Wealthsimple built their brand on making investing simple and accessible for everyday Canadians. This isn’t that.
Trading stocks from a tweet is a feature designed for impulse, not investing. The whole point of a good platform is to slow you down - not speed you up.
Nobody made a sound financial decision because a stock ticker was one tap away on X.
Patrick Brown is running personal political ads on X and Instagram promoting himself as mayor - and billing the cost to Brampton taxpayers.
The ads are marked “Paid for by Patrick Brown,” but his own expense reports show he’s been claiming social media advertising costs back from the city. So taxpayers are effectively funding a personal political brand campaign disguised as a public safety message.
This isn’t how city communications work. Official messaging goes through the city’s account, not the mayor’s personal profile. Running self-promotional ads under your own name while charging residents for it is a clear ethical problem and a misuse of public funds.
