@VI_Hillbilly @yuanyi_z He and his mother saved us from the ignominy of pledging allegiance to the Charter and President Trudeau.

@yuanyi_z Weird how he used his office to celebrate Ramadan and Eid though, right? And as a Canadian, unfortunately he is my king, so I do indeed have a vested interest in this

Earlier today, the King was at a Maundy service in Wales, where there isn't even an established church. Tonight, Twitter decided he's actually a secret Muslim because he didn't do a thing he never did.

@jhallwood @cath_cov Imagine thinking HM needs approval from the least loyal Realm of the Commonwealth to carry out his duties on behalf of the United Kingdom.

The only way a visit from the King to the US anniversary is remotely acceptable for me is if he returns back via Canada where he spends much longer and engages far more as a sign of respect for the British North Americans who believed in loyalty.

@XOghre @mario4thenorth Before displaying your Anglophobia, you should check the fact pattern. She didn’t fail the language test. She completed it successfully. CIC said the results weren’t transmitted to them —not like @CitImmCanada couldn’t have given her a procedural fairness letter with a deadline

@mario4thenorth I see what you are doing. She failed the competency test that applies to everyone but this shouldn’t apply to her because?? Time to exercise her privilege! Say it!

🚨 CANADA IS COOKED A midwife from the UK just had her work permit denied in British Columbia. Why? She failed a language test. She is from ENGLAND. She speaks ENGLISH. ENGLISH IS HER NATIVE TONGUE. Meanwhile: -8 people were arrested in January for bribing their way to commercial truck licences in Ontario -A man in Quebec made over $600,000 helping 709 people cheat on their written driver’s tests using hidden cameras and earpieces -Niagara College had to force 400+ students from India to retake English tests after “inconsistencies” were found -Online ads are STILL openly selling fake IELTS and CELPIP certificates -There’s a 25% nursing shortage nationwide THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE CHEATING their way into this country on fake language scores and rigged driving exams. But an English-speaking midwife from the UK, during a healthcare crisis, gets told to leave?! 😭😭😭

@mario4thenorth Everywhere else in the Anglosphere says if you are from an English-speaking country and completed your education in English, don’t worry about an English test. But not Canada! Can’t offend non-English speakers by giving anyone from the UK or the U.S. an exemption!!

@krassenstein SAID NO ONE The previous Prime Minister told us “the budget will balance itself” and converted the Canadian economy into a Ponzi scheme of mass immigration, housing starts, and international student fees. Stop using our inability to run a G7 country for your own politics.

TRUMP DID THIS. I heard 2 Canadians next to me complaining about how Trump is making Canada unaffordable. Trump is screwing the world.

@vancolour @caroltreardon No we don’t. We are a North American people.

@caroltreardon We really need to stop anchoring our politics with American reference points.

After holding his breath to see if Aaron Gunn and then John Rustad would enter the race, Harman Bhangu’s leadership bid for the BC Conservatives never seemed to get off the ground. Now it seems like the Common Sense BC/Aaron Gunn crowd may be coalescing around Caroline Elliott.

@ReliefBelief @HeinenCurtis @Dallas_Brodie Growing population? Nah, imported population. Canada is dying.

@Dallas_Brodie I am for development, it is a natural result of being in a desirable location with a growing population.

This is an URGENT message to all of the residents of Vancouver. Please go immediately to the link below and state your opposition to the new Official Development Plan (ODP) that is being forced on the City of Vancouver. It's time to stand up everyone! council.vancouver.ca/20260310/phea2…

@KAtty_KAtty_0 @kareemformayor It’s the Vancouver model = money laundering, housing as a commodity, mass immigration as a Ponzi scheme.

@kareemformayor Vancouver and BC in general are great places to launder money and win projects based on who you know, and there has never been any accountability. A few years ago, they spent millions on red bus stops, which is all gone now!

Vancouverites were promised what was in the top photograph; what was delivered was in the bottom photograph. Price tag: $54 million. Now we are told suicide prevention barriers will be delayed. We deserve accountability for this fiasco.

@Joseph_Seiler @kareemformayor It looks like a great spot for suicide by motor vehicle accident.

@kareemformayor The fact that Vancouverites need “suicide prevention barriers” to prevent hurling themselves off a bridge has to be the biggest indictment of this dystopia. #Vanexit is the way forward.

