, sponsor his wife, & be licensed in a professional industry. Most countries make a person ineligible for citizenship when committing a crime like this. 🤷♂️ nationalpost.com/opinion/jamie-…

🇨🇦: feels like it should have been bigger news that the former head of an airport “pledged support” for a fentanyl trafficking mobster.
Musician known for biting the head off a bat, killed by vaccine to fight disease caused by bat… is a hell of a take. fyi Ozzy Osbourne was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2019, and actually said he was going through “hell.”
The iconic Ozzy Osbourne has died suddenly after years of illness which mysteriously started after getting vaccinated. The Black Sabbath lead singer cancelled concerts after experiencing blood clots in his legs, and had a filter placed in his artery to protect spread to his…
tl;dr 🇨🇦 - Young professionals, who can’t afford to buy a home, hand over 40% of their salary in taxes; - the gov then gives it to institutional landlords to build rentals to charge the “affordable” rent of 30% of their salary It’s a mystery why they can’t afford a home.
After holding off Russia for over 3 years, Ukrainians face a sneak attack—its Parliament wants centralized power & immunity from public scrutiny. Just a friendly reminder that basically every high level politician is now a supervillain with no low. wsj.com/world/europe/u…

Does anyone in 🇨🇦 actually care what the auditor general does? She literally just alleged corruption at a fund the gov refused to disclose over, which deadlocked parliament & forced an election…. Only for the public to re-elect the same people who just f*cked them.

Gov: You’re a money laundering risk if you try to withdraw your own cash. Also Gov: we don’t need to check if anyone is actually showing up to that short-term rental, right? People from overseas just really like $5k/night run down shacks with almost no furniture.

🇨🇦: Toronto is putting POO on its transit system, so keep your transfers.
As of today, TTC Fare Inspectors will now be known as Provincial Offences Officers. These employees will also be wearing new uniforms. You can spot them in grey shirts and a Provincial Offences Officer vest. To learn more, visit: bit.ly/4m1MeKu
In May alone, $16.2 billion in capital fled Canada. Over the last 4 months? Nearly $84 billion has left. That’s money leaving our economy under the Carney Liberals. Fewer jobs, less growth & a weaker economy.
Europe: *becomes irrelevant after decades of exploiting its young, & only focusing on property values—which ultimately collapse* 🇨🇦: We should be more like Europe.
🇨🇦: Ontario’s Gov is quietly asking some recently licensed truck drivers to redo their exams. Golly ghee whiz, I’m shocked. This is my shocked face btw: 🙃 trucknews.com/regulations/mt…
Neither 🇨🇦 & 🇺🇸 are saying what the drug-border conflict is about out loud, so I guess I’ll do it. This is about 🇨🇦’s trucking industry & Ontario’s truck driving schools that popped up overnight. <thread> 🧵👇
Don't forget, Carney's Bill C-5 is companion legislation to Ontario's Bill 5. These pieces of legislation are meant to enable Ford's "Fortress Am-Can" plan, which is chock full of land theft, extraction and anti-democratic corporate fiefdoms. Some related reading below.

Most of 🇨🇦 responding to why it re-elected a gov that deadlocked parliament by refusing to disclose for an investigation into graft:
🇨🇦: sure, it’ll cost the equivalent of 5% of Montréal’s GDP to renovate its airport. Why not? It’s not like anyone cares—but just for context Singapore, the world’s best airport, is creating a whole luxury terminal dubbed a “city within a city” for the same cost.
