When a system is built to serve profit and monetize every part of life... this is the kind of “democracy” you end up with.

2/2

But all the wealth goes to a handful of owners.
The air is poison. Services are awful. People suffer.

Would you call that success?

Because some economies are just cleaner-looking versions of that.

2/2

I think to make a safer, more resilient Canada, we start before the crisis.

What are your thoughts? Good idea? Bad idea?

4/4

And for those who want to go further---maybe a Community Emergency Team: local volunteers, trained to back up emergency services when disasters hit hard.

So who pays? Mix of provincial and feds.
Liability? Covered under emergency legislation.

3/4

- Helping vulnerable neighbours during emergencies.
- How to manage during extended power outages (especially during the winter)

With all the instability in the world, maybe it’s time we made emergency preparedness part of everyday life.

2/4

And we all want a better today—and a better future.
What makes Canada great is that we celebrate our differences.
We lift each other up.
Not push each other down.

The future I want is safe, prosperous, and clean.
And I think that’s what we all want.

Happy Canada Day.

8/8

We’re not perfect.
Our history isn’t as clean as we once believed.
We have our differences and our divisions.
We have work to do.
We can improve life here.
Because this is home.

7/8

It’s places.
It’s people.
It’s shared experiences.

But it’s also trust.
Trust in our elections.
In our institutions.
In our healthcare.
In the system—not because it’s perfect, but because we believe it can be better.

6/8

It’s waving to neighbours, even if you don’t know their name.
It’s the Big Apple on the 401. Lake Louise. Canada’s Wonderland. The CN Tower. The Sea to Sky. Old Montreal. Halifax Harbour. Quebec City.
It’s cheering for the Jays and the Raptors.

5/8

It’s six buddies cheering for six different hockey teams—but all sharing the same love for the game.
It’s cramming six months of life into eight weeks of summer.
It’s early morning practices. Late-night ice times.
It’s sitting in the Timmy’s drive-thru, half-asleep.

4/8

It’s driving for hours down tree-lined roads, eyes peeled for deer or moose.
It’s the buzz of cicadas in the summer heat.
It’s making it through a blizzard to get to a family dinner.
It’s beer around a firepit with good friends.
It’s the waves rocking a dock.

3/8

But to me, Canada isn’t about what separates us from the U.S.
It’s not about comparisons.
It’s about moments. It’s about a feeling.

2/8

And when we stop learning, we get stuck in our own echo chambers.
That’s how we lose ourselves to division — when we stop trying to understand one another’s perspective.
Curiosity, empathy, and knowledge are gifts.
They should be cherished.
Not dismissed.

2/2

Yeah basically:

81.3 years
X
43,090
=
$3.5m

And this wouldn't be a cap, just a high earners income tax bracket.

Yes, I expect:
“Communism!”
“But what about CEOs/athletes?”
“You’re punishing success!”

But maybe—just maybe—we’ve lost the plot on what reasonable earnings look like.

Again—hot take, not a policy pitch. Just a thought.

2/2

Apologies if the framing here came off wrong, that wasn’t my intention. I wasn’t trying to disparage Zelensky or how he handled the ambush. The point was more about Trump seeking a confrontation. If Carney had come in guns blazing, it would’ve played right into Trump’s hands.
