People don't know what Sam Cooper has endured as a consequence of his whistleblowing journalism, and someday, somebody (me perhaps) will sit down and write that story.
Sam deserves every bit of recognition and success he receives. Without him Canadians and the world at large would never know what is actually happening around us, and I have it on good authority from a number of insiders that Sam and The Bureau are a major factor in the Trump administration's discovery of Chinese spy and subversion operations in the US.
Every generation has their pivotal journalists and Sam Cooper is one of ours. I'm proud to call him a frequent collaborator but even moreso, a friend. He sacrificed a lucrative career in mainstream journalism to tell the truth, and his name will be etched into the history books because of it.
If you don't own Wilful Blindness yet, buy it. It's a gateway to the real world.
@mario4thenorth@Nuni_Sas_Yu We don’t all want to go down with the elbows up ship, so let’s just split Canada in half. liberals move east and conservatives move west.
🇨🇦 Significant development
on Bill C-22.
Google’s lawyers have submitted
a provision requiring ministers
adhere to international law
when issuing Ministerial Orders.
If adopted — it would effectively gut the bill.
This matters because:
📍 International law prohibits
arbitrary surveillance
📍 Secret ministerial orders
likely violate those standards
📍 Tech companies are now
using legal mechanisms not just public statements
The bill is in serious trouble. 🔒🇨🇦

THIS IS A MASSIVE SCANDAL FOR CARNEY!
During the damn election, Mark Carney stood there with a straight face and claimed he owned nothing but cash and personal real estate, right?? like some regular guy with no hidden interests.
Now we find out, after committee testimony, ethics disclosures, and him voting for Bill C-15, that it looks like a blatant lie. Democracy Watch is straight-up accusing him of breaking the law!
Are you kidding me?! This is the kind of arrogant, insider elitist garbage that makes people sick of politicians. He lectures everyone else about transparency and ethics while apparently playing games with the rules?
“ Canada Last, Brookfield Filthy Rich! “
If this holds up, Carney didn’t just mislead voters he betrayed the public’s trust in broad daylight. This needs real consequences, not another polite committee slap on the wrist. Enough with the hypocrisy!
REPOST THIS IF YOU’VE HAD ENOUGH!
GOD BLESS CANADA 🇨🇦❤️
🚨🚨🚨THE 'NEW' TICK OUTBREAKS...
...are 100% NOT normal.
THEY ARE MAN MADE AND BOXES OF TICKS ARE BEING FOUND IN FORESTS & ON FARMS.
They are being released.
THE SCAREY PART: ONE BITE MAY MAKE YOU ALLERGIC TO RED MEAT.
I am fucking serious.
WE *NEED* TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF WHO IS BEHIND THIS.
(And I am fairly fucking certain Bill Gates is involved. He is also dropping billions of genetically modified mosquitos across 11 countries EVERY week!!)
Dear @MarkJCarney and François-Philippe @FP_Champagne
Before you step up today and tell Canadians how well everything is going, understand this first. People are paying attention now. Not casually, not passively. Carefully. Because over the past year, you’ve given them a reason to.
You’ve said the economy is strong while growth slows to a crawl. You’ve said things are resilient while unemployment edges upward. You’ve talked about momentum while businesses pull back and households tighten everything they can. That gap between what you’re saying and what people are living is exactly why this update matters.
Now comes the Spring Economic Update, and Canadians already know the play. You’ll take a large deficit and present it as “strategic investment.” You’ll say the numbers are “better than expected” without reminding anyone the original expectations were already a problem. You’ll lean on words like “nation-building” and “long-term growth,” and avoid the simpler word.
Spending.
Because that’s the shift you’ve been making all year. Take spending, attach a future benefit, call it an investment. Same dollars, different story. That’s where the Canada Strong Fund comes in.
On paper, it’s a $25 billion investment vehicle. In reality, it’s borrowed money placed into a fund so it can be described as something else. Countries that build sovereign wealth funds do it from surplus. Canada is doing it while running deficits. That’s not investing profits. That’s repositioning debt.
And once you do that, almost anything can be called an investment. Subsidies become investments. Infrastructure becomes investments. Policy becomes investments. Even spending with no direct return can be dressed up as “future growth.” The line doesn’t blur. It disappears.
Because if everything is an investment, nothing looks like a cost. If everything is building the future, nothing answers for the present.
And then there’s the IMF.
You keep pulling out tidy little half-sentences like they’re gold stars. A phrase here. A compliment there. Just enough to suggest everything is on track. What you don’t mention is that those same paragraphs, sometimes even the same sentences, are packed with warnings about weak growth, poor productivity, high debt, and structural risks.
That trick doesn’t work anymore.
People are reading past the comma now.
They’re reading the whole paragraph.
They’re reading the report.
But Canadians are noticing something you’re not acknowledging. They’re not living in the future. They’re living right now. They’re looking at grocery bills that don’t match your optimism, watching job markets that don’t reflect your confidence, doing math at their kitchen tables that doesn’t align with your messaging.
And when reality doesn’t match the script, people don’t assume their lives are wrong. They assume the script is.
So here’s the problem. You’re trying to rebuild trust using the same tactics that eroded it. Re-branding spending as investment doesn’t strengthen the economy. It polishes the explanation. Cherry-picking reports doesn’t prove strength. It proves you’re hoping nobody reads the rest. Calling a weaker outlook “resilient” doesn’t change the trajectory. It softens the language.
And telling Canadians everything is fine while restructuring the books to make it look that way doesn’t demonstrate leadership.
It demonstrates awareness.
Awareness that the truth isn’t selling.
So before you deliver your update, understand this. People are listening differently now. They’re watching the words, watching the emphasis, and watching what you avoid.
Because this time, when you say “investment,” they’re going to ask a very simple question.
What are we getting back?
And when you quote the IMF, they’re going to keep reading.
And if the answers aren’t there, no amount of re-branding, trimming, or selective quoting is going to cover it.
Not anymore.
Taking ordinary spending, attaching the word “investment,” wrapping it in sovereignty language, all while hoping Canadians do not notice the economy underneath is still coughing into a napkin and really bad governance.

