@MagdalenaJxxx Only humans can do this! Imagine some smart species watching us from the outer space. We might be the movie for them of those dumb people who don't know how to live peacefully and grow together as equals.

Alles nur Verschwörungstheorien ha ha

@ronmortgageguy Two year income tax return check through CRA must be done. CRA should provide API to do this for those bank who have permission from the person/entity through their CRA online account. It's very easy feature to develop. If the current yr salary is 30% more thn must be scrutinized

Brampton Is Experiencing A Mortgage Default CRISIS Crazy thing is the Government is involved in some of it Look, I get it, everyone making a Real Estate decision there was an adult who must live with consequences But let's think how Government helped the disaster unfold 2/

@ronmortgageguy Gift from family members: without the proof (birth certificate passport or notarized statement with such proof) of someone is an immediate family member, Bank must not accept it. & even proper income/balance check for the source of funds at that family members end should be done.

@ronmortgageguy Banks were getting higher interest and 20% down payment protection so they didn't care. These 'Mortgage agents' were also helping to get private loan to arrange shortfall on 20%. Some internal employees might have been involved as without it such things not possible.

@ronmortgageguy When a friend was in market for mortgage some agents advised him to go to fake route. You pay higher interest and a 'fee' to them for the 'help'. He avoided them as plague and went with someone who got lowest rate. Still the market went burst after his purchase (Due to frauds) :)

@Rssaill Wow! Look at the things science had achieved. And yet humans are fighting for religion, race and other petty things!

كنت أظن دائمًا أن التزود بالوقود في الجو أمر بسيط، لم أتوقع أنه معقد لهذه الدرجة... 😂

@Jaemyung_Lee President Pranab Mukherjee???

어제 저녁, 드라우파디 무르무 인도 대통령께서 베풀어 주신 만찬에 참석해 뜻깊은 시간을 보냈습니다. 사회적 제약과 개인적 어려움을 극복하고 공동체와 소외계층을 위해 헌신해 오신 대통령님의 삶에 깊은 감명을 받았습니다. 오늘날 인도가 보여주는 자신감 역시 대통령님의 용기와 비전에서 비롯된 것임을 느낄 수 있었습니다. 대한민국과 인도의 가능성은 무궁무진합니다. 이제 우리는 정치와 경제를 넘어, 서로의 미래를 함께 만들어가는 든든한 동반자로 나아갈 것입니다. 무르무 대통령님과 인도 국민 여러분의 따뜻한 환대에 다시 한번 깊은 감사를 전합니다. धन्यवाद!

@ANI During history we stood with humanity! Tell that to those zorastrians who had to fled the country. In this hamam called world everyone is nude.

#WATCH | Delhi: On being asked about India's role in the US-Iran conflict, Dr Abdul Majid Hakeem Ilahi, representative of Iran’s Supreme Leader in India, says, "Maybe three times or more, PM Modi had a successful conversation with our president. It was very good. Several times, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of India had very successful conversations with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iran. Our brothers and sisters in India, I cannot describe them. Whenever I remember them, I cry. They are excellent. I cannot find the word to express the value of these good people... I would like to congratulate all our brothers and sisters in India for having such beautiful people. They are extraordinary people..."

@ronmortgageguy Mena Maimone really capitalized on this—runs a Florida immigration firm and a large “Canadians Moving to Florida” FB group. Saw their ad on a news channel at a hair salon. Wild reach. Windfall gain for them!

Young People, Engineering Grads, Entrepreneurs, Skilled Trades People All Either Leaving Canada Or Planning To Leave Lots of posts, lots of DMs; all with the same message: it's too hard in Canada, too expensive & the future isn't bright It's becoming disturbing

@Mr_Chris_T @Nalera_ @PierrePoilievre I don't think it's true, but even if it is, we should still buy it from other countries. Having a strategic reserve is important. Countries that don't produce oil also maintain such reserves.

@Nalera_ @PierrePoilievre Canadians subsidize all kinds of exports for big companies.

Prime Minister, We are the only G7 country without a strategic reserve of oil. Other countries are profiting by releasing 400,000,000 barrels from their stockpiles, and we have none stored up to offer. Let’s build a Strategic Energy & Minerals Reserve to give us strength at home with unbreakable leverage abroad. Read my letter 👇

@jason1Patterson This girl hasn't read about Buddha yet!

@FlavioEvan @PierrePoilievre Debt of developed nation is always higher then the developing nation.

