@wealthmoose Canada have an embarassment of resources that is being deliberatley held back. You forgot -Natural Gas -Forest/Lumber -Coastline -Fisheries -rare earths/cobalt -diamomds -aluminum -palladium -platinum -Hydroelectric power Lol...We couldn't defend it if any one wanted to invade

THIS is why we cannot afford a HSR project right now.

@BenMulroney You may agree the same company keeps dusting off the same report every 10 years or so 🤣🤣🤣

You may support high-speed rail. You may not. You may support high-speed rail, but not the ALTO model. Or you may 100% back ALTO. But can we agree that 10 days ago, virtually no one was talking about this. So maybe we turned down the indignation, just a little bit.

@saskatchewan_in Every 10 years or so they seem to be dusting off the same report. Who you ask? SNC-Lavalin

Just going to leave this little 'Fun Fact' here for all the High Speed Rail enthusiasts. This was brought to my attention, so therefore I must bring it to yours if you didnt already know... Liberals serve themselves first and foremost. This is another case in point. Anne-Marie Gaudet, is the spouse of François-Philippe Champagne She holds a senior executive role as Vice President, Environment at Alto and works within the organization responsible for advancing Canada’s proposed high-speed rail project (Quebec City to Toronto corridor) Under her: • Environmental strategy and compliance • Regulatory approvals and impact assessments • Sustainability frameworks tied to the rail project Gaudet is positioned inside an entity that is: • Federally backed • Dependent on government policy, approvals, and funding Her role is directly connected to this major national infrastructure initiative currently being shaped and eventually financed at the federal level. So maybe when Liberals, their friends and families stop personally benefitting off the backs of hard working Canadians who keep falling behind then conservatives might not be so upset and against this. Because from where I sit, this whole thing reads like a closed-loop favour factory. The Liberals want to expropriate land to serve a narrow slice of the country in one corridor, then hand the bill to everyone else, including millions who will never set foot on that train. Meanwhile, the government’s financing brain is tied at home to the environmental arm of Alto, and it all conveniently lines up with the climate sermonizing of Green Jesus Mark Carney. Call it policy if you like. From here, it looks a lot more like insiders taking care of their own while the rest of the country gets the invoice.. 👇🏻 newswire.ca/news-releases/… 👇🏻 journaldequebec.com/2021/01/18/une…

@sciohn_fhanne Think Hyperloop around Lake Ontario and also perhaps along the 401 corridor. Superfast access across the GTA.

A hyperloop viaduct in Stellopolis, Canada. This can be our future, but only if we earn it through work, discipline, and sacrifice.

@sciohn_fhanne @Cappy_Nate @tokifyi Don't discount the boomerangs. Its not loudly talked about but there are many waterloo grads(and other schools) who have done their tour of duty in the U.S. and worldwide and have returned with many years, sometimes even a decade or more of experience. I am one.

@Cappy_Nate @tokifyi I hope to heaven that this becomes the "Canadians-for-Canada" kind of momentum, not "Canadians-in-SF." Because we've seen more than enough of the latter phenomenon, and there's no sign of it stopping...

bullish on canada it’s only a matter of time

1/2 RIP Setty Pendakur. I always valued interviewing the former @cityofvancouver councillor and @ubc professor, who was more frank than most. He'd been to China 86 times as an advisor. Here are some prophetic quotes from him in 2016: - "CANADA IS ONLY A BIG CARIBBEAN COUNTRY. WE DON'T ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT WHERE MONEY COMES FROM." - "The loopholes are tremendous" in Canada's immigration policy. They became more open to abuse under PM Brian Mulroney. "Mulroney had this attitude that if you were rich, you must be good." - "Parents in China want their son or daughter to get a Canadian degree. But most of them cannot get into UBC, @SFU or @UNBC or anywhere else. So they sign up for these two-room colleges." #cdnpoli @Ayan604 @CllrHardwick @alanfryermedia vancouversunandprovince.remembering.ca/obituary/v-set…

@CP24 Good one.

