When the floor crossers happened. Everyone attacked Pierre. Gladu, just admitted that the Liberals offer money to Liberal ridings, IF THEY CROSS THE FLOOR. Unconstitutional madness. And yet, they still attacked Pierre’s leadership. Fast forward to today: 14 cowardly Liberal MPs, sign a letter against Carney, The media protects them, No names. One MP, quits as a minister. And now, he may leave the Liberal caucus altogether. So my question is: WHEN WILL MEDIA ATTACK CARNEY’S LEADERSHIP? 14 unhappy MPs. One quitting. A province that wants to separate. It’s a disaster.

Mark Carney says Albertans didn't vote to have a referendum. Well, Canadians didn't vote for a majority Liberal government either, yet here we are.

🇸🇾🇩🇪 Syria has rejected Germany’s plan to return over 700,000 Syrian refugees to their home country. "We categorically reject any attempts at forced deportation,” said Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani. He added that Syrians in Germany are a “strategic resource” rather than a burden.

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

It’s odd seeing a police constable, someone whose actual job is enforcing the rule of law, present the Komagata Maru solely as a story of innocent passengers cruelly denied entry, with no acknowledgment that the passengers were deliberately challenging Canada’s immigration laws. Under Trudeau we’ve basically had entire planeloads of Komagata Marus for several years. Today, a Komagatu Maru would hopefully be turned away. You can oppose racism and racial discrimination and still believe countries have a right to control their borders. Those ideas are not contradictory. These passengers were not fleeing genocide or persecution in the way Jewish refugees later were during the 1930s and 1940s. They were British subjects asserting what they believed were mobility rights within the British Empire. I've been saying this for years, the Komagata Maru story has increasingly hardened into a kind of unquestionable national morality tale like the mass graves. And for what it's worth, no one in India even knows or cares about this. But of course, count on naive and earnest Canadians to make this into something which it's not.
Chief Constable Steve Rai@VPDChiefRai

Today, we remember the passengers of the Komagata Maru and reflect on a painful chapter in Canadian history. In 1914, 376 passengers seeking opportunity and a better life arrived in Vancouver Harbour, only to be denied entry because of discriminatory immigration policies. Forced to remain aboard the ship for two months under difficult conditions, they were ultimately turned away. The boat returned to India and many of the passengers were imprisoned or killed. The incident remains a powerful reminder of the harm caused by prejudice and discrimination, and the importance of building communities grounded in respect and equal treatment for all.

1,000,000,000,000. A Trillion dollars. That's how much debt Trudeau and Carney will accumulate by 2030! And what do we have to show for it? 14.3% youth unemployment!

To date when you add up all the various mechanisms used to fund Ukraine, CDN taxpayers have ponied up some $26 billion dollars. The CAF has spent several billion more on the costs associated with training & supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Meanwhile in other insane news CDN’s bought about $360 billion dollars worth of crap from the Chinese during the same period of time, while the Chinese have funded Russia’s war machine to the tune of $275 billion CDN dollars. In other words we are standing by Ukraine rhetorically & funding Russia via China at more than 10 times the amount we are funding Ukraine. What a convoluted foreign policy!
Mark Carney@MarkJCarney

Ukraine’s fight is our fight, their cause is our cause, and their independence will be our victory. To the Ukrainian communities in Canada and around the world celebrating their culture, identity, and traditions this Vyshyvanka Day: Canada stands with you.

A City of Toronto activist on the "2SLGBTQ+ Advisory Committee" asks officials to rename Queen's Park due to "the insidious nature of settler colonialism." City staff have proposed relocating the King Edward statue within Queen's Park to the periphery to "address the colonial landscape."

I put in a heat pump two years ago and my local utility wouldn’t give me another 200 amp panel in my garage/apartment because they didn’t have transformer capacity. So, tell me, how is everyone switching to electric when they don’t have the power supply.

This was Chez Carney in London. Sold for 6.9M 🇬🇧 pounds ($12.8M 🇨🇦). Guess the number of heat pumps in this eco-warrior’s 8 bedroom home. Your answer is correct.

PM Mark Carney says Canada needs millions of households to switch to electric heat pumps, arguing it will lower energy costs and strengthen the country's "net zero" transition. He added: "When we master energy, we master our destiny."

CARNEY’S $200 MILLION COVERUP Carney's Govt is HIDING the terms of a $200M lease for a GRAVEL PIT they call a “spaceport”. It’s with LIBERAL INSIDERS who FLIPPED THE LAND to the feds for a 1300% PROFIT. This reeks of TOTAL CORRUPTION. End the coverup. Release the Lease.

C-22 will force telecoms & internet companies to store & file and all your metadata (call logs, message logs, geolocations etc.) for 365 days, without suggesting any crime was committed! It's a violation of section 8 Charter protection against Arbitrary Search and Seizure!

Gee I wonder why the Pentagon walked away from the Canada-U.S. defence board. The media all day has even tried pretending to be naive as to why. Well they know exactly why. It’s this man right here who has been for a year purposely sabotaging our relationship. The U.S. has had to listen to Carney for a year telling the world our relationship is over.

In my opinion, an independent public health physician should be able to say “don’t inject illegal drugs” as quickly as she says “wear a bike helmet, “don’t smoke cigarettes,” “avoid trans fats,” or “get your vaccine.” Her refusal to answer my colleague @DanMazierMP on this issue suggests to me that her office has been deeply politicized.
Dan Mazier@DanMazierMP

This is Mark Carney’s new Chief Public Health Officer of Canada. She refuses to say injecting illegal fentanyl is unsafe. That is the message now coming from Canada’s top public health official. There was a time when health officials told kids: don’t do drugs. What happened?

.@MarkJCarney Prime Minister, unless you take real action now against the tsunami of anti-Jewish hatred and attacks metastasizing across Canada, what happened today in London could happen on the streets of Montreal, Toronto or Vancouver. Deeds, not words. History is watching.

What was the point of listing the IRGC as a terrorist entity if the govt won’t keep its members out of Canada? Reports that former IRGC member Mehdi Taj is en route to Canada on a temporary resident visa are alarming.
