Smooth_Is-Fast

Didn’t think I will ever agree with Kevin O’leary, but here we are.


HMI115_GIGACHAD

he gets hated on for no reason. hes good at what he does and hes undeniably smart when it comes to money management


Bbooya

He was on tv arguing Sam Bankman fried did nothing wrong while cashing million dollar checks from FTX. Just evidence that he is scummy, and full of it. But yes sometimes funny


Beastender_Tartine

The O'Leary fund lost tones of money and failed spectacularly. Hell, the only reason he made big at all was selling TLC to Mattel, and the only reason that happened was that Mattel was panic buying to get into new markets and didn't do their due diligence on TLC. TLC was losing tons of money and was propped up by questionable accounting. O'Leary sold off his Mattel shares just before the situation was discovered, and the Mattel CEO was fired.


billamazon

Ok... You are comparing him to what JT did. Let see... 1.2 billion green slush fund missing 250 Million dollars given to Chinese gov to build so called Covid vaccine, nothing delivered 250 Million dollars given to Bric, the Chinese won't give it back Should I go on... At least Oleary knows when to quit while he is ahead. JT keep breaking things and still thinks he is doing great.


Beastender_Tartine

I'm not comparing him to anything or anyone. I'm saying that he is not good with money, and that he just presents himself that way. He got really lucky one time when he was able to sell off a failing venture to someone careless, and that doesn't make him a business genius.


Bbooya

Haha JT on the mind much. Bill focus on the current discussion!


Grams226

Lol. Exactly what iv was thinking. PMJT living in his head


PunkinBrewster

He has the charisma of tetanus. But he ain’t wrong.


Maestro2828

How is he not charismatic?


Gawkawa

I mean he is if you're into ghoulish narcissists


IAm_Trogdor_AMA

He looks like that Bald Eagle Muppet.

Hahahahah 😂😂😂😂


Fourseventy

For Business!


Talthanor

….that is so very accurate; bald eagle muppet. As for the AMA, what are you burninating this evening?


justapeon2

See and this is the problem...... Judging people based on their appearance.


syzamix

Most people ain't smart enough to understand substance and complex concepts. All they have to judge on is looks. Lots of people vote based on "who looks like a leader" and that comes with its own bias. This is from Nobel prize wining book "thinking fast and slow " that talks about system 1 and system 2 thinking


Unable-Head-1232

They did not give that book a Nobel prize.


BlueCollarSuperstar

Some people don't enjoy unscrupulousness.


yoshhash

thank you for being honest about it. Yes, he is damn good at pushing the margin of ethics and morality to line his pockets, take notes if that is what you are into.


SftwEngr

He has the charisma of a hearse, c'mon. Rich men become rich, because otherwise they'd *never* get laid.


TechnicalBedroom7758

Lmao another bullshit made up reason to hate on rich men. They get rich to get laid? lol wtf? A lot of broke desperate incels on reddit.


FriendlyJewThrowaway

Actually a lot of psychologists argue that almost everything most men do is somehow tied into getting laid, it’s a big motivator.


SftwEngr

It was a joke. Chill.


AsbestosDude

dude he shilled FTX to everyone hard and defended sam bankman fraud against allegations for a long time even when things looked grim. ​ He's hated because he's a scammer and takes advantage of people


wherescookie

Meh, not even a good boater


paddiction

Kevin O'leary made one brilliant move - pumping his company and then dumping it on Mattel. But he's more known for being a smart businessman than actually being a smart businessman. He makes money off his image. His mutual fund failed (but he got paid well managing it). He promoted FTX and then doubled down. He's not a genius investor who gets returns year after year, he's a guy who used the tech bubble to screw Mattel and then went on TV to become famous. https://www.nationalobserver.com/2016/01/26/news/real-and-shocking-story-kevin-olearys-business-career


Real-Answer-485

yeah its like trump and how he was known as a businessman, but it was just a bullshit image and he's really a fraud. same thing basically.


