While I agree, this is a problem that requires international cooperation to solve. I can’t speak for the U.S. but a significant portion of scam calls in Canada originate overseas.
When countries can’t even agree or coordinate on simple common sense things, I’m not holding my breath for this.

It strikes me as a “deep pockets” strategy rather than actually focusing on the party to blame.
But I agree it totally dilutes and distracts from the real issue, namely there are way too many high-power and high-capacity guns in the U.S.

If held long-term (e.g. assets or cash aren’t removed from the RRSP until retirement), the RRSP will result in less tax overall. Or put differently, a higher after-tax value of the portfolio.

I’d like to hear an explanation for why Trump appears to be more popular (relatively speaking) for public sector union workers vs. non-public-sector workers. That makes no sense to me.

An RRSP isn’t an investment you sell, it’s a type of plan/account that investments (or certain other assets) can be held inside. Income (including capital gains) earned inside the plan are not taxed.
However, when you take cash or assets out of the plan (e.g. at retirement) they will be taxed.

Great comment.
In theory, that ‘program’ should be learning history. It’s like a time machine to demonstrate cause and effect on a societal level.
But too many people just don’t engage with history in that way. It’s all about what’s immediately in front of them, not what’s around the corner.

I agree with the sentiment, but you only pay tax if assets are taken out of an RRSP (or RRIF/etc.). You pay zero tax on any income or gains inside the RRSP.

It is not.
Ground meat in a patty shape in a bun is a burger.
Ground meat in a tubular casing in a bun is a sausage/hotdog.
Non-ground meat between two or more slices of bread is a sandwich.
This is the way.

Basically what is said at the end of the video. Calling out these anti-democratic strategies and tactics for what they really are. Not random, unrelated symptoms of a society in decline, but deliberate and carefully considered tactics to actually hasten the decline of that society.

People are being fooled into thinking authoritarianism is better than democracy and that up is really down.
Please watch and share this important video. “Democracy”, by Margaret Atwood, published by the Financial Times.

The Tucker-Putin interview is funny because, just like nobody who doesn't pay attention to the Fox-News-extended-universe is just totally baffled by "Disney is transing kids" when DeSantis talks, basically the whole interview is insane if you don't pay close attention to domestic Russian propaganda

New users, you have to follow WAY more people here for an active timeline than you did on Twitter.
If this place feels dead, you’re almost certainly not following enough other users.
There’s no centralized algorithm that just puts stuff in front of you - although you can subscribe to feeds.

There was also a similar sign-off video that I believed they played on CTV at the end of the broadcast day.

In Canada the CBC had a whole sign-off video they played at the end of the day. As recently as 18 years ago; they only switched to 24 hours a day in 2006.

That’s Kremlin propaganda that has been repeatedly discredited.
Given Putin’s repeated comments over the past 10 years and the ICC charges, there is plenty of evidence that Russias end goal is to eliminate Ukrainians as a distinct and sovereign nation.

It also depends on how you define “civilians”. Tens of thousands of Ukrainian civilians enlisted (or were conscripted) to defend their country from an illegal and genocidal invasion. Many thousands of them have died.

Don’t disagree. However South Africa is also signing business deals with Russia. Who has been (and continues to) commit war crimes in Ukraine for the better part of 2 years. Their moral high ground isn’t as high as it was in previous years.
