He's crushed it. With only approx. 3.5 billion in guaranteed new deals. The rest are mou's or trade extensions. No deal with the 🇺🇸 GDP down, housing down, cost of living up, food inflation #1 in the G7. 2.2 million people at food banks. 700 are kids. We're now energy dependant. Canada is giving away its land Youth unemployment has skyrocketed .. Carbon tax does cause inflation Bank of Canada says our economy is on LiFe Support. Deficit is the highest ever PBO said the budget was stupefying. His is trying to pass 1984 style censorship bills. And not passed a single bill to make life more affordable. Grocery rebate -- proven to be a 14b taxpayer bill for the future. Middle class tax cut has already been eaten by the cost of living. I can go on...?

So it turns out Carney in this clip stared straight into the camera and lied about discussing human rights issues with China. If he can lie about a topic such as human rights, what else has he been lying about?

@kinsellawarren @am640 @BenMulroney @thechrischapin Great segment!!

On @am640 again with these characters. @BenMulroney @thechrischapin

I am ready weigh in on the Pierre Poilievre visit to the Joe Rogan Experience. It may not be what you expect: 1. I was stunned at the tactic of not being critical of Mark Carney or how he's handling some hugely complex issues in Year 1 as our Prime Minister. That said, what a tactic. It shows a tremendous respect for how competition goes - you sometimes see it in sports, despite the fact we often revere athletes who cross lines & have a "win-at-all-costs" mentality - in this case, how can the strategy (being "strategic" isn't a criticism) be dumped on? Carney, it should be noted, didn't offer the same grace on Jon Stewart's show 13 months ago when he made up a ludicrous narrative about Poilievre's policy as the COVID pandemic began (he wasn't in government, nor was he CPC leader, even, at that point) - facts Carney conveniently left out, by design. 2. I thought he came in with a clear game plan to look through the front windshield of the car, & not the rear-view mirror. There is plenty to peck away at when any government's run the show for 8 years, 10 years, 12 years - without being explicitly critical, Poilievre laid out a case for, simply, a better way forward > unlock natural resources, don't just cut but obliterate red tape, & focus on intelligence & innovation. 3) "Canada is broken". Did that slogan fit for a moment in time? Maybe so, but it always had potential to be deemed negative, & certainly misinterpreted. Anyone listening to Rogan/Pierre would note - not only is that not said, but there's no inference that we have a problem we can't fix if we just decide we want to (& it only takes thousand of votes in a dozen ridings to do so - with the NDP at 2.7 percent in Ajax - I needed/need a mere 5,500 people to vote differently next time in a riding of 97,000 eligible voters. I'm hardly alone. 4) Indisputable that Pierre sounded like a very proud Canadian. I like that. We all SHOULD. I don't care who you are or what your beliefs are - if you go anywhere abroad, let alone spend 2+ hours on North America's most popular podcast, singing loudly about our heritage and traditions and potential will always win me over. Not everyone feels this way, & that's concerning - but I still think that's a very loud & shrill tiny minority that doesn't beam with pride when anyone reps us well south of the border. 5) This sounded like an optimistic man - far from a beaten man. Losing hurts. I hurt for quite a while after my run in Ajax. It's now the time of the year when the campaign started & the tough feelings are going to hit hard the next 5-6 weeks. Boo hoo. Those are mine & I will deal with them & push through. If Poilievre is still wounded from Election Night - you'd simply never know it. No sign in 140+ minutes of conversation that he's struggling, he's bitter, that he doubts himself - that's what I totally expected from knowing him now as I do. 6) He handled the Trump questions masterfully. When Rogan asked Trump’s controversial remarks regarding Canada becoming the 51st state, Poilievre was firm but measured. He defended Canadian sovereignty without sounding hysterical, using the phrase "Canada is not for sale" to assert national pride. Slam dunk. 7) I think we typecast so many people in the public eye. We define them, we box them in, & it just keeps life simple. I tell everyone I come across, & I can speak authentically because of two damned true things - A) I'm not a lifelong Conservative. I see strains of 80s Conservatism (I was too young to vote from all of the 80s & bit of the 90s) in the current Federal Liberals (far less so in the Ontario Liberals, I should note) & I want to be involved with a party that stands up for workers, cares about structure, will only police speech in very, very exceptional (& threatening) circumstances, & will let people live their lives as they see fit. I say all that to note, Pierre has evolved. How could he not? How are any of us the same person we were 5-10 years ago? From running in the Federal Election & having 26,000+ people mark an "X" beside my name (up from 13,200 the prior Election)....it changes you. More pride, more reflection, more humility, more confidence. I've never told the story of two things happening - and I owe all of this story arc of my life to Pierre Poilievre & Melissa Lantsman. Melissa was the first Conservative MP I told of my intentions - that we needed a change in Ajax & if I wasn't the only one who could win the seat there, I was one of a small group. She was awesome, is awesome - & I'm forever grateful for her belief in me. Massive fan. Pierre, I approached, on a busy morning after a radio chat w/ my colleague Alex Pierson - & I said exactly the same thing. I think we can make a huge run in Ajax (this was maybe 14-15 months before an Election that, at the time, was still supposed to be Fall 2025, so I was sure I had 19-20 months to be as organized as I could be). Pierre's response to me - "well, this is great news". And at the time....I wasn't even sure it was! All of this may happen, all of it may not. I am sure he's the Prime Minister we need, & I'm MORE sure because he's handled everything with such dignity, & class, & perspective, intelligence, & thoughtfulness ("intelligent" and "thoughtful" don't always match up together!). I thought he gave an impassioned, energetic, balanced, & reasonable perspective on where Canada is at, why we matter so much (to each other & to the world), & he's still up for the job - & for at least 20-24 months on end, the country seemed ready & certain to promote him to. That's that. Shouldn't be hard to find the link! Have a great weekend, all!

