@brianlilley @JustinTrudeau This guy runs on privilege. Never having worked a hard day in your life doesn't actually make you leadership material. I imagine he is surprised every time there is backlash for something he has done. He will lose the next election, wondering how the people could be so stupid.

@weedwatcher80 @BoringBattlecry @FoodProfessor And that still costs you tax money to pay for bloated windbags....

@LeePerrin18 @BoringBattlecry @FoodProfessor Gov has the reverse Midas Touch. Everything THEY touch turns to shit. Name 1 thing the government does well, cheap, efficient. Only thing I can’t think of is they’re good at lying gaslighting and stealing more and more fucking money from the working class.

10 years ago, Canadians would have laughed at the idea of government-run grocery stores. Today, we’re seeing op-eds now trying to convince Canadians why it’s not a good idea. The fact that some need convincing is incredibly troubling.

@Concern70732755 No. But I'm pretty sure someone told him to believe.

Do any of you actually believe his statement?

@BoringBattlecry @FoodProfessor That's what I see happening as well. A bureaucratic money sucker that won't do anything but spend our taxes. Government has a poor track record on running anything. Don't advocates know what a deficit is? Don't they realize how much of a shitshow this will inevitably become?

Guess "real communism" hasn't been quite tried yet so we need another go around. Lets see how it pans out this time. With margins being around 4% at the most optimistic, Canadians spending 500$ for groceries will save a mindblowing 20$. In exchange to pork-barrel stores, which will rapidly be unionized and then it'll become a net loss because money will have to be put in from the tax payer base.

@Heardbeast @BrooksGoodman81 @MooreintheAM @TristinHopper At the end of the day, it was all for politics. Don't forget about the by-election in QC coming up. Both the bloc and the libs are hopping on the "offended for French speakers" victimhood train to see if there are votes to be dredged. Crass political hypocrisy at its finest.

@BrooksGoodman81 @MooreintheAM @TristinHopper Nope. He didn't have to say anything. He could have got one of his smooth-talking apparatchiks to do it. In French. He thought he was doing the right thing, and he got shit on by Quebec politicians, swiftly followed by Ottawa politicians. None of them offered condolences.

I'm boarding a flight between two Western Canadian cities with French-speaking populations of less than 4% each. And, by law, the entire procedure has to be bilingual. Until last week, it had never occurred to me that this policy may have helped innoculate Canadians for a whole host of other dumb government rituals that they know are pointless.

What do you think historians will write about this time in Canadian history? Will it be an enlightened time filled with equity & common sense? A time when laws were tightened to enable gov control? Is it a historic time where Canada worked to become a proxy for China? The US?

@Millermiller115 @TheBuckYouWill And I would bet the last name will be of a French persuasion. It's unimaginable you can fk up a good man's life to sew political favor. Our system is 100% geared to kefp power. Votes are top priority, dam any morals, dam the rules. Canada doesn't even work on paper anymore.

@TheBuckYouWill I suspect Carney has someone ‘special‘ to recommend as CEO of Air Canada.

💥YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED TODAY, RIGHT?💥 Air Canada just forced their CEO Michael Rousseau to retire this year - record profits, turned the company around after COVID, but apparently not good enough. His crime? Sending an English-only condolence message after the deadly New York crash. Meanwhile, Governor General Mary Simon (Quebec-born, years of taxpayer-funded French lessons) still can't speak proper French and gets a free pass. This is peak Canadian bullshit. Bilingualism is mandatory... unless you're connected enough. Performance, safety, results? Irrelevant. Speaking the "right" language (or not) is what actually matters to these elites. If the CEO of Canada's biggest airline gets cancelled for English, but the King's representative doesn't have to bother - then the whole official languages scam is a fucking joke designed to control regular Canadians. Fire the hypocrisy, not the competent people. How much more of this two-tier clown show before we say enough?

@echipiuk Well stated.

I can’t even anymore… How many embarrassing Canadian moments have gone viral this week alone? An NDP convention consumed by ideological posturing, where purity tests matter more than practical solutions for Canadians. An awards show, the Junos, that felt less like a celebration of music and more like a publicly funded service announcement, pushing messaging instead of showcasing artists. And now, in the middle of a fatal aviation tragedy, the national conversation shifts from pilot deaths to language politics. At some point, you have to ask: What are we actually prioritizing? Because this is not a distraction anymore. It’s a pattern. We are choosing optics over reality. Narratives over facts. Performative debates over serious issues that actually affect people’s lives. And if we can’t even focus on loss of life without turning it into a political talking point, then something is deeply off. Not just with our institutions, but with us. Because if we can’t tell what matters anymore, we shouldn’t be surprised when nothing does.

