If anyone were really worried about privacy, all internet related companies would be in bankruptcy. Apple? Meta? Google? SnapChat? Reddit? You name it, their whole purpose is collecting the personal data of their users.

He is a very good example why celebrities shouldn't be worshipped. Yes they are often very good, world class, at some thing. But only that one thing. They may be shit at everything else, including being a decent human being. Enjoy what talent they share - a great goal scorer is a great goal scorer - but don't ascribe more to them than that. They can't topple off a pedestal if you don't put them up there to begin with.

Someone launched fireworks a week ago in our neighbourhood. Why? A birthday? Who knows. It wasn't any holiday nor a weekend. How exactly does one plan for that? And it wasn't a single bear bang, it went on for 10-15mins. Nor was it that unusual. People seem to have fireworks displays at random throughout the year - any month, any day of the week. Some are even too early for it to be dark enough out to see them well so they are just a bunch of noise. I don't mind the scripted displays on Halloween night, NYE, and July 1st but we don't need all the amateur in between ones.

We should be thanking Trump. He's so undisciplined, uncouth, uneducated that he talks like an 8th grade dropout mafia wannabe. However, that is much more representative of average America than the usual Presidents. He says all the quiet parts out loud. The US has been the biggest bully in the world since the end of WWII and uses every allied nation to prop up and enrich their own. For the past decades they have been masking it through a veil of diplomacy. But not Trump. He tells it as it is. Problem for the USA is that he thinks that is good and that America is a great nation that all others worship. Maybe under his government, the rest of the world will be freed from the US.

Keep track of all the Bros and Cos that have supported Trump and boycott them until Trump is completely gone. Only consider supporting them again if... well never.

Poor Elon. Rich people really do not understand. Even if they came from poverty backgrounds, they lose perspective. They think they did it all by themselves to get where they are and do not understand that chance and luck play a big part in determining which 'hard workers with an idea' get ahead. The working world is littered with smarter people who just didn't get the breaks to become super rich. Once they are rich enough to waste $25M on a judge's election they really do not understand that for the majority of Americans losing their job can mean a quick succession to homelessness from which they may never recover.

Except, for example many Canadians, who are really fed up with being the kick ball for American Presidents (Trump has a lot of company when it comes to tariffs), who will do their best to not buy anything from the USA. I predict our trade deficit will go in the opposite direction that Trump hopes. The USA still needs to buy electricity, gas/oil, wood, and various other raw products from Canada. We don't have to buy finished goods from the USA since there are plenty of other countries to supply them. We really don't need to vacation there.

This would seem more accurate to me if it said "Grandparents at 25". I'm the 25yo parent's age and for us, people were already considering whether they could afford 1 or 2 children with mortgage and childcare costs. I guess if we had the big screen TVs, cellphones stronger than computers, gaming computers, and cheap airfare around the world, many of us would have also decided parenting was much too expensive.

Construction - building homes - may be something needed in Canada over the next few years if someone isn't a doctor or nurse.

Wonderful news. Keep it up even when tariffs are removed. We MUST grow Canadian made for Canadians to purchase.

I think the dealership fires and vandalism are insider jobs. The dealers have unsellable merchandise. An insurance payout is about the best they could hope for.

If anything says "I don't give a shit about the constitution or laws" this is it. Unless he can use it against someone else, Trump has no time for legality of anything. He doesn't abide by it if it interferes with his wants.

I wonder if Americans will wake up and start to push back when they and their families start dying for this stuff. Taking over other countries means death and not just to those who are being taken over.

Does Russia have enough male population left to fight a big war? They've killed off a good chunk of them in Ukraine already.

It means that everything PP is currently sharing is made up misinformation because he has cut himself off from having real information. He is firmly in favour of that because he can say anything, real or imagined, that he thinks will appeal to his potential voters. Truth is something they might not agree with so it's better for him not to be held to that. Inuendo is so much easier to spin than fact.

Please people, if you are going to look at stock prices, look back a year, two, or more. Reddit was slightly up from its 5 year point when in October 2024, like many other stocks, it wildly went up. It isn't yet back down to the pre-October level. Someone (Musk and fellow billionaires?) have been playing these markets since the last US election to game money out of everyone else. There was no value in the business to justify the jump, just a pump and dump scheme to graft money out of the lower classes/pension portfolios.

I like the people that say it is decline due to the exchange rate. While a favourable exchange rate is nice, a negative one has never impacted travel to this extent. Canadians we can do better - we can get this up to 90% or more of a drop! Go Canada Go.

If it's biology based, women have 3 and men 2, but straight line would make more sense. But that is only a guess and who knows what the symbols are actually based on.

Especially bad when the whole "reason" for that impeachment was about investment fraud or something and only became about sex with intern after they couldn't prove anything else.

Was. He was a great marketeer. And then he crashed his brain and is ruining everything he built.