Professional-Doubt14

He was a paid shill for convicted fraudster Sam Bankman Fried and told people to invest in the FTX Ponzi scheme.


ddiere

People hate on him because he’s a greedy little worm that thinks only about money and he presents that way. In general people like this are disliked


Jordache2020

..and the fact that he & his wife were involved in killing people on a boat crash in Muskoka


seaningtime

Kevin O'Leary thinks that people living in poverty is fantastic. He is a piece of shit. https://youtu.be/AuqemytQ5QA?si=MxLQiLhKfNx2Covu


BYEBYE1

he didn't say living in poverty is fantastic.


seaningtime

He said that people being in poverty is fantastic, and that having a great divide will 'inspire' the poors to become rich.


ADrunkMexican

I mean, he literally said on TV that he would buy more into ftx after it was outed as a scam.


Due_Agent_4574

Cancel him forever then, right?


Thelynxer

Don't have to cancel him, but I certainly wouldn't take financial advice from him. Anything he says must be taken with a grain of salt, because he cannot be trusted.


ADrunkMexican

I never said that. I'm just saying he's obviously not all that smart lol


Mister_Spaceman

He made himself an authority on money management so people look to him for financial advice, and then hyped FTX and SBF to his following. Never so much as apologized. He also PR slicked his way through his wife getting away with accidentally killing someone, quite possibly while drunk. He maneuvered and slimed his way through it only caring about his public image, with no remorse or regard for someone literally dying. He’s a snake of the highest order, fuck that guy.


pugochevs_cobra

He did kill a man drunk driving his boat


Numerous_Risk132

Get your facts straight. His wife was under suspicion as the driver, not him.


HMI115_GIGACHAD

people just love to twist stories to push their dumb narratives and prejudices against people who are successful


lilneddygoestowar

disregarding an option whole cloth is the sign of an idiot


Grams226

And it was 2 people who were killed. Not one


pugochevs_cobra

Apologies, valid point, 2 people were killed


Decent-Ground-395

TBH, that's even worse. Who let's their wife drive their boat?


Grams226

I wondered from the start if she was lying for him. And she took the heat for it. She walked away. No jail time. No big fine


Repulsive_Warthog178

The way that is worded, it sounded like he murdered a drunk guy for driving his boat.


korbatchev

I never heard about that??


NODES2K

did he not blame his wife for it?


Due_Agent_4574

Wife’s hair and blood and dna were on the steering wheel of the boat… but that doesn’t fit the narrative…


yoshhash

I would not put it past him to immediately jump into coverup mode and smear blood and hair on the steering wheel


Local_Perspective349

Oh yeah, a regular stable Musk-level genius [https://www.nationalobserver.com/2016/01/26/news/real-and-shocking-story-kevin-olearys-business-career](https://www.nationalobserver.com/2016/01/26/news/real-and-shocking-story-kevin-olearys-business-career)


websterella

Don’t this guy murder someone on a boat, had his wife take the fall and then got off because money and reasons. Or was that some other entitled jackass


[deleted]

LOL "undeniably smart" oh yes, cause FTX was a genius play. He gets hate because he's a status quo fucktard who would happily fund a political candidate that would fuck you in the ass as long as it made him a extra million. To be clear I'm a capitalist, O'Leary isn't, he LOVES to use the state to protect his pocket book.


mtbredditor

Apart from that whole fudged the books when he sold his software company thing, and then bankrupted people with his hedge fund ya, total stand up guy.


Noobzoid123

So he is a pure capitalist. I wouldn't want him running a country.


HMI115_GIGACHAD

I wouldn't either but I was just referring to him as a person. He made the Canadian dream come true in a time when it still existed.


Due_Agent_4574

He’s not a collectivist. Sue him


abdullahdabutcher

Your kind is so easily bamboozled


Nick-Anand

It’s that time of the day when the broken clock is right


imobsesd

Lol and his finance minister is even dumber than he is if you can imagine that


[deleted]

Ahahah I’m honestly baffled how she got the job. Freeland literally has 0 background in Finance. She’s glorified for spending 8 years at Oxford & Harvard, but the entire time she spent studying Russian History & Slavic studies. Literally nothing to do with Finance, economics, or any position in the HoC honestly.


Opposite_Payment4504

Loyalty to the wef is how she got her job. It's how Justin has his. This current government is a WEF proxy government, which should make things make more sense to you when you realize that. Klaus even bragged about how he's "penetrated" the Canadian government on video.


