Make Govt Small Again

I see everyone arguing about the High speed rail. And most of those arguments ignore facts and are clearly partisan. They’re selling high-speed rail as a $60–90B project. Bullshit! 90% of megaprojects go over budget. California HSR? Quoted $33B, actually $120B+. UK HSR? Billions over and still climbing. Toronto LRT? Years late, billions over. This is going cost $2,500–$4,000 per Canadian. And who will use it? Primarily a corridor between Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City. Now the part they forget to mention. Even optimistic projections show 40–60 years to see a return. That’s assuming strong ridership, no major overruns, no delays. Reality? Most high-speed rail systems never make the money back invested and require ongoing public subsidies. So we’re borrowing tens of billions… to build something a portion of the country uses… that will never pay for itself… and in all likelihood cost 100s of millions a year to operate. This is not a smart investment. Someone stands to make a lot of money from this and it’s not everyday Canadians.

Jillian Piper from Global News is not letting Carney’s continued refusal to answer the questions regarding China & forced labor go away. We need more of this from our mainstream media.

@stevenmackinnon @braedencaley Stop wasting our taxpayer money on your scams and corruption!

Pierre Poilievre, once again, is showing Canadians that he has no vision to create jobs and grow the economy.   For decades, Canadians have advocated for a modern, fast, inter-city rail network. Alto is a generational investment that will transform travel and connect communities. It will boost GDP by $35 billion annually, create over 51,000 well-paying jobs, and help Canadians work, study, and travel more efficiently.   Pierre Poilievre is turning his back on Canadians from Quebec City to Toronto and the communities in between. Investing in High-Speed Rail means building a more connected, competitive Canada, and proves Canada can get big things done.   The Conservatives, as usual, think small. Turning away from nation-building investments is the wrong choice, and one Canadians reject at a time when we need to build and grow.

@braedencaley @rodger_stuckey 😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡

No such plans whatsoever. The Prime Minister is laser-focused on fast action across all of government to build Canada’s economy strong

EDITORIAL: Industrial carbon tax goes up again At a time when the cost of living is a major concern to Canadians, Canada's industrial carbon tax increases by almost 16% on Wednesday to $110 per tonne of emissions, on its way to $170 per tonne in 2030. torontosun.com/opinion/editor…

On what planet does a plan to "modernize" the CBC need to be kept secret @MarcMillerVM?

🧵 THREAD 1/ Your bank account is frozen at 3 AM on a Wednesday. No warning. No explanation. No human being to call. You did not commit a crime. You did not miss a payment. You posted something online that an algorithm flagged as problematic. By the time you wake up, your money is gone. Your transit pass is disabled. Your digital ID shows a compliance violation. This is not a nightmare. This is the endpoint of the digital control grid being constructed right now.

Muslim Uber driver Ahmed Ali pretended to drop off a drunk US girl. Instead, drove her to a secluded area and raped her! Her family tracked her phone and found him. The courtroom was packed with other Somali Muslims in SUPPORT of Ali. Get them out!

Canada may have invested MILLIONS into a Chinese Communist Party front. Now, the Liberals won't even tell Canadians what happened. What are they hiding?

I didn't want to interrupt everybody's fun laughing at the NDP convention. But enough time has passed to point out: Carney and the Liberal Party actually implement that same wacky ideology through public policy every day. Instead of "equity cards," they have "equity employment."

What’s the chances of the New CEO of Air Canada being a Carney buddy and Brookfield getting an aviation fuel contract??

This needs to be front page news. Carney is compromised. He’s not here for Canada.

Oh by the way — The PM’s company was fined for slave labour in Brazil. R$800,000. Court upheld it December 2021. He was Vice Chair at the time. That same company tried to evict an Indigenous tribe from their land in the Amazon. A judge froze the asset. They illegally deforested 9,000 hectares across 8 farms. Permits for one. CBC confirmed the same pattern in four countries — Brazil, Canada, Colombia, and the United States. After all of that — he was promoted to Chair. He still holds $6.8 million in options. They don’t expire until 2034. 🚩🇨🇦

It’s is all COMING to light now

Today: Federal politicians get: > +$8,800 for backbench MPs > +$13,000 for Ministers > +$17,600 for the Prime Minister You get: >Alcohol excise tax increase 2% > Industrial Carbon Tax increase from $95 to $110/tonne > 🖕

Canada we have a MAJOR PROBLEM Why do we need to invest $3.8B for nature and also require private investments? Carbon Pricing System being rolled out right before our EYES 👀 Social credit score NEXT

Brutal. Sky News Australia reacts to the Juno Awards saying “Canada is most definitely not okay”.

@l3v1at4an @tonycrawford1 @TorontoPearson @libsoftiktok do your thing.

Adil Ali is a Analyst for the Greater Toronto Airports Authority, the controller that operates @TorontoPearson Airport. Adil Ali calls for the murder of nearly 10 million Israelis by having a nuclear weapon detonated in their country. Adil Ali believes Israeli “Jews are chosen people of the devil” and refers to their places of worship as the “synagogue of Satan” stating that synagogues that were shot in Toronto were the doing of Jews themselves. Referring to Indians, Adil Ali believes they send their money home for the purpose of “feeding cows”, a racist dig at Hindu culture. Do Canadians trust a psychopath that calls for the nuking of other countries to be working in a sensitive position as a security vulnerability at an airport? This is a Notice of Public Interest to the Jewish community of Toronto along with Canadians who travel through Pearson airport regarding this radical individual who calls for genocide via nuclear weapons to be detonated in foreign countries.

@rupasubramanya Mario ratio’ed you because you’re completely wrong.

The Conservatives continue to lose the plot but hey what else is new. Why does Pierre Poilievre increasingly sound like Jagmeet Singh. It's a disgrace that a modern G7 country doesn't have high speed rail. And by not building high-speed rail between its major cities isn't being "fiscally responsible," it’s falling behind once again. This is the moment for big, nation-building infrastructure, not timid politics. Thinking small is exactly how Canada got stuck.
