I'm noticing Westerners are continously having lower standards every year and seem to not even notice the declining quality standards of everything around them I do notice it and when I tell them (IRL or on here) they make me sound jaded or disconnected from reality as if we expect too much They're literally boiling the frog and most don't notice it Then we fly out to Switzerland, UAE or East and parts of South East Asia and we realize there's nothing to complain about so it's not us, it's the West

Crazy numbers.

canadian founders don't raise a seed round, we apologize our way into a pre-seed

In Canada if you work really hard. Grind everyday to provide a better life for yourself. The government will take half. If you don't work quite as hard the government will take slightly less. And if you don't work at all the government will give you the hard workers money.

“The WIFI password is on the back of the router” The back of the router:

More Americans believe we’ll colonize the moon before we fix K-12 education. This is a policy problem. We have been building a solution that’s already trusted by many of the Fortune 500 as well as 1/3 of federal and state elected officials in the United States. Organizations are more impacted by policy than by financial markets. Yet financial markets have been real-time for decades, and policy markets are still nearly impossible to follow. @StateAffairsUS has raised over $70M from @rabois, @khoslaventures, @foundersfund and others to fix that. We are creating the world’s first real-time knowledge graph for policy and regulatory markets. This platform is foundationally built on non-partisan journalism and the collection of on-the-ground data that isn’t digitally accessible. In the future, we believe every executive will watch policy markets the way they watch financial markets. Instead of reacting to regulation, they’ll navigate it proactively. Policy should iterate at the speed of our most innovative industries.

The new Dyson CameraJet Toothbrush

I left Canada when most of the population voted in liberals multiple times. When I got yelled at for getting in an elevator without a mask. When I wasn’t allowed to go buy groceries without a vaccine card. When my neighbors called the police on us for inviting family over. After I got harassed by a homeless man on the subway with my 2 year old and nobody stepped in. After areas in downtown Toronto (where I lived) were taken over by tents and addicts. After I was told there was a 2 year waiting list for an ankle replacement when I couldn’t walk. After I had to find a surgeon out of country. After I’d spent days waiting in emergency for subpar “health care”. It’s not just the government. It’s the people in Canada too. And no, not all of them, but in Toronto? In Quebec? A lot of them. And it’s getting worse not better. I miss Canada. I miss old Canada. I miss old Toronto pre-2016. But it wasn’t just the government that wrecked it. It was the entitled, naive people living there that brought it on. I feel terrible for Canadians (especially Albertans) that can’t pick up and leave but I’m sure as hell not going back until it doesn’t feel like a 3rd world country full of people who hate people like me.

🇨🇦 Canada spent years renaming streets, squares, universities, buildings and removing statues in the name of “reconciliation” and “reconsidering history.” Yonge-Dundas Square → Sankofa Square. Ryerson University → Toronto Metropolitan University. Amherst Street → Rue Atateken. Cornwallis Street → Nora Bernard Street. Langevin Block → Office of the Prime Minister and Privy Council. Sir John A. Macdonald statues removed in Victoria, Regina, Kingston and Charlottetown. Schools, parks and public buildings renamed across the country. Then Trump renames Lake Ontario and suddenly Canada discovers: “YOU CAN’T JUST ERASE HISTORY!” Oh, NOW names matter? 😂🇨🇦 Apparently Canadian history is endlessly negotiable… until an American picks up the Sharpie. 🇺🇸