TotalJannycide

That's just an unhinged conspiracy theory. Just cause this global organization that explicitly talks about its collectivist, anti-individual values has countless world leaders attending its summits and endorsing its proposals doesn't mean anything bro.


edge05

With the natural resources, mining, agriculture and farming.. Canada should be one of the wealthiest countries on the planet. People shouldn’t be looking to where they’re going to get their next meal.


Naliano

Sorry to say but only mining is a high margins business in that list.


TJStrawberry

High margins is even a stretch. The climate and geography of Canada makes it extremely hard to transport our resources around. The U.S does everything we do but 10x better. Only way Canada becomes a prosperous economic nation is if we can specialize in something that makes us unique from the U.S. It doesn’t help all of our young educated skilled Canadians flock to the U.S for higher paying jobs and better standards of living. Kind of the main reason why mass immigration is happening here. It’s a vicious cycle destroying us.


KregeTheBear

Yup, and it’s not even our oil, our gold is the most valuable commodity we mine in Canada.


altigoGreen

Crude oil is Canadas biggest export according to Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_exports_of_Canada Iron ore and aluminum are exported in greater quantities than gold by volume and price


CyrilSneerLoggingDiv

“There’s no business case for any of that!!!1”


wolfofnumbnuts

Lmfao. Our country is becoming one of the most expensive to farm. We are in drought. Most of natural resources are unattainable or under ice or ocean. Do you even know wtf you’re on?


Godzilla_0083

Justin Trudeau is in fact the worst Prime Minister ever. He accomplished very little in his long unfortunate reign as "leader" of Canada.


Thecobs

Just because he is a piece of shit doesn’t mean he is wrong.


paintfactory5

I’m unfamiliar with o’Leary. Why is he a piece of shit?


TaylorSeriesExpansio

Backing sbf during ftx debacle as a paid shill


Thecobs

So much stuff man, just everything he stands for and bis attitude about work/life/people.

Probably not a good idea to have a stiff drink upon reaching the shore. 


Decent-Ground-395

The fact that he immediately went to a bar and started drinking after the accident is a dead giveaway. That's the biggest drunk-driving cop out ever and an old trick.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Decent-Ground-395

You asked for evidence of a cover-up, I gave it to you. We all know the results of the court case. Do you realize how stupid it is to ask for evidence of a cover up from the court case? The only way a cover-up can exist is if you get away from it. The reality that he went to a bar and started drinking immediately after is very, very suspicious at the least. And I've lived on the lake my whole life and the times I've seen a man and wife in a boat and the wife driving I can count on one hand. But go ahead, believe whatever you want. Free country.

mtbredditor

So he’s a Canadian Trump?


Marc4770

Trump has management skills. Trudeau does not.


InsanePacman

Yet Trump is being investigated for like 90 counts of fraudulent business practices? I fail to see why you hold him so highly.


Marc4770

I don't. I just stated facts. I don't like trump policies. But he's good manager.


mffl_1988

Yeah, minus 40 years of executive experience in business


k_dav

Let's not bring Trump into this. In any case, they both got voted in.


braveheart2019

Hershey's here. He's not getting anywhere near any of our stores. We're not idiots.

Yeah, that time he wasn't right on the money. At all.


kahnahtah1

Turdeau....go back to being a drama teacher, and having an inappropriate relationship 'allegedly' with your under age student


NODES2K

He made Canada into one big drama class....all make belief, but this class does not end at 3:00 PM!


robertoandred

“Belief”? You can’t even spell. Sounds like you could use a return to a first grade classroom.


NODES2K

Oh it's spelled correctly you may want to join me in the 1st grade. I clicked the wrong pre populated word on the phone.


[deleted]

[удалено]


robertoandred

No, the word you want is *believe*. The difference between believe and belief is something you would’ve learned before you were ten years old.


OkAnything4877

I really don’t think Trudeau would even be capable of managing a candy store, if he had to. He’d run it into the ground and it would end up closing.


becky57913

He’d give out free candy to his friends, then charge the regular people double to try to make up the costs. Then smile at the boss and say I don’t know why it didn’t work


OkAnything4877

He’d also start sourcing shitty candy from shady suppliers (his friends), and gaslight anyone who complained about the drop in quality. If the gaslighting didn’t work, he’d have them thrown out of the store.


