🚨 Even some who wanted to like Carney are now calling him a FAILURE In this must-watch Ledrew interview, two sharp commentators rip into Mark Carney: “He’s the smartest guy in the room… but smart doesn’t make you a good leader.” One who “had an open mind a year ago” now says Carney has “disappointed me in a huge way” and is already “a lousy leader” who’ll be a failure unless he makes radical change. Why? Because he’s obsessed with being the smartest person in the room while ignoring what Canadians actually talk about at the kitchen table — paying the mortgage, young couples in their 30s making six figures still stuck living with their parents in Oakville, and a shaky economy that feels like it’s never going to stop shaking. Canadians didn’t elect a resume. They want results. Full interview attached 👇 What do you think — is Carney already failing? #MarkCarney #cdnpoli #KitchenTableCanada #CarneyFailure #CanadaFirst

Pierre Poilievre: Millions of BC homeowners wonder if they even own their home. They're tossing and turning every single night.
PM Carney: It's sad — the person who's tossing and turning every night is the Leader of the Opposition trying to come up with new ways to stoke fear and division in this country.

News flash: Canada is not a victim. Canada has the world's second-largest land mass, the third-largest proven oil reserves, the largest freshwater supply on the planet, a G7 economy, and a border with the most powerful nation in human history that has made both countries extraordinarily wealthy for generations.
Let's stop pretending we are the "victim" and always need to blame someone else. The only thing we are victim to us a country that keeps electing governments that govern like one.
English
Carney didn’t campaign on:
- Strategic partnership with Communist China
- Bill C-22 which only China and Russia do to their citizens
- A New World Order with communist China
- Destroying trade talks with USA
- twice the debt of Trudeau
- re-announcing projects that were already in progress
- $500,000 meals on his flights
- making deals for Brookfield in Qatar and China
- paying better healthcare for asylum claims that are rejected because they are fraudulent
- causing even more division in Canada. Quebec and Alberta seperatism is up. Why? Carney

Of course it would not be in the commercial interests of the federal government to suspend shipments on Trans Mountain (TM.)
But that’s not the point.
The point is that in a worse case scenario, such as an Alberta unilateral declaration of independence (UDI,) Canada would have enormous leverage, including the ability to block Alberta energy exports.
This is most obviously the case re: federally-owned TM. Apart from their ability to reduce or stop shipments, do you really think the federal or BC governments would continue to advance Trans Mountain optimization, which is currently the best bet that we have for increased egress?
Do you really think the federal government would maintain its MOU commitment to support the construction of a de novo West Coast pipeline? Even if it wanted to, federal paramountcy over interprovincial pipelines, grounded in 92(10)(a) would cease to exist following secession, so BC governments could find ways to block operation or construction of pipelines going through their territory, with Alberta having no recourse to Ottawa.
Currently all of our pipelines exports to the US pass through other Canadian provinces first. That includes the incomplete KXL route, which passes through Saskatchewan. Since the Republic of Alberta would be starting without an equivalent to the 1977 Canada-U.S. Transit Pipelines Treaty, Ottawa could also suspend the operation of those other pipelines, e.g. the Enbridge Mainline.
Canada and BC could also extract further concessions (eg tolls or tariffs) in order to allow Alberta natural gas to feed into the growing number of West Coast LNG terminals.
Separatists respond to these realities by saying “don’t worry - we’ll build pipelines to the US and export from there!”
First of all, who is “we?” What companies are going to risk tens of $ billions to spend years building a new system of pipelines in the midst of such massive political and legal uncertainty, including the risk of a Biden style abrogation of pipeline permits by the US?
Secondly, the separatists seem completely unaware that the left wing US West Coast governments have effectively blocked the export of carbon intensive fuels from their ports. That’s why US produced thermal coal is exported from the Port of Vancouver, BC. Strange but true: Canada’s West Coast ports are far friendlier to hydro carbon exports than West Coast US ports!
All of this (and much more) effectively gives Ottawa the clear upper hand in prospective negotiations over everything, e.g.:
-debt allocation;
- valuation & sale of federal assets (such as military bases, RCMP facilities, federal lands, including airports, etc.;)
- allocation of CPP assets;
- continuation of OAS / GIS benefits;
- termination of citizenship;
- visa and work permit exemptions for Albertans travelling to Canada;
- export access to the Canadian market;
- partition of Alberta per the predictable demands of democratic majorities in Edmonton, Calgary, Indian Reserves & elsewhere;)
- support for or blockage of Alberta’s accession to critical international bodies & treaties, like CUSMA, or IATA to allow for international flights, etc.; and
- countless other issues.
I agree that exercising its massive leverage in such a scenario would be damaging to Canada. But it would be far more damaging to Alberta.
Whatever grievances Albertans have with Ottawa cannot be remedied by becoming a landlocked statelet.
The vast majority of Albertans know this.
It is beyond absurd that we are going to spend the next several months, and possibly years to come, arguing endlessly over this.
Dwayne Chomyn@Citizen004
Shutting down TMX is a point I've heard before and it's a stretch. Give up the tolls? Abandon stock for BC refineries? Vancouver is the countries largest port and Prince Rupert is Canada's sixth largest port with goods that need to cross Alberta. And Manitoba and Saskatchewan have to get grain and potash out. BC would be isolated if a deal wasn't reached. That's a point that has never landed with me. The interests to make a deal would be reciprocal.

