BREAKING: Mark Carney is the ONLY leader in the G7 to lead his economy into a RECESSION. All other G7 countries face the same tariff and global problems, yet none are in a recession.

Excuses, speeches, buzzwords, and signing ceremonies do not grow the economy.

Canada is the only G7 country in recession because of Carney Liberals hiking industrial carbon taxes, kept anti-development laws, and doubling Trudeau’s deficit.

[Jasmin Laine @JasminLaine_]

Dear Canada: we aren’t being held back by America. We’re being held back by Canadians who got very comfortable telling us we’re being held back by America.

Our own Prime Minister proudly went up on stage calling us a ‘middle power.’ Canada…the second largest country on earth. Third largest oil reserves. Largest freshwater supply in the world. Arctic sovereignty over territory the entire world is about to want desperately. G7 economy. Educated. Neighbours with the largest economy on earth…

And Canadians clapped. They clapped like he’d said something inspiring.

We have every ingredient to be ungovernable in the best possible way. To be the country the world needs. To be the partner America respects, Europe envies, and China can’t afford to cross.

Instead we’re clapping for middle.

Until Canadians get half as angry about being sold small as they get about a Trump post, nothing changes.

Stop clapping for people who don’t believe in your potential. Who stifle your growth, and who don’t want you to figure out what we could be if they actually tried.

Many of us are not who you would expect as "hard core"
I am nearing 60 years old, lived all my life in Alberta since I was 2 years old. I am also Metis. I worked hard since I was 14. I just paid off my mortgage. I am a mother and a grandmother. I am a christian with strong family values. I have lived through both Trudeaus and the damage they did to my province. I had a glimmer of hope when it looked like Pierre would become PM. When he didn't, that was the start of my lean to separate. Carney only had a minority so some checks and balances were still still possible. Then Carney manufactured an illegitimate majority and all that disappeared. Basically, shutting down committees where the opposition can hold him to account.
Then the requirements he put on Alberta to have a pipeline was the real kicker. If all of that was not bad enough, we have a PM who is trying to over reach into every little aspect of our lives from what I watch, what I say, what I believe, what I eat, what I drive, how I heat my home etc. Coming soon, he will be controlling my access to cash. He will never stop. Then there is the seemingly endless foreign aid, increasing Canada's debt to insane levels, the liberal immigration policy, gun control while being soft on crime. I also have zero ambition to hate the US and even less ambition to become part of the EU (entirely absurd)
I have become convinced that the east and the west are so far apart in every way that confederation will never work anymore. Canada has become only what Quebec, Ontario, and the Atlantic wants and needs. Elections are useless, we cannot vote our way out of this because before our votes are even counted, we were hearing the results. How is that fair or representative of our vote?
Something has to change and right now, separating seems like the only way for many like me

[cbcwatcher @cbcwatcher]

Toronto Star Queen's Park reporter from his Toronto Annex basement, Robert Benzie, somehow missed this exchange below from John Ibbitson and decided to become that EastSplainer media guy to Albertans

Lisa Raitt, overly politely, excuses his nonsense " I can't really say, say anything negative about what Danielle Smith's doing right now."

"I think she is just trying to toe the line in terms of having both sides be somewhat happy about whether or not there's a referendum there."

"And I don't necessarily think it's fair for us to beat up on her now."

"...You know, in terms of the referendum, the other thing that I highlight, I don't think it's particularly helpful for centre Canadians to be telling Alberta what they can and cannot do in terms of asking themselves a question."

Benzie was beating up on her, please don't make excuses for fellow panelists Lisa! He can hoist with his own petard @lraitt @robertbenzie

‼️ BREAKING

Liberals are building a surveillance system that the US, Germany & EU have all explicitly rejected.

The two countries that have this:

CHINA & RUSSIA

Carney wants surveillance on every Canadian.

Not just suspects.

Every call. Every text. Every location ping.

Who you called. When. How long. Where you were.

NO SUSPICION OR INVESTIGATION REQUIRED.

Reconstructed into a complete map of your movements.

No other Western democracy has powers this broad.

The EU Court of Justice struck down an identical law as unconstitutional in 2014.

Germany abandoned blanket retention entirely.

Signal said they’d leave Canada rather than comply.

Meta called it conscripting companies into “the government’s surveillance apparatus.”

US Congress members wrote directly to Ottawa warning it compromises American citizens.

Canada’s own Privacy Commissioner has zero oversight role in this bill.

The EU was right to strike this down.

It’s a violation of human rights.

[Harrison Faulkner @Harry__Faulkner]

How ethnic voting and mass immigration just ruined the political career of Nate Erskine-Smith.

