@RMC19861987 Check out Sam Cooper. There is much more to this bail out than it appears. This is scandalous.
@scoopercooper is worth a follow. Excellent independent investigative reporting .⬇️
@mario4thenorth Carney’s Canada:
You lose your job and miss your mortgage renewal, you get foreclosure.
Developers build condos nobody wants, they get taxpayer help.
No bailout for families.
A bailout for billionaires.
Why are working Canadians paying for rich insiders’ bad bets?
This really grinds my gears.
Next up will be a Toronto bailout. Probably next week. Build Canada Homes act just received royal assent yesterday.
They have $11.5b to bail out developers with.

An Open Letter To Canada's Elusive Crisis Fixer
(Gone fixing crises. Please leave a message after the memorandum of understanding.)
DEAR PRIME MINISTER CARNEY,
As Parliament rises for the summer, Canadians would like to wish you a restful vacation, not that you've exactly been overworked, judging by your Question Period appearances.
In fairness, attendance has always been a flexible concept for some people:
There are deadbeat parents who only show up for Christmas.
There are employees who call in sick so often their co-workers assume they've joined witness protection.
There are teenagers whose parents only know they're alive because the refrigerator keeps emptying itself.
And then there's you! Canada's self-described "crisis fixer," who seems to regard Question Period the way vampires regard direct sunlight.
You may recall telling Canadians during the election that they would only see you in a crisis because crisis management is what you're best at.
Which presents an interesting puzzle.
Either Canada isn't actually facing a crisis... Or our "crisis fixer" has remarkably oversold his credentials and purpose. Anything for a vote, eh?
The opposition has certainly noticed. Canadians have noticed. The Speaker could probably place your seat under a heritage designation at this point. It's been occupied so infrequently it may qualify as a protected landmark!
Perhaps we're being unfair. Being a crisis fixer must be exhausting work.
There are international conferences to attend, sporting events to be photographed at, VIP receptions to mingle through, catered aircraft meals to bravely endure at taxpayer expense. And lets not forget there's always another memorandum of understanding to sign.
And another.
And another.
Canadians have now become quite familiar with the modern diplomatic achievement known as the MOU.
The MOU is a fascinating document.
It looks important, and it sounds important. The media reports it as important. Then six months later everyone discovers it produced approximately the same economic impact as writing your intentions on the backside of a stripper-gram. But at least frequent-flyer points were accumulated, am I right!? Gotta love those points! Maybe you can cash them in for some debt relief or houses?
Question Period, by contrast, is much less enjoyable for you, I imagine.
There are no photo opportunities. No standing ovations by adoring globalists and their acolytes, and no carefully screened audiences. Just opposition MPs asking direct questions about government decisions. None of which seem to be answerable by you or your caucus.
One can understand why a so-called crisis fixer might find that environment somewhat uncomfortable, what with all those larping seals in the government benches slapping their hands together in obligatory applause for their leader.
The House of Commons is where Prime Ministers are supposed to answer to the people paying the bills. It's the democratic tradition whereby taxpayers who can't afford groceries get a brief opportunity to question the fellow enjoying Normandy Butter Tarts and a side of crème brûlée somewhere over the North Atlantic in pursuit of yet another memorandum of understanding but no actual deal.
After all, fixing a crisis is one thing. Explaining yourself to the people paying the bills is quite another. The irony is difficult to miss:
• A Prime Minister who campaigned on competence.
• A Prime Minister who promised seriousness.
• A Prime Minister who assured Canadians that when a crisis emerged, he would be there.
Yet somehow, whenever Question Period arrives, a time to explain to the nation how you're catalyzing your inner crisis-fixer skillset to solve ruptures in this most dangerous and divided time, the crisis fixer becomes Canada's most difficult public official to locate. We stand a better chance of hunting down Sasquatch and caging him in a zoo.
If this attendance record belonged to a student, parents would be receiving phone calls. If it belonged to an employee, HR would be filing an ROE for job abandonment. If it belonged to a soldier, people might begin asking whether AWOL paperwork was filled out yet.
Instead, Canadians are simply told not to notice.
