Friday Funnies: It's a Slippery Slope
All the world's a stage, and Enshittification continues to progress
Enshittification is a pattern where online services and products experience a decline in quality over time. It is observed as platforms transition through several stages: initially offering high-quality services to attract users, then shifting to favor business customers to increase profitability, and finally focusing on maximizing profits for shareholders at the expense of both users and business customers. This process results in a significant deterioration of the user experience. A variety of platforms have been described as examples of this, including Airbnb, Amazon, Facebook, Google Search, Twitter, Netflix, Bandcamp, YouTube, Reddit, Uber, and Unity.
The neologism "enshittification" was coined by writer Cory Doctorow in November 2022 to describe this phenomenon. The American Dialect Society recognized the term's relevance and impact by selecting it as its 2023 Word of the Year. Doctorow has also referred to this concept as platform decay, emphasizing the inevitable decline in service quality due to these profit-driven changes.

FROM: Jennifer Elizabeth Telfer
I. The Banker in the PMO
You have famously stated on camera, "I'm a banker, not a career politician." That much is evident. Your leadership has treated Canada not as a sovereign nation of citizens, but as a balance sheet to be "optimized" for global investors. You are a technician for a vision that seeks to dismantle national independence in favor of the "variable geometry" of global power you promoted at Davos 2026.
II. The Death of the Trades & The "Build Canada" Scam
As someone who has worked in the trades for over 15 years, I see the "holes" in your Build Communities Strong Fund. You talk about "supercharging" homebuilding, but your policies are crushing the people who actually do the work:
The Productivity Trap: You demand 500,000 homes a year while your "hidden" fuel taxes and inflation make it impossible for ...
Someone finally put the truth in print in a Red Deer obituary. She was 71.
" Six years ago. Val’s health began to be compromised. She battled every day to reverse the vaccine injury after long battle in excruciating pain."
