@lesliechurch She’s delusional, simply delusional…so out of touch with reality.

The deficit is coming down 📉 Home prices and rents are coming down 📉 The GDP is going up 📈 Non-U.S. exports are going up 📈 Why? Because our plan is starting to pay off. We are empowering workers, we are investing in Canada and we are Building 🇨🇦 Strong.

I was taking Luna out for a walk today with my wife. A friendly woman with her dog joined us for a bit. She was super chatty, gave Luna a delicious treat, and her big fluffy dog got one too. She was especially fired up about the price of gas. She seemed pretty savvy, sharing all the tips she uses to save at the pump, and she kept saying how brutal it is for regular folks now that it’s climbing toward $1.90 a litre. I told her I was surprised we haven’t hit $2.00 yet, like they’ve already seen in B.C. She looked absolutely stunned. And you know what? Millions of Canadians are going to wear that exact same stunned look when gas really starts marching north of $2.00 a litre — because it’s coming, folks. It’s coming hard. Millions of us are already tapped out and broke. We’re the ones staring at the pump in disbelief, doing the mental math on whether we can afford to drive to work, pick up the kids from hockey, or even run to the grocery store without wincing. And while we’re scraping by, Canada, this massive, resource-rich beast of a country, could be an absolute economic powerhouse. We could be the energy capital of the world. We could be creating wealth, lowering prices for every family from coast to coast, creating hundreds of thousands of high-paying jobs, and telling the world “come and get it” on our terms. If the Liberals had just positioned us properly. Instead? They sold us out to ideology and handed the Americans the keys to our own wallet. Think about it. Canada sits on the third-largest proven oil reserves on the planet, the oil sands alone are an absolute monster. We’ve got natural gas for days, hydro power that could light up half the continent, and the geography to be the energy bridge between North America, Asia, and Europe. Done right, we could be exporting clean, reliable Canadian energy to the world at full price. No more selling our raw bitumen at a massive discount to the Americans while they refine it and sell the finished product back to us at a premium. No more begging for pipeline capacity. No more watching our own oil get bottlenecked and discounted because Ottawa spent years demonizing the very industry that could have made us rich. We could have had pipelines running east, west, and south, Energy East, Northern Gateway, a properly fast-tracked Trans Mountain that didn’t balloon into a multi-billion-dollar clown show. We could have had west-coast ports shipping our product straight to hungry markets in Asia instead of forcing 97% of our crude down a single leaky pipeline into the U.S. market where they set the terms. We could have built refineries here at home so Canadian families aren’t getting gouged at the pump while American refiners laugh all the way to the bank. But no. The Liberals, with their virtue-signaling, their endless environmental reviews, their Bill C-69 that basically made it illegal to build anything bigger than a lemonade stand, and their carbon tax that punishes every driver, trucker, farmer, and senior just trying to heat their home, chose ideology over infrastructure. They killed project after project. They delayed, they regulated, they virtue-posted on social media while the rest of us watched our lifeblood get siphoned off. And now? The Americans have us by the throat. They control the pipelines. They control the refining capacity. They buy our heavy crude cheap because we have nowhere else to send it, then sell us back gasoline and diesel at whatever price the market (and their profit margins) will bear. Every time global tensions spike or a refinery hiccup happens south of the border, we feel it immediately at the pump, while our own vast reserves sit there like a trapped gold mine we’re not allowed to fully develop. This isn’t bad luck. This is policy failure on a national scale. This is why your wife is cutting back on groceries. This is why the single mom down the street is choosing between gas money and rent. This is why truckers are idling their rigs because the numbers don’t add up anymore. This is why small businesses in every province are closing their doors. Energy is the foundation of everything, heating, transportation, manufacturing, food production. When you let ideologues strangle that foundation, the entire economy starts to crumble. And the worst part? The Liberals had the chance, hell, they still have the chance under Carney, to flip this script. To say “Canada first,” to fast-track the infrastructure, to partner with industry and Indigenous communities the right way, and to turn our energy advantage into real sovereignty and real prosperity. We could be the envy of the world instead of the cautionary tale. We could have 85 cent gas and a booming economy funding better healthcare, better roads, and actual climate innovation that doesn’t bankrupt families. But they chose the opposite. They chose the photo-ops, the international applause, the net-zero fairy tales while real Canadians get hammered at the pump and in the wallet. So the next time you’re standing at that gas station watching the numbers climb, remember this: it didn’t have to be this way. Canada didn’t have to be held hostage by American leverage. We could have been the energy powerhouse of the planet, rich, independent, and thriving. Instead we got weak leadership, neglected infrastructure, and a government that would rather lecture you about your carbon footprint than secure your future. Wake up, Canada. It’s time to demand better. Because at $2.00 a litre and rising, we’re not just paying at the pump anymore, we’re paying for decades of Liberal failure. And Luna and I are tired of watching good, hardworking people get stunned into silence while the country we love gets sold short. What do you think, am I wrong? Or is this the conversation we all need to be having before it’s too late?

