I agree with Kameron that the idea of citizens organizing hearings is interesting, but I think it’s also important to approach something like the National Citizens Inquiry critically. Since it isn’t an official government inquiry, it doesn’t have the same legal powers, standards for evidence, or...

The deeper issue is that platforms act as arbiters of truth. They’re private companies, yet they influence global discourse. If an idea is flawed, counter it publicly. Don’t erase it. Suppression breeds distrust.

I get the argument for supporting allies, but I feel like Canada could’ve exercised more independent judgment here. Our citizens in the Middle East could be affected if the conflict escalates, and our diplomatic credibility might take a hit if people see us blindly following U.S. policy...

That’s a really important point. Maybe instead of asking whether tax cuts are “the best” way to stimulate growth, we should be asking: growth for whom, and measured how? It seems like the discussion isn’t about whether tax cuts can stimulate growth but whether they’re the most reliable or...

This is exactly why I asked the question. It feels like tax cuts are often treated as a universal solution but the outcomes seem mixed. For instance, during the 2017 reforms in the United States, corporate profits rose significantly, yet wage growth didn’t accelerate in a dramatic or sustained...

Right. I think there’s a difference between “valuing citizenship” and “making it harder.” Some people claim they want citizenship to feel meaningful, but tougher exams or stricter bars especially on language proficiency could disproportionately affect older immigrants or those with limited...

Honestly, I think most countries already have pretty strict standards for citizenship, including language and residency requirements that make sense. In Canada people must usually show they can speak English or French at a certain level and know about the country’s history and institutions...

Exactly. Simplification is probably the key word. I’d support strong consumer and worker protections, but with clearer guidelines and fewer bureaucratic hoops for smaller operators. If we want entrepreneurship and local economies to thrive, we should at least ask whether our regulatory framework...

That’s fair. I’m not advocating for removing protections. I’m more concerned about complexity. For example, navigating tax codes or employment standards can be overwhelming for someone running a small shop with five employees. Large corporations just absorb that into their overhead. It creates a...

When I ask whether small businesses are overregulated, I’m not saying regulations are bad. Obviously we need health codes, safety rules, and labor protections. But at some point, compliance costs start hitting smaller operations way harder than corporations with legal teams. A local restaurant...

If platforms de‑emphasized metrics like “time on site” and prioritized meaningful conversation, it might reduce harmful spirals.

Not entirely. They help movements and local communities organize. It’s just that the design pushes outrage because that keeps attention.

Social platforms connect us, but they also amplify anger, what should have been personal disagreements become public feuds instantly.

Absolutely they should, teachers shape future generations, yet their compensation rarely reflects that. It’s ironic that we invest so heavily in education systems but underpay the people who actually deliver it. Boosting salaries could attract and retain more talent, which benefits everyone in...

Honestly, I’ve noticed that healthcare and tech seem to be booming like nothing else. Partly it’s demographics, aging populations need more care and it’s automation creating demand for tech-savvy roles. Makes you wonder if traditional industries will keep up or just shrink over time

One of the biggest problems with small businesses is that they simply cannot afford the permits and licenses the way that large cooperation can. Licenses. Permits. Labor rules. Tax filings. Health standards. Reporting requirements. Environmental checks. It stacks up. Large corporations often...

Every election cycle, we hear the same pitch: cut taxes, and growth will follow. The logic seems straightforward , people keep more of their money, businesses invest more, hiring increases, and the economy expands. But is it that simple? Tax cuts can stimulate short-term spending, especially...

We're mainly talking about online returns but that also makes sense in a way. By allowing people to return anything no matter the date then they are going to cause the issue where they can just return something and then buy the same thing but new with no repercussions instead of keeping the...

This is an interesting issue because it does come down to fairness, at the end of the day post secondary education is a choice. Now on average the people who do go into post secondary make more money and end up having gjobs with better job security. That said they do go into debt and post...

Open to any more DM's that want to work with me on this or want to partner as I am really trying to push this topic

As businesses increasingly adopt artificial intelligence (AI) and automation, we’re entering a new era where efficiency and innovation are often weighed against ethical responsibility. AI can streamline processes, cut costs, and improve decision-making, but these benefits come with complex moral...

