“Why should MY taxes pay for people who didn’t earn it?” Okay. Then let’s talk about who we’re calling “undeserving”—and why public money helping a struggling family gets called a handout, while public money supporting businesses somehow becomes economic development. In...
“Stop buying Starbucks!” “Quit ordering takeout!” “Just budget better and save for a house!” Oh, Carl. Pull up a chair. 😂 Being poor is expensive as hell. And if you’ve never experienced it, you might be surprised just how much more it...

Canada is preparing to spend — and attract — enormous amounts of money building ports, railways, energy infrastructure, critical-mineral projects, transportation networks and other major projects. But there’s a question we don’t ask nearly enough: If Canadians help pay for...
Canada exported hydrocarbons to 112 countries in 2025. Sounds pretty diversified. Except 90.8% of the volume still went to the United States. 😂 That’s not because nobody else wants Canadian energy. It’s partly because decades of infrastructure were built around serving...
Canada says it wants to depend less on the United States. And apparently, it’s already happening. 🇨🇦 In 2024, almost 76% of Canada’s merchandise exports went to the U.S. One year later, that had fallen below 72%, while exports to...
