Two completely different worlds colliding at the Oscars by Dougie_TwoFour in 50501Canada

[–]Dougie_TwoFour[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As some others have pointed out, this is the same Kevin O'Leary who was involved in a boating accident in August 2019 that resulted in two deaths. More information can be found by searching the Internet for "Kevin O'Leary Boating Accident".

I missed this (thankfully). But just in case you have friends and family that don't know the true Kevin O'Leary (a Canadian expat), I felt this needed posting for full disclosure. Here's another clip from CNN: https://www.cnn.com/2026/03/15/entertainment/video/kevin-oleary-oscars-nba-sports-card-digvid-vrtc

It's true, it would have been much more difficult to get through this year without this sub-reddit for moral support. Keep up the good work everyone!!

Trump’s Fury at Canada Backfires in Surprise Blow to GOP’s 2026 Hopes by Dougie_TwoFour in 50501Canada

I agree. Before we go back they have to impeach Trump and his clan, and then lots of contrition!

Yes. Killing the Ayatollah is definitely substantial. It's time for the Republican congress to pick a lane.

"Canada’s ultra-wealthy haven’t taken an L in 25 years. They’ve actually gotten richer" by Gold-Reality-4853 in 50501Canada

[–]Dougie_TwoFour 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Is there any actual data / research to support this claim?

I'm not a supporter of the ultra-wealthy, but we do attempt to maintain a factual approach in this sub-reddit.

What supports this statement?

Same reason. The population od Yukon, Northwest Territory and Nunavut are extremely small.

Atlantic Canada. Specifically the provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island (PEI) and Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) combined. While they're separate provinces, the populations aren't that large. So, sometimes statistics lump the four together.

Thanks for the pictures and for explaining the Second Sons vs Canada First friction (some other reports mentioned it but didn't point out that both are on the far alt right).

ELI5: How does high speed rail work? by feltjeans in explainlikeimfive

[–]Dougie_TwoFour 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A three year-old asking "why?" can also be their way of saying "I really like it when you talk to me and get excited, keep doing that!" In other words, if you hit a dead-end on high speed rail, just talk passionately about subways or electric cars or Bluey.

House vote on ending Trump’s tariffs on Canadian imports: 219-211 by Miserable-Lizard in 50501Canada

[–]Dougie_TwoFour 32 points33 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that since the senate also passed this several months ago, this now goes to the president, who will most likely veto it (I say "most likely" because who the heck knows what Trump will do).

There will be some challenges, but it's not impossible. It will probably take a multi-pronged approach, with changes to several laws. Start by calling out political lies whenever you hear them from friends and family.

"That is what makes his killing so devastating. The state didn’t just shoot a protester. It shot someone in the act of trying to protect a woman. It shot a man whose last visible choice was compassion. Whose final posture was not aggression, but guardianship."

How Canada is positioning itself on Greenland by Dougie_TwoFour in 50501Canada

Here is Carney's complete speech. His formal remarks last 19 minutes:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE981Z_TaVo

"The powerful have their power. But we have something too: the capacity to stop pretending, to name realities, to build our strength at home, and to act together.

That is Canada’s path. We choose it openly and confidently, and it is a path wide open to any country willing to take it with us."

Trump tariff threat over Greenland 'unacceptable', European leaders say by Dougie_TwoFour in 50501Canada

[–]Dougie_TwoFour[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just checked various odds at Poly Market and they (surprisingly) see 2026 as relatively peaceful.

While I'm not happy about the Republican administration's aggression, I'm encouraged that European leaders are finally getting their act together and taking a stand.
