Build modern housing. Build modern infrastructure. Build modern democracy.

More power generation is ok, but efficiency is the game-changer.

Yes it can be done in Canada.

RIP Catherine O'Hara.
The world got exposed to her comic genius from Hollywood films.

But to me as a kid in Canada she was one of the stars of SCTV . Here is a sample of that genius:

This is a great short sumnary of some of the ideas of economist Thorstein Veblen who coined the term ´conspicuous consumption' during the gilded age.

The video also connects those observations from 125 years ago to our current age of social media and visible wealth.

“I don’t want to pay taxes.”

“I don’t want to wear a mask.”

“You can’t make me be a decent human being.”

“You can’t make me care about anyone but myself.”
It’s just incredibly funny this is supposed to be the “freedom” party. It was never about any freedom except their right to be selfish assholes and not feel bad about it.

PM Carney understood first and we need to give ourselves a pat on the back, many of us understood first too.
PM Carney on his call with Trump: “I said this to the president: I meant what I said in Davos. It was clear it was a broader set of issues that Canada was the first country to understand—the change in U.S. trade policy that he had initiated—and we're responding to that.”
