Why are we not surprised? You can drive trucks through holes in “Buy Canadian” definitions. When Carney invests over 90% of his personal wealth in the US, do you think he really cares about “Buy Canadian”? It just makes for a good political line, as does virtually all he says.

The Farce of the federal government's "Buy Canada" edict More than 70 per cent of contracts awarded under the federal government’s new Buy Canadian procurement policy have gone to foreign-owned subsidiaries. -Thelogic.co thelogic.co/news/buy-canad…

Do you know who loves the NDP economic blockade the most? Our international competitors, who are shipping tankers up and down along British Columbia's northern coast as we speak. They want nothing more than this self-sabotage to continue. Look at the proof. In their new MOU with Ottawa, the NDP explicitly locked in their permanent blockade of the North Coast. The Premier went on record declaring there is "no way" he will ever let a northern pipeline corridor go through. This is economic self-sabotage at the hands of the NDP. Our deep-water northern ports are the closest gateway to Asian markets in North America, offering a shorter Pacific crossing and lower shipping costs. A northern corridor would bring billions in private investment, thousands of construction jobs, and long-term tax revenues to northern communities devastated by forestry job losses. Northern ports are capable of servicing modern tankers equipped with extremely sophisticated spill prevention systems and modern navigation technology. Yet the NDP chose to enforce a blockade on the north instead. They are actively forcing our energy sector into longer, costlier southern routes that will cut through vital farmland just to satisfy a room full of activists. The NDP has no right to keep our economy hostage. Our province shouldn't be running at a record $13.3 billion deficit just to make career activists happy at the expense of working families and our economy. It's time to break the blockade, open our trade corridors and free British Columbia's prosperity.

The Pathways Project. Carney's blackmail of the oil industry. 1⃣ Cost is $20 to $30 billion. 75% paid by 🇨🇦 taxpayers (50% Federal, 25% Alberta). 2⃣ Will make NO climate difference. Human industry makes 35 billion tonnes of CO2 per year & GROWING. Pathway's CO2 reduction when completed in 2035 will be 6 million tonnes. 0.017% of current total. 3⃣ No other oil producing nation burdens their industry with this. It makes our oil more expensive. There is no identified customer willing to pay a premium for "decarbonized oil." 4⃣ Brookfield is heavily invested in carbon capture. 💰This is brazen corruption & economic sabotage being given a free pass by legacy media.

You paid 100% of the cost of the Gordie Howe bridge and are now mad they want to take 50% of the profits? Liberals discover how every business owner feels about taxes.

Trudeau and Carney didn’t need a plan. They needed a scapegoat. Just like Napoleon in Animal Farm, they realized the easiest way to control a tired, frustrated population wasn’t to deliver results — it was to give them someone to hate. Enter: Trump. Every collapse, every broken promise, every time another sector of the economy got gutted, it was always “Trump’s fault” or “the big threat from the south.” They spent millions of our tax dollars on ads, propaganda, and fear campaigns to keep that ghost alive and breathing. Why? Because if Canadians are busy fearing the shadow they pointed at, they never turn around and look at the actual leader holding the whip. Classic Orwell. Classic Liberal strategy. They didn’t fix Canada. They just made sure you stayed scared of the guy who wasn’t even in charge here. Wake up.

No one is more partisan than Liberals.
Chris LaBossiere@ChrisLaBossiere

I stood 5 feet from @MarkJCarney tonight as he delivered a masterful speech. A he does. His eyes were empty from exhaustion, I would guess, as he started his probably 10th speech of the day and he had juts traversed the globe from Turkey and I think the Middle East. By the middle, he was revitalized,firm, and a bit fierce as he delivered a most optimistic vision for Canada, but you can see the worry and not help but sense that his own exhaustion comes from real urgency and concern. We live in a world where I feel the enemy is partisanship and the antidote is citizenry. I think most Canadians share this perspective. I so desperately hope we can quickly know that the latter always shapes the former, and not the other way around.

A total of nine to twelve people were shot in Toronto so far this weekend (dead/injured). I wonder how many of the shooters were duck hunters and how many were gang bangers?

