@stats_feed It is absolutely absurd that the most destructive political ideology in history (communism) is not even listed. For goodness sake, get a grip.

Which is the worst kind of ‘ism’?

@Tablesalt13 We once had white friends who lived in Brampton, but they left many years ago because they couldn't believe how it was changing, with crime also starting to spike. Funny thing is, they are committed Liberals who hate Donald Trump. People like this are why Canada is doomed.

New: Brampton, Canada which has the highest foreign born population in the Western world at 59.1% - now has the highest insurance rates in Canada - mortgage delinquencies up 10x in 6 years -a car accident rate 5x the national average -Fire deaths 3x higher per capita

@NorthrnPrspectv China will eat us alive. I wonder who else said that?

🚨CHINA ISSUES ULTIMATUM🚨 First, Carney pulls MPs out of Taiwan. Now China is warning Canada not to go back - and not to send ships either. Carney told Canadians he was dealing with China because the U.S. was "unreliable". So much for a “strategic partnership.”

@cj_chep @AGMacDougall @scoopercooper @TorontoStar My brother (who lives in the UK) laughed out loud when I said Mark Carney was the new PM. In the UK he's still known as Carnage Carney for the wreckage he wrought on their economy. "Why on earth would you vote in a second rate loser like that?" Call Guinness. I still don't know.

Desiree Fixler knew and she warned Canadians Liz Trust knew and she warned Canadians Pierre Pollievre knew and he warned Canadians Jordan Peterson knew and he warned Canadians Jim Balsillie, the retired co-founder and co-CEO of Research in Motion (RIM), which created the BlackBerry - knew and he warned Canadians. I knew - many of us knew which is why we voted Conservative!

Who knew Mark Carney, the galaxy brained saviour of Canada, would turn out to be continuity Trudeau? My column for the @torontostar on the same on tax and spend Liberals 👇🏻 thestar.com/carney-fiddles…

@EricRStPierre It's also astounding to me that the price of gasoline today in Saudi Arabia is 62¢ USD per litre or around 84¢ per litre in Canadian funds. Near me today it's $1.90.

@Ontarianram Luna says thanks for the shoutout, she’s the real star of that walk! Spot on. We’re sitting on more oil than half the Middle East combined yet paying premium prices. Time we stopped acting like an energy-poor nation and built the infrastructure to match our resources.

I was taking Luna out for a walk today with my wife. A friendly woman with her dog joined us for a bit. She was super chatty, gave Luna a delicious treat, and her big fluffy dog got one too. She was especially fired up about the price of gas. She seemed pretty savvy, sharing all the tips she uses to save at the pump, and she kept saying how brutal it is for regular folks now that it’s climbing toward $1.90 a litre. I told her I was surprised we haven’t hit $2.00 yet, like they’ve already seen in B.C. She looked absolutely stunned. And you know what? Millions of Canadians are going to wear that exact same stunned look when gas really starts marching north of $2.00 a litre — because it’s coming, folks. It’s coming hard. Millions of us are already tapped out and broke. We’re the ones staring at the pump in disbelief, doing the mental math on whether we can afford to drive to work, pick up the kids from hockey, or even run to the grocery store without wincing. And while we’re scraping by, Canada, this massive, resource-rich beast of a country, could be an absolute economic powerhouse. We could be the energy capital of the world. We could be creating wealth, lowering prices for every family from coast to coast, creating hundreds of thousands of high-paying jobs, and telling the world “come and get it” on our terms. If the Liberals had just positioned us properly. Instead? They sold us out to ideology and handed the Americans the keys to our own wallet. Think about it. Canada sits on the third-largest proven oil reserves on the planet, the oil sands alone are an absolute monster. We’ve got natural gas for days, hydro power that could light up half the continent, and the geography to be the energy bridge between North America, Asia, and Europe. Done right, we could be exporting clean, reliable Canadian energy to the world at full price. No more selling our raw bitumen at a massive discount to the Americans while they refine it and sell the finished product back to us at a premium. No more begging for pipeline capacity. No more watching our own oil get bottlenecked and discounted because Ottawa spent years demonizing the very industry that could have made us rich. We could have had pipelines running east, west, and south, Energy East, Northern Gateway, a properly fast-tracked Trans Mountain that didn’t balloon into a multi-billion-dollar clown show. We could have had west-coast ports shipping our product straight to hungry markets in Asia instead of forcing 97% of our crude down a single leaky pipeline into the U.S. market where they set the terms. We could have built refineries here at home so Canadian families aren’t getting gouged at the pump while American refiners laugh all the way to the bank. But no. The Liberals, with their virtue-signaling, their endless environmental reviews, their Bill C-69 that basically made it illegal to build anything bigger than a lemonade stand, and their carbon tax that punishes every driver, trucker, farmer, and senior just trying to heat their home, chose ideology over infrastructure. They killed project after project. They delayed, they regulated, they virtue-posted on social media while the rest of us watched our lifeblood get siphoned off. And now? The Americans have us by the throat. They control the pipelines. They control the refining capacity. They buy our heavy crude cheap because we have nowhere else to send it, then sell us back gasoline and diesel at whatever price the market (and their profit margins) will bear. Every time global tensions spike or a refinery hiccup happens south of the border, we feel it immediately at the pump, while our own vast reserves sit there like a trapped gold mine we’re not allowed to fully develop. This isn’t bad luck. This is policy failure on a national scale. This is why your wife is cutting back on groceries. This is why the single mom down the street is choosing between gas money and rent. This is why truckers are idling their rigs because the numbers don’t add up anymore. This is why small businesses in every province are closing their doors. Energy is the foundation of everything, heating, transportation, manufacturing, food production. When you let ideologues strangle that foundation, the entire economy starts to crumble. And the worst part? The Liberals had the chance, hell, they still have the chance under Carney, to flip this script. To say “Canada first,” to fast-track the infrastructure, to partner with industry and Indigenous communities the right way, and to turn our energy advantage into real sovereignty and real prosperity. We could be the envy of the world instead of the cautionary tale. We could have 85 cent gas and a booming economy funding better healthcare, better roads, and actual climate innovation that doesn’t bankrupt families. But they chose the opposite. They chose the photo-ops, the international applause, the net-zero fairy tales while real Canadians get hammered at the pump and in the wallet. So the next time you’re standing at that gas station watching the numbers climb, remember this: it didn’t have to be this way. Canada didn’t have to be held hostage by American leverage. We could have been the energy powerhouse of the planet, rich, independent, and thriving. Instead we got weak leadership, neglected infrastructure, and a government that would rather lecture you about your carbon footprint than secure your future. Wake up, Canada. It’s time to demand better. Because at $2.00 a litre and rising, we’re not just paying at the pump anymore, we’re paying for decades of Liberal failure. And Luna and I are tired of watching good, hardworking people get stunned into silence while the country we love gets sold short. What do you think, am I wrong? Or is this the conversation we all need to be having before it’s too late?

