“trying to live on $1000 a day gross income”
Canada 🇨🇦, my buddy who works 7 days a week is trying to live on $1000 a day gross income. After taxes he takes home less than half the that amount. Plus all hidden taxes like fuel ⛽️. Property taxes on his home, raising a family with 3 kids. Vehicles, insurance, home costs. Life costs, food. He says its extremely hard nowadays to maintain to living standard his family had prior to 2015. Its totally obvious that liberal gov't policies have destroyed the upper middle class families in Canada 🇨🇦. No matter how hard you work in Canada to provide for your family. The liberal gov't policies have pushing people into lower standard standards of living. Major policies in our country have to change. If you ever make it off the rat wheel of life, the gov't takes more and more from your family. Making harder and harder to survive. I can't even imagine how difficult it is for families with lower incomes. Moreover wealth redistribution is not the answer. No wonder most people want to stay below gov't maximum income tax bracket to benefit from tax breaks being in the lower bracket. This is not how to build a nation WTF is happening in Canada 🇨🇦 citizens.

It is kind of weird, when you take a step back, that the panelists seem to find it hilarious that you should want consent before you publicly display someone’s corpse.
Can we display an ancient Egyptian mummy without its consent? The Cross Question panel discuss the curious case at the Kelvingrove Museum in Glasgow.

I actually think Netflix is suffering right now for the opposite reason. From the newsletter yesterday:
People are losing the attention span to even watch 30 minute TV shows as short form video eats the world.

ME 5 should to be referred to the Major Projects Office.
A purported BioWare developer has leaked a trailer for the cancelled ME 5 on Reddit. The footage, reportedly titled "MASS EFFECT UNIVERSE," appears to suggest the project was further along in development. Its authenticity remains unverified. #MassEffect

This may be the most significant data breach in Canadian history. Not in terms of the numbers, but in terms of the nature of the records compromised. "More than 1.5 million Canadian Crime Stoppers tips leaked" cbc.ca/news/investigates/can…

All aboard! Part 2 of The Hill Times' Registered Fundraiser Omnibus has arrived: In this installment, I've focused the analysis to Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s surge to top-performing fundraiser since late 2022, and Prime Minister Mark Carney's team of top-performing ministers and ridings helping him reinvigorate the party’s war chest since the last election. hilltimes.com/2026/10/21/poi…

The fundraisers, hosted primarily by the Liberals and Conservatives, represent an estimated $61.7-million in ticket sales and prior donations from 48,006 listed attendees over the past eight years. hilltimes.com/2026/10/14/the…

If you're wondering who is behind those Jagmeet Singh duffel bag ads on here, know that it's part of a multi-billion dollar scam empire being run out of Eastern European call centers. It's an absolutely massive problem and Canada is a priority target. cbc.ca/news/ukraine-call-cen…
