@jasonjamesbnn Makes you want to fly the white flag. Frankly, the liberal agenda is bizzare. I fail to see how one profits from Canada falling apart, but clearly, it's part of the plan. I'm glad the adults replaced Trudeau's wedding party. It's so much better now. Elbows up.

Geez... It's almost as if US Trade Representative Rick Switzer read my post on X a few days ago and used that as his answer to the question of the US and Canada's deteriorating relationship. But probably not. More than likely he has access to a MAP and understands basic geography. I'd imagine he may have also Googled the US-Canada trade history before this press conference and learned that our trade relationship was the strongest of any two nations in the world. It is entirely possible that Mr. Switzer is a rational human being who has a general comprehension of not only geography, but also demographics and economics—you know, with his being a trade representative and all. Or maybe not. Maybe he's an agent of Trump who was sent to destroy Canada and everything he says here is just MAGA Nazi conspiracy theories. I mean, Mark Carney is a central banker after all! He totally wasn't the guy who brought Britain's economy to near total collapse. (He was) Elbows up, retards!

@_The_Prophet__ Spent the future on a suv, fancy dress and a big mortgage. What a sad error.

⚡ The woman in that photo is being used as a political prop by the NYT and she probably doesn't even know it. The framing wants you to feel outrage at the cruelty of the cuts. But the actual data point buried in the story is devastating to the narrative it's trying to build. 272k for a senior VP at a USAID-funded nonprofit is not a real salary. It's a subsidy. That job existed inside a closed loop: taxpayer money flows to USAID, USAID funds NGOs, NGOs hire professionals at inflated rates, those professionals build lives around compensation that was never stress-tested against the open market. The entire salary was a function of proximity to the spigot. Not output. Not value creation. Not demand for her specific skills. The $19/hour number isn't the system being cruel. It's the system being honest for the first time. The market is saying: without the government funding stream, your skills at 57 command 39k. That's the real price. The 272k was the fiction. And here's what nobody in that thread will say: there are tens of thousands of people in the DC metro area alone sitting in exactly this position right now. Government-adjacent professionals whose entire compensation structure was built on a funding model that is being unwound. Not by AI, not by automation, but by simple political reallocation. And the market is going to reprice every single one of them. The deeper pattern is that an entire class of professional jobs in America were never real market jobs. They were artifacts of institutional spending that created its own employment ecosystem. Government, corporate middle management, DEI departments, compliance layers, consulting firms that exist to service other consulting firms. The whole structure was a series of jobs that existed because the money existed, not because the work needed doing at that price. That structure is now being compressed from multiple directions simultaneously. AI from one side. Spending cuts from another. Corporate efficiency mandates from a third. And the professional class that built its identity, its mortgages, its kids' tuitions, its retirement plans around those salaries is about to discover what the open market actually thinks they're worth. That's the repricing. This woman is just the first photo to go viral.

@MarcNixon24 I, for one, would like to hear the offer. I'd also like to hear what Mr. Carney can counter with. Sadly, the Forever Canada sales pitch has lacked anything beyond orange man is bad. Give me 5 USD for each of my loonies? I'd listen to that.

Jason Kenney is concerned Donald Trump is going to bribe Albertans with CASH to vote for independence.

@AlecMacGillis I wonder if she tried learning to code. It's a shame, though. I'm sure the market is bloated with overpaid and under qualified middle management people with similar stories.

"Sheryl Cowan, 57, was making $272,000 a year as a senior VP at a U.S.A.I.D.-funded nonprofit when she was let go at the end of March 2025. Last month she had an online interview for a $19-an-hour job managing a Penzeys Spices store in Falls Church, Va." nytimes.com/2026/04/21/us/…

@MelissaLMRogers I might give them a call. Appreciate the heads up.

HOLY CRAP 🇨🇦 this immigration Law Firm is having to cancel in person information events here in Canada 👀 because they are receiving THREATS & even death threats, because they are helping Canadians relocate to the United States. A lot of angry Canadians out there

@RealAndyLeeShow I appreciate you!