Are you really though? Come back to Canada and show us the contracts/ agreements that have been signed. Transparency would make me feel a whole lot better about our economic future. Just show us.. please! That’s all I ask. This is truly a non partisan post.. if you are really achieving all that, then I applaud you. But you just can’t expect us to say hooray without some proof to back up your claims. We are all worried . We are all tired.

Were it not for the constant news reports about just how awesome he is, there’d be little else to read about.

The Carney government's rhetoric is not matched with results and Canadians are paying a heavy price. fraserinstitute.org/commentary/fed… #cdnpoli

Several years ago, when I was forced to leave my job at OLO for medical reasons that I hadn’t yet disclosed to my parents, CBC ran a hit piece on me despite my candor with them about my condition and my pleas for privacy. Those in glass houses …

Holy crap! Carney jets around the globe preaching Net Zero & "low-carbon" oil while telling us Canada has what the world wants. We DO! Cheap, reliable energy! But NO ONE wants his carbon-free fairy tale oil. Japan just proved it by grabbing a $56B US deal instead. Epic disaster. 🚨 His agenda is costing Canada BILLIONS 🇨🇦🔥

🚨 Canada just took another hit. Japan signs a $56B deal with the United States. And Canada? Where’s Carney… on vacation? 🤔🇨🇦 #cdnpoli #Canada #Trade

@brucefanjoy I’m sure your constituent’s are well aware that you are a liar, but after that tweet we are all aware that you are a jerk.

I fired one, but I understand he found employment in Battle River-Crowfoot. Thanks for asking.

Pierre Poilievre is the leader of the opposition. He’s not the PM. Why aren’t the news media asking Mark Carney what his plan is for Canada’s auto sector. EI and 49,000 Chinese EVs isn’t a plan. It’s truly unbelievable how the news media, in Canada, jump all over the guy, who’s not PM, and take a pass on holding the guy, who is PM, accountable. x.com/junonewscom/st…

Nothing like coming home to the place you love the most. 🇬🇧

Hey @globeandmail I guess you don’t understand auto policy. 👇maybe listen to the experts before writing a smear piece about @PierrePoilievre ideas.

What my mother used to say: You came here from there because you didn’t like there, and now you want to transform here into there. We are neither racist, nor phobic, nor anti-whatever-you-are, we simply love here the way it is, and most of us came here precisely because it isn’t like there, wherever that may be. You are welcome here, but please stop trying to make here into a place like there. If you want here to look like there, you shouldn’t have left there to come here and you are welcome to leave here and return there whenever it suits you.

Carney withheld critical information that Iran put Canadians in harms way for fourteen days... but pollster on

Much of the media is celebrating the first anniversary of Mark Carney as Prime Minister, suggesting his first year in office has delivered significant progress. The data, however, tells a more complicated story. Canada currently posts the highest food inflation rate among G7 countries. The overall unemployment rate has remained largely unchanged, while youth unemployment continues to climb. The national deficit has nearly doubled. Interprovincial trade barriers—despite a commitment to eliminate them by July 1, 2025—remain firmly in place. Our tariff situation with the United States has deteriorated compared with when he took office. Meanwhile, several of the transformational projects announced months ago have yet to receive formal approval. Either there is something I’m missing, or parts of the media narrative surrounding the first year of Prime Minister Carney’s mandate are significantly disconnected from the underlying economic indicators.

Guy’s not even trying to hide it. Went straight from the airport to guest of honour out on Toronto’s streets treated like a rockstar. What the actual f—- is going on in this Country!?

What a story this team continues to be.
