And Anthropic posted an $80B in the first half of 2026, keep that in mind when you decide whether you want to spend your money on AI subscriptions or your country.

I don't understand some comments. The budget deficit almost halved compared to the same period last year, with revenues totalling $215.5 billion (+ $14.4 billion or 7.1%), and expenses totalling $220.9 billion (+ $8.6 billion or 4.1%).

The most important single expense appears to be the public-debt charges which climbed 16.1%, but I don't see what this has to do with AI or the like.

Peter Polyestre's people are gonna try to make THE BIGGEST hay bale of this.

They have plans to increase their budget, I know some of it is slowly starting but I think only one of them is a good idea.

• Financial services: Build partnerships with financial service providers to offer selective retail banking services.
• Canada Shops: Host an ecommerce platform to connect Canadian consumers with Canadian-owned and operated businesses.
• Multi-channel advertising: Offer advertisers multi-channel advertising opportunities that reach physical and digital audiences.
• New adjacent services: New potential adjacent services within our existing network include government services, support for peer-to-peer marketplaces, and products and services for small businesses. Additional opportunities will be identified, assessed and pursued where appropriate.

I do a lot to avoid advertisments, because capatialism is horrible. I have a no ads sticker in my mailbox, so I only get political things and the occasional addressed to “home owner”/“resident” things. I have a finally tuned pihole, I use adguard and sponserblock for youtube, I have a very complex email setup that block ads, and if I could I would get rid of my mastercard (not that I see ads from it but because they can see where I shop the one tracker I cannot block). Canada Shops would be something I would like to see.

*edit I misread the title of the article and jumped to conclusions, it is not about Canada Post.

Pretty good for the whole country when Ontario and Premiere Fat Fuck have racked up a $17B deficit.

But the bike lanes are gone.

Can save 1-2 billion if you just scrapped Bill C21.

This is what happens when we elect the fiscally responsible party! Which, as always, is...
