Trump, in the middle of his latest unhinged Truth Social screed, claims that if Canada makes a trade deal with China, "the first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup."

Just so we're all totally clear here. Everyone has to pay more because this government scrapped projects for electrification, ignored advice from the sector on transitioning off gas, and wants to build a terminal that is unlikely to be usable for $1 billion plus - money they said we didn't have.

Quick update of debt cost data. If more reckonomists followed data like this (vs vibes), we would have had fewer 'recovery is round the next corner' crap through 2025. Let's have a look.
Here's interest added to mortgages per month. Time from OCR hitting 5.5% & debt cost peaking = 18 months 🤨[🧵 1/n]

I guess if the book is AI authored
Then it can be edited and approved for publication by AI
Then AI can probably read it over and over again so it becomes a bestseller
AI can run the awards process so it can win some prizes
AI can just take over. Why not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

THE RAIL ENABLED HYUNDAI FERRIES FOR I REX WERE MEANT TO ARRIVE BY NOW.
Instead we have no rail enabled ferries, the two we have are clunky as fuck, and there will be no replacement ferries until 2029 at the earliest.

Make Peter Thiel into the villain, Democrats.
It's all there.
He is the node that connects Trump, Vance, Palantir, Musk, Epstein, and so many other terrible players.
Just expose it and make him and Musk the face of these psychopathic billionaires ruining our lives.

So the COC has completely defunded health & Brown is sending a stern letter to Health NZ to meet waiting list targets because it's unacceptable. Could the media please ask him if they are going to fund health properly and let hospitals hire? Nope just going to let him blame hospitals instead. OMG

We need to ban political party advertising of all forms - tv, press, mail, letterbox drops, outdoor, social media - ban it all.
There should be a website like powerswitch where policies are loaded and can be compared
Plus any candidate profiles etc.
World would be a better place…
