ANTI-GUN REGIME COLLAPSE Before - Many gun users said: "Canada has pretty good gun laws." (False, but that's what they'd say.) - Others disliked the anti-gun regime, but complied. Today - Open hostility - Mass non-compliance Why - Liberal+RCMP anti-gun extremists went too far.

🚨 $25,000 PER GUN?! ​The true cost of Canada’s firearm buyback program has finally been exposed by Daniel Fritter at @Calibremag and the numbers are staggering. ​While the government offers gun owners roughly $1,800 per firearm, taxpayers are actually on the hook for up to $25,000 per gun when you factor in the massive bureaucratic machine behind it. ​According to Fritter's reporting, over 90% of the $800 million+ budget is being swallowed by administrative costs. This isn't just a policy failure—it’s a billion-dollar disaster funded by you. ​Watch the full breakdown on Political Orphans here: 👉 youtu.be/IpLxW3FRuJE

THE OFFICIAL RECORD
THE OFFICIAL RECORD@SatireSquadHQ·
Many Canadian Voters ask: “How can anyone vote for a Government that keeps destroying the country?” “What world are they living in?” Well…. Millions of public sector employees sit inside guaranteed, inflation indexed, taxpayer backed pension systems averaging roughly $600,000+ per member. Private sector Canadians? Around $120,000 in retirement savings. Market risk. No guarantees. What happens when the safest way to become wealthy is to work for the government? What happens when millions of voters depend on state-guaranteed income, inflation-indexed pensions, and political decisions that protect those benefits? History has an answer. When the state becomes the largest employer, the largest asset manager, and the guarantor of elite retirement wealth, you don’t have free market capitalism anymore. You have a political class. And political classes protect themselves. That is how countries slide toward soft authoritarianism. Not with soldiers in the streets. With incentives. When a protected government class votes to expand government power because their wealth depends on it, the system stops serving citizens and starts serving itself. That is not capitalism. That is not healthy democracy. That is how state-centric systems evolve. And once that structure is entrenched, it does not shrink peacefully. The real question is not whether Canada is communist. The real question is this: At what point does a democracy become a self-preserving state machine?

I was struggling with sleep and I bought a whoop strap a couple years ago and every time I had a single drink my recovery based on my heart rate variability would crash I basically stopped drinking because I could visually see the damage it was causing and ruining what little time I had off. Now I might drink once every 3-6 months

Today, I reached my goal of 30 days without a single drink. Thank you to everyone who sent supportive comments about it. Better sleep & thinking about it less & less each week. Relaxing w/ prayer instead of w/ a glass. A really good feeling. ☑️ 10/10 recommend.

Might as well just keep our ancient f-18 for an another 50 years, buying old tech is suicidal which the gripens are. We might not like trumps tone but we really won’t like it when our entire Airforce is eliminated in the first 24 hours of a major conflict because they don’t have stealth tech.

This is video explains why the Gripen is a better choice compared to the F35. Unlike the American F-35, Sweden would never withhold critical software updates or spare parts for their Gripens as punishment if your country’s leader were to inadvertently say something they disagreed with because Canada would own the intellectual property and the parts. I’m an airplane junkie and have been one all my life. I am in no way directly or indirectly connected to Saab or the government or military (which has a weird fascination with US control.) The Gripen is a better deal financially - it’s less problematic and far easier to operate and maintain. Cost: We can get three Canadian-built (Halifax) Gripen fighters for the price of one F-35. That represents massive savings! The hourly flight cost of the F-35 is $36,000 USD ($50,500 CAD). The hourly flight cost of the Gripen is just $7,000 USD ($9,800 CAD). With its smaller ground crew requirement and significantly lower cost per unit, the Gripen E is a compelling alternative - perfectly suited for defending Canada’s vast northern frontier. With the Gripen, Canada would own the intellectual property and technology outright, with no concerns about kill switches or throttled performance. It allows us to spend less on procurement while investing more in our own aerospace industry.) Canada has multiple helicopter platforms and we can do the same with jets. I’m confident Prime Minister Mark Carney will make the right choice - because we are Canada Strong! 🇨🇦

So it's been 3 weeks of me cutting out wine & it's been completely doable. No stumbling. I think about it occasionally but it's more like "ok, I would enjoy one. But I'm just as fine not having it." Regardless of that, can those who pray, pray to encourage me to keep going?♥️

Pierre Poilievre blew a spectacular lead, lost his seat, and the CPC lost the election. If an election were held today, the CPC would likely lose again. Is it time for Poilievre to step aside, or should he stay on as leader?

I manage my own account, which is why I get pissed off from time to time. I have broad shoulders, but the constant trolling does get to me. I'd appreciate a high five.

Ever notice how the media throws around “hard-right” and “far-right” every time they disagree… but search “far-left” and it’s crickets? Meanwhile, we’ve got: • UNDRIP overriding property rights • Central-planned economy • C-11/C-18/Online Harms censorship • Parental rights undermined in schools • MAID for mental illness + poverty • Border amnesty + mass asylum • DEI institutional takeover • Unelected bureaucracy expanding • Dissent labelled “extremist” • Net-zero social engineering If that isn’t far-left, what is? Time to start calling it what it is. Let’s make this go viral.

I’m a veteran, I lost 5 friends overseas if they told me I couldn’t wear a poppy at work I would tell my boss to kick rocks and If they fired me for it I would live with the consequences of it. The poppy is the one canadian symbol even the bloc agree on wearing. Every aspect of society is impacted when a war happens. I’m disappointed in Canada and my fallen friends would be too.

Unpopular opinion: this is in fact political Same way we shouldn't allow visible religious signs, LGBTQ flags etc
Tim Houston@TimHoustonNS

It has come to my attention that earlier this week there was an order issued prohibiting individuals working in certain court facilities from wearing poppies while on duty in those locations. This order was issued under the guise that the poppy is somehow a ‘political statement.’ This is disgusting. The poppy is not a political statement. It is a symbol of remembrance and respect for the fallen and those who served and continue to serve our country. Poppies have been worn in Canada since 1921. We have courts and a democracy because of the courage of those who are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice in pursuit of, and in defence of, the very rights and freedoms we enjoy. The judges who issued this order are wrong. While I respect the independence of the judiciary, I respect veterans, the very people who made the ultimate sacrifice defending our country, our values and our democracy, more. It is not lost on me that our veterans fought so we can enjoy the freedoms the courts uphold. That’s why I find it impossible to believe any judge would ban a symbol of respect for the fallen, our veterans and their families. I stand firmly behind anyone who wants to wear a poppy in their workplace. Because of the actions of these judges, if necessary, I will introduce The Nova Scotia Remembrance Observance Act that will enshrine the right to wear a poppy in the workplace from November 1 to November 11.
