  • Video about YouTubers peddling stocks.

    As you guys can see this summary list below this video is pretty dense with information, so I would highly recommend watching if you’re interested in this topic.

    • The amounts the creators are paid is very generous for ad campaigns. 10’s of thousands at time 100’s of thousand and even million plus dollars.
    • Many of the channel are right wing alt media creators.
    • Sources for data come from Securities law that requires disclosure for this type of work.
    • Ad campaigns is ran indirectly though additional third party marketing company
    • Majority of companies involved is resource plays
    • A lot of them nano cap(16M median market cap). So have about the same market cap as a single McD locations.
    • Canada once again punches well above it’s weight with half the companies being based in Canada.
    • 30/56 is located Vancouver and a lot of them is in the same address with the same directors and managers
    • 34/56 didn’t report sales in the past 12 months
    • 30/56 had multi million dollar deficits.
    • For many of these companies a large portions(~30%) of their expenses is marketing their stock
    • Campaigns seems to be pretty effective at raising capital for these companies
    • While some investors make a profit. 81% would have a average loss of -52.4%

  • I don’t think the Liberal are willing to sacrifice their entire future as the one of the two alternating parties in order to gain a few more seats.

    338 on a federal level projects them for 67 seats and 24% ± 3% on the popular vote. That translates to 85-91 seats which is a decent gain.

    However this would mean the Liberal will likely never get anything close to majority again. I would also believe they would slowly dwindle in popularity with a rise of smaller parties. That’s a lot give up for 24 more seats for 4 years.


  • It’s plausible that Trudeau could want to push through voting reform as one last move to salvage something since him losing the next election likely spells the end of his political career.

    The problem is the Liberals as a whole. It pretty predictable Conservatives are going to do a horrible job and by the 2029ish election the tables will be flipped and Liberal will only need to campaign on not being a disaster of a party like the incumbents.
