The wealth of the richest 0.1 percent of Americans has more than doubled since 2019. If that doesn't convince you we need a wealth tax, renowned economist Gabriel Zucman will. Watch.

The oil industry is unwilling to pay for this pipeline because even they know the world is moving away from fossil fuels. This project leaves Canadians bearing all the risks of a bad investment without any of the rewards.

“If you are staring at an example of social disorder or social inefficiency, and the left refuses to explain either why it has happened or how they will fix it, then the right gets to point at someone in the immediate area and say, ‘That’s who did it.’” crazy how much Mamdani speaks my language

AOC says she'll change the station now when Ed Sheeran comes on. Sheeran buckled to pressure and dropped Macklemore after he expressed support for Palestine at the first two concerts of the tour. All of Sheeran's opening acts and his back up band have quit in support of Macklemore.

PSA: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

Conservative corporatist party David Eby’s #bcndp loves American billionaires so much that he allows them to buy millions of acres of BC farmland to use as luxury hunting resources for the rich. Vs food security for BC and jobs for BC agriculture Ban all foreigners from owning BC farmland #bcpoli
which Canadian province has been foreigners from buying farmland    +14                    

AI answers 

Several Canadian provinces ban or strictly limit foreigners from buying farmland, with regulations varying by province:

Saskatchewan: Only Canadian citizens, permanent residents, or wholly Canadian-owned entities can own farmland.

Alberta: Non-residents and foreign-controlled corporations can only own a maximum of 20 acres.

Manitoba: Non-residents are restricted to owning an aggregate of 40 acres, unless they actively farm the land.

Quebec: Buyers must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents. Non-residents require authorization from the Commission de protection du territoire agricole (CPTAQ) to purchase farmland.

Prince Edward Island (PEI): The Lands Protection Act strictly limits non-residents to owning no more than 5 acres of land or 165 feet of shore frontage without special cabinet approval.

Ontario: The province limits foreign acquisition of farmland through the Protecting Ontario's Food Independence Act to protect local food supplies.

Provinces  like British Columbia, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick generally do not restrict non-residents from purchasing farmland, though local policies are periodically debated