I had to leave the legal practice to tell you guys the truth. Reconciliation is just a form of legalized extortion.

@MarcNixon24 Forrdy billllionnnn dallars….

Steven McKinnon announces Canada wants to take on Elon Musk and launch rockets into space This could be a $40 billion industry What’s your thought? Good or bad investment?

@Michaeach3 @LizaRosen0000 Definitely inbred, sociopathic behavior superiority complex makes him very dangerous to harm someone if engaged. Police are not recognizing this possibility and are hoping he just goes away from their position on the line. Police are fed up that they can not respond to the threat

🚨 Watch this Islamist at a rally openly call for the blood of Canadians. The police stood there and watched. This is how a country dies. Follow and share if you’re done pretending this is normal.

@CarymaRules 6 police to ask a senior woman to move her bicycle. Hahaha. Toronto is such a joke for allowing these Hamas walks to disrupt neighbourhoods and when one resident decides enough is enough the police step in and threaten her. This is Canada now?

WATCH: Local resident partially blocks the sidewalk with her bicycle as protesters march near Bathurst and Sheppard. One protester refuses to go around, insisting on continuing straight. Police warn of a possible ticket and order the woman to walk her bicycle back to the road. 📸 Apr 19, 2026 #Toronto #ProtestMania

@sarobertsonca I just gagged. Sickening and smells like corruption…

Former Conservative MP Marilyn Gladu rises for the first time as a Liberal during Question Period to a standing ovation.

Finland's president, who's been visiting Mark Carney for the past few days, went on CBC and suggested that Canada could join the European Union at some point in the future. What do you think of his idea?

@WeAreCanProud Fack no. All they would do is syphon off our resources because their’s are depleted. Have a good trading/safety agreement and nothing more.

@FrancesWiddows1 @Dallas_Brodie @thompsonriversu This occurred at a @UBC Faculty of Medicine event moderated by Derek Thompson, the Director of Indigenous Engagement. This person should be responsible for any statement made by Belleau. To not stop the conversation at that point is culpable.

Chief Charlene Belleau speaks about her interaction with me (and to some extent @Dallas_Brodie) @thompsonriversu: "I wish that our people could grab you [Frances Widdowson], drag you over to the Kamloops Residential School, put you into the basement, speak our language to you, nothing but @tkemlups, beat you, rape you, hurt you, and maybe you would understand what our people went through". This occurred at a @UBC Faculty of Medicine event moderated by Derek Thompson, the Director of Indigenous Engagement.

Crowds of Irish patriots gather outside government buildings as the protests roll into there 8th DAY. ÉIRE ABÚ 🇮🇪 TAKE A SECOND TO REPOST FOR THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND. GO RAIBH MAITH AGAT ☘️

@Tablesalt13 Average Canadian here. Bought house for $100,000 raised 3 kids there still live there 36 years. Estimated value of my house today is $350000 from agent. Small towns haven’t had the increases that you mentioned however I’m not complaining just a reality check. I’m not wealthy.

‼️Canadian boomers describe THE HELL of having to trim down their annual European trip from 6 weeks to 4 but thankfully, their second home in Mexico hasn't been affected as of yet. (this is ACTUALLY the story) The average Canadian boomer made a 900% gain on their family home.

