@TristinHopper Canada being captured by radicalized dotards is not something I would have predicted a decade ago.

To see one's nation dismantled by clapping, low-info geriatrics is probably the most potent part of this humiliation.

@eugyppius1 @BorealBaron I visited Spain last summer. Lovely place but holy hell I stopped at a service station near the ferry to Tunisia and it was like landing in another world. Hundreds of migrants. I can’t imagine it happening at scale.

The absolute worst thing about the EU/Schengen is you only need one lunatic member state to do something like this and then it becomes everybody's problem.

@TristinHopper Love on stolen land knows no border.

Avoiding travel to the U.S., much like carbon emissions, was only ever a sacrifice for other people.

@xwanyex Weirdly enough he may face systemic barriers on his first choice only.

My five-year-old son wanted to know if he’s allowed to be three things when he grows up: 1) a daddy 2) a ferry boat captain 3) an Amazon package man

I'm not heavily invested in Orban or Hungarian politics, but it seems to me that the ascendancy of Péter Magyar and the centre-right Tisza Party is actually a win for populism. Sure, Orban is gone. But what took his place is something "right-wing", not progressive, and conservatism may have been cemented rather than discarded.

We were sold the garbage idea that your home was a typical commodity that could be used to fund your retirement. But housing markets are cyclical like other markets. My own parents have had their home on the market for over two years trying to "fund their retirement". If you don't like the fact that the market is correcting, don't blame the guy who is happy that his grown up kids might actually be able to live nearby, blame the guys like Carney who hyper-inflated the market with perpetual low interest rates, immigration and "quantitative easing". They are the ones who got us into this mess.

@postpostmoderne @KirkLubimov Must be nice able to afford to lose 60 to 80 % of your home equity….guessing you have a large diversified investment portfolio to fund your retirement

British Columbia's real estate is in trouble; > oldest population in Canada > lowest fertility rate > people leaving the province That was before all the land claims. Clamping down on money laundering will bring down prices even faster. Without external influx of people prices should be coming down every year, which begs the question: why buy this year if next year will be cheaper? Every year the number of listings should start growing and price competition will accelerate when people realize what's happening.

I don’t hate Carney at all for his ties to the US. I hate him for his hypocrisy and for instilling fear and loathing into my boomer parents while he reaps personal and political rewards.

@FistedFoucault Dude put legal pressure on Dan Snaith to change his electronica moniker from Manitoba to Caribou.

Dick Manitoba

Missed this awkward moment 😬

So Carney is saying that Brookfield is moving back to Canada, right?

@thewarylemming @Aaronpete_ It's literally a repost of a video clip with no editorial. Your partisan brain is more dangerous than quote posting a benign primary source.

@Aaronpete_ Starting a post while referencing "Juno news" is disqualifying. They're not a real news organization - they're propaganda. Says a lot about you that you are following and quoting them

Here’s my issue. If you were crossing the floor as an honest person, you’d layout your reasons, and act with humility that this is controversial, and try to get as much public support as possible and try to justify your decision. What we’re seeing is a political class making jokes about it, making light of it, and not taking concerns for Canadians about this seriously. Even if you think it’s legitimate to cross the floor, surely, you cannot defend the poor decorum these individuals are showing. Then, I see the people speculating as to why there’s so many, and some raising questions about incentives being offered, pressure being put on, and back room deals being made. The public absolutely has a right, and perhaps a duty to speculate when our concerns are not being treated with respect and being answered candidly. If the goal, is to achieve a majority government, which it obviously is, then they are doing so by trying to avoid going to the constituents to seek that mandate. If 10 MPs are considering crossing, then we should just do an election. I think this is indefensible at this stage. As a First Nations Chief, I seek the mandate from my people, and for those who don’t like the decision our leadership makes, I seek to address their concerns. I am not seeing that response from this government, and for that I am extremely disappointed and concerned.

@howardanglin @polanskydj Couldn’t get a bottle in BC at Christmas time. Ended up sending my brother in Ontario a bottle of Michter’s from my own stash. Is BC stocking it again?

@polanskydj All my local liquor stores in BC and Alberta?

Immigration good. Emigration bad.

@FistedFoucault Peak British females.

"Blessed are the Aintree Slappers, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven."

I'm a lawyer and a member of the CBA. The entire profession has been overrun by over-educated activist upwardly mobile careerist liberal women who sincerely believe that "gender issues, racial equality, equity and diversity" are completely uncontroversial unquestionable consensus issues, their understanding of which constitutes the ideal form of "human behavior". A huge proportion of the communication that lawyers receive from the CBA and their professional regulators focuses on these issues, instead of, say, actual lawyering.

@nationalpost Female judge appointed by the Liberals in 2024 with a focus on “gender and diversity”.

@RitaKarakas @jamiljivani @colewhogan He’s talking about you awfl.

@jamiljivani @colewhogan You are incredibly disingenuous, and your relationship with the Trump government and the president in waiting is not the asset you think. Two more points your Bible stunt in the House and your mini Eric tour tells Canadians all needed to know about you , your party @jamiljivani

Stop trying to please your insincere Liberal detractors. To them, the only good Conservative is one who poses no threat to Liberal power and control. My message to Canada's conservatives movement: torontosun.com/opinion/column…

@JoshDehaas They have no compunction taking huge sums of cash from public institutions because to them public institutions are the only legitimate ones.

UBC hired NDP Leader Avi Lewis and his wife Naomi Klein as professors even though neither has a master’s or PhD. Lewis was paid $92,000 in 2024-2025. He taught one course. Klein was paid $277,000. She taught a graduate seminar & co-taught a second-year course.

@yuanyi_z Oof. It’s hard to come back from that.

I can't believe I spent hours of my life rewriting the illiterate memos Marilyn Gladu sent out. I could have bashed my head against a wall instead.

@timthielmann @TheReclamare Any successful claims to public lands should also be valued as they were at the time of dispossession. There is no reason to compensate bands for colonial improvements to the land and its surroundings.

Shocker: Poilievre won’t show leadership by calling for constitutional amendments to extinguish aboriginal title. He’s just chasing the hysteria over private property. He should promise to end every aspect of the reconciliation power land, and money grab.
