A partner at EY India told me yesterday that the total economic activity created by Punjabi music this year will be in excess of INR 10,000 Cr. I found it hard to believe.
He shared that as per one of the reports EY did, the total economic impact of Diljit Dosanjh's 2024 Dil-Luminati India tour was estimated at ₹943 crore, with direct tour revenue at ₹276 crore. This year just Diljit's India + Global economic activity will be in excess of INR 1800 Cr.
That is just one artist. If 20 other artists (Karan Aujla, Jasmin, Sartaj etc) hit even INR 200 Cr per artist, the total for top 20 artists (including Diljit) alone is INR 5000 Cr.
Add to this 50 other names. Then there are 500+ record labels releasing thousands of songs, YouTube revenue, Spotify revenue, film music revenue, royalties from past releases et al. The total economic activity crosses INR 10,000 Cr.
Cut it all and blame the last guys. Pin it, a classic move
.@LDoerkson said today interest payments are "choking the economy" & commits to an independent investigation into BC's finances. Said the $1B accounting error by the @bcndp has him "terrified" at what else they might discover.

How long until the BC Cons pull this line out so that they have an excuse to cut and to sell off assets:
“The numbers were even worse than we thought. We’re going to have to tighten our belts and make difficult choices.”

I believe this will be considered one of the most important videos in US history from this time.

Holy. Doerkson just snapped at a journalist for asking why he's been avoiding journalists.
He's only held 4 media availabilities in the last 14 days and then has the gall to snap at a journalist for trying to ask him a question?
Lorne Doerkson meets with volunteers and candidate Alex McMillan in Eby’s riding of Vancouver-Point Grey. It was supposed to be a photo op but a reporter asked Doerkson how he responds to Eby calling him a “Trojan horse” for extreme candidates. Here’s what he said:

The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…

Went to a coffee shop with my laptop and earbuds and sat next to a lady who took 3 zoom calls and wrote 500 emails
I placed 5 parlays, had 2 cups of iced coffee and asked chat GPT to explain the NBA salary cap to me (I still don’t get it). Back to the drawing board after this one.

Patrick Bet-David’s whole crew are cornballs. One of his comedian co-hosts came by the boxing gym to spar one of my boxers so he could get a clip. My boxer beat the dog shit out of him, made him quit and we sent him on his way. He learned that social media isn’t real life

This is Vivek standing w a pedophile protector and it’s beyond depraved.
BOMBSHELL:
Ohio Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton’s own mother urges voters not to vote for her daughter.
“My name is Donna Arthur and I’m Amy Acton’s mother. I worked at Children and Family Service Association, building one of the first two sexual abuse programs in America.
I love my daughter, but when I saw her lying about her opponent—and it’s not easy for a mother to say this—but Amy has a serious problem.
She is a liar. She lies about her past. She says she grew up living in a tent. None of that is true. She’s lied her entire life.
My daughter needs help, and she can’t help you if she needs help herself. People can change, but first they have to tell the truth, and my daughter still isn’t doing that.
Don’t vote for people who lie. Don’t let her become your governor. If you think she’ll make your life better, you’re fooling yourself. It will only get worse.”
That’s one hell of an October surprise.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Donna Arthur lost custody of her children 48 years ago due to poor living conditions and charges against Donna’s husband of child molestation. Dr. Acton has not seen her estranged mother since then suggesting that Donna is unlikely to have reliable insights about Dr. Acton.
