@MannyTerrebonne @wyatt_claypool they have on going talks and mexico hasn't been hit with any additional tariffs, unlike Canada.

Goodness man why have we been letting a trade deal drag on this long. You haven't even been showing up to trade meetings when Mexico showed up. I absolutely hate the Trump tariffs but I am frustrated watching Carney and the Liberals do NOTHING to make the situation better and push for a good deal to get signed.

@wyatt_claypool Mexico’s top diplomat says his government has no interest in striking a separate trade arrangement with Washington that would jettison the three-way United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic…

@YoungStreete Only federally regulated businesses in specific locations where the use of French reaches a threshold. Canadians may comment on the proposal at the Canada gazette posting here: gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p1/2026/…

Liberals hate Canada. Prove me wrong. Last week Canadians learned that 40% of businesses in Canada are considering moving their business to the U.S. or somewhere outside Canada. Marc Miller’s response to hearing this shocking statistic - let’s make it even harder to operate a business in Canada. The Liberals seem to be deliberately decimating Canada one piece of forced through legislation at a time.

@FringedCanuck @MarkJCarney Americans will pay more for Canadian goods or look elsewhere if they are able.

@MarkJCarney I hope Trump bitch smacks your Government into reality. I hope he drops 100% tariffs across the board on everything. Liberal Government wanted to FA. I hope you all FO. Call a snap election and resign then GET THE FUCK OUT OF OUR LIVES.

My statement on the United States administration’s intention to impose new tariffs on Canadian goods:

@Derricktgoat There are many that receive the benefit that don't have taxable income.

@RotaryVictoria Yeh, Funny thing was, everyone used to get it if you had a child (baby bonus) and it wasn’t much. Liberals increased it and income tested it by labelling it income redistribution for low income, which is meant to entice voting Liberal. Lower taxes would actually work better.

Mark Carney, bragging how families can’t afford to buy groceries in Canada so in the spirit of Socialism, the government will “rebate” some of the tax they took from everyone.

Will the Liberals be applying similar English standards to Quebec businesses, or does "bilingualism" only go one way for them?

More absolutel stupidity from @MarcMillerVM. He's not content with destroying the ministries he controls, now he wants to destroy Canadian businesses.

@wyatt_claypool Is anyone lieing? Seems people using different terms then applying different definitions. Net income: Income less operations Net Profit: Income less operations and loan repayment or the bottom line. Net revenue: is not defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.

The truth about Mark Carney is that he is SCARED of Donald Trump. Carney considers himself a sophisticate and Trump as a non-sophisticate and he is terrified of stepping into a room with Trump to negotiate and being out-played in any way by a man he hates. So Canada suffers because Carney is more scared of his ego being bruised than Canadians losing their jobs due to the ongoing tariffs. He keeps giving up these concessions here and there basically to keep Trump off his back and from demanding an in person negotiation on any issue. DST, Streaming Tax, non-reciprocal tariffs, all scrapped because he didn't want to get yelled at by Trump. The only thing Carney has stood by is trying to integrate Canada with Communist China. We could have given up some of these issues in exchange for something but doing so would mean direct engagement with Trump so Carney just concedes for nothing more than getting Trump to leave him alone.

@bubbleslake @TheoFleury14 And we all remain so. In return our responsibility is: to obey the law, vote, accept jury duty, take responsibility for ourselves, contribute to community, protect the environment.

I do not feel this anymore under this liberal government I am a Canadian, a free Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship God in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind." This is the famous passage from John Diefenbaker (13th Prime Minister of Canada) on July 1, 1960, during the introduction of the Canadian Bill of Rights.

This should be a clear indication that Canada is under a communist takeover. Foreign interference by China helped the Liberals get elected 4 times in the last 15 years. The that illegitimate government passed illegitimate laws such as this one. This is called slow drip communism. It doesn’t happen overnight. Corruption and money laundering of tax paying citizens is their calling card. Textbook in every way shape and form.

@TheoFleury14 A summary of the legislation. justice.gc.ca/eng/csj-sjc/pl… It does not: criminalize religious teaching restrict the ability to preach, read scripture, or practice religion ban peaceful protest or political advocacy create “bubble zones” criminalize opinions, disagreement, or criticism

@raerexton1 @YoungStreete New Brunswick is the only fully bi-lingual province based on history and culture. www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en…

@RotaryVictoria @YoungStreete That’s how it started in New Brunswick. Now its every single jobs opening in New Brunswick.

