@PathosToWhack @pondering_patty @WhiteskInjun @Martyupnorth_2 Your example of economic productivity is a civil servant taking months to format information the government already possesses into a booklet a private company prints? How many times should we do this to eliminate the debt?

@nationalpost We knew this years ago, why is it all of a sudden in the news again?

Kamloops residential school 'graves' could have been septic pipes all along. Five years after the explosive announcement of 215 children's graves, the only way to know what's under the ground is to excavate, writes Tristin Hopper nationalpost.com/opinion/kamloo…

@rupasubramanya Investor sentiment isn’t an endorsement that something is good. I recently heard someone who manages billions of dollars describe Canada as potentially becoming slightly less awful, which makes it potentially attractive to invest.

For the first time, Canada overtook the U.S. as the most attractive destination for infrastructure investment among surveyed investors who manage about $1 trillion in investments. Capital is flowing back toward countries seen as politically stable, resource rich, energy secure, and strategically useful in a fractured world order. Canada suddenly matters again. giia.net/insights/pulse…

@wokal_distance Ignorance is a poor excuse. It just makes it more pathetic.

I do not think these guys realize the degree to which the conditions that allowed them to become successful and build a life in Canada have eroded

@MarkJCarney Gross

Solidarity, inclusivity, and equality. That’s what our Liberal Party stands for.

@grok @PierrePoilievre So @grok what is the actual cost for net-taxpaying families?

No, the $8,000 figure isn't adjusted for that. It's straight division: $90B Alto rail cost / ~11.1 million census families in Canada (StatsCan July 2025 data) ≈ $8,100 per family (rounded down). It's presented as an average tax-dollar burden across *all* families. But since it's tax-funded, net non-taxpayers (those receiving more in benefits/transfers than they pay in taxes) shift the full load onto net contributors—making the real per-family hit higher for them. The raw math holds as an unweighted average, though.

Thanks Erin. $90 billion, or $8,000 per family, in tax-dollars for a money-losing mode of transportation that will mean longer travel times than people now get by plane. Better to save the money to cut debt, taxes, and inflation.

@writeclimbrun @ID_not_detected That was false 20 years ago. There is no world in which this has not gotten worse.

@MarcMillerVM He is so moderate compared to where most Canadians are at.

Poilievre’s Conservatives pitting Canadians against asylum seekers is pathetic and needs to end.

@bruceanderson We’re not required to babysit the whole world. What sort of world would it be if places and people had to take responsibility for themselves? Much better.

What kind of person looks at the starvation and suffering in Cuba and decides we can't afford to send food, at all. What sort of world would it be, if "spend only on our 'own people' was the rule and no country ever helped another facing a crisis.

@acoyne Ah yes, noticing obvious things is disgraceful. Be less embarrassing.

@SeanFraserMP Charity is fine for the individual. You have no right to steal taxpayers money for your nonsense. Pay for it yourself.

People fleeing violence, war, and persecution deserve to be treated with compassion, not cruelty. This week’s Conservative proposal to deny health care to some of the world’s most vulnerable is offensive in the extreme.

Canadians have been oppressed, brainwashed and had the very soul crushed out of them over the last decade. The Trudeau government has captured the media to serve as their personal propaganda presstitutes, and has weaponized every institution of society to increase their power and wealth while destroying Canada's faith, families, history, culture, values and traditions. They've even used the military to unleash psychological warfare on their own citizens. They've imported millions of Third Worlders, and executed a machiavellian plan of anarcho-tyranny. All of this has left Canadians confused, angry, divided, and despairing. Most of them don't know what has hit them. They don't realize that they're involved in an all out ideological war, and that the other side is winning because their side doesn't even know the war is on.

@HMcPhersonNDP I thought this was a joke. You should be embarrassed.

