WOW – All-Party Committee Recommends: “That the Government of Canada seek to reduce taxes and red tape in order to address concerns about how the taxation and regulatory environment has limited productivity growth and held back youth employment.”

Addressing taxes and red tape was the first component of the Conservative Youth Jobs Plan.

I asked the Finance Minister if he would act on this recommendation and he wouldn’t answer.

Equalization payments don’t always align with a province’s income- what’s going wrong? Learn all about it here: https://t.co/2ZAOAbMOxQ #cdnpoli

Remember how CHINA just slapped Canada with a 73.5% TARIFF and basically Carney supporters said NOTHING, meanwhile the United States just proposed a 8.26% tariff on Canadian mushrooms and guaranteed Carney supporters will lose their mind - for NO logical or valid reason 🇨🇦

Alberta should not have to pay tolls inside Canada to export its own resources.

Yet that is where this pipeline deal leads: more costs, more conditions, more government debt, and less control for Alberta.

Option 1 means more of this.

Option 2 means Alberta can do better.

Absolutely 👏 Social programs funded by taxpayers should serve Canadians in need.
These benefits are reserved for citizens and permanent residents for a reason. They come with responsibilities. There should be no shortcuts.

What should @PierrePoilievre do to retain his job as leader of the opposition ?

Change Nothing !

Eventually even the most ardent and now disenchanted Liberals will finally wake up to the fact that nothing has gotten better under Carney’s leadership!!

This announcement from @markcarney is a major departure from his European, especially UK, cohorts in The Middle Power cabal that have no intention of enforcement reversal.
Talk is cheap; putting shoe leather to the task is difficult. So far, @MarkJCarney is soft as dog vomit.

Canadian “justice”.

According to the Fraser Institute: Ottawa gave Ontario $19 billion in equalization over 10 years while BC got nothing, despite having lower GDP per person the whole time. The study found discrepancies in all but 3 of the 44 years from 1981 to 2024. In 15 of the last 25 years, provinces with higher GDP per person received payments while provinces with lower GDP per person got nothing. The formula has ongoing structural problems.

Do you think it is time to scrap equalization completely?

Seen on FB. This is spot on!

“But before buying up thousands of condos, we need to ask why they were never purchased in the first place. Were they priced for a market that no longer exists, built during a five-year run when new condo sales in Metro Vancouver peaked near 19,000 units in 2021 before cratering to around 2,000 this year? Are they barely liveable studios, or $1.5-million three-bedrooms that a middle-income family would never have been able to afford in the first place?”

Adler’s behaviour is an embarrassing display of unprofessionalism from a “non-partisan” member of the Canadian Senate and a perfect example of the current state of Canada.

Airlines will receive $150 million in jet fuel loans at below-market rates, says @PrivyCouncilCA briefing note. @FinanceCanada Minister @FPChampagne made no mention of subsidy in announcing program June 8.

Albertans should read this carefully.

The pipeline deal is being sold as a breakthrough, but the details show something very different: Alberta is being offered conditional access to its own markets, while Ottawa keeps control and Alberta carries the costs.

That is not fairness. That is the problem. We can do better.
