A Beautiful Mind is definitely my favourite movie about a game theorist. What’s your second favourite?

JD Vance is the kind of guy who brags about how obsessed he is with children’s genitals.

At the @PatMillsCanada #G7 panel on tax policy, our senior economist @DTCochrane delivered a clear message: 👉 Decades of tax cuts failed workers and fuelled inequality. 👉 Fair taxation and an excess profits tax are essential to rebuild public services and restore balance.

What even is Canadian content in 2025? Ownership? Voice? Location? Vibe? As the CRTC revisits the rules, this moment is about whether we shape and protect our own culture, or just rent space for it. We discussed streaming + sovereignty on CBC's Commotion

The raccoon killer thinks rainbows are inappropriate for children.
I picked up L'il Hopper today and a teacher was wearing rainbow flag socks, a rainbow cowboy hat and a rainbow tutu. So I'm not sure where this teacher got the crazy idea that it was appropriate to impose her sexuality on minors. https://t.co/Qc994IDBMQ

Market fundamentalist and corporate apologists are invested in undermining democratic governance. Casting doubt on our electoral system is an insidious way to destabilize public trust.

At best, posts like the above are bursting through an open door, since strong review mechanisms are in place. At worst, it is intended to cast doubt on our democratic systems.

There are mechanisms in place to identify mistakes with elections to avoid repeating them.

Please don’t fall for this. Yes, mistakes are made. But when you consider the complexity of running and election for millions of people across Canada’s land mass, election officials do an amazing job.
Today we learned that Elections Canada made a mistake in Terrebonne with the return address written on the envelope of one voter. So her vote (for the Bloc) was never received and never counted. In this riding, it literally means the Liberal MP didn't win (since she won by 1

Danielle Smith is a publicly-paid lobbyist for oil & gas corporations. The separatist movement serves their interests not the interest of Albertans.
Fox News (Donald Trump’s favourite TV media outlet) is saying that Danielle Smith’s flirtation with separatism will strengthen Trump’s hand with Carney and may even pave the way for Alberta to become the 51st state. Our Premier is literally a traitor.

Imagine if someone like this had been in charge during the early pandemic or during the Panic of 2008.

Periodic reminder that eliminating the “operating deficit” is a meaningless distinction from a public accounting perspective.

Electoral stunts have a long, proud history in Canada. In 1988, the Rhinoceros Party ran a candidate named John Turner in the riding of Liberal leader John Turner. It’d be great if partisans of all stripes both loosened up and grew up.

Brian and Andrew have far more in common with each other than they do with anyone outside the punditocracy.
Andrew Coyne is the embodiment of the Laurentian Elite. He is a Globe and CBC pundit who is out of touch with the reality of Canada. His view of Canada extends from one end of Rosedale to the other. Spector is right.

Danielle Smith’s chief of staff demands empathy while his government extends none. Pay attention to whose costs conservatives think should be socialized and whose should be privatized.
Just going to get this over with CBC reporter @JuliaWongCBC I have a blood disorder called Factor V Leiden. If I’m sitting upright for extended periods, my blood pools and clots which can break off the inside of my veins and cause a fatal embolism or stroke. It’s almost killed

Because Premiers should represent average people rather than corporate elites.
Don’t know why so many commentators are freaking out about @ABDanielleSmith’s entirely reasonable demands of the Carney government. She’s using the leverage she has to advance her province’s interests. Which is what she and every premier is elected to do.

There is no daylight between the economic policies of the Carney Liberals and the CPC. The Conservatives even complained about Carney lifting their policies. But now Conservatives on here are acting like the world is ending. What is the actual complaint?
