We are responsible for their making so much money. We should stop that. So they would fight the ridiculous lawsuit in court like the non-obscenely rich.

An Swedish autism study which included familial data had some serious conclusions. A relevant one may have been that we are seeing more individuals with autism because we recognize it now & have it diagnosed. Recognition of it medically? Less than 90 years.

He is a positively negative wonderment of no decent policy. But it is slightly funny to listen to him talk about economics, a subject where his talking points are all Harper. Whose ideas also didn't work, but Poilievre doesn't understand why, either.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned $21 billion to people who were cheated by big banks and credit card companies.
So why are Trump and Musk gutting an agency that's returning money to people who were scammed?
For them, this has never been about cutting costs.

Canada should ban Starlink. We can talk about banning Twitter next.
Doug Ford needs to cancel Ontario’s contract with Starlink now. Absolutely solidarity with Ukraine but also to avoid it being used as a bargaining chip by Musk and Trump against Canada. Right now, Premier Ford.
“The United States has threatened to cut off Ukraine's access to Starlink satellite internet terminals if Kyiv does not reach a deal with the U.S. regarding critical mineral resources, Reuters reported on Feb. 21, citing three sources familiar with the negotiations.”
