You know, Mark Carney's career is bizarre. He was the Bank of Canada's governor, and then the 2008 big recession happened. Then, he was the Bank of England's governor, then, Brexit happened. Then, in 2025, he became Prime Minister after Trump became president again (end of the Post World War 2 order).

And now, in Canada, we are in a recession (I am sorry, there is no such thing as "technical recession", it is all political pandering, we are in a RECESSION! End of story).

Plus yesterday, our dear team Canada lost to Morocco in the FIFA Match. Thanks to the Liberals!

So, this is the conclusion, wherever Mark Carney goes, crisis happens (and it seems to get worse from there). It's almost like he is a magnet for crisis.

Hence, his full name should be Mark "Crisis" Carney.

Canada is cooked bruh 😄😄😄

Pierre Poilievre has all kinds of slogan right? "Axe the Tax", "Build the Homes", "Stop the Crime", "Bring home Common Sense", and others.

So, I have made one for Pierre:

"Pierre Needs to Leave"

Simple and to the point.

Seriously, if Conservatives want to have a competitive election with Mark Carney in another election cycle, at this point, it is so evident that they need a fresh face with a fresh perspective. Period!

EDIT: Oh yeah, thanks to the comment section, "Pierre Needs to Disappear" also works! Hahaha 😆 😆 😆

So far, I have watched every major film released this year.

There’s plenty of debate about how good or bad "Michael" really is, but with its box office already closing in on the billion‑dollar mark, it’s a cultural phenomenon!

Still, it would feel almost criminal if Jaafar Jackson doesn’t take home the Oscar in 2027.  

A nomination alone would not be enough, he deserves to win the Oscar for Best Actor!

Michael would be so proud!!

Throughout the 1990s and continuing later, we all know manufacturing jobs throughout the Western World were shipped to countries like China, Mexico etc., and this has led to so many problems in the regions (Rust Belt in the US, North West in the UK) which relied on these jobs for survival. I have always felt that the opioid crisis that is going on in the Western World right now has some type of connection with this large seismic event (as a large number of people were left with no purpose in life, and a percentage of them decided to opt for drugs).

Now, with AI doing the same to the "office" jobs, now they finally get what it's like that your job goes away never to come back, and the problems that comes along with it.

I write this because college-educated people can be some of the most arrogant people who seem to see people who do actual work with hands and physical labor somehow beneath them and refuse to acknowledge the challenges of what working-class manufacturing workers went through in the 90s. I am also afraid a lot of issues manufacturing workers went through in the 90s, now the college educated workers will pass through a similar hard phase.

I think if aliens watched us for a day, one of our weirdest everyday behavior they would definitely find amusing was checking our phones every few minutes, even though no notifications have arrived.

Any other ones?

Seriously, what kinds of behavior have you noticed in people in the workplace, family, and in society in general, and you know it's hypocritical, but calling that out would just create too much fuss to handle?

In the context of the latest news of CUSMA (the renamed NAFTA) not getting renewed (which I knew was not going to happen almost a year ago), I want to express an opinion here.

A lot of people in Canada seem convinced that Mark Carney’s idea of “diversifying” Canada’s trade away from the United States is a good policy. But many of the people I have talked to don’t really understand how trade works. In economics, there’s something called the gravity model: countries trade most with big economies that are physically close. For Canada, that means the U.S. is our natural, unavoidable trading partner. There is no realistic alternative that can replace it. Trying to “diversify away” from the U.S. is not a strategy, it’s just wishful thinking.

Because of this, Canada should take the U.S. concerns seriously. The Americans have raised issues about supply chain in dairy, manufacturing etc. where they want concessions. These aren’t outrageous demands given the US has been a partner for so many decades now. And given the US tariffs are affecting so much of Canadian economy which is impacting youth unemployment and our overall economic growth.

Most importantly, everyday Canadian consumers and workers don’t really lose anything by having more U.S. companies operating here. In fact, more competition often means better prices, better products, and more jobs for Canadians. The pushback seems to come mostly from large Canadian corporations that benefit from the current setup and want to protect their own interests.

Tom Cruise is truly an exception.

If you see, many stars from the 80s are now either not in movies or have already retired but Tom (who became a star after 1983 movie Risky Business) is still considered one of the biggest movie stars out there who can actually pull off a billion-dollar box office movie. This is after 40+ YEARS in the movie business.

In addition, Tom Cruise does not even have too many box office bombs in his career (I can only think of two: Lions for Lambs and The Mummy).

I always wonder...in an industry where there is so much volatility and distractions of all kinds, what makes Tom so robust?

I want to watch the Canada vs Morocco properly however, any pub or restaurant I got to its super packed with people and there is not even a good place to sit properly. All other well-known places are super crowded!

Does anyone know some good spots to watch this match? Any recommendation in the Lower Mainland will be appreciated!

I am new to Reddit, and I am only seeing very negative posts being recommended to me on my feed. Is there any way to change what kind of content shows up on my feed?

I need some suggestions here.