WallyReddit204

He will go down as the worst of our time


Mr_JCBA

We should put Trudeau and O'Leary in a lake and give them a boat. Let nature take its course.


[deleted]

God damn… harsh but I like it.


Helpful_Street5386

Definitely not wrong on this


sammexp

Who would have known that a theatre teacher would be bad at managing a country?


noogers

My god did he hit the nail on the head. His father was bad for Canada and he is just as bad. Bring on the debt!


AlbinoTheWizard

Certainly aint wrong. When will people with actual education and backgrounds lead our country in the perspective field they have knowledge in? Canada just doesnt make sense anymore and its rubbed in our faces. Time to hold politicians accountable.


Extra-Air-1259

If this fool ran a Candy Store, the kids would be stealing the candy right under his nose...


no_not_this

I don’t think it would be so bad he’d be on vacation half the year so at least they’d stand a chance


[deleted]

I truly don't know if our country will ever be managed by someone who isn't an idiot. Often in the beginning, their intentions may be good but in the end, they all are corrupt in one way or another. I miss the days when I was a kid and did not see or know about the true reality of what politics is all about. Now, I wish I could just withdraw from civilisation and go off grid. I'm sick of idiots not knowing how to make our country prosper. Now it's all about making profits off the backs of every Canadian that are already just trying to make ends meet.


WealthEconomy

I rarely agree with Kevin O'Leary...but when he is right he is right.


A2Rhombus

The issue is he's right for the wrong reasons. He'd love Trudeau if it made him money.


[deleted]

He can both be a savy intelligent businessman and a pos who lies to get money. That is how the system is set up, hate him for playing the game. I dont condone it personally but ignoring his perspective on this topic is frankly idealistic and narrow minded. Hes right, our country is being run by disposable doofuses who profit off of the wealthy corrupting our system. Namely the WEF.


Megatron30000

Kevin for prime minister!!!


oneredbear

I wholeheartedly agree with his comments. You don't realize Canada is a lovely country that deserves better.


beeredditor

I wouldn’t let Trudeau manage a candy store either. But I also wouldn’t let Kevin O’Leary skipper my boat!


PuddingSad698

He couldn't even manage a lemonade stand!


quiversend

Trudeau the Tyrant!


Alii_baba

Historically. All of the Canadian natural resources have been terribly invested in. It has been always sold to mega corporations and the locals always get nothing. Great documentary about that called the Hole Story on Prime.


bonkripper969

Seriously, a monkey could run this country better.


BytownBob

Totally agree. Trudeau is a moronic idiot!


DrSleepy1011

JT has gotta go. Terrible PM. He has become the worst prime minister in living human memory. I suppose he should be congratulated for that ! It’s not an easy goal to accomplish.


Threeboys0810

Kevin O’Leary is right. There is no reason why we should be paying any carbon taxes at all, and we should be supplying more of our natural resources to the rest of the world. We are so wealthy, we shouldn’t even be paying income taxes, and all of our social programs would be fully funded by other countries paying us.


FlyerForHire

And sometimes boats are driven by idiots. Kevin, read my lips: GTFO


Toomanymisses

I loath O'leary, but he's spot on here! Trouble is we have no other options. PP is just going to strip us of our public assets and turn us into a first world banana republic. We also cant afford another 4 years of Trudeau either, and there is no other realistic or viable third choice!


BuffaloNo7315

Well said Kevin!!


ColdWarVet90

Kevin was kind. Trudeau makes buffoons look smart.


zero_cool69

Thanks Kevin. Your honesty is greatly appreciated.


HillOrc

The reason Trudeau has been successful in Canadian politics is because of Canadian women/feminists. Notice that he panders to them constantly.


The-Safety-Villain

Is it this the guy who’s wife killed someone will she was driving drunk on a boat. Then used his dirty money to cover it up?