@BigGsPage333 @ggrmcd But, but, but he's not the only spokesperson for the government, lol. So much arrogance, so little to show for it.

@ggrmcd Accountability is the problem with your statement. Question period is there to hold the government to account, and when the PM is not there, he can't be held accountable.

Good. He has other things to do. Besides the conservative don’t take question period seriously. They scream and yell and heckle and pull ridiculous stunts instead. Carney doesn’t need to be there for that.

@DoctorDee1 @ggrmcd Right on, Dale. A sign he has bigger fish to fry than the Canadian rinky dink parliament, and he should jet off to Europe where there is a nice, fine line of aristocracy he enjoys. Our little wanna be monarch likes the pomp & ceremony but can't put in the work. Trudeau 2.0

@ggrmcd If Carney would answer questions he wouldn't be heckled. But he has a very fragile ego..that's a sign of insecurity.

@TimSippel2 @PierrePoilievre Ya, Mike Dawson from NB. I was hoping it would start a trend. 😆😆 All parties & levels of gov in Canada need to be reined in, have rules set for less spending, and face real consequences for rule breaking. We can't keep going like this. It's time for a change.

@LeePerrin18 @PierrePoilievre I believe one con is refusing the raise ...

Carney Liberals are increasing taxes on beer, wine, and spirits without a parliamentary vote on April 1. That means higher prices for workers and more costs for our local brewers, wineries, and distillers. Sign to join Conservatives and scrap this automatic tax hike: conservative.ca/cpc/kill-the-h…

@Catheri92471522 @PierrePoilievre Apparently, you don't. Inflation adjustment example would be a wage or contract increase to COUNTER inflation, not a yearly jump in taxes to INCREASES inflation, which is what this does. If you can't figure that out, I can't help you. As for trolls, look in the mirror.

@LeePerrin18 @ForMYCanada @PierrePoilievre Thats ok...the rest of us understand what "adjusted for inflation" means. We also know that if it hadn't been adjusted for inflation, you trolls would be all over him for THAT!

@ForMYCanada @Catheri92471522 @PierrePoilievre I love how you keep saying "adjusted for inflation" like that means something. Taxes can't be adjusted for inflation. Prices of goods go up BECAUSE of inflation. Adding more tax INCREASES inflation. Unless you mean adjusted to ratchet up inflation. Then I just wonder, what? 🤔

Exactly! Automatic is the key word. It means this isn’t a new tax hike dreamed up overnight. It’s a pre-existing formula adjusting for inflation, the same way it’s done every year. You can disagree with the policy, but framing it like Mark Carney just suddenly raised taxes without a vote is misleading. Call it what it is: an automatic adjustment built into the system.

@WayneMathison @coreyhoganyyc Yes, you're correct. Somebody did need to explain to Corey the difference between market stresses and taxes and that they are not th same thing. It's almost like politicians are only talking heads with little or no real knowledge about... anything, really.

Hogan’s framing sounds reasonable until you notice what he leaves out. Yes, Canada has often had higher gas prices than the U.S. That’s not controversial. Smaller market, different distribution patterns, and yes, taxes have always played a role. Fine. That’s the starting point, not the conclusion. The real issue is what drives the gap today. Oil is priced globally. Canada and the U.S. both buy and sell into the same market. So when there’s a persistent difference at the pump, it shows up downstream, after the raw price is set. That means refining, transportation, and policy. And that’s where the divergence happens. Canada layers multiple fuel taxes, including carbon pricing, on top of existing excise taxes. We’ve constrained pipeline development, which forces more expensive transport methods. Regulatory delays make it harder to expand refining and infrastructure. Each step adds cost, and those costs compound before the fuel reaches consumers. So when Hogan says recent tax changes have “nothing to do with it,” that doesn’t hold up. Taxes are not a one-time factor frozen in history. They are ongoing inputs that directly affect price. The chart he shares shows the size of the gap over time, but it doesn’t explain why that gap persists or what policies influence it. Describing the gap as “low” historically doesn’t answer whether it should exist at all, especially for a country with abundant energy resources. Pierre Poilievre’s argument is straightforward: if two countries face the same global oil prices, then differences at the pump reflect domestic choices. That’s the key point. This isn’t about denying history. It’s about asking whether current policy is helping or hurting affordability. If Canada wants lower energy costs, it has to look at the decisions it controls, not just the patterns it inherited.

