Gotta agree with Lindsay here. The piece equates pension savings to any other consumer choice. That ignores the insurance aspect of pensions, which is central to understanding the issue if you're an actual economist.
What literal horseshit is this and what editor let this get published financialpost.com/opinion/shut...
Matthew Lau: Shut down the tax-financed Canada Pension Plan
Contribution rates (i.e., payroll taxes) have only gone up while the CPP's bloated investment arm repeatedly misses its benchmarks. Read on.

The UCP separatists held a meeting in Red Deer yesterday where the attendees talked about how seceding from Canada would allow Alberta to solve homelessness and develop underdeveloped areas of industry like...oil and gas and agriculture.
These are not informed, intelligent people.

This is gonna sound harsh but you gotta stop talking to these hicks out in bumfuck towns. I know these people. They know less than nothing, it all comes from newsmax and facebook. They live in a fantasy world and everything they have is because of the cities they hate. They aren’t real Americans.
NYTimes has truly outdone itself with this latest in its "ask white guys in diner" genre. Thank goodness we get a perspective on what's happening in Minneapolis from people in **Nisswa** who probably mean Brainerd when they say they "prefer not to go the city anymore" www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/u...

It really is a government of moral cowardice.
Canada denies participation in the Danish military exercise in Greenland: "As of this moment, the Canadian Armed Forces are not initiating any new operations in Greenland," said Maya Ouferhat, press secretary in the office of Canada's minister of national defense.
Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, Canada and France will participate alongside Denmark to expanded military exercises in Greenland.

I’m sure the fact that they generally attacked me in sexist, homophobic and xenophobic terms was entirely coincidental and in no way illustrated my exact point. Because irony is dead.

My recent interview with @ctheriault.bsky.social led to a little spate of angry letters in my Senate inbox this morning - mostly people lambasting me for suggesting the Alberta separatist movement was rooted in misogyny, homo/trans phobia and racism.

The reports of violence, arbitrary arrests and intimidation tactics by the American regime against its own people are profoundly concerning. This Canadian strongly condemns the killing of protestors, and urges the UnSA to allow for freedom of expression & peaceful assembly without fear of reprisal.

In 2024, I rose in Senate QP to ask why the Govt of Canada was still using X for official communications. Today, they are still there. What exactly will it take to break the spell?
A proliferation of sexual deepfakes on X has prompted other countries to investigate Grok, the platform’s AI software, but, so far, Ottawa remains silent.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

Elon Musk's xAI artificial intelligence chatbot Grok said on Friday lapses in safeguards had resulted in "images depicting minors in minimal clothing" on social media platform X and that improvements were being made to prevent this.
