@GrahamG22047543 @MPelletierCIO Still scratching my head...
English

@MPelletierCIO Does Danielle Smith really think she's going to fix the planet's weather by putting onerous taxes on her key industry?

@MarcNixon24 For every pair of flip flops Dougie gets a vote.....

OUT OF CONTROL TRUCK DRIVERS
Truck drivers reportedly getting permits without properly learning how to back up, make left-hand turns or complete basic training and the govt response is we take this very seriously. 😳 THAT’S IT
I’m surprised the reporter didn’t ask if flip-flops will now count as approved safety equipment

@ryangerritsen @scorpchickk99 It doesn’t matter. Carney will be PM for 30 years. He could be dead for the last 10 of them and Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa would still vote for him
English

Vassy on Powerplay says Carney basically took yet another idea from Pierre, what do you do in this situation?
Robert Benzie’s response? Pierre this time next year probably won’t be the leader of the Conservatives. Tom Mulcair’s response? Pierre probably won’t make until the next election.
I’d like to ask, how would any opposition leader make it with endless negative media coverage being pumped out to the public week in and week out?

@MVdlJCardinal Proof that anyone can be a Liberal cabinet minister.

@thematrixb0t The EU platform:
High taxes
Heavy regulations
Liberal social programs
Net-zero
Open borders
Censorship
Who knew such a plan would be a failure?

@ryangerritsen @KolbyRizzo Cue the outrage when the Opposition tries this...
English

We had a former President of the United States & a guy who runs Soros’s Open Society Foundation in Toronto this past weekend. Obama even spoke at the engagement where Carney was & other Liberal Government MP’s attended.
The media was not allowed to attend & not one single photo or video has been shared from that event.
Why isn’t the media asking questions? What was said that needed to be hidden from the public? These are public servants who work for us. Secret events with former world leaders doesn’t sit well.

@johnrum211 @ryangerritsen Of course it's real: the question is whether C02 is causing it ( very doubtfu), and whether it is something to worry about in the long term, ie, an existential crisis ( also very doubtful). Mankind has no capacity to change it on the large scale.

@ryangerritsen Carney's comments are based on real studies.
Climate change is real. I don't know where you are but we all feel it.

“Reducing emissions is not just a moral duty, it’s an economic imperative”
CO2 is a trace essential gas which we are actually in a drought of. The more CO2 the more all living species thrive. This guy wants you to think it’s bad. He’s come up with an economic business model that rely’s on you falling for it.
“Zero carbon energy”…please…these people are laughing at us behind closed doors.

@moneytalkstweet @DustyRoseYYC Doubt Rod could find western Canada on a map....

Dead wrong - facts matter - TMX is already operating in the high-90% range - frequently described as “basically full” or “nearing full capacity”
and forecast to remain at or near its full 890,000 bpd capacity thru 2026.

They got a pipeline, it just opened and it is not even at Max capacity!

Prime Minister Carney,
Your latest revisionist flourish, claiming Canada was “built” by Indigenous peoples and voyageurs who supposedly forged coast-to-coast networks long before Americans pushed beyond St. Louis, is the same selective historical cosplay that prioritizes narrative comfort over verifiable reality. It’s a polished attempt to assert some mystical Canadian edge we’re duty-bound to “use” against our indispensable neighbour, complete with the smirking caveat “I’m sorry.” Evidence over excuses, sir. Precision demands we reject this framing before it justifies more self-sabotaging policy.
Facts first. Canada’s modern prosperity, institutions, rule of law, property rights, and economic integration rest on British common law traditions, parliamentary democracy, Enlightenment values, and the hard labour of successive waves of settlers, immigrants, and entrepreneurs who built a functional nation atop vast geography and resources. Indigenous societies had diverse cultures, trade routes, and knowledge of the land, valuable in context, but they did not “build” a transcontinental federation with railroads, cities, courts, hospitals, universities, or the Charter. Voyageurs were hardy fur traders in a pre-industrial economy; romanticizing their networks as foundational to a 21st-century G7 economy is selective myth-making that erases the institutions and capital that actually scaled Canada into a high-trust, high-productivity society. Similar selective histories elsewhere have justified grievance-based policies that erode equality under one Charter-standard law for all Canadians.
Your “use every advantage over the Americans” quip reveals the deeper ideology: a globalist temptation to define Canadian identity in opposition to our largest trading partner rather than in pragmatic partnership with it. StatsCan data consistently shows 70-75% of our goods exports flow south, energy, autos, lumber, agriculture, critical minerals, via deeply integrated supply chains that support hundreds of thousands of Canadian jobs. Geography, economics, and mutual self-interest make the U.S. our indispensable partner. Pretending we can leverage some Indigenous-voyageur “edge” to poke the bear while our per-capita GDP and productivity languish at roughly 71-73% of American levels, full-time jobs bleed (tens of thousands lost in early 2026 alone per StatsCan), and over $670 billion in resource and infrastructure projects sit stalled (Fraser Institute) is fantasy economics. We sit on the world’s third-largest oil reserves yet import ~40% of our crude. Households pay elevated energy costs under net-zero timelines, Bill C-69 delays, industrial carbon pricing, and parallel UNDRIP systems that undermine equal rights.
Canadians deserve realism, not Davos-flavoured exceptionalism. Strong, reciprocal U.S. ties under CUSMA deliver verifiable prosperity far more effectively than diversification rhetoric toward distant, higher-risk partners. Fast-track responsible development of our oilsands, LNG, critical minerals, and SMR nuclear for energy abundance. Tie immigration to housing and infrastructure capacity. Deliver full transparency and accountability on past coercive policies, including COVID-era mandates, pharmacovigilance data, and institutional trust erosion. One Charter law for all: equal rights, no parallel vetoes or race-based carve-outs that shred s.15 equality. Measure every decision by results for citizens, affordable energy, jobs, housing, fiscal restraint, not imported grievance frameworks or elite historical storytelling designed to justify weakness.
Drop the excuses. Prioritize precision over propaganda. Canadians first. Canada first. Evidence over excuses.

@timhodgsonmt Pourquoi ne pas simplement abroger les projets de loi C-69 et C-48 ? Et pourquoi adopter de nouvelles mesures législatives alors que le projet de loi C-5 (adopté le 26 juin 2025) permet au gouvernement d'accélérer les projets d'infrastructure, d'énergie et d'exploitation minière?
Français

L'annonce d'aujourd'hui signifie que nous visons des approbations plus rapides et plus claires pour les projets qui stimuleront notre économie — qu'il s'agisse d'énergie, de minéraux critiques, de ports ou d'infrastructures.
Des décisions rapides. Moins de formalités administratives. Plus de chantiers.
Au travail ! 🍁⚡

I didn’t know there was such a thing.
