Politics is the only profession where being completely unqualified is not just tolerated—it’s practically a requirement. Where else can someone with no grasp of basic economics, science, or geography end up in charge of an entire nation?
Forget experience, knowledge, or coherent thought. All you really need is a good profile, a vague promise to “fix things,” and the ability to confidently avoid answering questions you don’t have a prepared response for in favour of your preferred talking...
Politicians are geniuses—true visionaries—when it comes to taking your money without actually calling it a tax. After all, “tax” is such an ugly word. It makes people angry, and we wouldn’t want that! Instead, they come up with brilliant alternatives that sound much more palatable.
Take fees, for example. Want to renew your driver’s license? That’ll be $90, but don’t worry—it’s not a tax! It’s just a small administrative fee to ensure the Ministry of Transportation continues its stellar...
It requires a lot of persistence and attention to detail to screw things up as badly as these people have—almost as if failure was the intended outcome. You’d think, at some point, sheer probability would allow them to get something right accidentally, but no, they remain laser-focused on setting new records for incompetence.
Every major policy decision seems to be a masterclass in how not to govern. Consider their economic strategy—or rather, their complete lack of one. Inflation is...
Bitcoin: The Future of Money (That Occasionally Trips Over Its Own Shoelaces)
Bitcoin is the revolutionary, decentralized, world-changing asset that was supposed to send us all to the moon, dethrone fiat currency, and let us buy Lambos with ease. And yet, here we are, watching the price chart resemble a heart monitor during a caffeine overdose.
Yes, Bitcoin is still the future. But sometimes, that future looks like it’s being managed by a sleep-deprived intern who forgot to pay the internet...
The Science is Clear: Those Who Can, Do—And Those Who Can’t, Run for Public Office
The world is full of talented individuals. Some people build bridges, others cure diseases, and some even make edible vegan cheese. And then, there are politicians. Unlike doctors, engineers, and scientists, politicians have the unique ability to convince millions of people that they are qualified to do a job without ever proving they can actually do it. It’s the only profession where the less experience you...
The news today is that teachers in Canada have discovered the truth about the pseudo-science known as mathematics. It turns out the rigorous rules we have been employing to build aircraft, automobiles, televisions, and microwaves are actually tools of oppression designed to keep good people down. The shocking truth that Canadian educators have uncovered is that math is racist.
It is difficult for one raised under this tyranny to understand why handing someone the correct change at the grocery...
Previous administrations are amazed.
In the news today, we hear that a record fifty percent of Canadians cannot meet their basic expenses without going into debt. Fortunately, our federal government stands ready to help with a new and innovative tax strategy. Our Canadian government has determined that the Bank of Canada, which can create money without the need to create equivalent value, can help to ease the taxpayer's burden. Simply printing the money it needs allows our government to spend...
80% of the problems society faces are created by 20% of the population, and wouldn't you know it, 80% of that crowd just happens to be on the government payroll. Coincidence? Probably not. It's almost like bureaucracy breeds problems faster than it solves them!"
