La crise de l’antisémitisme au Canada aujourd'hui exige une réponse ciblée. Elle exige également que nous élevions tous la voix avec indignation et défiance lorsque nous sommes confrontés à l’horreur de l’antisémitisme.   Parce que le Canada promet de permettre aux Canadiennes et Canadiens de confession juive de s’afficher en tant que tel visiblement, sans ambages et avec joie dans la vie publique.  stoppingantisemitism.com/fr/

@MarkJCarney Diversity is not a strength. The "D" in DEI is anti-white.

Canada’s founding insight is that unity does not require uniformity. This is neither myth nor miracle, but a series of choices, made imperfectly, across generations.    On Canadian Multiculturalism Day, we celebrate the diversity that defines our national character: pm.gc.ca/en/news/statem…

DERNIÈRE HEURE : J'ai écrit au président du Comité de l’éthique pour demander une enquête d'urgence sur les condominiums subventionnés par les Canadiens. On doit faire la lumière sur qui a fait pression pour obliger monsieur et madame Tout-le-Monde à financer des donateurs milliardaires et des gens bien connectés au Parti libéral. On va continuer de tout faire pour empêcher le club libéral de s'enrichir en vous appauvrissant.

Tomorrow’s match between Canada and South Africa will be the first time both countries are competing in a knockout match at the World Cup.   Today, I spoke with President Cyril Ramaphosa about the upcoming game, and how we can build on Canada and South Africa’s strong relationship: pm.gc.ca/en/news/readou…

@MarkJCarney In June, 🤡 Carney "forged" a $3.2 billion debt funded bailout of BC's condo developers and called it "affordable housing". 😱

BREAKING: I’ve written to the Ethics Committee Chair calling for an urgent investigation into Carney’s condo bailout. Who lobbied to force people who can’t afford groceries to bail out billionaire Liberal donors and powerbrokers? We are fighting to stop the Liberal Club from getting richer by making you poorer.

@MarkJCarney 😱 Mark Carney lies a lot: x.com/wealthmoose/st…
wealthmoose@wealthmoose

🚨 10 years ago in Canada: 📌 5-year fixed mortgage rate: 2.85% 📌 Average home price: $431,000 📌 Down payment (20%): $86,200 📌 Monthly payment: $1,608 Today in Canada: 📌 5-year fixed mortgage rate: 4.49% (best discounted rate)  📌 Average home price May 2026: $702,079  📌 Down payment (20%): $140,416 📌 Monthly payment: $3,091 THE DAMAGE 👇 📌 Down payment increase: +$54,216 more cash needed upfront 📌 Monthly payment increase: +$1,483/month 📌 92% increase in monthly carrying cost 📌 63% increase in cash needed before you even get a mortgage And that’s the BEST case scenario. 👆 The stress test rate today? 📌 6.49% — meaning you must QUALIFY at that rate even if your actual rate is 4.49%  To qualify for the average Canadian home today you need: 📌 Household income of $140,000+ 📌 Canada’s median household income: $70,000 The average Canadian earns exactly half of what they need to buy the average home. 📌 33% of Canadian mortgage holders renewing in 2026 face payment increases averaging 20%.  They didn’t buy a more expensive house. They didn’t change jobs. They didn’t move. The policy changed. And now they’re paying $1,483 more. Every month. Forever. The US version of this story is bad. The Canadian version is worse. Same rate shock. Double the price-to-income ratio. No 30-year fixed option. Renewal risk every 5 years. 🇨🇳 This is not a housing market. This is a generational wealth transfer from people who don’t own homes to people who own five. 🇨🇦 Repost if your mortgage knows this number better than your MP does.

-Rennie (BC Condo King) raises money for Liberals -Rennie sits on BC Housing’s board -Rennie publicly says he’s “working with Carney” on a housing plan -Carney announces $3.2B to buy unsold condos -The developers Rennie represents get bailed out -Robertson, who hosted the $25,000/plate lunch with Rennie, is now Housing Minister -Liberal MP Hedy Fry defends the spending as “a cup of coffee” And Carney says that no developer DIRECTLY asked for his bailout? 🤣🤣🤣 The Condo King literally said he was working directly with him. Suddenly that doesn’t qualify as direct?