Pay attention, Canada. This is what our future looks like.

[cbcwatcher @cbcwatcher]

Must watch! Martha Hall Findley "There's no such thing as a green premium."

"Yeah, climate change is a problem, but I also don't think it's appropriate for Canada to sacrifice the prosperity of Canadians for something the rest of the world isn't doing anymore. "

"And if somebody says, well, we need the social licence, my answer is we need the leadership to go back to the people who are still saying that and say the world has changed."

"This is based on a false arrogance of Canada's role in the world and our contribution to climate." @MHallFindlay @SenatorWallin @DadeSPP

@Jamessstanton @mario4thenorth I used to be a proud Canadian but the Liberals have all but taken that away over the last decade. Being Canadian doesn’t mean much now a days, and the values we used to have as a country are slowly being eroded away with no signs of slowing down. I’m trying to salvage what’s left

[Evan Bell @EvanBell83]

@IMPEACHpedoNOW @mario4thenorth Classic lefty comment. Just filled with nothing but hatred. Get off X, go touch grass, and get some help.

[Evan Bell @EvanBell83]

@Jamessstanton @mario4thenorth They poached people in public settings all the time. I was asked to sign several times while in the library, and even at farmers markets. Independence stations were not allowed almost anywhere and still got over 300k signatures. This must be terrifying for you…

[Evan Bell @EvanBell83]

@IMPEACHpedoNOW @mario4thenorth It’s got to be terrifying to know that the “Forever Canada” petition that initiated this only had around 450k signatures and they were allowed in EVERYWHERE, while independence stations were not and sat on the sides of roads/intersections grinding it out.

[Mario Zelaya @mario4thenorth]

🚨 BREAKING: The National Post just published Canada’s Lost Liberal Decade.

They published 13 charts and facts, that no one can deny.

Some key examples:

Canada’s GDP per capita in 2014: $51,000 USD.

Canada’s GDP per capita in 2024: $55,000 USD.

That’s 7.8% growth in TEN YEARS.

The US grew 58% in the same period.

Business investment: down 30%.

Productivity vs the US: 30% behind.

Government spending: DOUBLED

OECD growth ranking 2014-2022: 28th out of 38 nations.

OECD forecast to 2060: DEAD LAST.

And what’s left behind?

2 million Canadians at food banks.

Youth unemployment at 18%.

More debt per Canadian than ever in history.

Every dollar of growth came from immigration and borrowing, not productivity.

The economy grew.

But Canadians didn’t get richer.

We just re-elected the party that built this.

THE LOST DECADE JUST GOT A SEQUEL.

EXCLUSIVE: $1.1 BILLION in Canada Child Benefit payments went to foreign workers and international students JUST LAST YEAR

[Glenn Beck @glennbeck]

Canada is not a democracy. It's not even a free nation anymore.

How could it be when Parliament is sidelined for eight months, allowing the executive branch to reign unchecked?

Or when foreign interference is ignored and elections are gamed?

Or when courts rule that the government broke the law and nothing changes?

Or when the state controls your speech, your property, your energy, your news, your guns, your healthcare—and offers you assisted suicide when the wait times get too long?

Canada has become something else: a managed oligarchy with democratic trappings, where the individual exists to serve the state.

Look how far Canada has fallen. Because this could be America's future overnight.

[cbcwatcher @cbcwatcher]

Pierre Poilievre is asked about Carney's blind trust

"I am stunned by how little scrutiny there has been of his personal financial interests and how they run in direct opposition to the national interests of this country." @PierrePoilievre

[Evan Bell @EvanBell83]

@alleria_eh Nothing but handouts to lower income workers mainly… it’s no shock that our economy is so terrible.

[Evan Bell @EvanBell83]

@Evan_Menzies Could it be that he came out with this ridiculous speech to distract people of what came out recently, with the $1 trillion in investments leaving Canada in the last 10 years, so he wouldn’t have to answer any questions about it. Looks like it has worked out so far for him.

[The Elevate Report @elevatereport]

Our Prime Minister is about to put an end to the greatest Free Trade Agreement in the World, and he's convinced you that it's not his fault.

If you couldn't see that by his message today then I don't know what else to tell you,

other than you're in a Cult.

[Evan Bell @EvanBell83]

@bishoyriad92 @PierrePoilievre He says the same thing over and over because it’s all true and nothing has changed since he became PM. It’s pathetic. We’ve had $1 Trillion leave Canada in the last 10 years and you don’t see that as an issue? This government is slowly decimating what was once a great country.
