MPs are guaranteed a pension after spending 6 years in service as an elected MP.

He entered the parliament at age 25, ensuring him a pension since the age of 31. Although he still has to be 55 to actually start collecting it. Considering how long he has been an MP, he's probably looking at pulling in at least 100K/yr from age 55 onward.

Pareidolia is the tendency to see faces in random patterns. Our brains are just kind of wired to recognize facial patterns. It doesn't mean you have schizophrenia, necessarily.

Canada has drug ads, but with special rules. You can either mention the drug name or its indication, but not both.

So you'll get ads that say stuff like "Ozempic - ask your doctor if it's right for you" with people happily eating in a coffeeshop. But they won't tell you what Ozempic is supposed to do.