Hi everyone, Kayla Pollock - the Canadian woman who was rendered a quadriplegic after her Moderna booster, has a service dog that needs life-saving surgery (removal of a malignant tumor in her mouth from what I understand).
The surgery is a modest $3,000 (give or take).
I set up a GiveSendGo for her and her dog.
If you can help, please do. If you are not able to support financially, please share the link.
Godspeed and God bless.

A year ago in Canada:
🔸 You couldn't be charged with "hate speech" for quoting the Bible, the Quran, or the Torah in good faith.
🔸 The government couldn't secretly order your phone cut off.
🔸 Your bank couldn't be forced to freeze your account on a political list without a trial.
Today, all three are law — or one Senate vote away.
In 12 months, the Carney government has moved 13 bills that together decide what you can say, what's watched, who gets heard, and what can be turned off.

Let me walk you through it. 🧵
Michael Bourque: A Veteran's Perspective on the State of Canada
One Canadian veteran hopes to remind us of a truth etched in blood and history.
He speaks of the soul of the free nation our veterans defended. The same one we’ve seen eroding under misdirection and overreach.
The Freedom Convoy stood as a reminder of their sacrifices and of what Canada represented under their guard. A place of freedom where debate thrives, rights are sacred, and leaders answer to citizens, not the reverse.
Let’s reclaim that birthright, through the peaceful and unstoppable power of a free people remembering who they are.
We hope this awakens the patriot in every Canadian heart. The convoy showed us the way. Now we must finish the journey together, for the Canada our children deserve.
Our story is not over.
Here is why a Liberal majority could mean the death of Canada as we know it.
Their social media bans would force us to prove our age by providing government IDs and attaching our real name to all our social media accounts. Creating a Digital ID.
Bill C-22 would force Electronic Service Providers: Bell, Telus, Rogers, Apple, Samsung, Google, X, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Amazon, Smart devices makers like your tv, fridge, home security, car and others to keep copies of your Metadata for up to 1 year.
Bill C-9 defines what is considered hate speech, or appropriate speech both in the real world and online. Allowing feelings to be criminalized. Because they have your data, they can easily look into your history if a complaint is received.
Bill C-8 gives the power to the Minister of Industry to force Electronic Service Providers to ban one of their users from their services and prohibit other ESPs from selling that person new services basically preventing whoever they considered a threat from accessing the internet.
All the bills they are trying to pass are interconnected… Do you think it’s a coincidence that the same government is trying to take our guns away?

1/ Your daughter posts something online.
She is 19. In college. Trying to figure out what she believes. She shares a political opinion that an algorithm flags as problematic.
You do not see it happen. No one notifies you. No one tells her.
But 72 hours later, her bank account is frozen. Her student loans are suspended. Her digital ID shows a compliance violation.
And there is nothing you can do to protect her.
