He probably didn't specifically choose that fund. He most likely had someone who managed his portfolio. My guy added oil and gas and pipelines and pharma. When I reviewed my holdings I asked him to divest of those things. I still hold pharma but it's all small research companies, not the huge global players. Most of my stocks are technology.

Too bad they can't scrub all the screenshots that people took.

According to MAGA? No, they're antisemitic terrorist supporters.

I didn't take it personally. I'm very comfortable with my investments. I was just calling out the fact that someone who had worked their whole life at an economist and central banker is going to have money and is going to have investments just like every single conservative MP, premier, senator, and MPP does.

You want to see the difference between real government and fake one? Let's talk about the floods in China and the floods in Texas. in c/videos@lemmy.world

The local government refused $10 million in federal money for flood control and warning because, "Biden bad!" When they eventually accepted the money they gave most of it to the sheriff, the same sheriff who took more than 90 minutes to send out the first flood warning after being asked and four hours to respond effectively by which time it was too late.

Hundreds of ore died because political dogma was more important than actually leading.

My investments are managed by someone. I made him exclude oil and gas, defence, and others. It's mostly technology.

Anyone who uses, "woke" unironically in this context is a fucking idiot. It's great that they so readily self-identify.

Pressure mounting on Poilievre to fire Jenni Byrne: sources (www.cbc.ca)
 

This is nonsense. The Conservatives need to stick with Jenni Byrne and triple down on the angry jingoism and Trump style grievance politics that Canadians love so much. More attacks and DEI and the woke week definitely fake the difference. If only they could Conservative harder they could definitely win more of us over.

Canada is broken!

Woke woke woke! DEI DEI DEI!

I will fix everything but can't tell you how!

I am not Justin Trudeau!

Conrad Black: And just like that, the Trump 'threat' disappears (nationalpost.com)
 

The real threat was the combination of Trump and a simpering sycophant Trump wannabe as prime minister.

The threat is reduced with Carney.

Poilievre to release platform Tuesday with details on new spending and cuts (www.cbc.ca)
 

Tax cuts for the rich and benefits cuts for the poor to pay for it. $100 billion of additional national debt over four years of planned deficits.

That definitely sounds like a Conservative agenda.

'I don't blame you': U.S. tourism hot spots mourn Canadian travel cancellations (www.cbc.ca)
 

"I know why, and it's because my president is threatening to annex your country."

It's far more than that. The Trump administration is lawless, ignoring and defying the courts, and trampling on the constitution. My son's school just cancelled a long planned trip to New York City because of the very real risk that one of more of the children in the trip might be held, handcuffed, and thrown in ICE detention for days or weeks. Under the current authoritarian regime it is unsafe for anyone to travel to the US.

Oh, we're going to do this again? We're going to try to pass the same unconditional laws that Stephen Harper tried to pass then spent years and tens of millions of dollars defending all the way to the Supreme Court only to lose because everyone, including Harper, knew from the very beginning that they were unconstitutional?

Just fucking great. Can we not? Can you just roll your neo-fascist lack-of-virtue signalling into a cylinder and shove it up your fucking at instead?

"I'm not Justin Trudeau!" - Pierre Polievre

"Neither am I" - Mark Carney

The 25% of Canadians that are thinking challenged won't win you an election when there's is a functioning adult running.

"I'm just like Trump" won't either.

They changed the headline on this article. It originally read, "Polievre launches campaign with a pitch to heal, 'a divided country'" which made me laugh because he's spent so much time whipping up the white grievance that carried Trump to power in the US and trying desperately to ride the same wave of populist bullshit with the same message as Trump. When he's railing about the, "woke" and "political correctness" that suggests that we can expect an all out assault of LGBTQ+ rights, brown people, books, and anything else they don't like.
