@fsorbara @MarkJCarney Mr. Leave It In The Ground says what?

“We (🇨🇦) are an energy super power, the 3rd largest oil producer and 4th largest natural gas.” @MarkJCarney at the EU - Armenia Summit.

@RosieRocks28 The decision is already written.

He has investigated himself and found nothing wrong. When he overturns the rulings of 2 lower courts, it will be totally legit. 🙄

@canada_spends Gee, isn’t China usually low bid?

The federal government is highlighting their "Federal Contracts Review" stating that: "The government will no longer settle for a good price; Canadians deserve the best price." This conflicts with other government policies: - Buy Canadian Procurement Policy Framework - Mandatory 5% Indigenous Procurement Target with set-asides for indigenous companies - Industrial and Technological Benefits (ITB) Policy - National Shipbuilding Strategy All of these programs are trying to achieve goals other than getting the best price and include tradeoffs.

@Alacrity59 @DrJacobsRad Why does adding $25B to the already booming debt and subsequent interest payments not trouble you?

@DrJacobsRad Why does adding debt to this "very good idea" trouble you?

This whole concept is very troubling for me and should be for all Canadians. It's not that a sovereign wealth fund is not a good idea. It's actually a very good idea. The problem is that this isn't a sovereign wealth fund. Those are funded by surplus usually from natural resource extraction. Norway has one, and Alberta has one. Mark Carney is very smart and he knows exactly what he's doing. That's why I find this troubling. He's willfully misrepresenting what he's proposing. I expect more from a former central banker.

@MPelletierCIO It is a success if your metric is number of lake cottages procured.

Canada Infrastructure Bank (CIB), created in 2017 Mandate: co‑invest with the private sector in large, revenue‑generating infrastructure projects. Publicly stated capital envelope: $35 billion. $14.9billion deployed, less than 60% of the headline fund is expected to be deployed more than a decade after launch. There is no project‑level or portfolio IRR disclosure. No project‑by‑project returns No portfolio IRR

@MarcNixon24 That’s where he puts the floor crosser bribe money.

Why is his DESK BACKWARDS?

@ronmortgageguy The population of Luxembourg is just shy of 700,000. That's a rounding error compared to the US.

Here's How You Know You're Screwed: Trade With The USA Is Ruptured But Trade With Luxembourg Is Hot As Hell I am saving this one for nomination to the Dipshit Posts Hall Of Shame Luxembourg for the love of God

Can someone please explain, in very simple language, how growing almonds in a Californian desert, draining the local aquifer until the ground subsides, spraying the entire crop with fungicides because almonds can't survive without them, killing off the commercial bee population in the process, then refrigerating the harvest and shipping it six thousand miles to Britain is environmentally friendly, but buying a piece of beef from a farmer twelve miles down the road, whose cattle eat the grass that grows in the rain that falls on the hills that have been there since before anyone had opinions about this, is a planetary emergency? Asking for the cow.

@GG37374104 Nice to see you back Robin! Just wish things weren't still on a downward spiral.

His definition of national unity is for everyone to just agree with everything he says and wants to do. Sorry, can't do it.

@calgaryjohn403 @The_RealPatKing She was NDP but thanks for playing.

@The_RealPatKing How come you said nothing when Lori was a conservative…. But only care now that she is a liberal This type of smear campaign just shows the true colours of you and the rest of the ditch Billie’s

@johnkonrad I think we might have a couple of boxes of duct tape too.

You have: Zero carriers Zero destroyers 3 broken diesel subs 1 that kinda works maybe No navy-owned replenishment ships 2 semi-broken heavy icebreakers, built in 1966 and 1983, to patrol the longest arctic coast on earth Legacy CF-18s F-35s not coming for years, if ever More generals than working tanks 1/3 of your wokefighters are obese The head of your military is a woke English King Your top general cries on TV And you’ve completely pissed off your strongest ally. What exactly is the plan here Mark?