@PerellClips This is the same chap that said something about the Constitution being over a hundred years old — technically correct but something sophomoric about his thoughts.

Ezra Klein: "Having AI summarize a book or paper for me is a disaster. It has no idea what I really wanted to know and wouldn't have made the connections I would've made. I'm interested in the thing I will see that other people wouldn't have seen, and I think AI typically sees what everybody else would see. I'm not saying that AI can't be useful, but I'm pretty against shortcuts. And obviously, you have to limit the amount of work you're doing. You can't read literally everything. But in some ways, I think it's more dangerous to think you've read something that you haven't than to not read it at all. I think the time you spend with things is pretty important." @ezraklein

@MPelletierCIO Why is @financialpost posting headlines based on nominal figures which everyone learns not to use in freshman Economics?

The post is false. The nominal number being used is not accounting for inflation. The real (inflation-adjusted) number of 2025 inflows are equivalent to roughly $67 billion when expressed in 2007 purchasing power terms. So investment is much lower now than 2007. ALSO: It’s a net number, not gross inflows. Flattered by a sharp slowdown in Canadian investment abroad and coming off an unusually weak 2022 base. In other words, the improvement is as much about Canadians pulling back as foreigners leaning in. A reversal from a very bad year does not equal a boom. How much new, long‑term, productivity‑enhancing capital is Canada attracting?” The answer is far less impressive: • Business investment remains weak • Productivity growth is poor • Capital deepening is lagging peers • Domestic firms are very cautious, not exuberant

@KatherineSnill @PierrePoilievre People buy on the dips — our currency is weak and our economy is underperforming. Foreign investors see bargain prices.

April 26, 2025, the Liberal Party promised a Mark Carney-led government would “build the fastest growing economy in the G7.” Today we learned 👇

@front_ukrainian So recently @MarkJCarney was bragging about Canada being allowed to apply for EU SAFE loans — which means we can’t fund our national defence. But we can send another military aid package to Kiev ?

❗️🇨🇦Canada has announced a large-scale military aid package for 🇺🇦Ukraine, timed to coincide with the anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion. Ottawa will transfer to Ukraine more than 400 armoured vehicles, including: - 66 LAV 6 armoured personnel carriers - 383 Roshel Senator armoured vehicles

@CitImmCanada @TTRRMK Essentially, Canada is creating the Foreign Mercenary Class of Permanent Residency. The Canadian Century is fire!

Yesterday, we announced a new Express Entry category for highly skilled foreign military applicants recruited by the Canadian Armed Forces for key roles such as military doctors, nurses, and pilots. This category — and other priority categories — supports Canada’s Defence Industrial Strategy announced earlier this week by adding a range of workers critical to supporting our sovereignty and security. Learn more: bit.ly/46OPiEL

@MarkJCarney With respect, joining SAFE means we don’t have enough money to fund His Majesty’s Canadian Forces ?

Canada is now the first non-European country to be granted a membership in SAFE. This is a gamechanger program that means Canada can rearm our Canadian Armed Forces members more effectively and scale up our defence industries with more contracts overseas.

@Morgan_C_Ross This is not a boycott. It’s house arrest. The Canadian dollar is so weak in the U.S. that we can no longer afford to travel there. This is Justin Trudeau’s legacy. Remember when Harper was PM and we were openly talking about CAD achieving parity with the USD.

The decrease in Canadian travellers to the US has cost the United States over $4.5 billion this past year. - Forbes

@mugala_teja @theepicmap Yes. The United Kingdom has spilt its own blood as a world policeman helping protect the Greeks, the Malays, even mediating between Zionist and Arab. History doesn’t forget but the anglophobe will twist facts.

@theepicmap Wow, that map is brutal UK still reigning as Europe’s most war-prone nation even in 2025. History doesn’t forget. 😬

Number of wars each European country has been involved in since WW2

@theepicmap The Soviets were sponsoring wars across Africa and Asia throughout the Cold War — even The Troubles in Ulster had KGB fingerprints via Libya. I don’t believe this map.

@prymofthecrypt @RobShaw_BC @BCGreens @Dave_Eby When the @BCGreens makes @Dave_Eby ‘s Leftism look sane.

@RobShaw_BC @BCGreens @Dave_Eby what the BC NDP said no to:

NEW - @BCGreens announce they were unable to negotiate a new CARGA agreement with BC NDP government. @Dave_Eby says his government has the votes (one vote majority) to execute its agenda.
