🚨BREAKING: Liberals vote against supporting Oshawa auto workers and strengthening Canada’s auto industry. Today, the Liberals voted against our Conservative opposition motion calling for a tariff-free Canada–U.S. auto pact. Our Conservative auto plan would remove the GST on Canadian-made vehicles, require automakers to build in Canada to sell here duty-free, and harmonize regulations with our North American partners so that the Canadian auto industry can stay competitive. Instead, the Liberals chose more inaction and uncertainty for Oshawa auto workers.

The Checkout Called. It's Not Impressed. Your Economy Doesn’t Feed People. Dear @MarkJCarney You told Canadians to judge you at the checkout. That was your standard. Your line in the sand. So I took you at your word. And I came prepared. I brought my grocery receipt, and I brought my tax assessment from the Canada Revenue Agency, because I am well aware that the easiest way to dismiss people like me is to pretend we are exaggerating. I am not. My gross income sits at roughly $26,800. I am a widowed, rural school bus driver raising an 11 year old child. That number is not theoretical. It is the framework every decision in my household has to fit inside. Now let’s talk about your “Judge me at by the checkout” remark. $84.78. Twelve items. One week of school lunch supplies. One luxury bag of Doritos I hope my autistic kid will like. One bag of Sunchips I know she will like. Not groceries. Not abundance. Not even balance. No meat except for pepperoni sticks. No dairy. Just Supplies. And before anyone reaches for the standard talking points, let me address them directly, because I already know what your response would be. You would point to a school food program. You would point to a grocery benefit. You would present both as evidence that help is either here or just around the corner. Neither of those things solves this problem. As I said, my daughter is autistic. Food is not a matter of preference or persuasion. It is a hard boundary defined by texture, predictability, and tolerance. If you think a child like mine will eventually “get hungry enough” to eat whatever is put in front of her, then you do not understand what autism looks like in real life, and the endless feelings of failure mixed with overwhelmed exasperation for parents. My child has, and will go forty hours without eating something she cannot tolerate. And if she forces it, she will throw it up simply from the stress of eating something she cant tolerate. That is not stubbornness. That is not behavior that can be corrected with incentives or programs. That is neurological biology meeting reality. So no, I cannot rely on a generic school food program filled with random items, unknown ingredients, and inconsistent preparation in kitchens I don't know are free from cross-contamination or not. I cannot gamble on whether something will trigger headaches, nausea, or outright refusal. And I cannot risk my child going hungry because a policy designer in Ottawa assumed all children interact with food the same way. There is another layer to this that people like to ignore because it is uncomfortable. If my child consistently shows up to school not eating what is provided, or not eating enough, it does not get interpreted as “policy failure.” It risks being interpreted as parental neglect. Teachers report concerns. Systems activate. Suddenly I am not just navigating grocery prices, I am defending myself as a low-income parent of an autistic child. One more stereotypical label applied to my household without considering the facts. That is the reality your programs do not account for. I can't even fathom hiw disabled Canadians with special diets survive. That might explain why we just surpassed 100,000 doctor assisted suicide in your MAiD program. So I do what parents have always done. I adapt. I buy what she will eat. I cook extra at night so she has something for lunch. Sometimes I cook an entirely separate meal just so she can get take it in her lunch and get through the school week. She will not eat sandwiches. She will eat the components, but not assembled. The only bread she tolerates is light rye, at six dollars a loaf, and only if there’s a cheeseburger between the slices. Otheriwse she wont eat bread or toast, so even that workaround comes with a premium. This is not inefficiency. This is survival inside constraints you have never had to think about. Now let’s talk about cost, because that is where this all collapses. The box of food I bought is not impressive. It is not nutritionally perfect. It is not what your government would showcase in a campaign graphic. It is what fits inside my budget and inside my child’s limits at the same time. Milk at $7.39 plus deposit. Cereal at $7.29. Those are not even in my cart. They are examples of the line I cannot cross. They represent the point where “better choices” become financially inaccessible. On top of that, I pay deposits on beverage containers in Saskatchewan. I’m paying $1.60/L for fuel to travel forty kilometres to the nearest grocery store and back. The closest Walmart is 3 hours one way. The closest No Frills is 80 minutawaine way. I pay taxes layered onto already inflated prices. Every step increases cost before the food ever reaches my kitchen. And while all of that is happening, I am told to follow the Canada Food Guide. Have you SEEN it? I somehow doubt while in your ivory tower eating your foie gras, that you’re attuned to the hunger beneath you. The food guide states our plates should be comprised of half fruits and vegetables. The rest whole grains and lean protein. Explain how that is supposed to work on $26,800 a year, with a child who cannot simply “adjust,” in a system where every input cost is rising. Explain it in numbers like I’m five. Because the numbers I am working with do not reconcile with the expectations you are setting. Let me make this even clearer. My child has already adapted to scarcity. She usually goes without breakfast, because of limited choices, availability and her never-ending pickiness of textures, smells and consistency. But dont worry you and your cabinet will say “...but there is a school food program!” Lunch is small. The students are only given 13 minutes to eat their lunches, because time is money and teachers feel underpaid for their efforts. So no extra time allowed lest the teachers have to give up more of their time unpaid. Supper is portioned. Not because that is what I want for her, but because that is what the budget allows. Water fills a lot of the empty spacetin order to fake the feel of being sated. Water consumption is the one part of the food guide we can actually follow as long as I pay the water bill. As for me, I eat about once every thirty hours on average. Not because I am not hungry. Because that is what I can afford to do so she can eat. That is what YOUR liberal economy looks like from the inside. Food banks are not the safety net people imagine. The closest one to me is an hour away. That requires fuel I cannot spare. It requires me to show up in person during hours I am working. It is not accessible in any meaningful way. For context, I get paid four hours a day to drive a school bus and the food bank hours are 1-4 pm. Remember, its a one hour drive just to get there. Another hour home. I won’t even describe how long it takes to wait in the line, or the endless embarrassment at having to do so. There is no daycare. No babysitters hiding out in the canola fields. No means to find a second job that won't get eaten up paying for daycare. So when you stand there and suggest that the Liberal system has supports built into it, understand that those supports do not reach a lot of people who need them. They certainly do not reach households like mine in a way that materially changes outcomes. The fact the system even needs supports your first clue that your system is failing. And people like me don't want supports. We want a paycheck that isn't taxed to death so we can afford to live again. And every time you or one of your clown ministers answers a question about affordability with comments like “We brought in a school food program” its an outright slap in the face. Even the child tax credit, at it’s highest amount doesn’t elevate us above the poverty line so again, your cabinet ministers claiming they’re raising thousands of children out of poverty is outright bullshit. Please! Enough! Just STOP with the bullshit. I refuse to accept it any longer. And this is the part you need to hear, whether you like it or not. Before oil prices moved. Before the latest conflict overseas. Before any of the convenient explanations. Nothing was getting better. Not one solitary thing. You have travelled in contradiction to your climate rhetoric and carbon goals. You have announced billions in endless supports for Ukraine and other international programs that do nothing for my household, or even my country. You have signed agreements and issued statements and reassured Canadians that progress is being made, yet Canadian cannot point to any progress affecting their lives in any meaningful way. And at the supermarket checkout, where your performance is actually measured, there is no evidence of progress anywhere. Absolute nothingness. An abyssal cavern of emptiness and hungry stomachs. Not one single thing. If you believe you can continue reshaping the economy, layering costs through policy, and pursuing your agenda while assuming people will quietly absorb it, then you are fundamentally misreading the country you are governing. Because people are not confused. They are not misinformed. They are not failing to understand your vision. They are doing the math. And the math is not working. Right now, families like mine are being forced into a calculation no parent should have to make. We are choosing between the food our children will actually eat and the food we can afford to throw away when they cannot. That is not a policy debate. That is a failure. You told Canadians to judge you at the checkout. So here is the judgment. Your words have not translated into results. Your policies have not produced relief. And the reality in homes like mine is moving in the opposite direction of everything you promised. Fix that. Now. Or accept that people will stop listening to what you say and start responding to what they are living. You have the audacity to go on vacation leaving millions of Canadians hanging, waiting for any sign you might, some day, perhaps, just maybe, do that “something” for Canada that you claimed only you alone could do, since you alone are the only one who “understands how the world works.” You clearly don’t understand Jack shit about how the world works, and it shows. Yours in justified contempt, Melanie in Saskatchewan School bus driver Widowed mother And... Still waiting for your promises to show up at the checkout. 👇🏻 buymeacoffee.com/melanieinsaska… 👇🏻 open.substack.com/pub/melanieins…

