I just blocked someone for making a “joke” about how the woman astronaut on Artemis II has traveled further from the kitchen than any other woman. If this is humor to you we will not get along. This woman is more bad ass than he’ll ever be.

🚨 ARGENTINA PRESIDENT JAVIER MILEI says it absolutely PERFECTLY "I thought being on the left was a mental problem...what I discovered is that being on the left is a DISEASE of the SOUL." "The left is built on envy, hatred, resentment, unequal treatment before the law. They are very violent." "And since they have no way or arguments to answer, they go for physical violence." "Lefties always resort to physical violence and all kinds of violent manifestations because they are unable to refute the arguments!" 🇺🇸🇦🇷

Pierre told Joe Rogan he got into politics because he got hurt wrestling. Pierre told Steven Barlett he got into politics because he got hurt playing football. Pierre told Andrew Lawton he quit all sports at age 12 because he had asthma. A politician, through and through.

Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus, was over 80% Christian under Israeli control. In 1995, the Palestinian Authority took over. After 30 years, Bethlehem is now less than 10% Christian. This is what ethnic cleansing looks like.

Canada’s birthrate is collapsing… and no one wants to say why. “If you can’t afford a home, then you have no place to raise children.”

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.
Mark Carney@MarkJCarney

Good news for your local brewery: we’re extending alcohol excise tax relief for 2 more years. That’ll save Canadian breweries up to $90,000 in taxes this year.

Fun fact: Trump's Moon base is expected to cost $20B. The high speed rail connecting Quebec City and Toronto will cost $90B. And, ironically, the same number of people will use both

I know that many Canadians have decided they don’t like @PierrePoilievre. But I find his answers to pressing questions to be refreshingly candid compared to the constant dodging, weaving and obfuscation we hear from the PM.
Scott Robertson@sarobertsonca

Q: If you were Prime Minister, what would you do about securing the Strait of Hormuz? Pierre Poilievre: My goal would be to massively increase production and shipping of Canadian oil and gas.

This is the best part from Pierre Poilievre appearance on the Diary of a CEO podcast; "Those who push a socialist ideology have a gross contradiction in their view of human nature. They say that human beings are wretched, self-interested, greedy when they’re in the private voluntary economy, but they’re angels when they’re in the governmental economy. They argue that the government should just control everything because then we have all these angels that will decide for us." 🎯

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."

For perspective, Uzbekistan has had a 600km HIGH SPEED RAIL connection between its two largest cities for 15 YEARS now. UZBEKISTAN. The distance between Montréal and Toronto is about 540km. But Pierre Poilievre thinks it's just too big for 🇨🇦 to handle? share.google/8kjPfxjOPgPNbL…