Many Canadians, especially members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, are in Puerto Vallarta, where violence has quickly escalated. A shelter-in-place order is in effect. Please stay vigilant and consult the Government of Canada travel advisories for Mexico: travel.gc.ca/destinations/m…

It's funny watching Canadian legacy media wake from their stupor and wonder what happened "out of nowhere." Here's a quick list to help them gain a better understanding: 2016-Ongoing: Phoenix Pay System New federal payroll system. Costs quadrupled mysteriously. More costs to fix the quadrupled costs. Actual cost unknown because spending wasn't tracked. 2018: Chrysler Bailout Liberals wrote off a $2.6 billion loan to Chrysler for unknown reasons. No recovery of funds. 2020: WE Charity Contract $912 million student grant program contract awarded to WE Charity. Contract cancelled when Trudeau's family were found to be receiving payouts from WE. $30 million in initial costs unrecovered. 2020-2021: COVID-19 Relief Overpayments and Suspicious Benefits $27.4 billion in suspicious payments through programs like CERB and CEBA. $4.6 billion in overpayments, $1.6 billion to ineligible individuals, $6.1 million to prisoners, and $1.2 million to deceased people. $3.5 billion to ineligible CEBA recipients. Insider payments (corruption) and migrant housing accounted for another $1 billion. 2020-2021: Liberal Ventilators $237 million on 10,000 ventilators ($23,700 per ventilator) purchased from Frank Baylis, a Liberal MP. 2020-2021: Unaccounted Pandemic Spending $600 billion in unaccounted pandemic spending in 2020-21. 2021-2023: ArriveCAN App $59.5 million paid to Liberal insiders GC Strategies on an app hobbyists recreated over a weekend. Estimated real world development cost: $50,000. GC Strategies received $65 million across 106 contracts from 2015-2024 and produced nothing. 2015-2023: McKinsey & Company Contracts $209 million awarded to the Liberal insider corporation (Liberal ambassador to China, Dominic Barton was also managing director of McKinsey). Nothing of value was ever produced from this "partnership." 2015-2023: Infrastructure Projects Under Catherine McKenna $187 billion spent on 20,000 projects. Money was untracked and disappeared. No projects completed. 2018-2024: Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion $29 billion disappeared under Liberal management. 2021-2024: Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) $400 million misused through conflicts of interest (186 instances), with funds going to Liberal insiders' companies. Conservatives called it the "Green Slush Fund." 2023-2024: Firearms Buyback Program $67 million in costs. No guns recovered. 2023-2024: Electric Vehicle (EV) Battery Plants $270 million lost on one plant as part of a $30 billion commitment. 2024: Cricket Protein Plant $42 million lost on one facility. $61.9 billion deficit, $21.9 billion higher than projected. Interest costs $53.7 billion. $300 million on passport redesign. Plus billions funneled into Canada's perpetually failing state-funded media. And this is just what's documented. Who knows how much money was laundered and embezzled into offshore accounts over the last 11 years. During his time as Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau's personal net worth grew from $7 million to upwards for $400 million on a $400,000 per year salary. Canada might be poorer than Alabama but Mark Carney, Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party definitely aren't.

@DanMazierMP That number should be $0. No tax dollars to non-citizens in any way shape or form ever.

BREAKING NEWS The Parliamentary Budget Officer has confirmed that the federal healthcare program used by rejected and failed asylum claimants is projected to cost over $1.5 BILLION per year. This is far higher than what the Liberals have led Canadians to believe. Conservatives forced an investigation at the Health Committee into the Interim Federal Health Program, and now the independent PBO has exposed just how out of control the costs have become. Rejected asylum claimants are receiving supplemental benefits like physiotherapy, speech therapy, and home care while 6.5 million Canadians can’t find the basic service of a family doctor. Canadians are rightfully asking why rejected asylum claimants are getting better health benefits than they are. At committee, doctors testified that under the IFHP, doctors are charging up to five times provincial rates. This raises serious concerns that the program is being financially exploited with no oversight. The PBO will testify at the Health Committee today. More to come.

@CanadianPM Fuck off

The old order is not coming back. Nostalgia is not a strategy. From the fracture, we can build something better, stronger, and more just. Canada is choosing honesty, strength, and action. That’s our path.

Let me try to explain how retarded Canada is: Canada has race-based sentencing policies. Native criminals get shorter sentences because judges are REQUIRED to take "colonialism" into consideration in sentencing. Native men also kill native women at extremely high rates. And this has created an ideological paradox for Canadian libs, who are permanently confused as to why the killers of native women get disproportionately lenient sentences. Their explanation? Racism. The courts simply don't care about punishing the killers of native women. The actual reason? The "anti-racist" policies they pushed for which guarantee native men shorter sentences for killing native women. But we have to endure academics, journalists, and activists pretending not to know the actual reason why, and taking millions in taxpayer funds to "research" this great mystery every year.

@CTVNews Yes. Obviously.