It's getting kind of hard to keep up with fact-checking you, Mr. Poilievre. Your latest post compares Canada to the US since Q4 2022 and at first glance it looks like a disaster. But if you actually look at the math, you’re choosing which hand the audience watches while the other one hides the truth. The 2022 Trap You picked Q4 2022 as your starting point for a very specific reason. That was exactly when the Bank of Canada slammed on the brakes with massive interest rate hikes to kill inflation. We were doing the hard work of sobering up. At that same moment, the US was doing the opposite. They were injecting $1.2 trillion in stimulus through the IRA and CHIPS Act. Comparing a country trying to pay its bills to one on a debt-fueled bender isn’t an analysis. It’s a parlor trick. The Credit Card Growth The US is "outperforming" because they are spending money they don’t have. It’s like a neighbor who buys a Ferrari on a maxed-out credit card while you’re paying off your mortgage. The US federal deficit is sitting around 6.4% of their GDP. Ours is just 1.25%. Every American is carrying about $106,000 in federal debt, while every Canadian carries about $34,000. If fiscal responsibility is the goal, we aren’t falling behind. We’re the only ones staying solvent. The "Shrinking" Sleight of Hand The post screams about a "shrinking economy," but that’s half-true math used to tell a full-scale lie. Canada’s total GDP actually grew 2.6% in Q4 2024, which was one of our strongest runs in years. The "per person" number looks lower because we added over a million people in a year. There is a natural lag between a new neighbor moving in and that neighbor getting a job and contributing to the economy. You can’t demand we cut the workforce and then complain that the workforce isn't growing the "per person" math fast enough. You’re arguing with your own calculator. The "Anti-Development" Myth You talk about removing "anti-development laws" and getting "shovels in the ground," but that work is already done. The Impact Assessment Act was rewritten in 2024 to fix the Supreme Court’s concerns. On top of that, the new Major Projects Office has been streamlining approvals with a "One Project, One Review" system for over a year. Promising to fix a regulatory system that was already overhauled in 2025 is like promising to change a tire that’s already brand new. Fighting Ghosts You’re still campaigning on "Scrapping the Tax." But here in 2026, the consumer Carbon Tax was set to zero back in April 2025. Any checks people see today are just catch-ups (retroactive payments for the 2021-2024 tax years for those who filed late). Promising to "scrap" it now isn't a plan for the future—it's an attempt to stir up anger over a policy that doesn't even exist anymore. That’s not a policy. It’s a party still fighting last year’s war. The Bottom Line Promising to rebuild a G7 economy from scratch in just twelve months is essentially political fiction. If you think you can overhaul the structural foundation of a multi-trillion dollar nation in a single year, you’re not running a government, you’re running a fantasy. Canada is playing the long game. The US is playing the "spend now, pray later" game. We aren't losing the race. We're the only ones running it without a backpack full of debt. 2025-2026 G7 Annualized GDP Growth: * 🇺🇸 USA: 2.2% (2025) / 2.1% (2026) * 🇨🇦 Canada: 1.2% (2025) / 1.5% (2026) * 🇬🇧 UK: 1.3% (2025) / 1.3% (2026) * 🇫🇷 France: 0.7% (2025) / 0.9% (2026) * 🇩🇪 Germany: 0.2% (2025) / 0.9% (2026) Sources: * IMF World Economic Outlook: G7 Deficit & Debt Projections. * Statistics Canada: Quarterly GDP Reports (Q4 2024 growth verified at 2.6% annualized). * U.S. Treasury: Monthly Treasury Statement & National Debt Clock. * Impact Assessment Agency of Canada: 2024/25 Regulatory Amendments. * Major Projects Office: National Interest

Prime Minister Carney promised Canada would be the fastest-growing economy among G7 countries, even faster than the U.S. But instead, he's delivered the only shrinking economy in the G7, and compared to our neighbours, we're falling further and further behind. Our Conservative plan to build a strong, sovereign, united Canada: ✅Remove all Liberal anti-development laws. ✅Scrap the Liberal carbon tax on fuel, steel, and fertilizer. ✅Greenlight major projects to get shovels in the ground.

@PierrePoilievre Very bad idea! First make amend with your next door neighbor then think about anyone else. First sign that agreement with the USA and if need be then do the same with others afterwards. It seems like you lost it bro or you are playing in the hands of PM Carney.

Commonwealth Day reminds us that Canada is part of a family of free nations built on shared liberties and common purpose. Let’s strengthen those ties by expanding trade, mobility, and partnership with our closest Commonwealth allies like the U.K., Australia and New Zealand in a new CANZUK agreement.

@naval Now I have started thinking that mythology characters from my culture were computers. Unless how can a person can produce another person from their drop of the blood. It's a back up based system regeneration.

A “computer” used to be a job title. Then a computer became a thing humans used. Now a computer is becoming a thing computers use.

@PierrePoilievre If instead of CAN–USA you want CANZUK, then why stop there? Why not CAN–Mars or CAN–Moon too? After all, they’re basically just neighbors of Canada. The USA is sooo far away and totally not interconnected with us at all… makes zero sense to have any deal with them!!! 🙃🚀

Strong support in the UK, Canada, New Zealand and Australia for a CANZUK deal to allow free flow of goods, services, professionals, and capital. Now is the time.

@patrickbrownont @ICC @canadiancricket So the parked cars outside of the stadium can be stolen by thieves!

One day, I hope we can have matches like this in #Brampton. @ICC is seeing incredible growth in the North American sports market. @canadiancricket is growing in popularity everyday. 🏏

Meanwhile politicians in other countries coming three hours late in public gatherings where thousands of people still cheer for them! Oh man!

@CBSNews None of those are innovators. They are just trying to immigrate to other country for more money and know how to code. Innovators find way to live in America because it has the while ecosystem there. Even Canadian innovators move to USA to take advantage of that ecosystem.

For decades, America has imported highly-skilled tech workers from around the world on H-1B visas. In 2024, over 70% of those workers came from India. But a new $100,000 fee for H-1B applicants could change that. CBS News’ Shanelle Kaul traveled to the H-1B capital of the world to report on how that policy change is already impacting the pipeline of global talent coming to the U.S.

@nicoleaube @KellyDeRidderMP @docamitay No. I am opposing your view of differentiating people based on their skin color or birth place. I totally support your stand giving harshest punishment to criminals but it has to be irrespective of their skin color or birth place.

New data from the Waterloo Regional Police Service shows human trafficking cases in our region are now nearly triple the national average. The most common age of girls being trafficked in Canada is just 13 years old. At the same time, the ongoing drug crisis continues to fuel exploitation, violence, and addiction in our communities. A large piece of the puzzle is traffickers preying on the vulnerable, the impact is being felt across Waterloo Region. Law enforcement is working tirelessly to keep our streets safe, but failed federal policies have placed unnecessary strain on the very officers we rely on. We need stronger enforcement after arrest, real consequences for traffickers and drug dealers, and meaningful supports for survivors and those seeking recovery. Our children are not commodities and our community deserves better. ctvnews.ca/kitchener/arti…
