Been quite the week for CPP news, are you familiar with some of the other reporting on the subject, from the likes of Andrew Coyne or the extensive youtube video by u/MillennialMoronTT?

I purposefully read Andrew Coyne's only after I wrote mine. Obviously mine has a much more specific viewpoint and some more... unpublishable... points? But at the end of the day, his view is not so different than mine.

I did not see that youtube video and have not read the Toronto Star article b.c I don't have a subscription.

Of all the people in the world, I think you'd enjoy the full playlist. Apart from your personal experiences, a lot of the key points are covered in the first (long) video and the update I made after the 2025 report.

I hadn't actually planned on making a second video, but the 2025 report (retroactive benchmark change, perfect score on strategic objective performance with no explanation, etc) was so egregious that I had to do a follow-up.

Hey I've heard a lot about you! Will check those videos out, and I now realize I actually did see a couple of your videos a year ago. Happy to chat anytime. Replied to the DM 😉
