    LGR is a classic. He’s a great, honest guy and runs a good channel with good content. Financed by views and memberships/Patrons; I don’t think he does any sponsorship deals at all.

    He’s an old-school kind of Youtuber that sticks to what he does and doesn’t overreach or grow too fast like so many channels do.




  • Totally unsurprising. Calgary is a car-centric urban sprawl of the worst sort. Entire urban districts are completely cut off and surrounded by either large stroads or actual highways. There are some houses near my grandparents place that literally live on a highway exit ramp. My sister came with us once while we were visiting and I took her for a drive around the city - she was in awe at how poorly planned the city is, and we are both from Vancouver which is a circus even on the best days.

    $1mil isn’t even going to make a dent in this. Not even make a scratch. It won’t even pay for 1/8th of the initial investigation to determine where to best place the scratch. Calgary has sunk billions into horrible urban planning decisions and they continue to do so every day. That entire city is one giant web of stroads.






  • He isn’t. He can’t be; not the way he has handled them.

    Bringing industry and manufacturing back to US soil is actually not a bad idea at all but it’s a problem that needs to be tackled smartly and over a period of time so businesses can react. He is trying to force decades worth of economic migration in the span of a few months. For (hopefully) obvious reasons, that is impossible and the US economy is about to collapse.

    And considering Trump, along with Musk at DOGE, have systematically destroyed economic and social safety-net programs… the aftermath of this is going to be catastrophic. The only way Trump is “right” about these tariffs is that they are an intentional sabotage of the US economy so him and his wealthy backers can cash out as the walls come crashing down. That is the goal and it’s going according to plan.
