Chronicling a nation in voluntary decline

I'm only just hearing about it now, but "Kim Jong Undead", is a great premise for a zombie movie.

No. That would be two tier health care. Forbidden.
Am I rich enough to pay for my own full-body MRI scan for peace of mind?

My issues with Smith are mostly spending related, conservative principles issues.

The primary driver of economic capacity is going to cease to be the worker in the next few years as AI and automation eclipse manpower. Canada not only failing to embrace this technological shift, but doubling down on immigration based on an obsolete world view is suicidal.

Look, my wife and I had four kids, and we did our best. But without immigration - and even with, as the Conservative Party argues, lower immigration - Canada would be set on a Japan-style path of decline, or worse.

Canada has had a smaller population than we do today and we managed fine. We have a spending problem, not a population problem, the people who refuse to acknowledge this just don't want the spending to end.

Yeah, how dare they stand up for Canadians.
It is very sad to see the Conservatives go down this path.

This misses the point entirely: Concept cars always seem extreme and never ship as is. Most introduce cosmetic ideas, this, on the other hand, is an engineering marvel. There are advances here that will inevitably become common features on all cars.

Hang onto that balloon Saskatchewan.
Canada's largest helium purification facility has begun operating in southwest Saskatchewan, strengthening the province's position as the nation's largest producer of helium.  The new facility, located near Stewart Valley, will produce approximately 73 million cubic feet of helium per year. saskatchewan.ca/government/n…

Trying to get Microsoft to move their head office here. Not to hire Canadians, mind you, but it'll still make a hell of a press release.

Canada is your psycho ex-girlfirend.
Cleveland-Cliffs must uphold its commitments. We will use the full force of the law and every tool at our disposal to keep this strategic capacity operational. They must keep jobs in Canada or face the prospect of having to sell their Canadian assets.

If productivity is the concern, we're staring down an impending automation revolution. Rather than further strain our housing, infrastructure, and services, Canada would do well to become a leader in enabling economic growth using AI and automation instead of imported labour.
Immigration levels in Canada are set to rise again. @LenaMetlegeDiab signalled a forthcoming boost to new arrivals after population growth hit its lowest rate since WWII, CTV News reports. (1/4) 🧵👇

Best not to even start a business in Canada. We'll crush you if you ever need to divest. Great message to send to prospective investors.

I do hope the quote "Don't be fooled by the idea that you can send a message with your vote." follows Mark Carney into the next election.

She sure kept her mouth shut about it while the gravy train was running.

Can't isn't the problem, it's won't we seem to have an issue with.
United, there is nothing we can't do.   Forever Canada. 🇨🇦

The Major Projects CEO is already jaded. It was a good run, Canada, right up until we handed everyone a veto and now nothing can get built.
