ALARMING China has MORE "diplomats" in Canada per population than anywhere in THE WORLD. WHY? To run a MASSIVE espionage, interference & repression operation on Canadian soil. Meanwhile, Carney TURNS A BLIND EYE as he boasts about his "New World Order" with Beijing.

Hey at @cafreeland I watched that vile video of you being verbally assaulted at an event. It was disgusting. We can disagree about politics and legislation, but that is something different, some people in this country are unwell, and they need to know that behaviour cannot and will not be tolerated. I don’t wanna share the video to give that guy the glory he’s so desperately searching for.

In my call with Prime Minister @MarkJCarney of Canada, I expressed my deep alarm over the rise in antisemitic violence in Canada. I called on Prime Minister Carney and his government to address the fear and sense of abandonment felt by our sisters and brothers in the Canadian Jewish community before it’s too late. In our discussion, we agreed that Israel has the right to self-defense. I reiterated that we are acting to protect our people against the threat of terror from Iran and its terror proxies in the region, including Hezbollah in Lebanon. I also underlined the importance of implementing UN Security Council Resolution 2803 in Gaza, including the vital condition that Hamas is disarmed and a new government is established in Gaza.

If nothing changes, the federal deficit will reach $117Bn by 2035. The deficit is neither temporary, nor is it under control. That's the message @Gabgiguere1 and I carried to the federal Finance committee earlier today. #cdnpoli @iedm_montreal

People keep rewriting TMX history as if Kinder Morgan simply “got greedy” or Ottawa heroically saved a perfectly functional project. That is not what happened. Kinder Morgan suspended non-essential spending in April 2018 because the project had become a legal, regulatory, political, and financial minefield. Kinder Morgan explicitly stated the problem was ongoing BC opposition, uncertainty around the ability to build through BC, and unacceptable risk to shareholders: transmountain.com/news/kinder-mo… newswire.ca/news-releases/… BC was actively fighting the pipeline politically and legally: cbc.ca/news/canada/br… At the same time, multiple First Nations and environmental groups launched court challenges against the approval process: fca-caf.gc.ca/fca-caf/eng/co… Then came the massive legal setback in 2018. The Federal Court of Appeal quashed the federal approval entirely in Tsleil-Waututh Nation v Canada because: - marine shipping impacts were improperly excluded from the review - Indigenous consultation was legally inadequate Court decision: decisions.fca-caf.gc.ca/fca-caf/decisi… Legal summaries: stikeman.com/en-ca/kh/canad… nortonrosefulbright.com/en-ca/knowledg… That forced the federal government to restart major portions of the approval and consultation process. Meanwhile, the Liberals were also changing Canada’s broader regulatory framework. Bill C-69 replaced the old NEB regime with the Impact Assessment Act, creating broader federal review powers involving: - climate impacts - social impacts - expanded consultation - wider ministerial discretion - broader project assessment triggers Legislation: parl.ca/documentviewer… The Supreme Court of Canada later ruled major parts of the Impact Assessment Act were unconstitutional because Ottawa exceeded federal jurisdiction: decisions.scc-csc.ca/scc-csc/scc-cs… Legal analysis: mcmillan.ca/insights/publi… bennettjones.com/Insights/Blogs… So yes: - Ottawa eventually bought TMX - Ottawa carried the financial risk - Ottawa ultimately completed the pipeline But pretending the investment environment was not a regulatory and legal disaster is revisionist history. No rational private company wants to invest tens of billions into a project where: - approvals can be overturned years later - consultation standards keep evolving - provinces openly fight the project - litigation reaches the Supreme Court - federal rules keep changing midstream - and political risk becomes impossible to price That is why private capital stepped back and Ottawa had to nationalize the risk to get TMX built. That is the actual history.

Where Carney explains that his plan to put a big new carbon tax on Canadian steel won’t cost people because…he says… people don’t really need steel. This is up there with “the budget will balance itself.” He is Just Like Justin: justlikejustin.ca/mark-carney/

The Winnipeg lab controversy should have been a wake up call. Two scientists were escorted out of Canada’s highest security infectious disease lab after concerns about undisclosed ties and the transfer of deadly pathogens to China, raising serious questions about oversight, transparency, and foreign influence in sensitive research environments. If reports of CCP-linked clandestine biolabs operating on North American soil don’t raise serious alarms, what exactly does? Canada’s political class keeps talking about China as a “strategic partner” while we deal with foreign interference allegations, police station concerns, IP theft issues, and now disturbing questions around unauthorized biological research. Maybe “strategic partner” should mean trusted ally, not recurring national security headache. At some point naïveté stops being diplomacy and starts becoming negligence.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr.@MrJohnJnr

EXPLOSIVE REVELATION: FBI raid of an unlicensed biolab in a Las Vegas home linked to the Chinese Communist Party, found thousands of vials of blood and tissue. Genetically engineered mice were designed to carry COVID. Tests showed the vials contained COVID, hepatitis and malaria. FOLLOW ME, FOR THE NEXT DROP!

Prime Minister Carney keeps forgeting to mention that the 20 signed MOUs are non binding. NOTE: Under PM Chrétien, Canada led "Team Canada" trade missions to EMs like China, India & Russia, resulting in the signing of hundreds of MOUs. OUTCOME: A landmark study by UBC's Sauder School of Business tracked these agreements and discovered they generated NO statistically significant increase in bilateral trade or export volumes.

Pierre Poilievre participated in the Free Iran rally in Vancouver. In front of tens of thousands of Iranians and their allies, he called for regime change in Iran and for making Canada safe from IRGC terrorists. “We want no more IRGC. No more regime officials on Canadian soil. Kick them out of Canada! And we need regime change in Tehran.” Thank you @PierrePoilievre for standing with the people of Iran. A free Iran will benefit Canada as well. 🦁🌞🇨🇦

A 🧵: My dad used to say that a Prime Minister’s most important job is maintaining the support of his caucus. Today we learned that there is descent within the government caucus. It is the responsibility of the Prime Minister to deal with these issues….

I think she already has. She’s given them a clear path to a vote on separation and they’re rejecting it already. She’s let them highlight now unserious that guy in the hat really is.

So let me get this straight….CBC has a copy of the letter but they’ve decided to protect the MP’s who signed it?!? Is CBC even pretending to be a balanced media outlet anymore? Last week, CBC got caught lying to a Conservative MP so he would unwittingly be part of their gross spoof. This week they are proactively protecting Liberal MP’s who actually wrote this letter. This is indefensible and I will never listen to anyone who says that CBC isn’t biased. Canadians deserve better!
Brian Lilley@brianlilley

14 Liberal MPs write a letter critical of Carney. CBC gets it and writes this. "Despite signing their names at the bottom of the letter, the MPs do not want to be publicly identified," CBC writes. No names released. This would not happen to Poilievre. cbc.ca/news/politics/…