@JustinTrudeau Hopefully Canadians can also reclaim Canada again. Our constitution has to be respected, it is not an option for govt.

Hungarians voted for change and a renewed commitment to democratic institutions after years of erosion under Viktor Orbán. A powerful and positive signal to democracies around the world that citizens can reclaim institutions and restore respect for rights.

Listen up, you smug, silver-tongued banker-turned-prime-minister Mark Carney, with your fancy Oxford degree, your Goldman Sachs résumé, and your Davos smile that looks like it was practiced in a mirror while counting other people's money! You stand up there in your suit, fresh off another jet to Switzerland, lecturing the world about a "rupture" in the old order. Oh, please. Spare us the poetry about the end of the "rules-based international order." We know what you're really selling: another layer of top-down control dressed up as progress. You and your crowd of unelected suits want us to believe we're all marching happily toward some shiny new global harmony where bureaucrats in air-conditioned rooms decide how we heat our homes, power our trucks, and run our lives. News flash, Mark: We're not. The average person isn't buying your net-zero fairy tale anymore. They've seen the bills pile up. They've watched energy prices spike while factories eye the exit. They've heard the endless sermons about "climate finance" and "transition plans" from guys like you who flew first class to tell them to eat bugs and turn off the lights. You spent years at the Bank of England and the Bank of Canada, then as UN climate envoy, pushing alliances and alliances and more alliances to redirect trillions away from reliable energy toward whatever wind-and-solar scheme sounds good on a PowerPoint.And now you're Canada's PM, scrapping the consumer carbon tax one day while still whispering about "generational investments" and coalitions of the willing the next. Classic move. Talk tough on sovereignty in one breath, then jet off to push "variable geometry" multilateralism—fancy words for "let's gang up on the big players and pretend it's not globalism with a new coat of paint." Here's the truth, delivered without the polite Canadian filter: Sovereign nations aren't dissolving into some borderless utopia. People want secure borders, affordable energy, and governments that put their own citizens first—not endless virtue-signaling pacts that punish the productive while the elites toast each other at cocktail hours. The world isn't heading for your "new order." It's heading for pushback. Real pushback from folks who are sick of being told their trucks, their farms, their jobs, and their choices are the problem. You can quote Havel and wax poetic about shop windows and lies all you want. But ordinary people see through it. They're not mourning the old system because they never fully trusted the glossy version you peddled. They want results: jobs that pay the bills, lights that stay on, and leaders who don't treat their country like a branch plant for international finance experiments. So take your rupture speech, your carbon clubs, and your middle-power coalitions, and stuff 'em. The people aren't lining up for the new world order parade. They're too busy trying to keep their heads above water in the real one where nations compete, energy is king, and no amount of Davos applause changes the fact that voters eventually say "enough." Wake up, Mark. The crowd's not cheering for your vision. They're waking up to it. And they're not moving in your direction. Not one damn inch.

Deputy Minister @NationalDefence in staff email says she will not resign or apologize after being censured for cronyism. Christiane Fox breached an Act of Parliament in the name of diversity to hire Black friend who'd previously worked at a Good Life gym. blacklocks.ca/no-resignation… #cdnpoli

@hollyanndoan @NationalDefence Total lack of accountability and morals in this case, she should resign or be fired. Incidents like this diminish trust in govt because she is ignoring policy and operational procedures and she is the head of her department. Really bad look for govt.

@HoCStaffer Not Canadian, eh!

Name this band. Wrong answers only.

They tell us to listen to the UN—then they put the Islamic Regime in Iran on a UN committee dealing with women’s rights and terrorism prevention. We ask France, UK, Germany, Spain, Norway, Netherlands, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, Austria, Finland: Have you no shame?

Fun facts: Patrick Pichette served on Twitter’s board of directors during a time period when many political dissidents - myself included - were banned. At the same time, he sat on the board of directors at the Trudeau Foundation. Elon Musk fired him.

@RealAndyLeeShow So as a parent who paid for my children’s education I would like to inform Pisshitte that he can fack off to whatever country he calls home. My children can go to whatever country that they choose and will have them. This liberal govt can cheer but can’t stop emigration in Canada
