"The Oil Sands Alliance, which represents five of the country’s largest oilsands producers — including Suncor Energy, Canadian Natural Resources and Cenovus Energy — pointed out no other major exporters of heavy oil face such an industrial carbon tax, stressing it will limit the sector’s ability to expand and attract investment."

$1.2b cut from mental health & addictions. $600m cut from LTC. $500m cut from drugs for rare diseases. Health transfers cut from 5% to 3% after 2028, despite a growing, aging population. Pharmacare phased out as of 2029. Isn't it time we spoke up? thestar.com/politics/polit…

A 79-year-old Catholic priest, Fr. Larry Holland, who is recovering from a hip fracture at Vancouver General Hospital in Canada, said he was offered Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) twice by hospital staff, even though he made clear he is a Catholic priest and morally opposed to euthanasia.

Since 1990, the world has seen over 35 new countries. The idea that Alberta could become one is not radical. The radical idea is believing Alberta must fund a broken system forever.

"This is a judge who had a bust of himself displayed in the lobby of the court while refusing to say who paid for it or how much it cost. Wagner thinks so much of himself that he believes the public should hear his political positions, an area a chief justice should be quiet on. Wagner’s decision not to recuse himself has the potential to bring the administration of justice into disrepute. Before any decisions are made, Wagner should step aside for this case." @brianlilley

The Montreal Economic Institute says the Canada Infrastructure Bank failed to attract private investment and mainly spent on administration. It says the sovereign wealth fund repeats this approach, resembling "failed industrial policy" instead of a true sovereign wealth fund.

I just got my income tax back and I don't want to discuss my financials but I am gonna say it made me almost physically ill. Legit. I just don't see how I can afford to be in Canada anymore. My money is being flushed down the toilet and I am zero better off for it. Debt payment, money laundering domestically and abroad, Ukraine, failed gov projects and investments, immigration handouts, etc. I just can't afford this gov and I know my kids definitely won't be able to.

This US news broadcast just destroyed the Carney illusion. Mark Carney isn’t a “man of the people” — he’s the **ultimate globalist elite**. The same insider who helped create this mess is now pretending to fix it. Meanwhile Canada is absolutely imploding: - Worst projected economic growth in the entire OECD until **2030** - Record food bank lines - Crushing costs - No real opportunities left The Liberals turned a once-great country into a heartbreaking disaster. This is exactly why we need a full reboot. Canada doesn’t need more Davos elites. We need leaders who put **Canadians first**. Be very careful who you vote for. #cdnpoli #CarneyElite #MakeCanadaGreatAgain

Glenn Beck@glennbeck·
Canada is not a democracy. It's not even a free nation anymore. How could it be when Parliament is sidelined for eight months, allowing the executive branch to reign unchecked? Or when foreign interference is ignored and elections are gamed? Or when courts rule that the government broke the law and nothing changes? Or when the state controls your speech, your property, your energy, your news, your guns, your healthcare—and offers you assisted suicide when the wait times get too long? Canada has become something else: a managed oligarchy with democratic trappings, where the individual exists to serve the state. Look how far Canada has fallen. Because this could be America's future overnight.

On February 11, Scott Bessent told media he had to divest his stocks to become Treasury Secretary, stating "there's no such thing as a blind trust." Meanwhile, Mark Carney's portfolio was placed in a "blind trust" without a screen to prevent potential preferential treatment.

The only reason this watchdog was fired is because he actually did his job. He refused to protect the corrupt. He told the truth. Jason Jacques had the experience, the integrity, and was the perfect candidate for the position — and that’s exactly why the Liberals fired him. They don’t want a real watchdog. They want a lapdog. This is what happens when you hire someone who won’t cover for the Liberal machine. Canadians are watching this blatant corruption in real time. When does the accountability finally start? 🔥🇨🇦

U of T economist, Josef Steinberg responds: "I get that this elbows-up crap plays well politically within Canada, but as Kevin A. Bryan, Chief Economist, CDL Toronto states, it's "economic malpractice." Our physical proximity to the US isn't a weakness---it's one of our most valuable endowments.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Liberal voters. No conservative cares about his “style” of messaging. That’s a superficial metric. We care about outcomes. Tangible outcomes. Not tone of voice, nice socks or good intentions. I think it’s time that Liberal supporters start looking at outcomes for once because your outcomes from the last 12+ years are HORRIFIC.
Daniel Tyrie@DanielTyrie

The Poilievre (C)onservatives have no response to this style of messaging. Carney tactfully blends his brand of economic responsibility with a protection of modern progressive values and Canadian heritage. I disagree with his foundation — that Canada is just a more progressive America — but it's hard to ignore that this strategy make both the NDP and CPC irrelevant in their current forms.

I heard a great Canadian leader recently remark that even on the worst day, the US is still Canada's best friend. Undermining a lifelong partnership for political expediency is unwise.

Prime Minister Carney’s message today was largely expected. The warning signs have been there for months, especially as he increased his international travel. We’ve also reached this point because he has not delivered on his key promise to secure a deal with the United States—a commitment that was both economically important and politically central. In that context, suggesting that the United States is no longer an ally is, quite frankly, hard to believe. What we’re now seeing is a clear weakening of CUSMA as a reliable trade framework. The possibility of a direct deal between the United States and Mexico—leaving Canada on the sidelines—is no longer far-fetched. That would be a major shift for how trade works in North America. For the agri-food sector, the risks are real. About 75% of Canada’s agri-food exports go to the United States. That has worked well for years, but it also means we are highly exposed. Diversifying sounds good in theory, but in practice it takes time, money, and new infrastructure. In the meantime, farmers, processors, and distributors would feel the pressure through tighter margins. In food, geography matters. You can’t move farmland. What we produce has to be shipped, and the farther the customer, the higher the cost. That makes us less competitive. On logistics and supply chains, Canada still trails several G20 countries. PM Carney's use of “forward guidance” is really about preparing Canadians for what’s ahead, and perhaps shifting blame. But make no mistake, Canada’s position is weakening. This isn’t really about opinions—it’s about reality. The real test will be how Canadian households, especially the middle class, handle the pressure. The adjustment is coming. The only question is who will bear the cost.
