Pretty funny that Marner decided to sewer his hometown team from getting a superior player, only for that team to take his ring away

This photo is incredible.

A rain-soaked defeated Liberal MP walking along trash filled streets with the pride flag flying in the distance as he grapples with the consequences of his own party’s decisions.

@SamAMcKee @JDBunkis Hopeful Take:The job of a GM is to empower the key staff in the entire ORG. The Leafs have many senior staff members who are experts in their respective fields. Could Chayka's management experience & training be an asset in bringing out the best in the entire Leafs ORG?

@jtbourne agree, after 15 seconds the offside is irrelevant to be directly related to a scoring chance, it's certainly not a rush goal at that point.

[Ryan Gerritsen🇨🇦🇳🇱 @ryangerritsen]

How much has Canada declined under the Liberals? This great video by @TristinHopper will remind you of just how much.

@JhanHky Mixed emotions. I love that they are on a team but there many things wrong with minor hockey (and youth sports) today that it certainly isn't as FUN of an experience as I hoped for my kids and us. Fortunately, we play lots of sports and are alwH excited for the season to start

The best time to build a pipeline was ten years ago, the next best time is now.

We must build new pipelines West, East, North and South –without delay, and without hesitation – to supply Asian and European markets with safe, reliable, and responsibly produced energy products.

Canadians were told there were 215 graves. The country shut down, the flag stayed at half-mast for months, and $12.1 million in taxpayer money was handed out to investigate and exhume remains.

Now we’re told no graves have been exhumed.

And when reporters asked what work was actually done with that money, the federal government blacked out the reports and called them “confidential.”

If the money went to where it was supposed to, why the cover up?

Taxpayers paid for an investigation. Canadians deserve to see the evidence, the work, and exactly where the money went.

And if that $12 million wasn’t spent doing what it was supposed to do, then the money should be paid back.

70% of our food is made in Canada, but we still face the worst food inflation among G7 countries.

It's a made-in-Canada Liberal hunger crisis, with people unable to afford their groceries.

To fix it, let's boost competition, eliminate hidden Liberal grocery taxes, and cut inflationary deficits so families can buy affordable food again: https://t.co/mPF8d7kcm3

Congrats to the US team on Olympic gold🥇.

[Jason James @jasonjamesbnn]

It's funny watching Canadian legacy media wake from their stupor and wonder what happened "out of nowhere." Here's a quick list to help them gain a better understanding:

2016-Ongoing: Phoenix Pay System
New federal payroll system. Costs quadrupled mysteriously. More costs to fix the quadrupled costs. Actual cost unknown because spending wasn't tracked.

2018: Chrysler Bailout
Liberals wrote off a $2.6 billion loan to Chrysler for unknown reasons. No recovery of funds.

2020: WE Charity Contract
$912 million student grant program contract awarded to WE Charity. Contract cancelled when Trudeau's family were found to be receiving payouts from WE. $30 million in initial costs unrecovered.

2020-2021: COVID-19 Relief Overpayments and Suspicious Benefits
$27.4 billion in suspicious payments through programs like CERB and CEBA. $4.6 billion in overpayments, $1.6 billion to ineligible individuals, $6.1 million to prisoners, and $1.2 million to deceased people. $3.5 billion to ineligible CEBA recipients. Insider payments (corruption) and migrant housing accounted for another $1 billion.

2020-2021: Liberal Ventilators
$237 million on 10,000 ventilators ($23,700 per ventilator) purchased from Frank Baylis, a Liberal MP.

2020-2021: Unaccounted Pandemic Spending
$600 billion in unaccounted pandemic spending in 2020-21.

2021-2023: ArriveCAN App
$59.5 million paid to Liberal insiders GC Strategies on an app hobbyists recreated over a weekend. Estimated real world development cost: $50,000. GC Strategies received $65 million across 106 contracts from 2015-2024 and produced nothing.

2015-2023: McKinsey & Company Contracts
$209 million awarded to the Liberal insider corporation (Liberal ambassador to China, Dominic Barton was also managing director of McKinsey). Nothing of value was ever produced from this "partnership."

2015-2023: Infrastructure Projects Under Catherine McKenna
$187 billion spent on 20,000 projects. Money was untracked and disappeared. No projects completed.

