@TristinHopper Oddly common trend of people who don’t live in a particular place insisting that said place is the best place to ever exist and nobody should ever want to speak ill of or stop living in that place.

I feel like I should get a badge for being the rare commenter on Canadian affairs who actually lives here all the time.
English
@BagelPolling It really is sad how many people are basically immediately set up to fail in this country purely based on the fact they weren’t born sooner. It honestly feels like Canada was built as a playground for 1 or 2 specific generations and they just won’t stop hogging the swings.

In a society where 19% of the Federal budget is unfunded transfers to old people for being old and only 5.5% is transfers to families are we really surprised that our population doesn't have children? We have an intrinsic Ponzi scheme at the basis of our society.
English
@BagelPolling Verifiable proof right here that Canada operates on a very obvious two-tier justice system, and has for a long time. Despite this however, half the population has been conditioned to support this form of “reconciliation”, and call you a racist or a bigot for pointing it out.
English
Canadian courts are creating a whole new frontier of race science.

I swear Gladue reports are like the equivalent of crack for Canadian judges. "Listen Mr. Kuneyuna, you're not white! You're an Indigenous offender and you better start acting like one so I can get you back out on those streets!"

@DanielTyrie Country of origin should be, like, one of the most bare bones basic ass criterion when it comes to immigration.
English
We can pick and choose who gets to come here, and country of origin is a logical selection criteria.
Dominion Society of Canada@DominionSoc
It's actually completely reasonable to permanently block immigration from specific countries.

Happy Birthday Uncle A. Think about you every day big man. Fly high… fly high.

@BagelPolling Amazing to me that anyone ever thought cultures with such glaring differences could ever peacefully exist under a uniform set of societal values. It’s also part of the issue why foreign criminals get special treatment under a judicial system designed for only 1 specific culture.
English
Lukewarm take we should ban immigration from cultures who think honour killing is acceptable. We should also deport and denaturalize anyone who believes in honour killing.

@TristinHopper Because half the government is foreigners or bought and paid for by foreign interests.
English
Foreign criminals being given special treatment is easily one of the most outrageous things happening in Canada right now, and the outrage is extremely nonpartisan. So why aren't these dominating the coverage of anyone else?
English
There's one of these basically every day at this point, and they're really not hard to find. So you're allowed to wonder why the National Post is basically the only mainstream outlet in English Canada that ever covers them.

What's truly mind-boggling about all the debt is how it was wasted. Nothing was built. Nothing was improved. One of the greatest outlays of cash in the history of our species was squandered on nothing.
Tristin Hopper@TristinHopper
When I was 19, I though that if Canada just decided to blow out the budget with wartime deficits for a few years, we could pepper the landscape with infrastructure and be set for decades. We *did* blow out the deficit, and literally everything is worse everywhere forever.

The federal government must cut all funding to the University of Guelph until it respects the diversity of thought .
Ryan Gerritsen🇨🇦🇳🇱@ryangerritsen
Unbelievable. This girl has been banned from the University of Guelph campus FOR LIFE due to being in the vicinity of her family members conversation with a group of people. The Campus Safety Office felt that what they were talking about was sufficient enough to ban her & her family member from being anywhere on University of Guelph property forever. Canada is in trouble.

Technically all homes will get cheaper but I don't think the amount of multi-million dollar second homes is enough for the average joe to notice the difference.
English
Upsides: expensive high end homes in New York are about to get cheaper
Downsides: businesses that rely on wealthy customers are about to have a bad time and business owners who only live part time in NYC will probably stop doing as much business in New York.

If you can afford a multi-million dollar second home in New York City, you can afford to join its residents in supporting the greatest city in the world. nytimes.com/2026/04/14/nyr…

@DanielTyrie @GarnettGenuis Seems they care about every country except the one they were elected to care about.
English
@GarnettGenuis Perhaps you should focus a bit less on foreign countries and a bit more on Canada.

It’s great to be in Istanbul today for the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) Assembly.
As always, avoiding controversy.

@TristinHopper Are they trying to say Pierre is a worse leader because he… isn’t bribing them harder to stay than the Liberals are for them to flip?
We are falling into some real 3rd world government/political corruption scheme really fast and sadly a lot of people are clapping and cheering…

Good to see the media holding Prime Minister Poilievre to account. Democracy dies in darkness.

@BagelPolling Govt spends $1.5m tax dollars on a survey and study just to conclude that poor people are A) Not happy being poor B) Would prefer not to be poor
And unfortunately we are in an era where the govt would rather spend $20m trying to make poor people happier to be poor than not poor
English
How the political spectrum deals with the "some people are poor" question:
Far-left: what if we made everyone poor
Left: what if we made the middle class poor
Centre-left: what if we took a little bit from everyone and pooled it together
Centre: 50 page dissertation that summarizes to "lets do nothing"
Centre-right: what if we did more charity
Right: what if we cut taxes a lot
Far-right: what if we didn't care that some people were poor

🚨 NEW: Green leader Zack Polanski will call for policies to end the "affordability crisis" tomorrow - The introduction of a 10:1 pay ratio, whereby the highest-paid employee earns no more than ten times the lowest-paid - Free school meals for all primary and secondary pupils - Universal energy bill support for households and stronger rent controls - A customs union with the EU to cut business costs
English
@BagelPolling He needs to drop the “catchy slogan” crap. Honestly it seems like all he does now is just repeat quippy dumb slogans and slide further down the Liberal side of the spectrum to try and flip unflippable voters, all while alienating more and more of whatever remains of his base.
English
Well after being humbled in 3 byelections it good to see the party pivoting to a better campaign strategy - oh wait.
Pierre Poilievre@PierrePoilievre
Liberal taxes on gas are the reason prices are so much higher in Canada than in the U.S. Today, Carney Liberals offered a fraction of that back to overtaxed motorists, leaving almost two-thirds of federal gas taxes in place for two-thirds of this year. Mark Carney is just another Liberal. More taxes. More costs. More of the same.

@Truth_matters20 To deny Christ’s birth is to deny the hypostatic union, to deny his fully human nature. If Christ (as you imply) wasn’t fully human, then his suffering and sacrifice on the cross for the sins of humanity (including you) are invalidated.

God has no mother. Mother implies beginning. God is eternal.
I don't care what some council said.
Jessica — Meek & Wild@swamthetiber25
Mary is not the mother of the Father. Mary is not the Mother of the Spirit. Mary is the mother of the Son- who is fully God. Mary is the mother of God. This was settled in the council of Ephesus in the 400s.