Voting has consequences. Canada voted for socialism, higher taxes, more regulations, less freedom. Business investors decided to go elsewhere. This is why Canada would be ranked near the bottom compared to every state in the USA.

Mass, unvetted, 3rd world immigration - population replacement by another name - brought us to this point. The Liberals subsidized demand and limited supply which caused housing for Canadians to be out of reach. Now they are taking us further into debt catching a falling knife, stopping prices from finally falling, and calling it affordable housing. Corrupt. Deceitful. Destruction. Shameful. Carney + Eby just pushed Canada over the cliff. ⬇️⬇️

Protected B is 🇨🇦’s security level for documents that cause “serious harm” to gov if made public. Interesting level for a regulator explaining inflated appraisals & weak home sales to banks, eh? 🇨🇦’s not bailing out a few developers. It’s bailing out the whole system. 🧵👇

They crossed a line with this condos-for-housing grift. No one gets EVs or Telesat: - for years this govt has corruptly wasted billions of public money competing against market forces in EVs and satellites. No one got how corrupt that was because those aren’t assets people understand. Everyone gets houses: - but everyone understands condos, fees and mortgages - and sale prices that make no sense. - everyone knows the Vancouver Liberal condo developers are donors that supported our fed housing minister when he was mayor of Vancouver. And they know the Chinese money they used to prop up Vancouver is going away. So watching the government use Canadians’ tax dollars to buy mispriced poorly made Vancouver condos off of donors who can’t sell them but won’t lower their prices? That hurts. People are watching their kids leave Canada at record levels now - for better jobs, houses and economic options - and then they watch their govt give billions to donor developers instead of letting the prices drop? It’s not washing this time. Everyone - even the CBC - understands house and mortgage math. And this is the most corrupt thing they can imagine doing with public money. And they’re right.

I often hear from hard working British Columbians worried they’ll never be able to own a home because they can’t save up enough for a down payment & don’t have help from family. We’re working to create an affordable path to home ownership, to help you get your foot in the door.
David Eby@Dave_Eby

If you’re a developer who bet on the high end of the market and you’re facing a loss of profits: this program will not help you. We’re acquiring units below the cost of construction and making them available as rentals for British Columbians — with a path to home ownership.

Poilievre says Carney is building an economy of "carve-outs, bailouts and handouts for the club," where "the Liberal club gets a bonanza and you get the bill." Examples include a billion-dollar B.C. condo bailout and bonuses for Alto executives for minimal work.

David Eby thinks British Columbians are morons, who can't rationalize what his condo developer bailout will cost taxpayers. If low income earners can't afford a down payment, how will they afford... 💳 Rental insurance 💳 Monthly rent 💳 Monthly strata fees 💳 Property taxes 💳 Special levies 💳 Replacement appliances 💳 Utility bills 💳 Food costs with rapid inflation 💰 How will building maintenance be funded? Will the extra costs fall on the shoulders of people who already purchased condos in those buildings, who then are forced to sell their units at a loss? When renters have no real investment & nothing to lose, units and common areas can get destroyed very quickly, with no ability for the Strata council to recoup costs. It's pretty easy to see why British Columbia has seen five credit downgrades in 4 years, with Eby as our Premier. Eby has no concept of money & what is required to maintain a condo. He is just insulting all of us.

🇨🇦💳🏘️ 🤡: BC Premier David Eby promises taxpayers will not be on the hook for the cost of the government purchasing empty condos. 🤡 Eby claims the value of the condos offset the cost to taxpayers. Eby economics in all its glory. 🤨 Eby claims people will have a path to condo ownership, without needing a down payment. 🤷 What happens if the condos get trashed by low-income renters? 🗑️ We have already seen the destruction of SRO units, tiny homes & motels converted to no / low barrier housing. 🔥 In fact numerous motels have been razed to the ground in just a few years, that were repurposed for affordable housing.
