@IDGAF_Snowflake @ChristianHeiens Since 2014-15 to today it's something like 1.8% per capita GDP growth in Canada. It's stunning to see.

@ChristianHeiens Canadian GDP per capita hasn't grown at all in over a decade.

They’re suffering Great Depression level unemployment figures, those who do have a job are used as a tax farm by Boomers who own multi-million dollar houses they’ll never afford, and they’re being actively replaced in their own country. What did you think would happen? “Radicalization” should be expected when you declare total political war on an entire generation. It’s actually a testament to the extreme reasonableness and agreeableness of the Canadian people that they haven’t yet launched an armed revolution against the state.

@DefiantLs Zulu

What's a movie you think won't survive today?

@Gorgias483 @politicalmath @wetsprocket Russia in vaded and took 20% of Georgia in 2008, took Crimea in 2014 and basically took over Donbas in the same year.

@politicalmath @wetsprocket Crazy that Putin invading another country can change people’s minds.

It is unbelievably hilarious that Democrats went from "Russia is our super buddy, Romney is an ass, everyone should love Russia" to "Russia controls the Republican Party and must be destroyed" in just a few short years

@bookshelfbattle @Recliningdad @DrunkRepub I remember milquetoast Mitt Romney in the 2012 election being accused widely by Democrat officials as using Nazi or fascist tactics. If the Republicans dug up Samuel Gompers and ran him for president, he'd get the same treatment.

@Recliningdad @DrunkRepub Ngl they’ve been doing “the Republican president is evil and must be stopped at all costs” routine since Nixon. They just became completely unhinged when social media let them go no filter.

It will always be insane to me that Trump’s platform was just like “we should give jobs to Americans and keep criminals in jail” and the left just started foaming at the mouth and trying to kill his ass.

@Newsforce Temporary...

🇺🇸SUPREME COURT TPS CASE WATCHED BY IMMIGRANTS FROM MULTIPLE COUNTRIES A U.S. Supreme Court hearing on protections for Haitians and Syrians is drawing attention from migrants across more than a dozen nations. Hundreds of thousands could be affected, including long-time residents from El Salvador who rely on temporary status to live and work. The case will examine whether officials properly weighed conditions and potential bias when ending protections. Many families fear losing legal status, facing deportation, and being separated from relatives after decades in the United States.

@sharkofbayst @2rcrMcdoug017 @canindependent It's a tough pill to swallow.

@2rcrMcdoug017 @canindependent As to why you will never see 'GDP Per Capita' mentioned in any Media. It is the true measure of Financial state of a person.

WATCH: For Canadians wondering why fruits and vegetables are so expensive, a U.S. government hearing yesterday reveals that the Canadian federal government has been restricting bulk imports of fresh U.S. produce.

@Polymarket Perhaps the Republican Party can make this a fair fight and dust off Mitt Romney for '28.

JUST IN: Kamala Harris reaches all-time high in the odds to become the 2028 Democratic Presidential Nominee.

@troll_on_patrol @DineshDSouza One of my soldiers was from Haiti. A virtuous man at 19. From the countryside. Absolutely railed against the urban folk and gangs. He was foamy at the mouth about those who wielded control in the cities. He pretty much knew things would never change.

I know a Haitian. He’s awesome. He migrated here legally. He says is a hellhole. I lived in Florida half my life and we used to have boats from Haiti washing up on our shores all the time. It was news so it shouldn’t be hard to find. One guy chopped down his house to build a boat to sail here with. 😮

If you say Haiti is a hellhole, the Left says: “How dare you say that? Haiti is a beautiful country!” If you say Haitian illegals need to go back home, the Left says: “How dare you say that? We would be sending them back to a life of misery, hardship and death!”

@_TenMoreYears @KnightLegg Let me add to this. I absolutely love Canada and Canadians, but.. the government. It's like my friends in California. Since Trudeau in '15 the per capita GDP has almost flatlined. There has been a brain drain & immigration policies are nuts. This is per capita GDP since '15.

@KnightLegg Lets blame America for our economic incompetence since, checks notes, at least 10-15 years ago.

