Yes I also prefer speed bumps, they actually work because people don't want to damage their car.

The part about criminalizing symbols is what I find most difficult. On one hand, certain symbols absolutely represent hateful ideologies, and people don’t want to see those normalized. On the other hand, banning symbols can be a slippery slope. Context matters a lot, are they being used to...

It’s a good point. On paper, creating 80,000 jobs sounds like a win, but when overall employment is still down, it really highlights that small businesses may not be recovering or growing as intended. Government jobs can provide stability, but they don’t necessarily stimulate broader economic...

I liked this clip of Pierre's response, his new approach to being level headed and calm draws in a lot more respect from me because it makes him easier to trust.

Agreed, and that is why discussions like the one in the zoom meeting are important. It gives people a chance to hear different interpretations and ask questions. A lot of confusion around these topics comes from people only seeing one side of the argument.

I think it depends on the individual. Some people use comfort as a foundation to pursue difficult goals like fitness, business, or creative work. Others use it as an escape. The environment hasn’t removed challenge completely, it just made it optional.
