MUST READโฌ‡๏ธ article by Max Fawcett ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ on how China is kicking the shit out of Albertaโ€™s O&G industry with its cheap EVโ€™s & cheaper revolutionary batteries.
As a former oil exec says โ€œweโ€™re talked about climate change for 40 years & weโ€™ve done very, very little about itโ€

Finance nerds: this Globe piece says someone's earning $130,000ish in annual dividend income on an $885,000 portfolio, and it's invested in covered call ETFs.

There's no way that's close to correct, right? theglobeandmail.com/investing/inveโ€ฆ

What's as offensive as the profit-taking is what they are trying to pass off as a worthwhile food donation.

Those who can't afford to eat or buy food deserve better than this.

Give money to your local food bank instead.

I'm interested to know what the standard is for removing a KC. Why does Jonathan Denis get to retain his? Who decides and what are the parameters?

How much disinflationary juice could we get out of a modest tax increase on the rich? (A couple extra percent on, say, families making over $150K in annual income). Seems like that might help.

I beg these folks to actually read the source documents they're quoting.

TL;DR: the BoC's assets declined because bonds they were holding to maturity....matured.

This is the UCP's entire MO: deprive public systems of funding and resources, place them under additional stress, and then propose more widespread privatization when they inevitably buckle under the pressure being applied to them.

Imagine kicking someone out of your political party, publicly attacking them, telling them to 'f-ck off' when they approach you to make amends... then seeking the public's sympathy when that person has no interest in working with you for your own political survival.

The Alberta government is not proposing to replace the CPP with an index fund. It is proposing to replace it with its own, more politicized version of the CPP.
