“Muzzled by a Feeling” is a gritty Canadian protest song and free speech song about the moment censorship becomes internal: rereading a sentence before you post it, deleting an opinion because the rules feel unclear, choosing silence because disagreement feels unsafe. youtu.be/F6mS9gGh8iU

🇨🇦 Everyone's blaming Trump. Fair. But the IMF says Canada locks $210 BILLION inside its own borders through provincial red tape. 🔒 U.S. tariffs hit: ~1.5% GDP. Our own barriers: up to 7% GDP. 🚧 We built this prison ourselves. Full breakdown 👇 #cdnpoli #Canada #InternalTrade #TheWeirdCanadian

This needs to be said plainly: DO NOT BUY THE AI IPOs. This is infrastructure buildout dressed up as easy money. Insiders know the costs are massive, so they hand the bag to retail, let it crash, then buy back in for pennies. CDOs. Railroads. Electrical grids. Internet cables. Same playbook.

The Weird Canadian @theweirdcanadian.ca · 28/05/2026

For anyone interest in understanding @ubiworks.bsky.social: UBI Works presents itself as a grassroots movement fighting for economic justice. In reality, it operates as an opaque advocacy group pushing a policy that primarily benefits the technology sector by socializing the costs of automation.
