@mario4thenorth Wouldn't that expand the already large deficits that all levels of government is running? You cant cut taxes and keep spending without any control at the same time. We need to fund the defence too. I dont think there is an easy way out of 11 years of misery.

We needed a survey to find out that Canadians can’t afford to live?
Pierre called for no taxes on gas for the rest of the year
And NOW, after Pierre says it,
expect a gas tax cut “soon.”?
Of course we can.
This is the Liberal playbook:
“Grok, steal Pierre’s idea, but make it more 💩. Make sure it’s Liberal. Make no mistakes.”

Just launched a survey. Cost of living is rising as a top issue. The pressure on federal and provincial governments to act, like we’ve seen in other countries, will become unbearable. Expect to see a gas tax cut soon.

@Ryan_r_Williams We’d all love tax cuts, but with the deficit where it is, that’s basically asking the hole to dig itself deeper.

Countries are temporarily slashing gas taxes. Should Canada do the same? ctvnews.ca/canada/article…

@MarcNixon24 That would increase the already huge deficit that liberals are running.

All gas taxes need to be removed immediately and permanently

🚨🇨🇦 Young Canadians wait in massive three-hour lineup for a job fair in Calgary as youth unemployment hits 14.1%.
Yet @TimHortons tells us they need cheap foreign labour because of "labour shortages".
Do you think @TimHortons is being transparent? 🤔👇

@riteshmjn Next stop is food bank. Food banks would be expanded to provide household items.

Dollarama just guided to slower sales growth.
When even the dollar store is flashing warning signs, you’re no longer talking about “resilient” consumers. You’re talking about households that are running out of road.
For three years, dollar stores were the pressure valve of the inflation shock.
People traded down from traditional grocers and big‑box chains into extreme value just to keep the same basket of basics.
Now two things are happening at once:
•Dollar chains have quietly moved upmarket – multiple price tiers, higher ticket items, more locations in affluent suburbs.
•Higher‑income shoppers are showing up in the aisles, hunting “deals” on the same essentials they used to buy without thinking.
That’s the tell.
If six‑figure earners are squeezing pennies at dollar stores, middle‑ and lower‑income households are already past the trading‑down phase. They’re cutting quantities, skipping categories, or dropping out of formal retail altogether.
And when a bellwether like Dollarama signals slower growth, it suggests the bottom of the ladder is weakening, not just the middle rungs. The “last refuge” for stretched budgets is starting to feel expensive.
We’re used to reading dollar‑store strength as a sign that consumers are adapting.
Today, slowing growth in that channel is something different: a late‑cycle signal that a broad swath of U.S. and Canadian households is struggling so much… there may be nowhere left to trade down to.
Curious how others are reading this:
Is this just normalization after a boom, or the canary in the coal mine for North American consumer demand?
What next … Thrift stores?

In Canada this guy would get 5 years. If he was black or FN, he would get 3 years of house arrest and 100 hours of community service. Why? Because Canada is now a *progressive* country!!

@BenRabidoux @LenaMetlegeDiab Canada takes in about 20 times the number of "refugee" claimants per capita as the US does, and we accept about 80% of them which is a complete joke.
Canada needs to completely withdraw from the UN Refugee Convention and declare a moratorium on all new claims.

On a quarter where 🇨🇦 total population declined by 103,000, the number of asylum claimants in the country ROSE by 14,000.
1 in every 77 people residing in Canada today are asylum claimants.
Program needs a massive overhaul. Low hanging fruit for policy makers

This is 100% wild.
Unbelievable.
