What happens when you remove Donald Trump’s voice from a Donald Trump speech? Chaos. Comedy. Confusion. Shane and Ryan test this viral trend live on the air, stripping the delivery from a recent Trump rant and reading it word-for-word—no impressions, just raw text.

The result? A surreal journey through bathroom water restrictions, soggy dishwashers, and filet-o-fish complaints with all the grammatical acrobatics left exposed. Whether you find it funny, baffling, or bizarrely poetic, this moment delivers pure political theatre without the actor. Plus, bonus banter on Diet Coke devotion, McDonald’s metaphors, and the ghost of a fired speechwriter.

Trump’s Speech Without Trump: A Wild Read-Aloud Experiment

Alberta's voter registry data for 2.9 million people has reportedly been accessed by a separatist organization, and the RCMP has opened an investigation. Rob Breakenridge says it shows what groups are willing to do as a potential separation vote approaches.

The data was used to build a targeting app aimed at specific voters and demographics. Rob Breakenridge also flags anonymous YouTube accounts generating AI content around separatist talking points, with funding sources that remain unclear.

On the national side, Rob Breakenridge says Canada's $11 billion deficit reduction came from oil revenues, credited by a government that has long resisted embracing the sector, and that the sovereign wealth fund being launched with borrowed money raises its own set of questions about what it is actually meant to solve.

Shiftheads - Rob Breakenridge on the Alberta Voter Database, the Fiscal Update, and Who Is Watching

Terry Fox was 21 years old when he wrote the letter that started the Marathon of Hope. Fred Fox says cancer had already changed his brother completely by then.

Before his diagnosis at 18, Fred Fox says he would not have described Terry the way the letter reads. Chemo and watching others go through it shifted something. Everything Terry did after was about other people. When their mom called the idea of running across the country crazy, Terry told her simply that people across Canada get cancer too. She never pushed back again.

The Terry Fox Foundation is now past a billion dollars raised. Fred Fox has taken the message to Mumbai, Belgium, Ireland, Wales, and small Manitoba farming towns that Terry never reached. He says nothing surprises him anymore about where the marathon has gone.

ICYMI - Fred Fox on the Letter, the Run, and What Terry Said to Their Mom

Borrowing to invest sounds smart until the market drops and the bank wants its money back immediately.

Financial planner Anita Bruinsma draws a hard line on margin investing: borrow against your portfolio to buy more investments, and a sudden market decline triggers a margin call that can force you to sell stocks that are already down. She says it is a strategy she does not even bring up with clients.

The same principle applies to account sprawl. Anita Bruinsma says too many accounts in too many places creates analysis paralysis, kills your big-picture view of your money, and quietly costs you in fees and missed returns. Her position is blunt: complexity does not add value, and simple investing is how 98% of people actually build wealth.