To be fair, perhaps the Prime Minister genuinely needs the summer break. The burden of attending sporting events, international summits, receptions, state dinners, investment forums, climate conferences and carefully staged photo opportunities with other people's children, but never your own, can take a toll. Especially while holding those elbows up all the time. You must be downright exhausted.
The occasional appearance in the House of Commons might have pushed the workload into dangerous territory for a man of your age and soft hands.
So enjoy the summer, Prime Minister.
Relax.
Recharge.
Sample the cuisine.
Collect a few more photographs.
Sign a few more memorandums.
Announce a few more frameworks.
Launch a few more initiatives.
Perhaps even fix a crisis or two, should any appear.
And when Parliament returns in the fall, Canadians hold out a faint but persistent hope.
Not that the economy will suddenly improve. Not that productivity will magically recover. Not that housing will become affordable.
Just that Canada's crisis fixer might occasionally appear in the place where Prime Ministers are expected to answer questions from the people they govern.
Because if you're only visible during a crisis...
And we never see you...
Canadians are left with only two possible conclusions.
Either there was never a crisis.
Or the crisis fixer never arrived.
As always, yours in the radical belief that elected officials should occasionally be observed performing elected-official activities. Until the next confirmed sighting,
Melanie in Saskatchewan

Keir Starmer is the most disliked politician in the West with the worst approval rating of all
Many reasons for that
Perhaps Carney should start moving away from Starmer’s policies instead of running toward them
What Starmer did, or rather, ignored, should go down in history books as one of the worst periods the county has ever had
Entirely self inflicted
Entirely self made
Entirely purposeful
Starmer ignored the industrial style rape of young UK women and girls
Let’s call rape what it is — torture
Industrial style rape and torture of whole towns and neighbourhoods
Everyone heard
Everyone saw
Everyone knew
Locals tried to warn authorities only to get into legal issues themselves for reporting it
Now the Independent Rape Gang Inquiry Report shows what everyone in these UK towns knew to be true
The unmitigated disaster of open border policies caused the rape and torture of an entire generation of women and young girls in the UK
All in the name of “diversity”
All in the name of “tolerance”
All in the name of “acceptance”
All in the name of “political correctness”
All in the name of not being called “racist” or other ridiculous labels pinned on people for solely wanting to protect their children
🦗🦗🦗 from feminists of all strands
🦗🦗🦗 from their woke allies
🦗🦗🦗 from university professors who so vehemently profess their feminist alignments
🦗🦗🦗 from Western politicians, Canada included
What good is the feminist movement when it doesn’t call out industrial style rape and torture of an entire generation of the very people they claim to want to protect?
An entire generation of young women will never ever be the same, turning the trauma into a generational nightmare that may last for decades and more
For Western feminists, might as well pack it up and call it a movement forever because clearly for them it’s only rape and torture if the victim and perpetrator have a specific skin tone and culture
Kier Starmer is an embarrassment and this national travesty is a stain on his country that he must be reminded of every single day for the rest of his life
What does the future hold for the UK?
A surveillance society with ever-dwindling free speech
People monitored, censored and controlled like livestock
It’s sad what’s happened in the UK
I’m not optimistic for their future
What I hope is that the same open border policies and lax crime laws in the UK, which caused much of the devastation in that country, aren’t replicated in Canada by the Liberals
So far, that’s exactly what’s happening — crime is out of control here, people are afraid to walk the streets and offenders get out on bail the same day they commit violence against their victims, only to reoffend the same day!
And on and on it goes …
This, while the surveillance state policies of the UK mimicked by Carney are exactly what they appear to be regardless of the legacy media’s deafening silence — a slow and incremental slide into authoritarianism
Enough!
@GG37374104 IMO education means nothing when compared to actual real life lived experiences. Stay true to who you are and F the feelings of some fragile snowflake who can't handle that
Carney Government Loses It's Mind & Just Saves Condo Developers In BC: Unfuckinglievable
Unlike Carney's deal with Ontario which was a HST Sales Tax reduction scheme in BC they just went whole hog & BOUGHT New Construction Condos the Developers can't sell
Which is NUTS

@ColinDMello Every festival is required to pay for security costs. Toronto Pride paid $425 last year. How much does Doug Ford pay for security at his private Ford Fest?