In the last few days, an astounding thing has happened in the Canadian media: they are starting to tell the truth about the desperate and moribund state of Canada's economy. Even servile and egregious publications like the Globe and Mail are starting to acknowledge Canada's dire economic situation and the Liberal Party's dominant role in the rapid decline. So what's going on here? Are the bought-and-paid-for Canadian media suddenly having a Henry James type of epiphany? Are they actually starting to develop (gulp) a conscience about their significant role in destroying the livelihoods of ordinary Canadians and the future of upcoming generations? The answer of course is no, not even close and this is probably not happening for the reasons you think. Some pundits have speculated, with some justification, that stories like the ones linked below are only now being published because Mark Carney has finally secured (by means both fair and foul) his long dreamed-of majority. There is some truth in that to be sure, but there is more going on here than just petty politicking. Others have wondered if this is Mark Carney's way of pretending that he is somehow different from the disastrous legacy of Justin Trudeau, the man he advised from the shadows for so many years as Canada fell into the economic abyss. Again, there is some truth to this statement, but it still doesn't really get to the heart of the matter. The truth is the establishment in Ottawa, and by that I mean the Laurentian elites, intelligence services and business cabals that actually run the country, have finally come to recognize that the virtue-signalling era is over. They are now painfully aware that Canada's security, social services, economic well-being and prosperity, not to mention any international significance they ever had in the last few decades, has been completely dependent on American largesse and goodwill. Now that has seemingly evaporated, behind the scenes the establishment is both on a war footing and in full survival mode and without publicly acknowledging it, they know what needs to be done next. Canada has to build many more pipelines, refineries, an actual defense industry, a manufacturing sector and an independent and self-sufficient agricultural industry. Worse, they have to do all this while somehow mollifying the lunatic fringes of their own party and society, such as the radical environmentalists, the government funded and artificially grown native activist groups (who represent no real native group) and those indoctrinated imbeciles who still think that social justice causes such as mass migration and sexual deviancy are the most important things for Canadians to be force-fed into accepting. It's going to be a Herculean task, made worse by the fact that those undertaking it are some of the most venal, scletoric and unintelligent people you could possibly imagine, but if Canada is to survive in any recognizable form as a developed society and independent country, it has to be done. In simple terms, it's going to have to involve acknowledging the many, many mistakes of the past while trying to pretend that you're still keeping the most important elements of a radical socialist agenda, and yet at the same time systematically doing the exact opposite. It's going to be fun to watch, especially to see the intellectual and existential knots many Canadians will have to tie themselves into to pretend it's not their fault for electing arguably the most incompetent government in Canadian history 4 times in a row, but good luck to them I say. I'm just glad I won't be living here to see it. youtube.com/watch?v=qxfzxF… archive.is/inFdh fraserinstitute.org/commentary/und…