Hi Pierre, Gas in Canada has been higher priced than gas in the U.S. my entire life - for lots of reasons including market size, economies of scale and, yes, taxes. But it has nothing to do with any recent tax changes. In fact, a gap of 18% would be among the lowest on record.

@TimSippel2 @PierrePoilievre AGREED!! Tieing cost of living increases (for us) & decreases (for politicians) to an arbitrary date without debate or vote is taxation with zero representation for one, slippery greasy move for the other. Why don't the cons set on example & refuse the raise on April 1?

@PierrePoilievre How about canceling the automatic raise gor MP's ?

@JamesPGoddard90 I don't care who it is. People getting tasered is hilarious 😂

MIGRANT TASERED IN CENTRAL LONDON This was hands down the funniest video of 2025 “Why you speaking for me”

@OneNation70290 @WiseConservativ @dailyglimps24 No, with an anvil and a 3lb hammer. "Just jump up on the bed here, sir. Nurse Ratchett, get him a blindfold. I'm going to ask you not to squirm as you lift your legs into the fetal position and feel cold steel on the testes." Then 2 mighty swings, 1 splat, 1 CLANG, done. "Next!"

@WiseConservativ @dailyglimps24 With a blunt pair of scissors

🚨Italy is causing an uproar after drafting laws to castrate rapists and pedophiles so they can NEVER reoffend or reproduce. Critics are calling it "state sanctioned torture." Is this torture or justice?

@niuqapimiar @TripBayless_ @MEKowalski @Prominent_Bryan Well said. The 2 language debate and the specific Carney political vote grab revolve around hypocrisy. The families & friends of the pilots will not be giving 2 shits about this debate while dealing with trajedy & devastation. May these 2 young men rest in peace.

@TripBayless_ @MEKowalski @Prominent_Bryan Quebec has people going around removing bilingual signs, are trying to restrict access to bilingual services as much as possible but suddenly when someone part of the private sector only speaks in English, they appeal to the bilingual nature of Canada.

If you're an anglo and you don't understand the frustration, you are just very ignorant about 25% of your country

@cbcwatcher @ezralevant Carney is quick to learn being in that political pressure cooker called Ottawa. He learned liberals never let a good tragedy get in the way of scoring political points. It's even better than a photo op. He sounds just like a pandering asshole politician now! Good for him!!

Carney conveys his displeasure that the message of condolence conveyed to Air Canada crash victims and families by the CEO had no verbal French translation "I am extremely disappointed by the message released by the CEO of Air Canada. It shows a lack of compassion." As he walks away you can hear him being asked why he himself has no French-speaking speechwriter Doesn't the lack of a Francophone speechwriter demonstrate a similar compassion shortage? And two pilots are dead and the media is obsessively focused on a language gotcha? @MarkJCarney

@mario4thenorth You know these guns are either Grandpa's old squirrel shooter rusting behind the freezer or from a person, so confused and scared by gatekeeper gun laws they didn't know they could legally sell them to a PAL holder. Confuse, deflect, and divide. It's the government's game plan.

🚨 Gun buyback numbers are in. They’re embarrassing. $800 MILLION SPENT. Only 32,000 firearms collected ~$25K per gun. They told us it’d cost $200 million. The Cape Breton pilot? 25 guns. Twenty five. They should have canceled it then. Between 1.6% and 6% of prohibited firearms have been declared. The rest? Still out there. Multiple police forces REFUSED to participate: OPP, Brantford, Toronto, Halton, and the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. The only embarrassment I’ve see is Waterloo that said they’d participate. Their own Public Safety Minister was recorded saying he’d scrap it if it were up to him. And here’s what makes it indefensible: 90% of guns used in crimes in Ontario are illegally smuggled from the United States This program touches ZERO of those guns. Licensed firearm owners in Canada are vetted daily by the RCMP. The problem is smuggled guns, gang violence, and a border that leaks. $800 million to punish people who were never the threat. And not a single dollar to stop the guns actually killing Canadians. Political theatre at its finest. All led by one person. One MP. From Quebec. The Minister of Safety is just a puppet.

@gator_gum @realfinkledusty The question remains: What is your argument?

@realfinkledusty Seems like something I didn't even remotely say is "my argument." Okay, cool.

First, that's not how one uses Fentanyl, secondly, the Mayor of Toronto was caught doing the exact same thing and these guys didn't even bat an eye.