It's pretty bad when your Governor uses forecast data (which is not actual data) and short term natural weather trends (which are not worse than historical events) to try and scare state residents. What he should be worried about is why NOAA is altering temperature data.

We shouldn’t be seeing summer-like heat in early spring, but that’s the reality we are facing from a changing climate. From worsening drought to growing pine beetle threats, we’re taking action—activating the drought task force and coordinating a statewide response to protect our forests, water, and communities. coloradosun.com/2026/03/22/10-…

#ClimateCrisis Fun Facts: Considering their substantial downtime, frequent replacement, and extremely low power density (3.1 MW), approximately 4000 wind turbines would be needed to replace one (1) nuclear reactor (1200 MW).

David for Alberta Independence
2 days ago, I explained that Albertans to sign the petition at my pop-up table included immigrants from West Africa, Thailand, Philippines, India. And haters told me I was wrong. They told me immigrants in Alberta don't want Independence, they want Ottawa's control, they aren't "conservative" they're all "liberal" etc. Yesterday, I set up a table in SW Airdrie with a friend. The VERY FIRST person to stop on the roadside and sign the petition was a man born in sub-Saharan Africa. He told us this: - He came to Canada in mid-2000's - He lived first in Quebec - He found Quebecers to be racist and resentful toward anyone who couldn't speak fluent French - He moved to Alberta in 2013 and found a great job, saved for a down-payment and now lives happily in Airdrie - He said he signed the petition because he's seen how unfair it is. Having lived in Quebec and Alberta, he has been subject to the discrimination. Quebec treated him the way Ottawa treats Alberta. "Alberta is so welcoming" he said. -- Haters will again claim I'm wrong. They'll claim this "never happened" and that I'm lying. haters gonna hate
