Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year?

How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

"Canada Post is on track to lose money" Hum. Duh. It cost less than a toonie to send a letter across Canada.

"Canada Post is a service and not a business" was common knowledge until late stage capitalism brain rotted most people into think if it ain't making money for shareholders, it's failing.

Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats.

Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.

officialjackwhite
"Jack White is a washed up, has-been loser posting drivel on social media because he clearly has ample time on his hands due to his stalled career," wrote Cheung. "It's apparent he's been masquerading as a real artist, because he fails to appreciate, and quite frankly disrespects, the splendor and significance of the Oval Office inside of The People's House."--White House Communications Director Steven Cheung

Listen, I'm an artist and not a politician so I'm in no need to give my answer or opinion on
anything if I'm not inspired or compelled, but how funny that it wasn't me calling out trump's
blatant fascist manipulation of government, his gestapo ICE tactics, his racist remarks about
Latinos, Native Americans, etc. his ridiculous "wall" construction, his attacks on the disabled
his attempted coup and mob insurrection and destruction of the sacred halls of congress,
his disparaging sexist and pedophilic remarks about women, his obvious attempts at
distraction about being a close personal friend of Jeffrey Epstein and his inclusion in the
Epstein files, his ignorance of the dying children in Sudan, Gaza, and the Democratic
Republic of the Congo, his lack of empathy for military veterans and those struggling with
poverty, his attempts to dismantle healthcare, his obvious wimpy and pathetic kowtowing
to the dictators Putin and Kim Jong Un, his nazi like rallies, his attempts to sell merchandise
and products like Goya beans through the office of the President, his fake "gunshot to the ear"
that he showed no medical records or photographs of his constant, constant lying to the American people, etc. etc. No, it wasn't me calling out any of that, it was the fucking DECOR OF THE OVAL OFFICE remarks I made that got them to respond with insults.
How petty and pathetic and thin skinned could this administration get? Masquerading as a
real artist? Thank you for giving me my tombstone engraving! Well here's my opinion,
trump is masquerading as a human being.

officialjackwhite
He's masquerading as a christian, as a leader, as a person with actual empathy.
He's been masquerading as a businessman for decades as nothing he's involved in
has prospered except by using other people's money to find loophole after loophole and grift after grift. His staff of professional liar toadies like Steven Cheung
and Karoline Leavitt have been covering up and masking his fascism as patriotism and
"ample time on
at golf than
helping ANYONE in the country. Improve. Anything. There
progress with him, only
smoke and mirrors and tax breaks for the ultra wealthy. So maga folk, enjoy your
concrete paving over of the rose garden, your 200 million dollar ballroom in the White House, and your gaudy ass gold spray painted trinkets from Home Depot, cause he ain't spending any
money agenda. on helping YOU unless you fit into his white supremascist country club rich idiot.
No intelligent person can defend this
low life fascist. This bankrupter of casinos. This failed seller of trump steaks, trump vodka,
trump water, etc. This man and his goon squad have failed upwards for decades and have
fleeced the American people over and over. This professional golf cheat, this grifter who
has hundreds of thousands of deaths from his inaction of the pandemic on his hands,
this man that the majority of the country somehow were fooled into supporting and
voting into office (through the flawed electoral college) and their love of reality
television stars. Being insulted by the actual White House that this particular conman
leads is a badge of honor to me, because anyone who trump supports and likes is a villain
who gives nothing to their fellow man, only takes what can benefit themselves.
And no I'm not a Democrat either, I'm a human being raised in Detroit, I'm an artist who's
owned his own businesses like his own upholstery shop and recording label since he
was 21 years old who has enough street sense to know when a 3 card monte dealer is a
cheap grifter and a thief.

Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state.

That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress:

Sit back and do absolutely nothing.

An Onion front page with the headline: Congress, Now More Than Ever, Our Nation Needs Your Cowardice

Who will stand up for our democracy? This
question, fraught in even the most peaceful
times, has only grown more pressing as our
country approaches its 250th anniversary.
Each passing day brings growing assaults on
essential liberties like freedom of speech and due process.
Meanwhile, our delicately assembled legal system faces
a constant barrage of threats. Even as this issue reaches
publication, the U.S. military has been deployed against
peaceful protesters. We teeter on the brink of collapse into
an authoritarian state. That is why, today, The Onion calls
upon our lawmakers to sit back and do absolutely nothing.
Members of Congress, now more than ever, our nation
desperately needs your cowardice.
Our republic is a birthright, an exceedingly rare treasure
passed down from generation to generation of Americans. It
was gained through hard years of bloody resistance and can
too easily be lost. Our Founding Fathers, in their abundant
wisdom, understood that all it would take was men and
women of little courage sitting in the corridors of power
and taking zero action as this precious inheritance was
stripped away—and that is where we have finally arrived.
Now is not the time for bravery or valor! This is the time
for protecting your own hide and lining your pocket. Now is
not the time for listening to your idiotic constituents drone
on about what’s happening to their precious democracy.
This is the time for getting down on all fours and grov-
eling. Now is not the time to say, “Enough is enough,” and
have the tough conversations about resisting the ongoing
assaults on American liberty. This is the time to let the wave
of apathy and indifference roll over you as you think about
getting a really nice renovation to your house in Kalorama.
But what can I, one coward, do alone? you might ask.
