@IBAConservative @PierrePoilievre I just hope who should watch it do.

@PierrePoilievre Great watch Pierre. We need more interviews like this where Canadians have an opportunity to see beyond MSM. You have a vision for 🇨🇦 that speaks to our long proud history of work ethic and principled nation building. Canadians need to be reminded, we don’t live on our knees. 👏

This is Valentina. We could not be more proud that she is our daughter. #WorldAutismDay

COMPLETELY DISMANTLED MEDIA QUESTIONS If you were Prime Minister, what would you do about the Straight of Hormuz Pierre answers is not what the media expected and they probably wished they didn’t ask the question

Unfuckingbelievable. LeBlanc admits he has no idea what he just spent $179M on.

@defigirlxoxo @nimmity_anna @M_Johnston1 @ncstainsby @stevenchase This is the whole thread. threadreaderapp.com/thread/2039561…

@nimmity_anna @M_Johnston1 @ncstainsby @stevenchase Margaret! You’re going to want to read this and share it with anyone who will hear it! Carney is worse than you think

This is the letter to the PM that @stevenchase reported on today. It calls on the Cdn govt to fill the gaps in its forced labour enforcement which is being assessed by the US with potential for imposing 25% tariffs on Cda. No one wants that! static1.squarespace.com/static/62ea9bb…

Two moments frozen in time… but a love that never stands still. A sisterhood that has faced so much and only grown stronger because of it. Olivia, my sweet girl, when you come, the three of you will be together again whole, unbreakable, and held in love ❤️

This is a lie. On April 1 the Carney government increased the excise tax on all alcohol by 2%. For the brewers this is a $14 million increase. Across all beverage alcohol sectors it is a $41 million increase. This is not tax relief.

@arenlea_felker @stephen_taylor @JBouryiotis I'm convinced Liberals have no morals or conscience. It's obvious how so many scandals & ethics violations were acceptable under Trudeau for so long & now with @MarkJCarney.

@stephen_taylor @JBouryiotis Corruption, sanctioned by crooked politicians and covered up by layers of incompetent public servants. Ridiculously accepted by the blind faith public.

Billions of dollars spent. Entire government offices created. None of it authorized by a single law. Here's how parliamentary motions became how Liberal governments sneak their agenda into force. stephentaylor.ca/2026/04/02/non…

Pierre Poilievre opposing the $90 billion Liberal high-speed rail project has caused quite the controversy. Likely because the Laurentian Elite who loot Canadian taxpayers stand to gain BILLIONS and they want major backlash against anyone who threatens their impending goldmine of corruption. Let's do the math they don't want you to see.... The Base Cost: According to Joe Carson's "Diagnosis Red Tape," for every dollar paid in federal taxes, 26.72% never re-enters the private economy. It's consumed by bureaucracy. That means a $90B public project carries roughly $24B in administrative overhead. True taxpayer burden: ~$114B. There are roughly 20 million taxpayers in Canada. That's ~$5,700 per taxpayer, so that 12 million people in the Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal corridor can have access to rail. EXCEPT THINGS NEVER GO ACCORDING TO PLAN Bent Flyvbjerg's database of 16,000+ megaprojects across 136 countries finds that 91.5% go over budget, over schedule, or both. The mean cost overrun is 62%. Rail projects specifically (according to Liberal friends McKinsey & Company) go over budget by an average of 44.7%, and their demand is overestimated by 51.4%. Applied to Alto: $114B × 1.447 = ~$165B. That's ~$8,250 per taxpayer. Meanwhile, the Liberals' projected $35B yearly GDP increase? If demand is overestimated by half, that's closer to $17B. Now, consider the recent Eglinton subway line in Toronto. The Eglinton Crosstown LRT was originally projected at ~$5B. Final cost: $13B and it took 15 years. The Eglinton Crosstown is 19km long. Alto is ~1,000km. That's 53× longer. The Eglinton Crosstown cost $684M per kilometre. If Alto hit a similar per-km cost, you'd be looking at $684B. That's obviously absurd but the point stands: Canada just proved it cannot build 19km of light rail on time or on budget. The answer is to build 1,000km of high-speed rail? The Eglinton's cost multiplied by 2.6×. Apply that same factor to Alto: $114B × 2.6 = ~$296B. That's ~$14,800 per taxpayer. But it gets EVEN WORSE. Now add corruption... The Charbonneau Commission established that mafia-linked cartels inflated Montreal public contract prices by up to 30%. A whistleblower told the Globe and Mail in 2009 that the Mafia controlled roughly 80% of road contracts, with prices inflated up to 35%. Then there's the "Green Slush Fund" scandal: the Auditor General found 186 conflicts of interest at SDTC, with an estimated $150-390M in misappropriated funds. That's roughly 17-45% of the fund's total approvals funnelled to insiders. Applied to Alto's $90B base: $15-40B in corruption. Applied to the Eglinton-style $296B scenario: $50-133B in corruption. Let's summarize, shall we? Best case (on budget, on time... which never happens): ~$114B total. ~$5,700 per taxpayer. Realistic case (Flyvbjerg's average rail overrun): ~$165B total. ~$8,250 per taxpayer. With half the promised GDP benefit. Eglinton case (2.6× cost escalation): ~$296B total. ~$14,800 per taxpayer. With corruption layered on top: $15-133B more (depending on the scenario) vanishing into the pockets of the politically connected. Also, don't forget: VIA Rail, the organization that would operate this system, currently can't run its existing trains on time. And that, my friends, is how you market corruption and economic insanity as "infrastructure investment."

