Interesting podcast on AI adoption. Stefani says AI is not about automating what we are doing now. It’s about automating what we are not already doing. Not about doing things cheaper and faster, but differently to create better products. Good way to think of it podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/d...

This is the golden age of AI. If you’re not using it you should. It’s useful and heavily subsidized and it has not been monetized with ads yet. It’s like when Uber first arrived and it was way cheaper than a taxi. You will never get better value for money. But soon, enshitification will set in,

I am honoured to announce I’ve been appointed as a member to the Order of Canada. Thank you to everyone for the support! I dedicate this to my late Mom who taught me so much about history, local independent media & research. I know that she would be, like me, screaming with joy! #orderofcanada

I’m always disappointed when politicians say they will cut “waste” to invest more elsewhere. It’s lazy and intellectually dishonest. It implies Departments don’t implement decisions as efficiently as possible. Cutting “waste” usually means cutting services. Are they are to timid to admit that?
To build the Canada we want for ourselves, we have to make responsible choices and bet big on Canadians.

We’re going to cut waste and spend less on government operations — so we can make the big investments that will grow our economy and create new opportunities for Canadians.

According to Anna Wong and Danielle Demartino Booth, US data show that 90-100% of tariffs is passed through to the US. Suppliers are not cutting costs. 70-80% is paid by wholesalers/logistics (squeezing profits) and about 15% is paid by consumers

Good conversation with RBC chief economist, Frances Donald, on the Hurley Burley podcast. She is pretty optimistic about how well Canada has performed so far in the face of global trade disruption

Today I’m visiting Fort Wellington, which played an important role in protecting Canada from the Americans in the war of 1812 and subsequent rebellions in 1830s and Fenian raids of 1866. Its guns are still pointed at America

U.S. trade policy is shifting—tariffs, spheres of influence, fiscal nationalism. What’s the impact on Canada’s economy?

Marko Papic breaks it down on Monetary Matters: why this matters more than past geopolitical noise.

Liberals say, “Vote for us and we will solve your problems.”

Conservatives say, “Vote for us and we will get out of the way of making problems.”

Right now Canadians want gov involved in solving problems. For conservatives to win, they must change their ideology of who they fundamentally are.