How to lose a trade negotiation Step 1: travel to minor, inconsequential markets for a year. Fail to reverse the decade of Liberal policies making Canada the second poorest US state after Mississippi. Step 2: play up a performative “middle power resistance” schtick and mis-cite Vaclev Havel - whose antagonism to political cynicism would hate this ‘elbows up’ embarrassment. Step 3: run out of time and strategic options while Mexico creates a bilateral alternative to CUSMA. In 1812, our generals weren’t playing with figurines their New York friends gave them and talking about previous battles to prepare the nation for an anticipated failure from their own lack of preparation and focus. Canada has a generational opportunity to create the largest and most consequential free trade zone with the largest economy in the world. This video is a national embarrassment.

@NorthrnPrspectv FFS, the Liberal Party is doubling down on 15+ years of bad economic policy.

🚨“THE INDUSTRY WILL NOT SURVIVE”🚨 That was the warning at committee this week. Manufacturers pushed back on subsidies and “diversify to Europe.” Their message: No deal with the U.S. = Industry collapse.

@CynicalPublius The formal OK of public sector unions starting in the early 60s was a big mistake.

Of the many many things that need to be done to reform our government, I believe fixing the issue of public sector unions is #2 (right behind fixing voting integrity). Public sector unions are what give the Leviathan so much of its funding and power. 1. We pay taxes. 2. The taxes pay the salaries of government employees. 3. Union dues are skimmed off those salaries. 4. The union then gives those "donations" to Democrat candidates nationally. 5. Elected Democrats ensure there are more and more government jobs with more and more pay and benefits. 6. Rinse, wash, repeat. The tyranny that exists in American today is largely due to the existence of public sector unions. We must find a way to outlaw unions in the public sector.

@J_Law86 @scrowder This is what moving past looks like. I like Canada and Canadians. The last 15 years or so has been an example of what not to do with an advanced industrialized society.

@scrowder What does this have to do with any of the points? Yes at one point Canada and U.S. had close ties. Not a big deal for him to get educated in the U.S. Far more educated than you've ever been.

Carney says the US is now a "weakness," but: -91.6% of Carney’s investments are in US companies. -He studied at Harvard (Only Canadian PM without a Canadian degree). -Half his kids currently reside in the US.

@JohnMorgan64 @BuzzPatterson It was an A-6E Intruder. His helmet saved him. Definite adrenaline surge.

@BuzzPatterson You remember the one from back in the day, think it was on an aircraft carrier, the crew member was sucked through the engine and lived?

I’m not sure what’s going on here…but don’t do it! That’s going to leave a mark. Jet engines are legit.

@CraigstaPI @infantrydort Had a Cpl who received an AAM with V device in Iraq. We were sure it would be a Bronze Star. I asked a Maj I knew in Bde what happened and he told me if he had been an NCO it would have been approved. I said he is an NCO. His reply was "Well, you know what I mean". Just crazy.

@infantrydort ARCOM with V device for an officer is wild

Wait, what?

@ShellyUrquhart @TrueBearingCA @TristinHopper True, 1.8% per capita GDP growth since 2015 is mind boggling.

@TrueBearingCA @TristinHopper Trump didn’t torch our economy.

Only Canada could hitch a ride aboard the Americans' new moon rocket and then immediately bitch about how their U.S. ties are a weakness. We're the nation-state equivalent of Jaden Smith.

@thePLUGmrP @TrueBearingCA @TristinHopper That gen Z number is 26% of those with an undergraduate degree.

@thePLUGmrP @TrueBearingCA @TristinHopper ..graduate students (master's and PHD) plans to immigrate to the USA. 26% of gen Z are considering leaving as well. A big piece of the most productive, educated and young sector of society heading to the exit is not good.

@kp_ottawa @MichaelAArouet I really love Canadians and love to visit Canada. I have watched, fascinated, years of popular real estate TV shows of house hunters in Ca. I know most of these are filmed in the Toronto area and prices are skewed upwards, but I am flabbergasted by housing costs there.

@MichaelAArouet We either work for the government or sell houses to each other.

Wow, this chart is simply unreal. Did Canada join the European Union, or did it decide to deindustrialize on its own?

@itcamefromthed @Gar389836154240 @MichaelAArouet Something like 1/3 of Canadians currently enrolled in a master's program are planning to immigrate into the USA. Also, since 2015 about 40% of Canada's top 10% of earners of wealth headed to the US. About 1 in 5 of employed Canadians work for the government. It's not sustainable.

@Gar389836154240 @MichaelAArouet 🫡 Don't forget the innovators! Young non-white Canadian tech founders are taking their chances with ICE rather than try to make it Carney's Canada.