Sometimes, I wonder why I am on this platform. There is a lot of ugliness on here. Sometimes though, there are wonderful things too. One of those things is that all the madness brought us all together, and I'm thankful for that everyday. Almost everyday, anyways.😂 I've met so many incredible people on here, and been given so many (totally insane!) opportunities I never dreamt of, and have received so much support. If you feel the same way and you are in or around YYC, feel free to join us this Friday at the Station Pub in Riverbend at 7:30 PM. We are stronger together! 🇨🇦

@RealAndyLeeShow The grift isn't going to fund itself.

For anyone wondering if the Canadian Anti-Hate Network was pulling the same hate hoax stunts as their affiliates and funders at Southern Poverty Law Centre - the director once “discovered” an anti-Semitic flyer during the Ottawa protests. Only problem is - it was from Miami. Credit: @jonkay

@fordnation @wolfblitzer Nice airplane, bro.

I’ll be joining CNN’s @wolfblitzer at 11:30 AM to make clear that the only way for the U.S. to get its alcohol back onto Ontario shelves is to drop its tariffs on Canada.

I just honestly don’t even know what is happening here anymore. Schizophrenic found criminally insane on three counts of attempted murder was given three week travel pass for a pilgrimage to Mecca with his father, and to see a potential bride his father found for him in Somalia.

@ryangerritsen Safe and effective.

This is how you psyop an entire nation. This is a fear campaign to keep Canadians compliant & willing to go along with his agenda. He knows exactly what he’s doing when he repeatedly says “ in a dangerous and divided world”

@govt_corrupt Old stock Canadians are an unpleasant relic and are replaceable. We were told the plan and ignored the realization. It doesn't matter if it's Montreal, Brampton, Calgary, or Vancouver. 100 million Canadians by 2100 is impossible without mass immigration. Elbows up.

Canada was a much better place 10y ago, when we weren't being overrun by 3rd world invaders. Now, everywhere I look, fucking Indians. Go to the park, swarmed by Indians. Go to a restaurant, Indians. Driving down the road, everyone I see is fucking Indian. I'm sick of it.

@unacceptfringe Why is he in his car?

Anyone listening to a dude wearing pink with a turtleneck should get their head examined.

@LauraBabcock @LukaszukAB Who does an interview from their car?

“It’s a perfect storm: Premier quarterbacking for separatists, US President calling us a 51st State and an organized movement! If you think this Alberta crying wolf again NO! They can win this thing.” @LukaszukAB on real risk to 🇨🇦 youtu.be/YeY-tRGrta8?si… #cndpoli #Ableg #AB

@Wheelevolution @JeromyYYC The money isn't going to spend itself.

Why @JeromyYYC is the priority to clear a basketball court on a snow day with 6 people and it’s STILL snowing? Managers not managing. Wasting our money and safety not a priority? #yyc #yyccc

@david_parker I'm with you and all that. It would help the message if you spent more time uncoving the actual rot within the system. I'm not sure what you are trying to sell anymore.

There are two Canadas. There is the one the Boomers live in, where their homes are paid off, they go to their cottages, their homes have increased in value to insane levels. These people love Mark Carney. Then there is the rest of us, who are watching the entire system collapse.

@KirkLubimov It's all a big joke for some.

The floor crossing MP Marilyn Gladu rises as a Liberal in the House of Commons giddy reading a question that sounds like it was written by CBC. Yes, how is the gov lowering costs for essentials?

@KirkLubimov It's clearly all just a big grift. At the least, they should all face charges of fiscal mismanagement.

Oh ffs 💸 Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand announces that Canada will be sending Sudan $120M new funding. Every single penny is new debt on top of record deficit. While record Canadians are using the foodbank. When will they care about the humanitarian crisis in Canada?

@Martyupnorth It went exactly as needed....sunny ways part 2.

Nothing to see here folks.

@ronmortgageguy The Globe has always featured people such as this in their "investing" articles. The target audience is such that it makes sense. It does speak to the decline of our dollar if these people are making cuts. Canada is probably finished.

Some Of My Fellow Boomer Are Just Entitled Rat Bastards: These Dipshits Are Crying About Fewer Weeks Vacation In Europe Should we be mad at Boomers like this? We absolutely should! This illustrates just how oblivious to the Real World some Boomers can be It's sickening 2/

@Tablesalt13 The biggest fear of the wealthy is going broke. As funny as it might be, I bet these two are silently terrified about the erosion of their spending power. Welcome to the first post Nation State or whatever we call Canada these days.

‼️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.
