We’ve relied on U.S. paid plasma for over three decades

Our first real boost in self-sufficiency was thanks to commercial plasma

We will not be the first country in the world to be self-sufficient without paying donors

We’ll just be hypocrites again

Only the richest Canadians are able to afford homes—it’s time to free the market: DeepDive It takes decades of saving to afford a home in Canada's largest cities

We have recommendations to help with this that do not include strategies that have failed like scapegoating immigrants and creating yet another bureaucracy to act as a developer. Take a look at our methodology, results, and recommendations at the link below! thehub.ca/2026/01/14/o...

For example, we found that it would take an individual in Vancouver 538 months, or almost 45 years, to save up for a down payment on a home.

I'm super proud of this very thorough Deep Dive that we worked very hard on for @thehubcanada.bsky.social on housing. The CCC worked tirelessly to crunch the numbers in a way that Canadians can better understand the hurdles they truly face, and what we found was truly depressing.

@ricksteves.bsky.social is one of the coolest dudes on TV, anti fascist and pro legalization while being the best travel guy around. We’re watching him again while we plan our honeymoon trip!

CLEMENT/EL-CHIDIAC: Be wary of the CRA autofiling for taxes "Two complaints are most common among Canadians during tax time: taxes are too high, and filing taxes is too complicated."

Imagine the CRA asking you trust it with auto-filing your taxes as a low-income person after watching it fine people $70,000 fits own autofill mistakes, getting majorly hacked several times, and knowing this system has failed in the UK. www.westernstandard.news/opinion/clem...

The most important thing you will read today and probably for a while. I’m so proud of my friends @janetbufton.ca and @tomgpalmer.bsky.social for working so incredibly hard and being so through with this.

Great, the 43 lbs of fentanyl that the US seized from the Canadian border of the 21,889 lbs total seized won't stand a chance

The time to tear down internal trade barriers is now Provinces could choose to enact freer trade, which would unite us as a country during this time of deep economic uncertainty.

Christine Van Geyn of the Canadian Constitution Foundation and I are in The Hamilton Spectator talking about how important it is for provinces to immediately get serious about breaking down provincial trade barriers the more they realize that the USA is not a reliable trade partner.

This is the most inspiring thing happening in Canada right now. I used to be able to see this land from my office. Hard to imagine the transformation.

@janetbufton.ca and I once wrote a little something on this fantastic woman. Check it out: oll.libertyfund.org/publications...

Very much agree

And obviously, do yourself a favour and follow them on Bluesky for a much more informed and intelligent feed.

Please give @jkuznicki.bsky.social’ excellent essay a read here cosmosandtaxis.org/wp-content/u... it’s really excellent

@andycraig.bsky.social’s commentary has allowed me to better understand the threat against democracy in America. And @jkuznicki.bsky.social’s book Technology and the End of Authority and his article Gender as Essence and as Economic Choice were very important to me.

I will add that anyone who has done this should be disqualified from ever talking about free speech or whatever else they are peddling as a means to “own the libs”. Full stop.

What has happened to my friends @jkuznicki.bsky.social and @andycraig.bsky.social is unacceptable. These two people are some of the most intelligent out there, we need their voices. A campaign to try and invoke fear in those who speak their mind is truly a sign of moral failure and reprehensibility

Had such a great time speaking with @heardtell.bsky.social about Trump and tariffs yesterday!

It is laughable that QC's latest bill is meant to show women are equal when they dont let women have the same rights by banning religious symbols, namely the headscarf, from those who work in government service. If men can wear whatever they choose, women should be able to as well. That's equality.

Day 1 tariffs are bad for everyone — including President Trump President Trump should not pursue rash Day 1 tariffs after his inauguration is over. The market shock will be severe.

Read more from me and Elizabeth Hicks on tariffs and retaliation here: thehill.com/opinion/fina...

Diplomacy now on the supposed issues that Canada has and making a deal with Trump is how Canada avoids an economic depression. We can't be Team Canada when our people suffer due to policymakers' actions.

That means coming together to oppose the use of tariffs at all, either by the USA or Canada, because retaliatory tariffs boomerang right back around and hurt Canadians' pocketbooks. Caring about this country means caring about what happens to its citizens, especially the most vulnerable.
