Matt Johnson & Jay McCarrol’s hilarious, ingenious, mind-boggling NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE nearly killed me in best way possible. Maybe the greatest Toronto film ever made — and it’ll make heads roll once it actually screens in the city. #SXSW theglobeandmail.com/arts/film/revi…
"To become great, you need to surround yourself with people who are resistant to you – and you need to win them over": How NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE's Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol became the border-busting kings of a new CanCon era #SXSW theglobeandmail.com/arts/film/arti…

"There is no tradition in actual economic theory of believing that you should just do free trade no matter what and you should lower your trade barriers and that will be to your economic benefit." -Oren Cass on CBC And yet, Adam Smith wrote this 250 years ago.

Hey, so, just a quick question on the Canada tariffs.
I feel obligated to point out that the idea of the US screwing over its closest ally and largest source of entirely secure crude imports to refill the SPR on the cheap is immensely silly. (and that's even if the caverns can effectively store WCS, which I've been told they can't)

It appears that it’s being suspended from February 1 to April 1 until the next Provincial budget. Stronger uptake may have run through the funding allotments early.

WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you HAVE TO WATCH this news story. Politician claims without evidence that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data. Great, @CityNewsTO. toronto.citynews.ca/video/2024/10/…
This is aggressively stupid. It will accomplish nothing but to get people killed.

Among other objections: how the hell is this any business of the province? If people in Toronto don’t want bike lanes all they have to do is vote for city councillors who are against them.

Boosting Old Age Security payments would increase government assistance to those doing relatively well, while others bear the cost. It would be a costly mistake. My latest for @TheHubCanada: thehub.ca/2024/10/03/tre… #cdnecon #cdnpoli
This is an informative thread. The politics of OAS is odd, though, since the boost the government gave to the program two years ago is subject to all of these critiques as well. All parties have or are currently supporting regressive intergenerational transfers.

It looks like the Fed corrected the auto assembly data. It increased from 10.81 mil (SAAR) in May to 11.33 mil in Jun as opposed to the incorrectly published figure of 13.09 mil. Again, h/t @erikandrewj federalreserve.gov/releases/g17/c…

We need more politicians who can say to others and especially to themselves: "My turn is over, now it's someone else's turn." Sadly, the sort of people incapable of such insight and who believe instead they're God's Gift To The People are over-represented among politicans.
Absolutely ridiculous. The UK changed governments in a day. One day.
