“[I]t’s generally a good idea to pay more attention to what Trump and his team do, not what they say, largely because what they say has little bearing on reality.”
Whatever happened to Trump’s plan for 10% credit card rates?

For Trump, rapid-fire policy gimmicks come and go at breakneck speeds
The more desperate the president becomes, the more he starts throwing out ideas he thinks people might like as if he were a casino dealer tossing cards.

Canada is now the first non-European country to be granted a membership in SAFE. This is a gamechanger program that means Canada can rearm our Canadian Armed Forces members more effectively and scale up our defence industries with more contracts overseas.

This is also how Doug Ford operates in #Ontario.
I usually refer to people like this as a bull in a china shop.
For Doug, it's more accurate to refer to him as a bulldozer in a green belt. 🤨

“I don't see any plan, any strategy, any end game,” says Pat Parenteau, a professor of environmental law at the University of Vermont. “I don't see anything from this administration, just fuck everything up as much as you can. You can print that.”
Sounds accurate to me.

Angus: It’s like having to negotiate with Al Capone in his syphilitic period. You want to shut down the bridge? Go ahead. Every day, 1,500 nurses from Canada go to help keep Detroit’s health care system going. I personally think those nurses should be working in Canada.

Gun Owners of America is lobbying Congress to pass the SAVE Act, which would require a majority of Americans to show a passport to register to vote.
But GOA opposes any law that requires showing a drivers license to buy a gun.
These are not serious people.

Retired payroll person here. I suspect this has more to do with how GM paid this out rather than anything CRA is doing.
It sounds like GM paid out all severance in 2025. This plus workers' salaries could have easily doubled their earnings for 2025 & was taxed as such.

This voicemail prompts a number of questions, but one of the top ones for me is how does the Premier of Ontario not have anything better to do with his time than call people up at night and leave passive aggressive voicemails?
Here's Doug Ford's surprising voicemail message to a public servant who expressed concerns about the Ontario government's return to the office policy:
