@stayfreeCanada2 You’re not alone. There are so many. Strength to you.

I'm a Canadian citizen. All my credit cards, all my accounts..... 95% maxed out. Bills BARELY paid, vehicle held together with duct tape, fridge hasn't been full in years. A two week vacation on a plane somewhere is a fantasy in our home. Are you at this level ? Worse off ?

@JinglaiHe Apart from mic drop. What options do we have? Wait for another 4 years?

Pierre Poilievre: "Recently I said that this Prime Minister was just as irresponsible with money as Justin Trudeau and I now realize that was unfair to Justin Trudeau 😂" MIC DROP.

@MarcScottEmery @PrabSarkaria When will Canada wake up?

A Sikh @PrabSarkaria in charge of Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation is like putting an arsonist in charge of fire prevention.

@jkenney How did we end up electing this clown?

When Canada’s First Ministers gathered in June for an historic summit on knocking down internal trade barriers and creating “one Canadian economy,” David Eby decided not to attend. Instead, he was promoting snacks at Tokyo convenience stores. Pretty good reflection of his understanding of economic growth.

Most people who migrate to the western countries are from the 3rd world. In their country, these people are forced to accept whatever is thrown at them, served anything, treated like garbage, ignored, exploited, silenced, even killed - because they have no choice.

@KirkLubimov The biggest difference is Singapore is zero tolerant towards illegal immigration, political demonstrations concerning other countries. Which are simple, not so hard to understand why it can’t be implemented here.

@KirkLubimov I lived a significant amount of life in Singapore. Now in Canada for the last 3 years. The difference is night and day. Housing, security, education, medical. I can keep going on about it. I strongly feel the people here taken for a ride by the Government, politicians, etc

Has anyone that been to Japan, Singapore or even Hong Kong and Dubai and comes back to Canada or the US not wonder why North America has fallen so far behind on so many fronts??

@EvelinaHahne Thank goodness I avoided Sweden

I don’t commute in Stockholm very often anymore, but right now I am, and I’m just so tired of being a minority in my own country. The train is full of immigrants speaking loudly and women in hijabs. I can’t understand a word anyone is saying. This isn’t Sweden.

@jwarwick @rupasubramanya @acoyne USA - Europe - UK - Singapore - MiddleEast - Australia - Canada I regret moving out of two of those countries and come to Canada

@rupasubramanya @acoyne India's top tier talent doesn't come to Canada - they go to the Middle East or the USA or just stay in India.

With all due respect @acoyne , you’re ignoring the hard realities of immigration from countries like India. If we were attracting India's top-tier talent, and they exist, there’d be no issue, but we're getting the worst from India. I'm from India originally, and for a decade split my time between India and Canada, and I can tell you all the bad stuff I left behind is now in Canada. We’re seeing a surge of newcomers who went to shit schools in India, often from institutions where cheating is rampant and attendance does not matter. An increasing number are making headlines for violent crimes, sexual assaults, robberies, and murders. The folks protesting to stay in Canada are exploiting Canada’s naïve progressivism. They know Canadians are foolish bleeding heart liberals who refuse to confront uncomfortable truths. They're a drain on our resources and are pulling us down. The social contract is unraveling, and pretending otherwise only accelerates the decline. This model of immigration isn’t sustainable, and not how it should be.

@rupasubramanya @acoyne Most immigrants I see and interact on a daily basis do not speak English. The spit in the condos, roads, buildings. The expect me to speak Hindi/Punjabi everywhere. Most of them are on expired visas. Do cash jobs. Doesn’t pay tax.

We are beyond screwed . Just saw someone returning a 3/4 consumed milk can at Surrey Costco.

@theskindoctor13 Bollywood/Hindi. Did you watch Viswaroopam?

How Indian spy movies are made: Opens with villain destroying some Indian asset somewhere and challenging the Indian govt that he is coming for them. Next scene, IB, RAW, ministers having a round table meeting about the villain while his 4K images play on the monitor. Intel chief tells the Defence Minister that the villain is ex-RAW or ex-Special Forces but turned against India because either he was abandoned on some mission, or didn’t get uchit samman, or was reprimanded for going against the rules. Minister says, ab kya? Isko kaise rokenge? Everyone says, call the Army. Intel chief says, nahi, ye kaam sirf ek aadmi kar sakta hai. Hero. Then monologue in praise of the hero, background me hero ki slo-mo entry. Hero ki help ke liye jayegi Special Agent Natasha. Kyu? Abhi to aapne kaha tha ye kaam woh akela kar sakta hai. Haan, lekin Natasha ka figure achha hai. Action scenes ke beech me gaane waane honge, usme bikini pehan kar ghoomegi. Isliye she is needed. Then comes the mission. Cat and mouse game. Action scenes, beech me nanga naach, slow-motion explosions, unnecessary bike chases, and villain saying "You don’t know who I am!" every 20 minutes. Then villain kills intel chief or someone big, preferably the one who believed in the hero. Hero gets serious. Sad montage. Flashbacks. Background score intensifies. Again cat and mouse. Hero gets shot but still fights 20 men while bleeding. Hero wins. Villain dies, or escapes with a scar for sequel, or has change of heart and sacrifices himself "for the nation." Heroine crying. Hero walking into the sunset. Everyone salutes. Background me PM ka voiceover: "Aaj desh ek aur baar bach gaya." Tricolour waving in 4K drone shot. Jai Hind. Fade out.

This is not the first time Moody downgraded US credit rating. Read further to know what happened last time. Moody's Downgrades US Credit Rating for First Time in Over a Century, Market Reaction Muted Compared to Previous Instances In a historic move, Moody's Ratings on May 16, 2025, downgraded the United States' long-term issuer and senior unsecured ratings to Aa1 from Aaa, marking the first time the agency has lowered the U.S. government's credit rating from its top tier in over a century. The decision cited a significant increase in government debt and interest payment ratios over the past decade, along with a perceived failure by successive administrations and Congress to implement measures to reverse the trend of large annual fiscal deficits and growing interest costs. This action by Moody's follows similar downgrades by the other two major credit rating agencies: Standard & Poor's (S&P) in 2011 and Fitch Ratings in 2023. Consequently, the U.S. no longer holds a top-tier credit rating from any of the three major agencies. According to Moody's, the primary drivers for the downgrade include the expectation of widening federal deficits, projected to reach nearly 9% of GDP by 2035, up from 6.4% in 2024. This is anticipated to be fueled by increased interest payments on debt, rising entitlement spending, and relatively low revenue generation. The agency also noted that fiscal proposals currently under discussion are unlikely to lead to a sustained reduction in deficits, projecting the federal debt burden to rise to approximately 134% of GDP by 2035. Market Reaction: The market reaction to Moody's latest downgrade appears to be more subdued compared to the response seen after the S&P downgrade in 2011. * Following the Moody's downgrade on May 16, 2025: Initial reports indicated that yields on U.S. Treasury bonds rose after the announcement, which occurred after market close. Analysts suggested that the overall market impact might be limited, partly because the downgrade was anticipated by some and other agencies had already taken similar actions. * Following the S&P downgrade in August 2011: The market experienced a more significant reaction. The S&P 500 index dipped in the week following the downgrade. Interestingly, Treasury yields fell as investors sought the relative safety of U.S. government debt despite the lower rating. The price of gold, often considered a safe-haven asset, also increased. * Following the Fitch downgrade in August 2023: The market reaction was described as milder than in 2011. Stocks saw a slight downturn in the subsequent week, and Treasury yields nudged upward. The less dramatic market response to the recent Moody's downgrade, compared to 2011, can be attributed to several factors, including the fact that the U.S. had already lost its top rating from two other major agencies, making Moody's action less of a surprise. Additionally, the U.S. dollar's continued role as a global reserve currency and the perceived resilience and dynamism of the U.S. economy likely contribute to its ongoing appeal to investors despite the lowered rating. However, the downgrade serves as a signal regarding concerns about the U.S.'s fiscal trajectory and could potentially lead to higher borrowing costs in the long term if not addressed. $SPY $QQQ

@shashj Seems misleading. Indian rafale starts with RB tail number financialexpress.com/business/defen…

@jimsciutto Seems like wrong picture that was circulating. All rafale handed over to India starts with RB tail number. The picture starts with B financialexpress.com/business/defen…

New: A high-ranking French intelligence official told CNN that one Rafale fighter jet operated by the Indian Air Force was downed by Pakistan, in what would mark the first time that one of the sophisticated French-made warplanes has been lost in combat.   Pakistan claimed earlier Wednesday to have shot down five Indian Air Force jets in retaliation for Indian strikes, including three Rafales. Indian officials are yet to respond to the claim.   The French official told CNN that French authorities were looking into whether more than one Rafale jets were shot down by Pakistan overnight.

April 29, 2025 —If you were watching the Canadian election from a sane perspective, the outcome doesn’t make a lick of sense. Pierre Poilievre campaigned like a man who wanted to win — and he almost did. He drew thousands to rallies across the country, hammered the failing Trudeau legacy into dust, and offered real solutions for a country buckling under inflation, crime, and a collapsing middle class. He should have crushed Mark Carney — a lifeless banker installed by the Liberal swamp to keep the grift running. Instead? The Liberals limped back into power with a minority, and the Conservative movement — though stronger than ever — came up just short. So what the hell happened? Two words: Donald Trump. Let’s be honest — Trump was a political nuclear bomb in this election. Not because Pierre Poilievre embraced him — he didn’t. Poilievre stuck to Canadian issues, refused the bait, and ran a laser-focused campaign. But it didn’t matter. When Trump started talking about tariffs on Canadian goods and even joked about Canada becoming the 51st U.S. state, Ontario voters — particularly the aging boomers in auto manufacturing towns — lost their minds. They weren’t thinking about freedom, taxes, or restoring Canadian sovereignty. They were thinking about their pensions, their mortgages, and whether their Honda assembly plants would still be open in two years. Mark Carney seized the opportunity. Suddenly, this nobody globalist who should have been laughed off the debate stage was being portrayed as “the grown-up in the room,” the guy who could “manage” Trump. It was a joke. But fear is powerful, and it worked. The Trump factor — pure and simple — spooked Ontario and handed Carney the slim margins he needed to survive. And if that wasn’t enough, Poilievre’s campaign took one unnecessary hit that nobody wants to talk about: the women problem. Look, when it comes to conservatives and women voters, let's just be honest about it: we're punting from our own end zone every single time. It's not fair, but it’s the reality. Conservatives — especially right-wing conservatives — start at a disadvantage because the culture has rigged the rules of engagement. And the numbers prove it- Pierre Poilievre ran into a brick wall with women voters — and the numbers prove it. According to a Nanos poll, Poilievre pulled just 29% support among women, five points behind Mark Carney’s 34%. And it was even worse in Ontario, where Carney — a globalist banker dressed up as a “moderate” — beat him by seven points among female voters. I spent time talking to a lot of women during this Canadian election, and let me tell you, the conversations were revealing. When I asked some of them who they were voting for and why, the answers were shocking — and honestly, kind of hilarious. One woman told me, straight-faced, that she was voting NDP because they had the best Instagram account out of all the parties. I'm not making that up. Not policy. Not economics. Instagram filters. But not all of it was funny. A lot of the women I spoke to were very serious when it came to Pierre Poilievre and abortion. It came up again and again, especially in suburban mom groups and online communities. It became a huge undercurrent. Here's the truth, Poilievre, during the campaign, pledged not to ban abortion. Over and over again. He said it clearly: we're not reopening the debate, we're not legislating abortion. It was as clear a position as any conservative leader has ever taken in Canada. But — and this matters — women, especially liberal-leaning women, didn't believe him. Why? Because of his voting record. And yes, there’s material there. Poilievre had previously voted in favor of things like: Motion 312 (which sought to review when life begins, an obvious nod to pro-life sentiment) He also supported Bill C-233, which aimed to ban sex-selective abortion (specifically targeting abortions based on gender). Now, if you're a rational person, you can say: "Supporting a ban on sex-selective abortion isn't banning abortion itself." And you’d be right. But rationality is not the lens these voters are using. The political left framed this as "edging" — suggesting that Poilievre was still dangerous, still harboring secret pro-life intentions. For a lot of single-issue liberal women voters, that was enough. It didn't matter how many times he said otherwise. It didn't matter how much he reassured them. The narrative stuck. And when you have political operatives, activists, and a fully compliant media beating that drum 24/7, it becomes almost impossible to break through. That’s the real story: Poilievre didn't lose women because he said something offensive during the campaign. He lost them because years ago, he cast votes based on principle — and the modern liberal voter doesn’t give a damn about nuance or context. They want pure allegiance to their causes, no questions asked. What’s next for the blue wave? Let’s talk about what comes next for the Conservative Party—because make no mistake, we are now the dominant force in Canadian politics. The numbers don’t lie. Conservatives gained 25 seats in this election. That’s not a shift—it’s a tidal wave. Meanwhile, the NDP lost 18 seats. The Bloc Québécois dropped 9. Even the Liberals, despite clinging to power, only managed to gain a measly 8, and that’s after carpet-bombing the electorate with corporate media spin and taxpayer-funded fearmongering. So now the Conservative movement stands at a crossroads. Pierre Poilievre, the architect of this comeback, the man who dragged the Conservative brand out of the political wilderness, lost his seat in Carleton. Now ask yourself—does that make sense? No, it doesn’t. Because the fix was in. Carleton had 91 candidates on the ballot. That’s not democracy—that’s sabotage. That’s a coordinated effort to confuse the electorate and overwhelm the Conservative base in one of our most high-profile ridings. And while they were pulling that trick, Pierre was out doing what leaders are supposed to do—leading. He was campaigning across the country. Alberta. B.C. Newfoundland. New Brunswick. He was everywhere. He wasn’t padding his own numbers in Carleton—he was working for every single Conservative candidate. And it worked. We didn’t just gain ground—we made history. Under Poilievre, the Conservative Party saw its biggest seat gain in over a decade. He united the base. He pulled in independents. He brought fiscal common sense back to the national conversation. That’s leadership. And the numbers prove it. Now let’s talk about Mark Carney—because if Poilievre is the architect of the conservative revival, then Carney is the Liberal establishment’s last hope. Trudeau is done. Finished. The poster child for virtue-signaling globalism stepped aside, and in walks “Carbon Tax Carney,” the unelected banker with a WEF résumé and a smile so polished it belongs in a toothpaste commercial. Now here’s the thing about Carney: he’s slick. I hate to say it, but he is. When protesters at one of his rallies chanted “WEF! WEF! WEF!”—he didn’t crack. He smirked, cupped his hand to his ear, and joked, “Hold on, they’re giving me orders.” That’s a seasoned operator. And it’s dangerous, because charisma sells—even when it’s wrapped in globalist policy. But don’t be fooled. Carney isn’t here to change the Liberal Party—he’s here to rebrand the same corrupt apparatus that gave us blackface scandals, carbon tax hikes, and censorship bills. This is Trudeau 2.0—new face, same swamp. So what now? Poilievre’s out of Parliament—for now. But does that mean he’s lost his position as leader? Not a chance. Let's remember: John A. Macdonald—our first Prime Minister—lost his seat and simply ran in a by-election. This isn’t unprecedented. This is politics. All it takes is one Conservative MP in a safe riding—maybe someone with a pension and no more to prove—to step aside and let Pierre run again. We clear the runway, he wins the by-election in a walk, and we put him right back where he belongs—on the front lines, crushing Carney with cold, hard facts and a real plan to get Canada back on track. The Mark Carney factor Let’s be honest about why Mark Carney is here. He wasn’t dropped in out of nowhere. He was brought in for one reason, and one reason only: to stop Pierre Poilievre. Because let’s call