@WiretapMediaCa Is Canada going to be committing our decrepit woke military to participate and sacrifice Canadian lives when Europe goes to war with each other? Our young lads won't have a choice or a chance if something big breaks out there. Canada is on the slippery slope towards communism.
@Mel__Gibson01 I've been planning my exit from Canada, but I'm getting serious now. Canada's downward spiral is in the nose-dive stage. My children have no future here. I want to get set up somewhere for them to escape to when things get desperate and violent. Canada is beyond rescue.
Two days ago, Mark Carney told everybody that Canadians are going to have to suffer. It's going to be hard, and some will suffer more than others. We need to brace ourselves.
All because of Donald Trump.
Today, he announced a $785 million commitment for Ukraine, for a whopping total of $25.5 billion in aid since 2022.
Just imagine what we could have done in this country with $25.5 billion.
How anybody can support this guy is just beyond me.
He is using Donald Trump to blind Canadians into believing that he's the demon, when, in fact, the real demon has the levers of power in Ottawa.
Canada’s equalization program will hit $27.1 billion next year.
Look at the table (older data). It’s not shrinking. It’s growing.
Six decades of regional development, industrial strategies, infrastructure programs, and endless federal promises to “close the gap".
The gap didn’t close. The cheque got bigger.
If the receiving provinces were actually catching up, the transfers would fall. That’s how a successful program works. This one is doing the opposite.
Equalization isn’t a temporary bridge. It’s a permanent subsidy that rewards the same fiscal and policy choices year after year. The formula measures “fiscal capacity”. Show us that fiscal capacity and how it's composed. When that capacity stays low, Ottawa just writes a larger cheque. No incentive to change course. No penalty for staying dependent.
The West produces the wealth, while Central and Atlantic Canada collect an ever-increasing share of it. And we’re told this is fairness.
A program that keeps expanding after 67 years isn’t proof of Canadian solidarity.
It’s proof that the original problem was never solved.
It’s proof the incentives are backwards.
If things were getting better, this number would be going down.
It’s not.
Trump is exclusively targetting Liberal voting strongholds in Canada with maximum financial pain
he has good advisors
Bombardier, honey, lumber, booze, TV production..... these aren't accidents.
Sask and Alberta totally untouched.
This is masterfully calculated.
One of the most remarkable things about Canada is how easily political theatre works on Eastern Canadian voters.
Mark Carney can walk away from a trade deal, turn confrontation with our largest trading partner into a political strategy, and much of Eastern Canada will applaud it as courageous leadership.
Albertans look at the same thing and ask why anyone would willingly sacrifice jobs, investment and prosperity for a polling boost.
That isn’t merely left versus right.
It increasingly feels like two different peoples with fundamentally different economic interests, political instincts and definitions of common sense sharing one federal government.
The incompatibility is becoming impossible to ignore.
Conservatives have not been in power for 11 years. When we left, Canada had the wealthiest middle class on earth.
11 years of Liberals and I don't recognize my country. First Justin Trudeau and now Mark Carney is running Canada into the ground.
Somehow it's all Pierre's fault.
TRUMP JUST FIRED A DIRECT WARNING AT MARK CARNEY. 🚨🇨🇦🇺🇸
His message is brutal:
Keep using Trump as Canada’s political “enemy” and eventually the economy will collapse.
Carney turned anti-Trump politics into electoral gold.
Trump is now betting that strategy ends in economic demolition and political disaster.
This trade war is no longer just economic.
It’s personal.
JUST IN: Danielle Smith breaks down the cost of a Temporary Foreign Worker family earning $60K/yr:
>$4K provincial income tax paid
> $26K to educate two kids
>$20K in family healthcare
Net cost to Alberta taxpayers: $42K/year.
The COST TAXPAYERS $11.5 in services for EVERY $1 they generate in tax revenue.
Tax payers subsize them so corporations can get cheap labour.
Alberta has roughly 260,000 non-permanent residents.
No wonder these questions will be on the ballot for Albertans in October.
This is not sustainable.
Trump and 🇺🇸 did not…..
-Double our debt in a decade
-Drastically increase crime
-Open our borders to hostile immigration
-Turn 🇨🇦 into a fentanyl, drug cartel and money laundering powerhouse
-Allow 🇨🇳 to interfere in our elections
-Fatten up an already bloated bureaucracy.
-Create a health and healthcare crisis
-Create a housing crisis
-Drastically increase food bank use
-Destroy our reputation
-Destroy our military
-Decrease our GDP
-Kill 74k 🇨🇦 since 2018 waiting for “free” healthcare
-Kill 13k 🇨🇦 with fentanyl since 2015
-Allow 29k fugitives from justice to reside in our country.
-Allow rampant corruption, waste, fraud and abuse
-Drive extreme inflation.
-Drive away billions of international investment.
-Allow murderers to walk and mischief makers go to prison
No, all of that has been accomplished by your idiot Liberals with your support in the span of a decade.
Great job.
Canada’s Prime Minister says: “We cannot trust America.”
Meanwhile, his wife lives in the United States, all four of his children live and study in the United States, 91% of his investment portfolio is reportedly tied to the United States, and he owns a home in the United States.
Yet he tells Canadians they can’t trust America.
Hypocrisy at its finest.
JUST IN - Trump says Americans have been "carrying Canada for decades," and Canada "couldn't survive" without the U.S., warning that someone should get "these clowns" to fall in line or face consequences that will be "far WORSE."
Something to think about.
CArney just announced a major hydro-electric project in Quebec. Ottawa is set to invest $20 billion.
Albertans will be paying a huge chuck of that. Once built, the power from that project won't be included in Quebec's equalization determination formula.
Albertans will be paying twice. Once for the project, and again (many times) for the equalization.
Alberta has to include its oil when determining its fiscal capacity, but Quebec doesn't have to include its hydro power.
