Graph of Canada's population vs worker productivity from FT.

Unsurprisingly, if you rapidly expand your population by importing millions of third worlders, per-worker productivity will go down.

The fact is we're not all equal. Canada's population is significantly smarter than the world average. Importing the rest of the world en-mass will inevitably degrade that advantage.

Making IQ tests a requirement for immigration would be a good start.

“This is, actually, a place of honor.”

Missile strike on the Tuapse oil refinery in Russia.

“When you see that “cloud” seeming to “settle” fast, realize it isn’t a cloud and it isn’t settling.

Absolutely REVOLUTIONARY night for my NOSTR future

I love the Vibe here and make a point to post and scroll the Primal Trending 24hr feed every day.

I would LOVE to spend more time here, but I've never been a fan of the 'Latest' algorithm.

Until there's more choice in algorithm, it's hard to see me consistently spending my 'scrolling time' here.

Bitcoin X is getting more retarded by the day

The most important thing I ever bought with #Bitcoin was my and my wife's time.

I don't have any debt. I own a small family home, a truck, and furnishings. I pay the bills out of my savings.
