To all my followers and those I follow: No matter where you are in this country, I love you guys. With the election results, I’ll be changing my efforts to 100% promoting Alberta Separation. I think this will be the only way to save Alberta and possibly the rest of Canada. If I say something about Canada or your province that offends you, know that it wasn’t my intention. It is aimed at those who vote for woke, socialist tyrannical ideas. My apologies in advance. Love from CGY_GUY PS. I’m gonna make my account private for a while. I won’t be debating idiots anymore. Follow me and I’ll follow back.

Liberals created a tax subsidy letting government-approved media write off up to $85,000 PER JOURNALIST. When @junonewscom asked the CRA which outlets are cashing in, they said they “can’t divulge” this information to taxpayers. junonews.com/p/exclusive-cr…

I asked Grok a simple question: Compare the Trudeau era to the Carney era. Using metrics like unemployment, GDP, debt, deficit, etc. When were Canadians better off? (I never mentioned Harper, but see below)👇 The last 11 years (Trudeau & Carney) delivered stagnation for the average family, while the national credit card maxed out. Trudeau (Oct 2015 – March 2025) vs. Carney (March 2025 – present, ~1 year in office). Here’s a clear, metric-by-metric breakdown using official StatsCan, Finance Canada, Fraser Institute, and IMF data as of March 2026: Carney’s window is short, so his “record” largely reflects Trudeau-era momentum plus early Liberal continuity. Unemployment Trudeau start (Oct 2015): ~6.9–7.0% Trudeau end (early 2025): ~6.7% Carney now (Feb 2026): 6.7% (up from 6.5% in Jan; worst monthly job loss in years outside COVID — 84,000 jobs shed) Verdict: Basically flat for a decade, then slight worsening under Carney. No real improvement under either. GDP GrowthTrudeau era average (2016–2024): Headline real GDP ~1.9% annually (second-best in G7 on raw numbers, thanks to massive population growth). Real GDP per capita: Only 0.3% per year — worst among recent long-serving PMs and the weakest decade since the Great Depression. Carney (2025–2026): 2025 ~1.6–1.7%; 2026 forecasts ~1.0–1.2% (some quarters contracting). Still lagging per-capita growth. Verdict: Trudeau delivered population-driven “growth” that left the average Canadian poorer in real terms. Carney hasn’t reversed it. Federal Debt Trudeau: Net debt roughly doubled (~$619–700B → ~$1.2–1.4T). Debt-to-GDP: ~31–35% → ~42–45%. Carney (first full year): Debt continuing upward trajectory; per-person federal debt near record levels (~$56k). Debt-to-GDP projected to rise further. Verdict: Trudeau exploded the debt. Carney is accelerating the climb. Deficits Trudeau: Nine straight deficits (pre- and post-COVID). Structural deficits persisted even in “good” years (~$40B+ range late in term). Carney’s first budget (2025–26): $78.3B deficit projected — one of the largest non-pandemic shortfalls ever — before gradually declining but still elevated. Verdict: Trudeau normalized endless red ink. Carney doubled down in Year 1. Bonus Context (Affordability / Living Standards)Housing, real wages, and cost-of-living pressures worsened dramatically under Trudeau (home prices vs incomes hit OECD extremes). Inflation spiked then cooled, but the damage to purchasing power and per-capita output stuck. Carney’s early moves (some targeted tax relief, carbon tax tweaks) haven’t delivered measurable relief yet. When Were Canadians Better Off? Pre-2015 (under Harper) — by a mile on the metrics that actually matter for everyday life. Real GDP per capita grew faster (~0.5% annually under Harper vs. 0.3% under Trudeau). Debt-to-GDP and deficits were lower and trending toward balance. Housing was far more affordable relative to incomes. Living standards rose for the average person instead of just the population total. Between Trudeau and Carney? Carney hasn’t changed the trajectory. Same party, same big-spending playbook, same weak per-capita results, and deficits/debt getting worse, not better. Swapping one Liberal suit for another didn’t fix the decade of decline — it extended it. 🚨🚨🚨Bottom line: Canadians were demonstrably better off before Trudeau took office.

Apparently, its far right to love the oil industry. It's probably also far right to be a married man with a wife and kids, who pays his taxes.

As of September 30, 2025, Maritime Launch Services’ own MD&A said it had only six full-time employees. The company also stated, “At September 30, 2025, the Company has insufficient sources of operating cash flows to meet its ongoing needs.” It was losing money, had a $20.0 million working-capital deficiency, and warned of serious doubt about continuing without raising more money. Maritime Launch was taken public through a 2022 RTO. At the time of that RTO, Jacob and Matier together held just over 50% of the company, and by late 2024 their disclosed beneficial ownership was still just under 50% on a fully diluted basis. This is not the same as a properly structured large-scale P3 where the market tests the project and decides whether it is worth financing at scale. Instead, a tightly held company that was financially struggling has been awarded $20 million a year for the next 10 years from the Feds. The spread is what makes this even harder to defend. Maritime Launch’s own filing says the Province of Nova Scotia owns the land and leases it to the company at an annual rent of $13,500. Ottawa has now signed a 10-year, $200 million agreement for a dedicated launch pad and related services at that same site. The company has also said that the province of Nova Scotia has authorized more than $30 million of support for infrastructure at the site. Taxpayers are being asked to accept an extraordinary gap between the company’s low-cost access to public land and the value of the federal deal. I have also noticed a number of small X accounts suddenly promoting the stock on the back of the government announcement. I am not alleging coordination or illegality on the basis of that alone. I am saying the optics are terrible. When a financially weak, tightly held, RTO-listed company lands a massive federal contract and social media promotion follows, the public is entitled to, and should, ask much harder questions about process, scrutiny, and value for money.

Johnson is an awesome shooter and a good guy. Nice pick up. Will be tough for him to match Tardi’s sweeping ability. Time will tell. I think this team definitely has the shooters, but not convinced they have the sweepers to compete. Unpopular opinion but I’m not convinced Martin is as strong of sweeper as others believe.

Kevin Koe's not done yet. Introducing Team Koe's lineup for next season: Karrick Martin, Aaron Sluchinski, Johnson Tao, and Kevin Koe. The 23-year-old Tao recently skipped a team that fell to Koe in the Alberta final earlier this year.

@007GoldMiner @TimHoustonNS I misunderstood your post at first. I t thought you meant this new venture would overtake SpaceX by year end, but you meant it would be no longer Albertans tax dollars. Here’s hoping. 🤞

Currently Canada doesn't have the ability to launch space projects on our own, instead relying on the United States. That means turning south for getting satellites into orbit. With this project, that will change. I'm happy to see this investment being made in Nova Scotia, with the new launch pad expected to come into operation by 2028. This is an important investment for Canadian sovereignty. Another reason why Nova Scotia is the defence capital of Canada. 🇨🇦

This is total Bullshit. I am in the mining business from Canada. The Liberals drove the mining developers out of Canada with Bill C-69 and excessive regulation. We went to friendlier jurisdictions, like Peru. Peru is a democratic, rule of law country, that lets us sell our production to whoever we want. If Canada wants to pay the market price, no problem. No need for this Bullshit announcement.

Does anyone dispute these facts…in March of 2020 there was a nationwide panic that was based on an imperial college study that suggested that covid had a 3-4% fatality rate. Policy was crafted based on that study. By May everyone knew that those estimates were over stated by about 500x. The new information would have never caused a panic…but the ball was already rolling…what did I get wrong?