Let’s be honest, emergency powers are supposed to be temporary. That’s the point. They’re there for the “oh no” moments. Pandemics. Terror attacks. Natural disasters. But here’s the uncomfortable part: when does “temporary” quietly become normal? In Canada, the federal government invoked the...

They definitely don't have it like Canada has it. We are taxed in many different ways on the same product, there is a carbon tax on manufacturing the vehicle to transport it, the fuel to fuel it, the product itself is taxed, the materials to make it are taxed. We just have so much tax on...

Looking at this a bit more, the people who did survive were on one of the submarine type vessels they have. I watched a video on this and the submarines ones are the most stealthy and as such they carry the most product and the most important people. So unfortunately the survivors were probably...

The debate over the minimum wage has reached a fever pitch in 2026. As inflation continues to fluctuate and the Raise the Wage Act of 2025 moves through legislative discussions, the question remains: is a higher floor the answer, or a distraction from deeper economic issues? The Minimum Wage...

Care to provide any citations or proof of what the root cause of this issue was, and where the liberal government caused this. Because although the liberals have been in power in Canada for a while now the economic state of the world has vastly shifted in that time period and inflation has...

Lately, I’ve been thinking about what it really means for a business to be ethical. It’s easy to talk about fair wages, sourcing locally, supporting the community, or choosing sustainable options when things are going well. But ethics get tested when the pressure is on, rising costs, shrinking...

I notice the same thing in Canada, we give out a lot of money to help fund small businesses in other countries, and while we do have support systems for small businesses in our country we could be doing a lot more with the money to help fund our own people. I think it is a countries primary goal...

Last month, my business partnered with a nearby bakery to include their products in our customer customer appreciation day. Not only did it help our sales, but it boosted the bakeries customer base and helped get the word about their products. This got me thinking, Are there any creative ways...

Good luck outsourcing all of those products to anywhere besides Canada :ROFLMAO:

I totally agree, the fact that we have progressed so much as a society but can bypass the idea of killing each other is so backwards to me.

It's a good idea in theory, but the issue is like you said only businesses with large established customer bases could use this idea. And on top of that my whole thing is to support local and ethical businesses, and Amazon is neither local nor ethical. Check out my broadcast for more...

Free returns are one of the biggest draws of online shopping. Click “Buy Now,” try it at home, and if it doesn’t work, send it back, no cost, no stress. But while free returns are convenient, they come with hidden environmental costs. The Upside of Free Returns: Consumer convenience: Buyers...

Transparency has become a major selling point for businesses in today’s market. From small startups to multinational corporations, consumers are increasingly demanding to know where their products come from, who makes them, and under what conditions. But when it comes to fully disclosing supply...

As a local Albertan I hope this never happens.

Lately, it feels like every company is “sustainable,” “ethical,” “green,” or “community-driven.” You can’t walk into a store or scroll online without seeing buzzwords like eco-friendly, responsibly sourced, carbon neutral, or socially conscious. On the surface, that seems like progress and it...

In recent times I have noticed that a lot of people (including myself) associate ethical, local businesses with high prices.There’s a common belief that companies have to choose between making money and doing good. But looking at recent trends, that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. Many...

Ontario's Choice for Ethical Business Practices In a rapidly evolving business landscape, ethical practices aren’t just a nice-to-have, they’re essential. The Ontario Ethical Business Network (OEBN) is a platform that highlights and supports Ontario-based companies committed to integrity...

Why Block the Bridge? In a recent truth social post Trump talked about how he wants to block the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, and he wants to do this because of the tensions between the USA and Canada regarding trade agreements. But from the sounds of this it seems like it...

Canada’s Election System has a Problem and it is up to the US as the People to Fix it. Canada’s federal elections are administered by Elections Canada, which is an independent agency that was created by the parliament and reports to the parliament circumventing the party that is in power at the...

It would have been funny if they started a controversy by giving it to a kicker. The half time show already had enough backlash it wouldn't really matter if they got more from the kicker getting MVP, would've just been funny.

This short form content also makes it easier to create false narratives which in turn are easy to manipulate. We've seen with the rise of AI we cannot believe everything we see, but it is a lot easier for AI to create short videos and headlines rather than complex stories and thoughts. This...