New Holland, Pennsylvania. February 1956.Harry deLeyer pulled up to the auction yard and knew immediately he was too late.The Dutch immigrant had driven from Long Island hoping to find a calm horse for his riding school—something gentle for beginner students. But the auction was over. The buyers had left. The only activity was a single livestock truck being loaded with the horses nobody wanted.These were the auction's leftovers: the old, the injured, the used-up. Their destination was the slaughterhouse.As Harry watched the loading, one horse turned its head. A grey gelding, coat matted with dirt, hooves worn down, scars marking years of hard labor. Probably a plow horse. Maybe ten years old, maybe older.But the eyes were different. Calm. Intelligent. Somehow still gentle despite everything.Harry walked over. "How much for the grey?""Eighty dollars."Harry paid it. The horse was pulled off the truck. Minutes from slaughter, now saved.He named him Snowman.Back at the Long Island farm, Snowman became exactly what Harry needed—a perfect beginner's horse. Patient with children. Steady. Safe. The students adored him.Then Snowman started escaping.Not breaking fences or squeezing through gaps. Jumping them. Four-foot fences, cleared easily, like he'd done it his whole life.Except he hadn't. He was a plow horse.Harry set up test jumps. Snowman cleared them willingly. Harry raised them. Snowman kept jumping. Higher and higher, with natural form that trainers spend years developing in expensive horses.This $80 rescue had the talent of a champion.Harry began serious training. It seemed absurd—show jumping was dominated by purebred horses from elite breeding programs, animals that cost thousands of dollars. Snowman was a grey mutt of unknown breeding, covered in the scars of farm work.But champions aren't always born in the expected places.Madison Square Garden. November 1958.The National Horse Show—the most prestigious jumping competition in America. The best horses, the wealthiest owners, the top trainers.And one former plow horse who'd been saved from slaughter two years earlier.Snowman won. Professional Horseman's Association Champion. National Horse Show Champion.In 1959, he won again.America couldn't get enough of the story. Life Magazine ran photo spreads. The Tonight Show invited them on. Newspapers across the country covered the impossible partnership—the immigrant trainer and the rescue horse who beat them all.It wasn't just the winning. It was what Snowman represented in 1950s America: that greatness could emerge from anywhere, that second chances mattered, that kindness could reveal hidden potential.Between competitions, Snowman continued giving lessons to children at Harry's school. A national champion who remained gentle enough for beginners. Extraordinary and ordinary, all at once.Snowman competed for several years, clearing jumps over seven feet, consistently beating horses worth fifty times what Harry had paid for him. When he retired, he lived peacefully at the farm, occasionally teaching, until his death in 1974.Harry continued training horses for decades, becoming one of America's most respected horsemen. But he never forgot his most famous partner.In 2015, when Harry was in his eighties, a documentary called "Harry & Snowman" captured their story. Harry's eyes still lit up talking about the grey gelding he'd pulled off a slaughter truck nearly sixty years earlier.Harry died in 2021 at age 93.Their legacy endures not because of championships or fame, but because of what the story teaches: that value exists where others see nothing, that potential hides in unexpected places, that a single act of kindness—$80 and a decision to look closer—can change everything.The horse nobody wanted became the champion everyone loved.All because one man arrived late to an auction and chose to see what others had missed.

@scoopercooper Must be time for Carney to find a new Auditor General.

Auditor General Finds Canada's International Student Program Overwhelmed by Fraud, With No Plan to Act on Those Who Cheated Their Way In thebureau.news/p/auditor-gene…

@scoopercooper @globeandmail Mustn't scare the voters ...

Major story - I’m the expert on this in North American journalism, but Lack of reporting from Canada surprises me. @globeandmail

@nspector4 Wonder if they’ll stay when they find out the house they want to buy is on stolen land and they might have to give it back.

“This hour has 22 minutes” (a legendary Canadian sketch comedy show) did a Pitt parody on the Canadian healthcare system. “Robby” using hand sanitiser every 10 seconds is taking me out 😂😂😂

SELF-DEFENCE: MP @RubySahotaLIB confirms the Liberal government will not support legal protections for Canadians acting in self-defence in the case of violent home invasion. "We don't want to create a system where people feel they have the right to shoot and kill somebody." 🇨🇦

“Alex I’ll take things you see at the end of the credit cycle for $1,000!”

Canada has a weird civilizational glitch where extreme restrictions on traditional vices like drinking and smoking exist right beside extreme permissiveness over radical progressive social decay. 24-hour taxpayer-funded crack pipe vending machines are normal but liquor stores shut down at 11pm. Anti-smoking laws are among the strictest on earth yet a doctor can legally euthanize you on the same day of your request. Puberty blockers for kids are treated as progressive healthcare that needs to be more accessible while they throw up huge barriers to access nicotine pouches. It’s the strangest inversion of priorities imaginable. Sometimes I think it’s a combination of Anglo Protestant moralism and bureaucratic socialism, but whatever the root cause, Canada manages to be simultaneously puritanical and nihilistic in a way that almost no other country is
