This Halloween candy shrinkflation is outta control

The elder abuse scandal that cost CPP $500 million of our pension money - but you probably haven't heard of it, because it was barely reported in the news. Jason Ward from CICTAR joins me to discuss what went wrong. #canada #canadapensionplan #elderabuse #canadafinance

New podcast episode is out, on a scandal that cost us $500 million in CPP fund money, after the collapse of a for-profit long-term care provider in Europe. youtu.be/PNWZ6cqjylQ

My latest video/podcast, on the subject of Brookfield and their involvement in the privatization of public utilities in Latin America. Featuring Livi Gerbase from the Centre for International Corporate Tax Accountability and Research (CICTAR). youtu.be/M-WyecBecwM

Really insightful @millennialmoron.bsky.social episode on the sketchy profit shifting that Brookfield gets up to in Latin America. youtu.be/M-WyecBecwM?...

Home prices in Canada seem to be returning to historical norms, as we can see in this chart of the composite benchmark home price in equivalent metric tons of ground beef:

This is one of Canada's big problems that's interwoven with low productivity and standards of living: Financialization, i.e. the increasing proportion of profits made through purely financial channels. Nearly half of all profit in Canada is now made just by moving money around.

After this success with Cracker Barrel, we need to push for an anti-woke rebrand of McDonald's: - Change name to "Alabaster McDonald's Hamburger Plantation" - Ronald McDonald now always depicted with a cigarette, gun, and visible erection - Deport Hamburglar

Congratulations to CPP Investments and their active management team for achieving a 1% return in a quarter when global equities were only up 10%!

Number of judicial recounts in Canadian Federal elections, by year:

Here's my latest video on all the party housing platforms for this election, along with a bunch of discussion about different causes and potential solutions for our housing issues. Yes, I even talk about immigration in this one. youtu.be/SAvG1F3ImoY

If one Canadian math nerd yammering at you about politics, economics, and housing wasn't enough for you - good news! I got The Plain Bagel on the channel to talk about the election. Enjoy! youtu.be/lw7QQxRWGbs

Here's my impression of Jagmeet Singh at the debate last night: ☝️🤓🖐️

I keep hearing I'm supposed to buy this right now, seems like a good deal to me

Poilievre has dropped the slogans on the podium in favour of a maple leaf - which is very appropriate, because just like the Maple Leafs, the conservatives were looking really good heading into the playoffs and I'm pretty sure this is going to be their year.

@millennialmoron.bsky.social is doing the lords work, thank you so much for your diligent and nuanced reporting. A must watch for every Canadian with a job, especially before the election m.youtube.com/watch?v=mcNI...

This is a complete misrepresentation of what Mark Carney said, and takes his words out of context. "Shadowtax" is the name of his horse.

This article doesn't have anything to do with the plummeting sales data that was just released, does it?

This marathon from @millennialmoron.bsky.social is one of the best pieces of investigative journalism I have seen about a Canadian institution in years. Seriously everyone who's ever paid into the CPP should watch it right to the end. #cndpoli #canada #LPC #CPC

@millennialmoron.bsky.social‬ is a must follow on here, even if you're not a Millennial. The level of research and work that went into this video is apparent. Thank you MM for such a detailed breakdown of CPP and it's current issues.

My eyes glaze over at anything finance, but I watched this whole thing? youtu.be/mcNIrBlciPc?...

For the past ~9 months I've been working on a video about the CPPIB and their active investment management strategy for the CPP, what it costs us, and how it's performed. Anyway, the video is super long but it's finally done. youtu.be/mcNIrBlciPc

Everyone responding to this Canadian products list is saying Tim Hortons is Brazilian, not Canadian. In reality the franchises are still owned by Canadians, only the parent company is Brazilian. Think about it - if Tim Hortons is Brazilian now, why does the coffee still suck?

After the inauguration yesterday, Elon Musk shocked the world by attempting to recover his image as a hard-core gamer.

What did I tell you lol. We've been sacrificing the entire economy on the altar of home prices:

Everyone staring at their phones has been a huge boon to the developers of our simulation. “Now I don’t have to render EVERY leaf perfectly,” they sigh in relief. Your leg passes through the coffee table but you’re too busy watching a video of a cat sneezing to notice

Prorogies youtu.be/9HNukQoSW1Q

Looks like prorogies are back on the menu, boys

Trudeau can't even show up on time for a press conference he called at his own house 🙄 who does he think he is, me?

Merry Christmas from the whole team here at Millennial Moron!

For you LEFTISTS who are confused by this, WARRIOR culture is about being a MAN. As SWIFT as a COURSING RIVER. With all the FORCE of a GREAT TYPHOON. With all the strength of a RAGING FIRE. Mysterious as the dark side of the MOON.

If you're trying to figure out why the dollar dropped suddenly today, it's not the deficit, it's that Canadian households have been butt-chugging debt for 15 years and we can't possibly keep our central bank rate in line with the US Fed at this point.

The motion to proceed with the orders of the day just failed in parliament lol

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland leaves to go to the store, says she will return shortly with milk, cigarettes, and the Fall Economic Statement

Something doesn't add up with this Luigi Mangione thing. In the photos, he's clearly wearing a blue backpack with black straps, but I'm pretty sure the guy in the video is wearing a gold backpack with white straps.