it what it is—Poilievre ended Justin Trudeau’s political career. Period. The Conservative surge didn’t happen by accident. It wasn’t some economic shift or lucky timing. It was Pierre, day after day, hammering Trudeau on inflation, corruption, censorship, and incompetence—until Trudeau had no cards left to play. The polls turned. The base collapsed. Trudeau folded. He resigned. And he did it because Poilievre made him irrelevant. That’s not just political skill—that’s a strategic kill. And Conservatives should be proud of that. But here’s the part no one’s talking about: while Pierre was delivering that knockout blow to Trudeau, the Liberals were already scheming. They saw Trump on the horizon, threatening auto tariffs. Now if you’re in Ontario, that’s no small thing. The auto sector is sacred. It props up the middle class, feeds pension funds, keeps entire communities afloat. So when Trump signaled he might bring the hammer down on Canadian manufacturing, the Liberals saw their opening. They panicked. They knew Trudeau couldn’t carry that weight—so they brought in the banker. Mark Carney. Calm. Corporate. Smooth. The kind of guy who can show up in a suit, whisper “stability” into a microphone, and make retirees feel like their pensions are safe. He was never brought in to “renew” the Liberal Party. He was brought in to shield it—to stand between Poilievre and a voter base the Conservatives were about to run away with. And for a lot of Ontarians who don’t live and breathe politics, Carney seemed like the adult in the room. He wasn’t yelling. He wasn’t grandstanding. He was the polished bureaucrat saying, “I’ve got this.” It was a play straight out of the globalist handbook—replace the face, keep the system. But let me say it again: Carney isn’t here to change anything. He’s here to preserve the swamp. He’s here to protect the Laurentian elite, keep the carbon tax grift going, and make sure the same Liberal operatives that ran this country into the ground stay employed. Final Thoughts: What This All Means for the Conservatives Moving Forward I was planning to sit down and write a formal article about this, but let’s be honest—sometimes it’s better to just speak plainly. So here it is: Pierre Poilievre should absolutely stay on as leader. He earned it. He gutted Trudeau’s credibility. He broke the Liberal-NDP firewall. He delivered a historic seat gain. And more importantly, he gave the Conservative movement its spine back. The next six months are going to be brutal—for the Liberals, not the Conservatives. And here’s why: without the NDP holding their hand, the Liberals don’t have cover anymore. I’ve sat through the committee footage. I’ve watched hours—hundreds of hours. The NDP’s role wasn’t opposition, it was obstruction. Anytime a scandal got too close, they shut it down. That’s gone now. The NDP is too weak to play gatekeeper. The Bloc Québécois? They’re not interested in protecting Carney—they want leverage. They’re going to dig for dirt, and they’re going to find it. So what happens next? The Liberal Party gets exposed. Fully. Committees will get teeth again. Accountability will creep back into Ottawa, and it won’t be pretty for a party that’s gotten used to operating in the dark. Meanwhile, on the global front, Trump is back in the picture—and if you think Chrystia Freeland is going to stand up to him on tariffs, you’ve been living in a fantasy. These people couldn’t negotiate their way out of a paper bag, let alone hold the line against an America-first trade policy. Carney? Please. His loyalties lie with central banks and Davos—not Windsor autoworkers. The idea that this Liberal crew is going to protect Canada’s manufacturing base is laughable. If you believe that, I’ve got a carbon tax to sell you that’ll single-handedly cool the planet. What saddens me most is how many Canadians are going to fall for it again. They think Carney is something new. He isn’t. He’s the reboot. The sequel nobody asked for. The swamp didn’t get drained—it just put on a fresh coat of paint. So here’s where we stand: Poilievre stays. The Conservatives have momentum. They’ve got a strong bench, a sharper message, and a public that’s finally waking up to the fact that the Liberal promise of “sunny ways” was just fog and mirrors. The party needs to stay aggressive. Stay focused. Be the watchdog this country desperately needs. Because this isn’t over. This is the calm before the political reckoning. And anyone thinking the Liberals are going to lead Canada through it with strength and principle? You’re about to be very disappointed.