The absolute state of things when deportation evaders are getting better healthcare than regular Canadians who are paying for it all
Matt Strauss@strauss_matt
The Parliamentary Budget Report on the IFHP confirms that 74,000 people with REJECTED refugee claims are still receiving health benefits that ordinary Canadians do not get. In fact, 23,000 people who are WANTED for deportation are still getting drug, dental, physio, vision and orthotic care that you taxpayers do not get. Make it make sense!

Mark Carney is lying to you.
In the first 90 days of 2026, Canada issued 292,855 work permits, smashing the full-year target of 220k–230k.
247,895 under IMP (International Mobility Program)
44,960 under TFWP
Why employers love the IMP:
It’s a much cheaper, faster, and easier alternative to the TFWP.
Key Financial & Practical Benefits of IMP (vs TFWP):
No LMIA required → Saves $770+ per worker (no $1,000 LMIA fee)
No mandatory job advertising to Canadians
Much faster processing (weeks vs months)
Lower compliance costs — only $230 employer fee
Fewer obligations around housing, wages, and recruitment
More flexible permits for workers (easier to retain staff)
This is exactly why companies like Tim Hortons and many in hospitality/retail have shifted heavily to IMP workers. It’s faster, cheaper, and bypasses most of the strict labour market tests required under the TFWP.
Kanwar Sierah, RCIC@KanwarSierah
Who needs TFWP when record IMP are issued? This is why Tim Hortons Canada no longer requires Temporary Foreign Worker Program, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗜𝗠𝗣 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 as Canada broke all previous quarterly records for Work Permits approvals.

Outrageous.
Worth noting that their claims have been rejected by a system that has *doubled* the asylum acceptance rate to over 80%, the highest level of any peer country on Earth.
So we’re talking about manifestly fake claims.
If you’ve abused Canada’s generosity, you should leave or be removed, not rewarded with free health benefits, hotels, welfare, etc.
This is making a mockery of Canada’s immigration system, and is an insult to law abiding Canadians, including legal immigrants, who play by the rules.
Dan Mazier@DanMazierMP
BREAKING The Parliamentary Budget Officer has revealed that nearly 74,000 REJECTED asylum claimants are entitled to deluxe health benefits through the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP). Deluxe supplemental health benefits like vision care, home care, and physiotherapy now account for more than half of all IFHP costs. These are benefits that Canadians who have paid into the system their entire lives can’t access. Counselling costs have grown from less than 1% of supplementary spending in 2016 to 11% in 2025. Last year alone, taxpayers paid $38.79 million for counselling and $12.41 million for home visits for asylum seekers under the program. This damning information comes at a time when six million Canadians can’t access the basic service of a family doctor. The PBO also revealed the average length of IFHP coverage for asylum claimants is now a staggering four years. It is undeniable that as the backlog grows, rejected asylum claimants continue adding pressure to a health care system where Canadians are already facing long wait times for care. The Liberals must explain to Canadians why asylum seekers whose refugee claims were rejected, face enforceable removal orders, and in some cases fail to appear for removal, continue to receive deluxe, taxpayer-funded health benefits while they avoid leaving Canada.