2018-2024: Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion
$29 billion disappeared under Liberal management.

2021-2024: Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC)
$400 million misused through conflicts of interest (186 instances), with funds going to Liberal insiders' companies. Conservatives called it the "Green Slush Fund."

2023-2024: Firearms Buyback Program
$67 million in costs. No guns recovered.

2023-2024: Electric Vehicle (EV) Battery Plants
$270 million lost on one plant as part of a $30 billion commitment.

2024: Cricket Protein Plant
$42 million lost on one facility.

$61.9 billion deficit, $21.9 billion higher than projected.

Interest costs $53.7 billion.

$300 million on passport redesign.

Plus billions funneled into Canada's perpetually failing state-funded media.

And this is just what's documented. Who knows how much money was laundered and embezzled into offshore accounts over the last 11 years.

During his time as Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau's personal net worth grew from $7 million to upwards for $400 million on a $400,000 per year salary.

Canada might be poorer than Alabama but Mark Carney, Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party definitely aren't.

[Mario Zelaya @mario4thenorth]

Let me tell you how it’s possible:

A drama teacher was elected 3 times.

We spent billions on international gender programs.

We refused to expand oil & gas to Europe & Asia

We couldn't control spending, so we raised taxes.

We enacted the War Times Measures Act, oops, I meant to say the rebranded name, the Emergencies Act, on innocent Canadians and used lawfare on them, despite it being ruled unlawful by the Courts.

Our Prime Minister then divided our country.

He thought it was a good idea to mass-import millions of foreigners from one part of the world.

Crime skyrocketed.

Healthcare crumbled.

Housing costs & inflation spiralled out of control. 

The brain drain continued, we lost some of the best. 

And then we decided to then elect the drama teacher's advisor for his last 5 years.

“Out of nowhere” 🤣🤣🤣

Liberal propaganda.

[Lucy Hargreaves @lucyhargreaves4]

Alabama's unemployment rate is 2.7%. Canada's is 6.5%.

Alabama now manufactures nearly as many cars as Ontario.

How did the one of the poorest states in the US start outcompeting us?

The Globe went down there to find out. The short version: Alabama spent 30 years treating economic development like a serious strategy... landing investments, making it fast and easy to build, and clawing back incentives from companies that didn't deliver.

Canada spent the same 30 years writing reports about competitiveness and then not acting on them.

Eli Lilly just put a $6B pharma plant in Huntsville. That could have been Montreal.

Alabama is no paradise. Life expectancy is 74 vs 82 in Canada, minimum wage is $7.25. But there's a line in the piece that stuck with me. In 2007, the Harper government commissioned a competitiveness report. The conclusion as to why it's difficult to take the actions needed to be more competitive: "Canadians do not perceive that there is an imminent crisis."

The authors said you'd get the same answer today. I think they're probably mostly right. And as the Globe puts it: "If Canadians remain complacent, the rest of the world will eat our lunch."

We're in a crisis, folks. An imminent one at that. Time to get seriously aggressive about the changes we need to make.

The guy who lectured you relentlessly about "climate change" nonstop for 10 years just bought this monstrosity of a house.
I see 4 chimneys for wood burning fireplaces.
I bet it has a gas stove too.
He also travels the world nonstop and hangs out on yachts.
EVERYTHING IS A LIE.

I am strongly believing street hockey created better hockey sense

No gliding-You learned to wait
Weakside was a place to “hang out”
Cannot play “fast” all the time
Not dribbling what you could pass emerges

Slowing down foot speed/pace of play increased brain speed

Thoughts?

@JDBunkis @SamAMcKee Time to teardown. Only bright spot is that Marner did no damage, he's got Stone and Eichel plus others to carry him.

Elections are for later. Vote Conservative, vote Liberal - that choice will come. Put down your partisan swords today and take a moment and listen to this speech and what is being framed. These times are not like any other.

"Did you see what Trump just did?"

"Yes, it’s concerning. I am similarly concerned that I can’t afford a home, adolescence is being extended, we threw open our borders to anyone with a pulse, we’re woefully short on First World healthcare delivery, we legalized crime, we don’t deport, we tore down our flag and our monuments, and we harmed our own economy and set our future generations up for failure far worse than any American president ever could."
