I just heard that Manitoba is going to be selling off the back stock of US liquor until Christmas, giving proceeds to the Cheer Boards in Winnipeg, Brandon, and Thompson - essentially dealing with the dormant product we’d already paid for in a way that benefits us locally. Genius idea.

That certain provincial premiers invoke the notwithstanding clause of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms as a tool to ram through legislation that would otherwise be unconstitutional speaks volumes about their contempt for democracy. That the news media normalizes this is unacceptable.

Marginal utility is the key economic concept that I wish more people understood.
If you give, say, someone with $1tn of net assets £1000 it will have less positive impact on him than if you give someone like me with let’s say £30,000 of net assets

If you’re in the United States, watch this. If you’re in Canada, definitely watch this. Actually just watch this, wherever you are. And then share it. #Canada

I find it hilarious that so many people say they’re tired today because the baseball game went 18 innings last night.
Since when was staying awake a prerequisite for watching a baseball game?

Last year, I worked with a graduate student from Turkey studying supply chain management. Just after the election, she came into my office, eyes red with fury, and flat out asked me "with everything you've seen around the world, how could you let this happen?" This is burned into me
