Just a reminder to all those who believe that Ukraine is doomed without US support: the GDP of Canada alone is larger than that of Russia - and is only a little less than the GDPs of Russia, North Korea and Iran combined. Yes, Canada alone. Now consider that the combined GDPs of Canada, the UK, the EU, Australia, South Korea and Ukraine’s other supporters absolutely dwarfs those of Russia and its supporters, excepting the People’s Republic of China, which isn’t even giving full-throated support…

Trump will be the oldest president ever and is already showing cognitive decline. Yes, he'll be in the White House, but probably not in the driver's seat. I think that's why Elon Musk worked so hard to elect Trump and to position himself within the administration.

Immigrants are 80% more likely to start a business than U.S.-born citizens.

They're not “taking jobs.” They're creating them.

Don't believe the fearmongering.

The first man-child I hear utter “your body, my choice” to a woman in Canada is getting beaten senseless with his own truck nuts. I didn’t spend my entire adult life in uniform just to see that kind of BS take root here. And yes I know there have always been men who think that way, but I had always assumed/hoped that they were a small minority.

If there could be a positive here… we in Canada have a bird’s eye view in what could happen if we elect the CONServatives.

You’ll be missed, Mark. Just don’t stop doing this newsletter! 😎

I think free speech is excellent… I just worry that Elon and his ilk (good band name?) don’t think there are consequences for free speech. Toddlers seem to have better impulse control but I’m sticking around Twitter for now. Time will tell if I’m a musician playing while the titanic sinks…

I think Twitter has been used as a platform to manipulate reality via language for at least a decade. The meanest, unhinged people are absolutely glued to that site. It’s a good thing to walk away from it, regardless of Elon or not.

I was kicked off Twitter a few months back for asserting that Nazis ought to be killed. I’m fine with that.

Musk may be rich but he’s an amoral idiot, like a certain other “rich” guy. The fact that amoral idiots get to make media companies their playthings for no other reason than their wealth is an excellent illustration of how capitalism fails most of us.