@cbcwatcher They also recently got caught reporting something false re this Senator.

CBC's reporting is now just intentionally false and misleading Raffy Boudjiknian asked Pierre Poilievre a question in the scrum today... and later in his CBC explainer instead of showing viewers Poilievre's answer, he said "Now, he said the first thing he would do is get rid of liberal policies on gas taxes." That's not even close to what Poilievre said. Watch. What he said is he would "unblock our own energy." "I would eliminate liberal laws like C-69 that keep oil in the ground." "I would remove the shipping ban off the northwest coast of BC" "I'd end the liberal industrial carbon tax." "I would move to six month permitting." "And I would make my goal would be to massively increase production and shipping of Canadian oil and gas." "I'd also bring in an energy and minerals reserve so that when these kinds of crises strike, Canadians can sell our oil on the world market to reduce prices for consumers at the same time as we profit from the high prices that foreign economies are paying." Raffy has a serious problem with being truthful. This isn't the first time CBC advertises itself as the protector FROM misinformation when it is one of the biggest speaders OF misinformation @CBCraffy @brodiefenlon @PierrePoilievre

Condescending Liberal troll, masquerading as a Liberal Cabinet Minister, argues with a farmer about what his expenses are.

'Canada doesn't have a factory problem. It has a systems problem': @jen_keesmaat explains that factories aren't running near capacity because zoning, approvals, and financing haven't caught up. Until they do, modular construction can't scale. And neither can our housing supply.

@isletcell127 @CherylR09307747 He also shrugged off Pierre's warnings re inflation. Pierre was right.

@CherylR09307747 Everyone was praising Carney as Governor Bank of 🇨🇦 As the savor of 🇨🇦 s finances in 2008 That was because of Minister of Finance Jim Flattery Responsibilities of Governor bankofcanada.ca/2025/02/how-is…

Bank of Canada Governor, Bay Street executives join Finance Minister for China meetings. Why would MacKlem be directly involved in trade meetings??? Brookfield, Power Corp, Scott Brison BMO reps as well theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…

Isn't he supposed to be neutral? This doesn't pass the smell test.

@liberal_party @MarjoriePLC @TerryDuguid @Sachitmehra What are you trying to hide?? x.com/JayGenXer/stat…

Meet your co-chairs for our 2026 Liberal National Convention! MPs @MarjoriePLC and @TerryDuguid, and LPC President @SachitMehra can’t wait to welcome over 3,500 Liberals from across Canada in Montréal next weekend. Join us: 2026.liberal.ca/register.

@TroyNel01660232 Thanks-that's even worse than I thought!

@Orkidnut According to Elections Canada, the 2021 federal election cost an estimated $630 million.

So, remember when the Liberals decided to pull the trigger on a federal election right in the thick of the pandemic? It was a total power move to try and snag a majority, but guess what? The needle barely moved. They ended up with pretty much the same seat count they started with. The kicker? That little political gamble cost us taxpayers almost $600 million. Talk about a massive bill for zero change.

@desireefixler I'm guessing Carney doesn't want to lose @s_guilbeault or any other climate nut.

A strong Canada is a drilling Canada — not a photo-op.

@northwoman1407 @TalbotLionel2 That's interesting-would include me!

@Orkidnut @TalbotLionel2 Something else interesting. Studies show that people who come from a traumatic childhood were less likely to fall for the vaxx scam, or the Carney Con...

I wrote a piece yesterday (in French) addressing the reasons that motivated Carney to become Prime Minister of Canada. They were mostly personal (Brookfield). This was one of the comments I received: “I don’t care why, but just the fact that he stands up to Trump and that this orange madman is angry with Carney, I’m satisfied.” Unfortunately, this is how the majority of Canadians feel. If Trump was the evil person the media depicted him to be, how did he win a convincing majority even though 90% of media coverage on him was negative while 85% on Kamala was positive? Don’t give me the “Americans are stupid” bullshit. Libtards still haven’t figured this out, proof that TDS actually exists. People need to stop blaming Trump. The day Canadians realize Trump isn’t the villain he’s portrayed as will mark the beginning of the end for Carney and the Liberals. Canada’s emotional rage toward Trump and his allies isn’t good for the country, but it has benefited the Liberal Party. The Liberals knew they couldn’t campaign on a decade of failures, corruption, and economic decline. With the help of subsidized media, they focused instead on Trump and his team. The country is plunging into recession, but that doesn’t matter. Canadians would follow Carney off a cliff if they thought it would give Trump the finger. The Liberals have made hatred of Donald Trump their entire personality. Canadians are easily manipulated and haven’t yet woken up to reality. If they devoted even a fraction of their rage against Trump to demanding competence from their own government, this country would be in far better shape. I’m most concerned about the bill that future generations—my children and grandchildren—will have to pay for the legacy we boomers are leaving them.

@northwoman1407 @TalbotLionel2 This explains it.

Canadians are following Carney off a cliff.... I'm stunned at how gullible voters are!🤯 Why didn't people get it when Trudeau Govt prolonged HOC for months due to a Liberal CRISIS...to avoid a Non Confidence so they could get Carney installed. Then the joke the Liberal Leadership was with any candidate who challenged Carney being tossed aside... And if voters didn't get it then...how are people so gullible to keep falling for 'Orange Man Bad'... It's Carney who is destroying the country... What the hell is wrong with everybody...that they can't see something that obvious....🤦‍♀️
