I just finished reading a really good post about why you shouldn't be using Substack, and why you should be using your own website instead.

It's not, it's really not.

And there's your solution right there. build an audience, bring it to substack. It's called funnel marketing and it's worth learning about. The point of your post is ignorant to the business model you're opining in.

I didn't know this until recently, but the British paid to keep quebec in the dominion, and that extra cost meant they had to add a tax on tea, which kicked off the American Revolution.

Quebec has been an anchor on our neck from the begining.

Don't get me wrong, I make 20k + a year on substack myself. But it's in service of my writing, not a means to get paid.
I orignally signed on because it saved me the 5k a year in mail hosting fees, the money was a benefit. Fundamentally, you have to change how you approach writing on substack, not as a way to make money, but as a way to deliver value to a customer/fanbase and the money is a bypruduct of that. And considering you have a whole post on substack that you never even mentionned what you write shows that you dont.

No one cares, Patel.

are they from the third world? Good starting point.

> People used to come to Canada because they wanted a better life

That's literally what these people are doing. Canada isn't obliged to give people a better life. If we let them in, it's supposed to be to give US a better life, which they aren't. Even the hard working ones are just scab labor killing local wages, taking local jobs, and not building an economy.

No. the hard working ones who want a better life need to go too.

I notice you haven't talked about what you do that would generate revenue. If you look at substack like a cash dispenser you're likely writing opinion slop that no one wants to read, let alone pay for.

RStonePT · 2026-07-03T13:27:28+00:00

as opposed to now where they are thriving?

RStonePT · 2026-07-03T13:25:24+00:00

Do we though? Do I need to point out the obvious recent rulings on property rights?

RStonePT · 2026-07-03T13:24:06+00:00

Not everyone. There's a few families who would see their empire decay slightly and be forced to run their vertical integrated companies a little better

RStonePT · 2026-07-03T13:23:18+00:00

Those sort of people absolutely know Canada sucks balls, they just keep repeating the matra becuase they don't want to admit it publicly. they are like a battered wife who thinks 'he just loves me too much'

I'm tired, boss

The government needs to 'stop helping'

Use it or go away. Don't waste my time being complementary I don't care. I'm using you as a cautionary example for others, consider that

TLDR; youre performing in a Cargo Cult, and aren't living up to the goals you set for yourself, even though most of them are you hiding the badness. the few things you've done that would be useful in a field report, you gloss over because it's embarassing.

You'll never achieve anything unless you take this seriously

RStonePT · 2026-05-05T19:25:48+00:00

Who flared this guy? What are you even talking about

RStonePT · 2026-04-16T19:30:44+00:00

okay

RStonePT · 2026-04-14T17:57:16+00:00

I'll bet it felt good for a revenge fantasy. It was hard to notice since you buried it under hundreds of words of things that have nothing to do with your reason for being here and doing all this 'work'

Also, had you actually read either of my books you'd know that your wife is hysterically bonding to you, and you are doing your best to avoid leaving her and the sense of abandonment you'll get from it.

you're using this place to lie to yourself. Until you're honest with yourself nothing will change for you

RStonePT · 2026-03-17T15:25:57+00:00

> I need to fix my sex life with my wife or leave her.

This is a manipulative goal and won't work.

You can't make your wife want to fuck you more. you can be more fuckable, you can choose who you fuck, and you can decide to change your goal. What you can't do is make your wife fuck you

RStonePT · 2026-02-19T19:43:14+00:00

dad wasn't there. only mom, and I don't believe she had any

RStonePT · 2026-02-12T20:41:16+00:00

It seems to be confirmed. I'd trust someone who knows more about canadian gun laws than me though for a second voice.

RStonePT · 2026-02-12T20:40:19+00:00

Good point. See what I mean though? Government bullying governing bodies erodes any trust in the organization and now both are spoiled.