.@MarkJCarney’s approval CRASHING in the third week of June in 2 minutes.
1⃣ Liberal friendly pollster Angus Reid reports Carney’s approval rating dropped 8 points.
2⃣ 22% of those on the B.C. affordable housing wait list are seniors. 94% didn’t get placed over the last year.
3⃣ Household debt is outpacing incomes contrary to Mark Carney’s claim that wages are growing more than 2x the rate of inflation.
4⃣ In Ireland, Mark Carney says “it’s good to be home.” Carney held Irish citizenship.
5⃣ Economist David Thorne says 🇨🇦 economy is dying of “cancer & rot.”
6⃣ 15 people die every day of illicit drug overdoses.
7⃣ President of the 🇨🇦 Vehicle Manufacturers Assoc., Brian Kingston, is astounded that Melanie Joly is speaking to Chinese EV makers & risking CUSMA negotiations.
8⃣ Bell cuts 1,300 staff including CTV media personnel.
9⃣ CBC, the creator of Hockey Night in 🇨🇦, loses its license to rebroadcast NHL hockey.
🔟International terrorist organizations are linked to shootings at the 🇺🇸 Embassy & synagogues.
1⃣1⃣Mark Carney praises Trump’s Iran peace deal as “a game changer.”
1⃣2⃣ 🇺🇸 border enforcement has intercepted enough 🇨🇦 fentanyl to kill 17M people & the flow is rising.

"The Chinese government hacked US systems through a legal backdoor Washington created."
The CCP & their police stations in Canada may be entitled to access the real time data of Canadians and any stored data, under the classified security pact Carney signed with the CCP.
We're not allowed to know what is in that deal.
Photographers were given 10 seconds to run into the room, snap this picture, then run away without a single question being allowed.
That is Canada now.
🚨🚨EL VÍDEO MÁS PODEROSO QUE VERÁS HOY.
D Vance DENUNCIA cara a cara a Von der Leyen, quien está exigiendo censura en las redes incluso con penas de cárcel, que la Libertad de Expresión no es negociable.
La cara de Von der Leyen es un poema 👇
Gator’s argument is pure bootlicker nonsense.
Nobody is saying the Prime Minister personally sits there with a calculator picking the salmon garnish. That is not the point. The point is leadership, judgment, standards, and hypocrisy.
Yes, national leaders travel. Yes, security travels with them. Yes, staff and media come along. Adults understand that.
But when the Prime Minister lectures Canadians about “sacrifice” while his own operation runs up obscene taxpayer-funded travel and catering bills, Canadians are allowed to be furious. You do not get to preach austerity from the front of a flying banquet hall.
And spare us the “other countries do this” excuse. Other countries also waste money, hide costs, and treat taxpayers like servants. That does not make it acceptable here.
The Sussex Drive comparison is ridiculous too. A neglected public residence falling apart is not the same issue as politicians living large while families are getting hammered by groceries, rent, taxes, debt, and interest rates.
The issue is not the menu.
The issue is contempt.
Carney wants sacrifice from Canadians while protecting comfort for the political class. That is exactly why people are angry. Not because they misunderstand government travel, but because they understand the attitude behind it perfectly.
Girl dads, please bring your little girls into the women’s restroom.
Don’t worry about the judgment from strangers. Your daughter’s safety and comfort matter far more than anyone else’s opinion.
As a mom, I would much rather see a dad helping his little girl in the women’s restroom than sending her somewhere alone or into a men’s restroom where she may not feel comfortable.
A quick, “Girl dad coming in with my daughter,” is more than enough.
Most women understand. Most women want little girls to have a safe bathroom experience.
You’re not bothering us. You’re taking care of your child, and that’s exactly what a good parent should do.
So, after a week in Europe, can I say that Prime Minister Carney is popular here?
The answer is a resounding yes.
But is Canada — and the direction of its current government — equally respected? That's less clear.
Many Europeans seem pleased to see Canada aligning itself more closely with Europe on major geopolitical issues. However, there's also a growing perception that Canada is increasingly willing to go to bat for Europe, even when doing so may come at a significant economic cost at home.
The question isn't whether Canada should be a reliable ally. The question is whether Canadians are fully aware of the price they may be asked to pay for that role.