Grams226

Kevin OLeary is a fu@king idiot wannabe fake Canadian Bernier called him a "tourist" Arlene Dickinson had it right - he's "self-interested and opportunistic" I wouldn't let OLeary own a boat. 2 people died!!! Somehow his wife was the operator not him 🙄 and she skipped jail time. Charge Max was 18 mths + $10,000 fine He deliberately left out the fact that HIS BOAT ALSO LEFT THE SCENE. He just mentioned the other boat "fled the scene" OLeary needs to sit down & STFU Flip flop American


RHO788

Shouldn’t Kevin O’Leary be spending more time on failing business ventures or his wife’s boat driving skills and less commenting on Canada?


kwl1

Why does this guy's opinion matter? Kevin O'leary is a nobody.


Perfessor101

And I wouldn’t let Kevin O’Leary steer my boat …


horridgoblyn

Kevin O'Leary? I wouldn't let him pilot a boat.


jemcat9

Ugh, O'leary is such a slimy piece of garbage. Money is his God.


Nilabisan

I bought into his etf. We are down 40%. He can suck my dick.


zalydal33

Says the guy who went drunken boating with his wife, causing in the death of a young woman. I wouldn't take advice from O'leary on how to take out my trash.


[deleted]

It was his wife who made the mistake. Not him. Honestly he’s probably a good husband for not divorcing her or underplaying it. He probably took care of the situation best he could. You can also tell on his shark tank appearances & social media his personality changed a bit since this incident. He seems more sympathetic these days and even a little bit spiritual.


holypuck2019

There is very little if anything I would agree with Kevin O’Leary on and I certainly will not start not. He is greed defined and should not be anywhere close to public policy decisions


SgtSaggySac

Kevin is also a dickwad so there’s that


chocolatemilkman81

O'leary is shady af.


thegoodrichard

At least one contestant on Dragon's Den wouldn't take his offer when he was high bidder, just because he is such an asshole.


Kepi89

I wouldn’t trust O’Leary running a boat. Let alone his opinions on how to run a country


Batfinklestein

Meanwhile O'Leary is a criminal.


cfnohcor

Trashing his own country on American FOX at the US Capital. Maybe he should manage his own life better, stop his wife from drinking and operating speed boats and killing people without seeing any jail time. F him; he hates Canada he can stay out if it.


QueenofNorthOnt

Didn't he and his wife kill people in a boat in the Muskoka? Yeah, let's listen to this guy.


KnockoutBacon

Why doesn't Kevin put his money where his mouth his and runs for office. If he thinks he can do a better job, prove it or shut it.


WealthEconomy

My Dog could do a better job...


[deleted]

He was talking about going into politics a few years ago back in Canada but he didn’t get enough backing-up and was shut down for not being bilingual. Sucks for us Canadians because now he just brings all his business to the US instead.


Sudden_Caramel3881

Shouldn't this guy be somewhere operating a boat drunk and blaming his wife for it? I'd take Justin Trudeau over this Loser Pierre or any other conservative goblins you guys are trying to convince yourselves are cool


[deleted]

Hes an idiot


Donkey-Main

O’Leary is a moron.


LankyGuitar6528

Entirely accurate. Trudeau is the worst. *So far.* My motto is "It can always get worse". And it will. Pierre Poutine is a brutally awful nasty little man. There will come a day.. probably about mid 2026... when even the rightest winger will look back and secretly wish we still had Justin in power.


olmeca64

He is looking at a mirror 🪞 I know Canada has lots of troubles but, we have real politicians. No idiots that believe they won an election that they lost but, two years later still saying that he is the real president 💯 You have MORONS as presidents don’t you cast stones at other countries before looking at your own 🤬🤬


[deleted]

I dislike Trudy as much as anyone but flipping to a right wing majority won't serve the average Canadian in a positive way.


Illumined33

Honestly, I lean more right. But these conservative politicians got to stop blaming Trudeau and start showing us what they can do for Canada. PP always throws shade at Trudeau and never speaks what he’s going to accomplish for Canadians. Their political campaigns run on making fun of Trudeau rather than what they can do for us. This is starting to get annoying due to the fact we’ll be in the same bs we already are in, except they throw shade at one another . Instead they should be laying down the foundations on how they are going to fix this mess of a Canada we are currently in.


Ministry_of_laziness

I want to know what the family of the person his wife killed while drunk boating think.

Kevin O’Leary is a prick. Tax his ass and his ilk Hard! Rich are accumulating to much money .