Minister Marc Miller wants to further guarantee that businesses leave Canada. Miller wants to force businesses with 100+ employees to offer their services in English and FRENCH. Outside of Quebec, the percentage of Canadians,who speak French in Canada’s other provinces, is 10% or lower. The only exception is New Brunswick. Good luck finding qualified employees.

⚠️⚠️⚠️ After Bill C-9, we have to be very careful what we post. Remember, what you post can be used against you. If sharing an opinion, say it's your opinion (IMO). Avoid stating speculation or unverified claims as fact, leave yourself some wiggle room. Think before you tweet, especially after midnight.🍷🥂🍷🥂

Midnight tonight, July 18, 2026, **Bill C-9** — the Combatting Hate Act — officially takes effect across Canada. Here’s the plain version of what just became law: The bill adds new Criminal Code offences, including: - Making it a crime to **intimidate or obstruct** people from accessing places of worship, schools, community centres, and other spots primarily used by an “identifiable group.” - A clearer hate crime provision that “denounces” hate-motivated offences. - A new offence for **wilfully promoting hatred** by publicly displaying certain hate or terrorism symbols. The government says this protects communities after a rise in reported hate crimes. On paper it sounds narrow and reasonable. The concern is in the wording and how it will actually be used. Broad phrases like “intimidate,” “obstruct,” “promoting hatred,” and “identifiable group” give police and prosecutors significant discretion. Past hate speech cases in Canada have shown how quickly definitions can stretch when the political climate shifts. Religious speech, political protest near certain locations, and even displaying symbols or flags that someone finds offensive could now fall under scrutiny. This isn’t a sudden overnight ban on criticism. It’s another incremental expansion of state power over speech, assembly, and symbols — the same pattern we’ve seen with other recent bills. **What this means practically:** - Be precise and factual in what you post or say publicly. - Understand that “I was just criticizing policy” is no longer automatic protection if someone frames it as targeting an identifiable group. - Watch the first enforcement cases closely — they will show how far this reaches. Free societies don’t stay free by accident. They stay free when people pay attention to the fine print and the slow creep of new rules. This one is now live. Stay informed. Stay careful. Stay awake. #cdnpoli #BillC9 #CombattingHateAct #FreeSpeechMatters #CanadaFirst

Bill C-8 and C-9 have recieved royal assent and are now Law in Canada. We are officially a totalitarian system. This doesn't go away by ignoring it. It gets far worse from here. Good morning, Canada. Rise and shine.

Our Government Has Criminalized Emotions | Bill C9 Hatred Definition Under Bill C-9, hatred is legally defined as "an emotion of an intense and extreme nature that is clearly associated with vilification and detestation." Read that again. It's not what you say. It's not what you do. It's how intensely you supposedly felt when you said it. Our justice minister confirmed this applies online — meaning your texts, comments, and posts. But emotion doesn't translate through text. Ask anyone who's ever had a joke misread over a message. So how exactly is anyone supposed to prove what someone else was feeling when they typed something? This isn't a hypothetical. This is the actual legal standard, as written in a bill that became law this week. Watch the full breakdown of what Bill C-9 really says 👇

Bill C-9 is now Law in Canada. We have officially become an unrecognizable totalitarian shithole. This gets far worse from here.

@Sassygal1971 Boomers aged 62 to 80 don't have the voting power. They are a minority outnumbered 4 to 1 regardless of their higher engagement than those who throw aside a valueable right or not do their civic duty. The More that vote the more credible the outcome. www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.…

@DonWalk41134664 There is more to the article than the headline 63 % feel they pay too much income tax down from 72% per cent in 2024 48 per cent feel they get their money’s worth, an increase from 2025, when 45 per cent rated federal taxes as good value. It's important that we pay attention.

My God I wish we could have Harper back in power.

@DanMazierMP If you have an RRSP, TFSA, RIFF or investment drivin Investment Certificate you likely own shares in these same foreign owned firms with Canadian subsiduaries that pay Canadian employees, pay Canadian taxes, support Canadian benefits, buy Canadian products, pay Canadian rent,

YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS Under Mark Carney's so-called "Buy Canadian" policy, over 70% of contracts have gone to foreign-owned firms. That means more money for overseas executives and less money for Canadian workers here at home. "Buy Canadian" was just another Liberal illusion.