THE ENTIRE WESTERN WORLD IS NOW CRACKING DOWN ON IMMIGRATION. 🇩🇪 Germany — New govt deporting 80% of Syrians. 800,000 leaving by 2030. 🇸🇪 Sweden — Was the most welcoming country in Europe. Now has a hardline right-wing govt elected on ONE issue. 🇩🇰 Denmark — Set a "zero asylum seekers" goal. The LEFT WING adopted it. 🇳🇱 Netherlands — Wilders in power. "Strictest immigration policy in Dutch history." 🇫🇷 France — Stricter visas. Deportations accelerating. 🇮🇹 Italy — Meloni building offshore processing centers in Albania. 🇮🇪 Ireland — Emergency legislation passed after tent city crisis in Dublin. 🇬🇧 UK — Rwanda scheme, Channel enforcement, tightening across the board. 🇨🇦 Canada — Slashed immigration targets. Reversed from "most welcoming nation" branding overnight. 🇦🇺 Australia — Student visas tightened. Permanent intake slashed. 🇳🇿 New Zealand — New visa restrictions kicking in 2026. 🇪🇺 EU Parliament — Voted 389 to 206 for the toughest deportation plan in EU history. "Return hubs" being built in Africa. 80,000+ migrants blocked at EU borders in 2025 alone. Every single country. Moving in the same direction. Left-wing parties. Right-wing parties. Doesn't matter. Leaders who opened borders are being voted out or forced to reverse. The ones who stayed in power changed their policies to survive. The entire West is moving in ONE direction.

In the Sun today on why Carney's habit of ducking Question Period is terrible for Canadian democracy. I can't think of a prime minister who has had less regard for the norms of democracy in this country than Carney. winnipegsun.com/opinion/koop-c… #cdnpoli #cdnpolitics

California began its high-speed rail adventure in 2008 with a budget of $34 billion USD & to be done by 2020 Now, it is 400% over budget & not a mile of track is operational yet. They hope to be done by 2040 The cretins in Ottawa said, "Let's try that in Canada!"

@mapleblooded The Canadian taxpayer:

This is Mark Carney’s Easter address to Canada. A 10 second video of some Easter Eggs. Absolutely pathetic leader.

@CanadianPolling Nobody likes war. But I would rather the U.S. as victors over the Chinese or Russia. Most people are not thinkimg 3 or 4 moves ahead.

Its great knowing Carney and Poilievre could never be as unhinged as our southern neighbour is

@McLeanChronicle @Cdn4Nortel In the late 90s, a colleague in a different country called me and told me he didn't know that Nortel partnered with Huawei. They don't, I told him. Then he shared multiple screenshots of the screen interface 🤣🤣🤣

Hey Canada, look, China spies steal Intellectual Property from North America, still. It's how Nortel cratered and Hauwei came to be. See wealth is built on intellectual property, not assembling Chinese cars.

This week, the Liberal’s had a big fundraiser in Markham. I was there and had a conversation with the controversial MP Michael Ma. Without moral clarity while attempting to reshape the forced labour discussion suggests Canada is willing to trade off human and labour rights violations for a path of diversification through China trade. @SundayGuardian @liberal_party Why China is not the solution to Canada’s trade diversification strategy. sundayguardianlive.com/?p=181507

The CEO of Montreal’s Port Authority suddenly resigns effective immediately on Good Friday & we’re just supposed to say that sounds normal? I’m still waiting for the rest of the story!

@hsnorth_ Lets get rid of the criminal element at the port of Montreal.

What does $90B actually look like? 🧐 It’s roughly 360 MILLION round-trip flights between Toronto and Montreal. 🛫 That’s enough to fly every single person in Toronto and Montreal back and forth... dozens of times over. We aren't talking about a few vacations; we’re talking about centuries of air travel covered by one budget line. And we are still building a High Speed Rail network … 🤔 Let that sink in. ✈️ 🇨🇦 #Canada #Cdnpoli #Rail #TaxDollars #CanadaEconomy #Toronto #Montreal

Did you know that Canada invented commercial oil well drilling? In 1858 James Williams struck oil and ignited the oil boom in North America. Almosy 200 years later, Canada still doesn't have tidewater access to a deepwater terminal that loads VLCC tankers.
