Liberalism in Canada is a disease, man.
We have the worst affordability in the developed world & this person thinks the average Canadian doesn’t “care about costs.”

Andrea Micieli@AndreaMicieli
And Conservatives can’t continue to oppose projects because (pulling excuses out of the hat): “Liberal insiders get rich” “Costs” The average Canadian thinks that stuff is irrelevant in case the last several election results are new to you. Conservatives need to win (and where it matters) instead of perpetually complaining.

@AndreaMicieli Let’s call a spade a spade.
LPC and MSM ran a propaganda campaign to convince seniors they were losing their pension & would have their retirement age pushed to 67. That Pierre would sell us out to Trump.
You know what the average Canadian wants?
To eat.
English

@AndreaMicieli We’re talking about the average Canadian?
40% of Canadians report to being $200 or less from insolvency.
The average family loses 43% of their annual income to taxation.
90 billion dollars on a high speed rail that’ll save you 90 minutes in commute time.
Brain = washed.

@AndreaMicieli If you don’t care about the cost of projects that return zero ROI (actually will lose 60~ billion dollar over 60 years) - it’s because you’re either not contributing to the tax pool, or you’re uneducated in how the economy works. You can’t just spend spend spend.

@AndreaMicieli Canada opened their first BOC in 1935.
From 1935 to 2014, the national deficit never reached 650 billion.
In 11 years of LPC rule, they’ve added 700 billion to the national debt.
Our economy is shrinking.
Worst affordability in the developed world
Wake up.

Wrong move. Way to lose urban, suburban, and younger votes because there’s NIMBY complainers.
Conservatives should be able to think big while protecting the public purse. Canadians want to see national projects.
Carney would be right to hit the Conservatives on this. And he will, effectively.

Save $90 billion. Protect private property. Stop the Liberal Alto boondoggle: conservative.ca/cpc/halt-the-n…

@ryanwhitney6 @spittinchiclets No one is saying mental health isn’t important.
We’re saying, you’re a professional athlete in the fucking grind.
Be a fuckin competitor.

@BryceHall Lmao
At least 20 of them would maul you in a legit fight.
One of them would kill you, inside 10 seconds.

@Bone348 @sarobertsonca Only an idiot would look at the worst GDP growth per capita in the G7, the highest debt to income ratio in the G7 and the worst affordability in the developed world and think:
"If we just spend more money..."
We've already more than doubled the national debt lol. How much more?
English

@Bone348 @sarobertsonca Stephen Harper didn't double the national debt in 10 years or create this affordability crisis.
The LPC did.
Carney was on the team, a background player. One advisor amongst many.
We know now what happens when you listen to his advice for a decade - the LPC has shown us.
English

@Bone348 @sarobertsonca Lmao that's some liberal "the budget will balance itself" bullshit right there.
English

@JimmyDunphy1 @sarobertsonca If u want to solve affordability u can only make sure ppl make more money, bringing prices back down=deflation aka complete economic crash.
How do u grow salaries; INVEST, especially in infrastructure and locally-made equipment, bc they're local, i.e a massive steel HSR line.
English

@Bone348 @sarobertsonca If anything you just said was anywhere near true;
Why aren't all the other g7 countries ranked near the bottom of the OECD in affordability like Canada is?
English

@JimmyDunphy1 @sarobertsonca The Cdn govt spends less than the US govt per capita, it's not even close. The affordability crisis is the result of COVID related inflation. Housing is a policy failure of all lvls of govt honestly. Large infrastructure projects is exactly what we need, Harper did it after 2008.
English

@Bone348 @sarobertsonca C.D Howe Institute published a report in 2025 that concluded a cumulative present value benefits over 60 years to be between 15-27 billion.
You want us to spend 90 billion dollars, just to have a negative ROI of 63 billion dollars?
What are you talking about?
English

@JimmyDunphy1 @sarobertsonca Few of these things are related TO HSR, which between construction and exploitation will benefit billions more to the economy than it'll cost.
English

@Bone348 @sarobertsonca The Liberals have added approx 700 BILLION dollars to Canada's national debt since 2015.
To put that into perspective, the BOC was created in 1935.
From 1935 to 2014, Canada had not reached 700 billion in national debt.
The Liberals have added 700B to the debt in 11 years.
English

@Bone348 @sarobertsonca We have 2.2 million people visiting foodbanks every month - its such a crisis that foodbanks are telling people they can only come ONCE per week.
We have record homelessness.
40% of Canadians report being $200 or less from insolvency.
You liberals just spend, man.
English

@MECA_Canada @JoshDehaas @sarobertsonca You can fly from Toronto to Ottawa in about 45 minutes.
It's also a 4 hour drive.
There are WAY more important things to spend 90 billion dollars on than to shave off an hour and a half on travel time.
English

@JoshDehaas @sarobertsonca I hear you.
It’s 100% possible this specific project is not the right call, but something which lets people travel 3-4x faster between one of the world’s busiest corridors is absolutely worth the investment. Full stop.
Imagine Toronto to Ottawa in <2 hours.

@Anactualsloth1 @ZarahnStuart @HockeyyInsiderr @penguins @NJDevils I think the change that makes the most sense is to just scrap the way the playoffs are seeded and go back to a 1v8 format. That's where all the upsets were possible.
Right now the worst spot to finish is like the 2 seed because you know you're about to face the hardest matchup.
English

@Anactualsloth1 @ZarahnStuart @HockeyyInsiderr @penguins @NJDevils I'm in favour of the 3-2-1 method.
Reg win = 3
OT/SO win = 2
OTL= 1
That ensures all games are 3pt games and keeps the standings probably more fair but we as fans would likely lose these "must win" games for about 15 teams with a month to go in the season.
English

The overtime/SO loss in the NHL is a funny rule. The @penguins have 16 loser points; 37 wins and 37 losses and will comfortably make the playoffs. The @NJDevils have 2 loser points ; 38 wins and 35 losses and have already been eliminated from playoff contention. The @GoldenKnights have 16 loser points; 33 wins and 42 losses and will comfortably make the playoffs. The @NHLBruins have 8 loser points ; 42 wins and 32 losses and currently in a dog fight to make the playoffs 50-50 chance. Is the @nhl REALLY putting the best product forward? Or is there a way to make the Stanley cup playoffs even MORE competitive?
