If you have to ask someone for your freedom and liberty, you will never be free nor liberated.

As I get to the point in life where I now want very little, life has become interestingly quite peaceful 😌

@jkenney Yes, I stood in line to vote for this guy. I was high

This is nonsensical and counterproductive. Canada is finally getting serious about investing in national defence. This should be welcomed and encouraged by our allies, not attacked. For the first time since the Cold War, we have achieved the longstanding 2% GDP target, and are credibly moving to the new 3.5% core defence target. The Blame Canada crowd here is claiming that’s all the result of creative accounting. Nonsense. - We have adopted the same framework for scoring defence spending as most of our NATO allies - The federal budget and estimates show real, material budgeted increases to meet the targets - We are spending $55 billion to build 15 cutting edge destroyers, part of the larger naval ship building strategy launched by the Harper government - The RCN is about to launch the procurement of 12 new submarines - The RCAF is finally about to take possession of our first tranche of F35s as part of the new fighter jet fleet - Canada is spending tens of $ billions to modernize and expand Arctic military capacity - The decline in total Canadian Armed Forces personnel has finally turned around, and force size is expanding. Anyone who works in or close to the Canadian defence sector knows that this is real. Exciting things are happening in defence tech innovation, procurement, industry partnerships, etc. Canada’s underinvestment in national defence goes back decades under different governments. It was allowed to get to a shameful state, and for too long we have preened about our moral authority while living rent free under the American security umbrella. It will take time to achieve the ambitious goals of Canada’s defence rebuild. But Prime Minister Carney’s commendable defence reset began just a year ago. The Permanent Joint Board on Defence has been a key platform for cooperation on North American defence since the Second World War. It has operated in good times and bad: during our joint operations in the Korean and Afghan Wars; during much lower levels of Canadian defence spending; and even when a US President threatened to annex Canada. Our two countries have shed blood together in the defence of freedom. Geography dictates that we will always need each other to defend North America. So our alliance must be able to stand above occasional tensions in the bilateral relationship.

This is what Carney did while with the bank of England. He tanked their economy. This is what you clowns voted for. When Canada falls I will be the first to say I told you so!

@KatieMiller It's possible that it's a natural cleansing of the species. A reset if you will. There may be a natural reason behind our behavior that we really don't understand or realize.

I feel sad for the people who will miss out on having children because of anti-family propaganda pushed by the left. Humanity will collapse without increasing birth rates.

@cb_doge I would say it's actually needing very little along with little to no debt.

The highest form of wealth is peace of mind.

@TeslaBoomerMama This is like dropping your card, picking it up real quick, then continue playing as if no one saw it. COVID was that card

Gimme a break

@TeslaBoomerMama You never see ads for delicious ripe mangoes straight from the tree. Why? Because they are delicious! No ads necessary. If you see them in an ad, they're enhancing something else 🤗

See, smarter than Elon. Also did not know Rebellionaire pays Farzad and Jordan, oh well.

@IfindRetards @elonmusk Some truths make people angry

@elonmusk Beautiful 😂

@Cougarific @erinotoole @RealMattA_ I believe that Canada is divided between two groups and it's not down the middle of the left and right: Those of us who value complete freedom and liberty vs those who value authoritarianism and complete state control.

Good question Erin… It’s simple. We needed someone who would stick to their word and stay ‘tru blue conservative’ during a time when 6 million people were being discriminated against because they refused to inject themselves with an experimental gene therapy. Seeing you in your car, excited to be injected was so sad when there were so many people sounding the warning bells on this very understudied and highly suspect medical intervention. Therefore I felt your response to the vaccine was too moderate, cautious, and ineffective at strongly defending my freedom to make choices and not be discriminated against for those choices. I saw you make statement supporting the freedoms to choose but it wasn’t enough of what I needed to stick with you. Later, you dodged direct endorsement of the Freedom convoy, refused to attend the protest, emphasized getting people vaccinated, and distanced yourself from the very people with the most to lose. I saw this as weak or evasive. More centrist than Conservative. And then there was the video with Trudeau saying ‘We’re all in this together’ with you standing there in agreement. We were not all in this together. Millions of us were not all in it together. We were fired from our jobs, kept from our loved ones and discriminated against like no one has been witness to since the Japanese were interned in WW2. I realized then that Canada has been compromised and it would take more than someone like you with a go along to get along stance to save it. x.com/annamiepaul/st…

Remember when Erin O'Toole, Conservative Party leader, encouraged everyone to get the Covid shot? He promoted the Astrazenica shot, which was quickly withdrawn from the market due to risk of blood clots. "It's safe!" Any apologies @erinotoole ? LOST FREEDOM FILES # 5122

@TeslaBoomerMama @X Of all the people who deserve it, I would say you're in the top 10 for your dedicated work for TSLA shareholders 👏

Got my third highest payout ever from the @X creator revenue share program this fortnight, very grateful. The rules keep changing, we are learning and adapting. Hope you are entertained and enjoy. As always, all numbers here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

@RiseOfAlberta Me being asked if I'm going to listen to Jason Kenney talk

Tomorrow, the first of two major debates on Alberta independence gets underway in Edmonton. Keith Wilson will debate Jason Kenney at the Civitas conference under Chatham House Rule, so the details of that first exchange will largely stay with those who are actually in the room. The second debate is the major public event: May 25 at Grand Theatre in Calgary. It is already sold out, a clear sign of just how much public interest and momentum is building around this issue. These debates matter because Alberta independence is no longer on the sidelines. It is now at the center of Alberta’s political future, and more people are paying attention than ever before.