🇪🇸Spain in 1492: Expelled, killed, or forcibly converted all Jews. 🇪🇸Spain during the Holocaust: Closely aligned with the Nazis. 🇪🇸Spain after the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust: Accuses Israel of genocide. 🇪🇸Spain last year: Refused to grant asylum to Palestinians fleeing Gaza. 🇪🇸Spain after recognizing a Palestinian state: Refused to move its embassy to the Palestinian territories because its diplomats didn’t want to give up the “standard of living and security” they enjoyed in Israel. 🇪🇸Spain last summer: Called the police to remove 50 French Jewish teenagers from a Vueling flight after hearing one word in Hebrew. 🇪🇸Spain in March: Officially withdrew its ambassador from Israel, but left its embassy in Tehran. 🇪🇸Spain today: Marchers equate the Nazi swastika with the Star of David they used to mark their Jewish victims. Now that is what being on the wrong side of history looks like. 🤦‍♂️

Workers Didn't Get the Weekend Because of Socialists. They Got It Because of Capitalism. Henry Ford gave his workers a 5-day week in 1926. Why? Rested workers were more productive. People with leisure time spent more money. Then, other companies followed. By 1938, when the government codified the 40-hour week, it was just catching up. Competition for labor and rising productivity did the work.

The world is sleepwalking towards a multi-trillion dollar abyss — a nightmare already underway. It promises to be the ultimate graveyard story — the sine qua non of the illusion of free air and sunlight. By 2030, fully 85–90% of the 1.3 million (equivalent) turbines operating today (GWEC 2025) will reach the end of useful operations. To just maintain the status quo, they will all need to be replaced in a 15-20 year window that straddles the 2050 net zero deadline. That’s roughly 35,000–40,000 turbines per year to be decommissioned, recycled (or graveyarded) and replaced. This will then lead to a second, even more costly build-out - on top of the one we’re still paying for. At the same time, 5–10 billion solar panels (2 TW installed today) will also be retired, triggering hundreds of billions in scrapping, replacing, recycling and burying. Wind decommissioning alone will cost $90–150 billion globally ($150–250 k per turbine, offshore will be double). New turbine costs (for 2025–2050) could easily hit $3–4 trillion — on top of what we’re already spending. As for the composite blades, 1.5–2 million units - mostly non-recyclable - will be heading to landfill graveyards or incineration. As for critical minerals, each 3–5 MW turbine needs 2 tonnes of rare-earth permanent magnets (NdPr, Dy). Demand could triple while China still refines 80% of global supply. All of this must happen as public subsidies fade, fossil-fuel restrictions tighten (diesel still powers 86% of mining equipment) and private capital becomes pickier, after years of thin or negative returns in renewables. The coming 'replace-everything-again' phase will demand a WWII-scale industrial mobilisation with far less political goodwill.

Given how secretive the Carney govt is being, shutting down committees, hiding their info, etc, it would be a good strategy for the opposition to initiate more of these inquiries. Liberals don't want us to know the truth by the usual means so have to be creative.

This image is brutal because it’s true. After 11 years of Liberal destruction — now fully owned by Mark Carney — this is exactly how you put a country into recession: blow billions on foreign wars, corporate welfare disasters, green fairy tales, and your own propaganda machine while Canadians get crushed. Look at the damage: - **Ukraine**: Over $25.5–26.7 billion and counting (another $925 million just dropped). Our own military is falling apart and veterans are waiting, but the blank cheque to Ukraine never stops. - **Northvolt**: Promised a $7 billion battery plant. Got billions in subsidies and loans. Result? Total bankruptcy. Hundreds of millions of Canadian taxpayer dollars torched. - **Stellantis**: Took over $500 million+ to stay in Brampton… then moved production to the U.S. and walked away. Now the government is chasing them for the money back like they got played. - **Volkswagen**: Up to $13+ billion in production subsidies (PBO says the real cost could hit $16.3 billion). Massive corporate welfare for a plant that was supposed to save us. - **Carbon Capture**: Billions committed and still flowing. Most projects are stalled or delivering almost nothing while energy costs stay sky high. - **Deficit**: Doubled under Carney. We’re now running massive deficits while the economy contracts into a technical recession. This isn’t “building Canada strong.” This is elite grift, ideological waste, and deliberate mismanagement that’s robbing the middle class and future generations blind. They spent us into recession while telling us everything is fine. The bill is here and regular Canadians are the ones getting screwed. This is the Canada the Liberals built. And it’s collapsing. Let them choke on it. #cdnpoli #CarneyRecession #LiberalFail #CanadaFirst
