Groceries inflation for June, 2026. Canada: 3.9% US: 2.7%

They are the hope and future of Canada. All they need is a chance to succeed with the same opportunity that generations before them had. Join us to make this a country that is worthy of them: conservative.ca/cpc/united-for…

“PMO needs now to figure out whether it's better to admit the PM lied to Canadians or that he's not the world-class economist he's been made up to be by Carney-barkers in #cdnmedia” @nspector4

Canada has everything we need to be the richest country on earth. Let's build it: conservative.ca/cpc/support-th…

Says the guy who literally and consistently claimed that the previous PMs measures were not aggressive enough.

@jec79 Because @MarkJCarney tells a different story each time. And because this supports @BNNBloomberg reporting and they have the document. Why do you doubt @BNNBloomberg ?

@RickPerkinsCPC Why do you take anything these guys say at face value rather than believing Canadian officials, Rick?

Capitulation Carney details: for those that don’t know what net revenue means this deal sees the US get to split what’s left after the operating costs such as bridge maintenance, staff etc are deducted but BEFORE debt is paid. Loans, bonds and interest are paid out of net revenue. So the US gets half net revenue and Canada has to pay the debt costs of building the bridge out of its half. US gets pure profit with no responsibility to pay to cost of building the bridge. Canada gets little net profit since it has to pay the billions to build the bridge out of our half. Total @MarkJCarney Trump capitulation.

Lock arms together. For a stronger Alberta and a united Canada: conservative.ca/cpc/a-stronger…

@glen_mcgregor It’s called lying.

Not a good day for PMMC when Bloomberg reporting uses the phrase “contradicting earlier public remarks from Prime Minister Mark Carney.” This has been a comms fiasco.

Carney lied Will legacy media cover for him … again?

The Supreme Court ruled “The paramount regulatory objective is conservation and responsibility for it is placed squarely on the minister responsible and not on the aboriginal or non‑aboriginal users of the resource.” pressreader.com/article/282359…

An agreement “in principle” is no substitute for accountability. Show us the deal!

If Mark Carney’s latest concession to Donald Trump is so minor and his backtracking on Stephen Harper’s original deal is so good for Canada, he owes it to Canadians to show his work.

@Margare7a Either way it is bad in terms of does or does he not have principles. I think it can only be explained as Brookfield green grift.

I was a Liberal and I worked in energy policy. 🥲 I stayed away from his leadership campaign because I had "read" his book Values (rather my hyper-partisan ex insisted on playing the audiobook on a roadtrip) and I had many friends on his leadership campaign insisting he would be Big Climate Man to the bitter end. Knew it wasn't for me and there went any hope I had of Liberal renewal in the direction I actually had hoped for for years. And then I saw him hit the general election with what looked like a 180 degree reversal on oil & gas. I don't like extremist fear-mongering and economic illiteracy. I like hypocrisy less. And I like suspiciously well-timed, self-interested flip flops that don't really hold up to scrutiny even less. So I sat out the election and voted Conservative. Having been significantly involved with national party politics for years, including running the Young Liberals in BC, that meant dodging every phone call I got for two months. I decided to make that move official not long after. Now I write columns taking the potshots I think need to be taken at Carney's hypocrisy. Either Carney never believed in climate change being an existential threat that must be fought by destroying the prosperity of the developed world, but still made it his whole career. Or he does still believe that and he is just going through the motions of pretending to roll back that belief because that's where public sentiment is, while still carrying through a mission of destroying Canada's productive economy. Hard to tell 🤔 The evidence is persuasive in both respects, and no amount of loud promises to get pipelines built fully changes my mind.

Gordie Howe knew elbows. Carney is no Howe.

16 months of the Carney Government and the economic news just keeps getting worse. Today the Bank of Canada slashed its 2026 growth forecast from 1.2% to 0.7%. This is what happens when Liberals turn away $70 billion in investment because Canada has a "lack of projects” available for investment.

@garymasonglobe How much worse does Canada have to get before you concede that maybe just maybe the people NOT in charge are not to blame?

@CailinasEirinn Always has been. And I have spoken about it many times including when it happen to Liberals. So are you supporting the violence? It condemning it?

@RickPerkinsCPC Oh. So NOW it’s unacceptable. Interesting. 🤔

Today this violence against an elected official, our Premier, is totally unacceptable. In our democracy it is fair and healthy to have different views on issues. To protest. It is essential. We can disagree but when that disagreement turns to violence no matter your view against those who serve it undermines our democracy. All regardless of views should be appalled and condemn this. They tried to diminish democracy today. Don’t let them. All should do better.
