The world doesn’t run on ideals, folks. If it did, the green grift would actually work and Canada would be running 100% on wind power right now. Reality doesn’t care about your slogans. It cares about physics, economics, and keeping the lights on. The Right needs to wake up and smell the same coffee. Stop chasing pretty ideals that don’t match the real world. Get back to basics: Make life affordable again Build a country where people born here can actually afford to live here Stop selling out to your corporate donors (you know exactly who you are) Principles are great until they become fantasies that screw over working families.

Is Senator Charles Adler openly mocking the Senate’s own Ethics Code? Straight from the Ethics and Conflict of Interest Code for Senators: 7.1 (1) A Senator’s conduct shall uphold the highest standards of dignity inherent to the position of senator. 7.1 (2) A Senator shall refrain from acting in a way that could reflect adversely on the position of senator or the institution of the Senate. 7.2 A senator shall perform his or her parliamentary functions with dignity, honour and integrity. This is the same code they used to hammer Senator Beyak in 2019, saying senators are held to a much higher standard than regular citizens. Yet this Liberal appointee calls the Leader of the Opposition a “desperate loser,” “worst bull****er on the planet,” accuses him of sadism, and labels Conservative voters “imbeciles dumber than a bag of Fritos.” Is Senator Adler behavior dignified? Are Senator Adler tweets honourable? Is Senator Adler behaviour becoming of a Senator? Should Senator Charles Adler resign? Full Code here: seo-cse.sencanada.ca/en/code/ethics…

Charles Adler is free to criticize Pierre Poilievre’s policies, arguments and leadership. He is not free from the standards attached to the Senate seat he accepted. Calling the Leader of the Opposition a “desperate loser” and “the worst bullshitter on the planet” is not serious political debate. It is vulgar partisan trolling from a taxpayer-funded senator. The Senate’s ethics code requires senators to uphold the highest standards of dignity and avoid conduct that damages the institution. Those rules must apply equally, whether the senator is attacking a Liberal, Conservative or anyone else. The Ethics Officer may be legally required to keep any preliminary review confidential. Fair enough. But the Senate cannot preach civility, dignity and institutional respect while ignoring this behaviour because the target happens to be Pierre Poilievre.

According to the Fraser Institute: Ottawa gave Ontario $19 billion in equalization over 10 years while BC got nothing, despite having lower GDP per person the whole time. The study found discrepancies in all but 3 of the 44 years from 1981 to 2024. In 15 of the last 25 years, provinces with higher GDP per person received payments while provinces with lower GDP per person got nothing. The formula has ongoing structural problems. Do you think it is time to scrap equalization completely?

A big free speech win for Canadians. Engineering student and community volunteer Pierre Roy spoke out about a proposed Mississauga redevelopment, attended public meetings, contacted city officials, and raised concerns about planning and construction issues. The developer responded by suing him for $300,000. The Ontario Court of Appeal upheld the dismissal of the lawsuit, calling it a "quintessential gag suit aimed at curtailing public expression." Canadians should be free to participate in local debates without fear of strategic lawsuits. Democracy is strongest when citizens get involved in their communities. thestar.com/business/opini…

Michelle Ferreri -@mferreriptbokaw makes a strong argument. She says the past 11 years under the Liberals have been an avalanche of decline. Canadians are now spending over half their income on basic necessities. Food bank usage is the highest in history. GDP has sharply declined. Over 40 percent of Canadian manufacturers responsible for nearly two million jobs are considering leaving the country. She highlights Mark Carney’s 3.2 billion dollar condo bailout for developers who donated to him and have ties to his old Brookfield company. Liberals shut down debate on this in the ethics committee. Ferreri calls it blatant corruption and gaslighting by those in power. Full piece here on her Substack: michelleferreri.substack.com/p/do-most-cana… Do you agree? Do you not care about Canadian corruption in politics?

I'm about to release the conclusion of 2½ years of work. I've travelled across British Columbia four different times, documenting what I saw and gathering interviews, documents, and information. This investigation focuses on three major issues: healthcare as it relates to addiction, SOGI, and immigration. This short gives you a glimpse of what I believe is the heartbeat of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside—a building where more than 60 nonprofit organizations are connected under one roof. This is just the beginning. The full investigation is coming soon.

Agreeing yet again with Anthony. So what should the strategy be? Play the long game. Make the government’s record the issue. If it delivers, acknowledge it, because that’s good for the country. If it fails, hold it accountable and offer Canadians a serious, credible, and viable alternative as a government-in-waiting. Opposition is not about hoping the country fails. It’s about proving you’re better prepared to govern if it does. And always remember: Mother Teresa isn’t on the ballot. Voters aren’t looking for perfection. They’re looking for competence, judgment, and a government worthy of their trust.
Anthony Koch@Anthony__Koch

This is the biggest issue Conservatives face right now. For many Canadian voters this is how they’ll behave: 1. Carney gets good deals with America? They’ll call him a genius negotiator. 2. He gets a bad deal or no deal? They’ll blame Trump. No wins.

@Fromehtozed How so? Would you have left the bridge closed? At least it’s opening, Harper understood we needed the new bridge but it also left us vulnerable to a shakedown given we were assuming all the risks.

Reminder of how we got here on the Howe Bridge. Opposition from special interests in Michigan meant Harper agreed in 2012 to fund the project or it wouldnt get built. Always relied on US honouring the deal, Trump didn’t, he had leverage, here we are. windsorstar.com/news/local-new…

Liberals are made they have to fix up the Opposition house? Spare me. These ballooning renovation costs are exactly what their red tape, taxes, and economic destruction have done to construction across Canada. Same mess hitting every family trying to build or repair anything. They created this expensive nightmare, you don't get to whine about it because you now have to pay for it.

Canada paid 100% of the $6.4 billion Gordie Howe Bridge. Trump pushed back. Now under Mark Carney: 50% of the net toll profits get diverted to a U.S. controlled fund for the next 15 years. Master negotiator? Or just another giveaway? You decide.