The truly amazing thing to me is the utter lack of self-awareness of so many Canadians. They honestly don't see how the country is devolving into a third world shithole and on the rare occasions they take their heads out of the sand long enough to briefly 'think', they blame Trump. It's as if they are utterly determined to hold on to the delusion that Canada is still a significant country for as long as possible, no matter what the cost, not a place that is now below Nigeria and Egypt in GDP by PPP. worldeconomics.com/Indicator-Data…

Canada is the most toxic, soul crushing conformist society I have ever experienced. It’s actually frightening.

@junonewscom Good luck finding them. My daughter is finishing off her red seals in welding and fabrication and then heading to Texas, where they pay real wages, pay much less taxes and the properties are dirt cheap. She can't wait to leave.

PM Carney states: "To build those ports, bridges, the mines, data centres... we need welders, crane operators, electricians, [and] builders like you." "By 2033... we will need more than 1.4 million additional trade workers to build more homes..."

@globeandmail Birds of a feather...

Opinion: Europe is flailing, so why would Canada hitch its wagon to the EU? theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…

@whatpplcallme @JamesDueck theccf.ca/emergencies-ac… and theccf.ca/federal-court-… Not my feelings, two court decisions.

@Ontarianram @JamesDueck Public health > your feelings

95% of the people who are talking about leaving Canada would stop if the government simply made a reasonable effort to take its boot off our necks.

@DegenApeDev No. Canada is a first world country with a second world economy and a third world government. To put it another way, we have California prices with Mississippi wages.

Do you think Canada is a 3rd world country?

@acoyne Interesting how the mainstream media is only now publishing these sorts of articles after Carney has secured his majority by subterfuge.

My latest, on the economic update: Canada’s New Government is looking a lot like Canada's Old Government theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…

@liam_out_loud Of course. Who were the people who purged 'undesirable elements' by the millions from the Soviet Union, China, Cambodia and so on? Students. Who led them? Individuals like Lenin, Pol Pot, Mao, Castro etc who were all spawned (or excreted perhaps) from academe.

Leftist-dominated universities are producing sophisticated barbarians. Higher levels of education made people roughly 2x as likely to justify political violence compared to those without. A Harvard poll found nearly 40% of respondents said political violence can be acceptable.

@liam_out_loud If someone like Glenn Beck is picking up on your points, go with it! His reach is enormous and the truth about the degraded and rapidly declining state of Canadian democracy (not to mention the economy) needs to be shouted from the mountaintops. Keep up the good work!

Glenn Beck’s now-viral rant on Canadian democracy is a near beat-for-beat remake of mine from last week. Same examples in the same order. I’m not upset because no one owns information. If anything, it’s a strange kind of validation. The message is spreading further than I thought.

@fourthjames83 @AdamBogle5 @glennbeck No mate, it's just that I do have other things to do with my time. smry.ai/nationalpost.c…

@Ontarianram @AdamBogle5 @glennbeck Again, you have no evidence of anything you're claiming. "Optics" don't revolve around your biased and unsubstantiated opinions.

Canada is not a democracy. It's not even a free nation anymore. How could it be when Parliament is sidelined for eight months, allowing the executive branch to reign unchecked? Or when foreign interference is ignored and elections are gamed? Or when courts rule that the government broke the law and nothing changes? Or when the state controls your speech, your property, your energy, your news, your guns, your healthcare—and offers you assisted suicide when the wait times get too long? Canada has become something else: a managed oligarchy with democratic trappings, where the individual exists to serve the state. Look how far Canada has fallen. Because this could be America's future overnight.

@AdamBogle5 @fourthjames83 @glennbeck You could start here: smry.ai/nationalpost.c…

@Ontarianram @fourthjames83 @glennbeck Do you have evidence he paid the defectors? because that would be a legitimate scandal. The opposition force the Liberals hand. JT was going to lose, so he stepped down and they brought someone in that could win.

@AdamBogle5 @fourthjames83 @glennbeck I understand your point of view, but perhaps you can also recognize that the optics of a sleazy and corrupt leadership campaign, not to mention a majority government purchased by bribery and corruption, are not exactly desirable in a country that purports to be a democracy?

@Ontarianram @fourthjames83 @glennbeck It's just perplexing that this is the thing you're sticking on. His leadership campaign. He legitimately won the election, fellow Liberals aren't complaining. He's actually increased the size of the tent by getting MPs from other parties.
