    To imply he’s part of the 1% is absurd. He’s a small Canadian business owner. He’s well off sure, but he’s not fucking muskrat with hundreds of billions in net worth.

      If he’s not there, he’s pretty close. That level is about 500k a year or maybe a bit more for Vancouver. He talked about living a year at a lower salary to show his kids how the majority of people live. So wagering a guess that he takes home enough that it makes life experiences different.

        He definitely has life-changing amounts of mine for sure. But it’s definitely good if he puts effort into teaching his children not to take it for granted and be nice to other people. From the videos his kids appear in, they seem very well mannered.
