@XBetadogX @MarcNixon24 Unfortunately it’s not a comic strip. Is factual and real life

[Kirk Lubimov @KirkLubimov]

This is pure comedy.

Mark Carney, who made all of his money outside of Canada with most of his money invested in America and hasn't lived here for years, is using a figurine given to him by Mike Myers who made all of his money in the US and lives in the US, to warn Canadians against the threat of America.

[Georgina Ralevski @Geo_066]

@andrewaperez @MarkJCarney It’s not whether they are red or blue. Far right or far left. It is their morality that drives the selfish acts we’ve seen. Pure and simple comes down to money. Follow the money. And the Liberals have a lot of it (our money that is).

[Matthew | MCGA/MAGA 🇨🇦🇺🇸🫡 @Mattpetti32]

Mark Carney could possibly be the first Canadian Prime Minister in our history to achieve a majority government that nobody voted for. When this happens,we no longer have a Democracy.

[Tom Quiggin @TomTSEC]

The Alto High Speed Rail project is not designed for transportation.

It is designed to transfer large amounts of taxpayer money to friends of the Liberal Party through studies, assessments, planning, evaluations, appraisals, environmental reports and Indigenous consultations.

It is unlikely in the extreme that it will ever get built.

ALTO - by the way - is simply a rebadging of SNC Lavalin.

[Filspa @filspa]

Your description of what he said and of Singapore’s regulatory environment is false. Singapore is consistently #1 or #2 in ease of doing business rankings. Precisely because of a non interventionist regulatory framework. Primary among these is an extremely low tax rate which is what pierre honed in on. It lets business do its thing without subsidies or endless red tape and without bloated government bureaucracy and deficits. The exact opposite of what Canada does.

Subsidized housing there is not in the same context as subsidized housing here. Most subsidized dwellings are owned by the occupants. The goal isn’t affordable rental second rate housing for low income earners. It’s to increase homeownership and manage the limited land that they have available. It’s also largely accessible for first timers. This is very very different from us where the aim of public housing is to address homelessness - or is it unhousedness? Most Singaporeans can afford non HBD homes. Because it’s a country where people get to keep more of their income and where they take advantage of their geographic position to let their natural markets thrive naturally.

Pierre is absolutely right about Singapore and it’s smart small government approach. And if you like Singapore’s model, you would never vote liberal.

COMPLETELY DISMANTLED MEDIA QUESTIONS

If you were Prime Minister, what would you do about the Straight of Hormuz

Pierre answers is not what the media expected and they probably wished they didn’t ask the question

[Kirk Lubimov @KirkLubimov]

This is the best part from Pierre Poilievre appearance on the Diary of a CEO podcast;

"Those who push a socialist ideology have a gross contradiction in their view of human nature.
They say that human beings are wretched, self-interested, greedy when they’re in the private voluntary economy, but they’re angels when they’re in the governmental economy.

They argue that the government should just control everything because then we have all these angels that will decide for us."

Pierre Poilievre opposing the $90 billion Liberal high-speed rail project has caused quite the controversy.

Likely because the Laurentian Elite who loot Canadian taxpayers stand to gain BILLIONS and they want major backlash against anyone who threatens their impending goldmine of corruption.

Let's do the math they don't want you to see....

The Base Cost:

According to Joe Carson's "Diagnosis Red Tape," for every dollar paid in federal taxes, 26.72% never re-enters the private economy. It's consumed by bureaucracy.

That means a $90B public project carries roughly $24B in administrative overhead.

True taxpayer burden: ~$114B.

There are roughly 20 million taxpayers in Canada.

That's ~$5,700 per taxpayer, so that 12 million people in the Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal corridor can have access to rail.

EXCEPT THINGS NEVER GO ACCORDING TO PLAN

Bent Flyvbjerg's database of 16,000+ megaprojects across 136 countries finds that 91.5% go over budget, over schedule, or both.

The mean cost overrun is 62%.

Rail projects specifically (according to Liberal friends McKinsey & Company) go over budget by an average of 44.7%, and their demand is overestimated by 51.4%.

Applied to Alto:
$114B × 1.447 = ~$165B.
That's ~$8,250 per taxpayer.

Meanwhile, the Liberals' projected $35B yearly GDP increase? If demand is overestimated by half, that's closer to $17B.

Now, consider the recent Eglinton subway line in Toronto.

The Eglinton Crosstown LRT was originally projected at ~$5B.

Final cost: $13B and it took 15 years.

The Eglinton Crosstown is 19km long.

Alto is ~1,000km. That's 53× longer.

The Eglinton Crosstown cost $684M per kilometre.

If Alto hit a similar per-km cost, you'd be looking at $684B.

That's obviously absurd but the point stands: Canada just proved it cannot build 19km of light rail on time or on budget.

The answer is to build 1,000km of high-speed rail?

The Eglinton's cost multiplied by 2.6×.

Apply that same factor to Alto:
$114B × 2.6 = ~$296B.
That's ~$14,800 per taxpayer.

But it gets EVEN WORSE.

Now add corruption...

The Charbonneau Commission established that mafia-linked cartels inflated Montreal public contract prices by up to 30%.

A whistleblower told the Globe and Mail in 2009 that the Mafia controlled roughly 80% of road contracts, with prices inflated up to 35%.

Then there's the "Green Slush Fund" scandal: the Auditor General found 186 conflicts of interest at SDTC, with an estimated $150-390M in misappropriated funds.

That's roughly 17-45% of the fund's total approvals funnelled to insiders.

Applied to Alto's $90B base: $15-40B in corruption.

Applied to the Eglinton-style $296B scenario: $50-133B in corruption.

Let's summarize, shall we?

Best case (on budget, on time... which never happens): ~$114B total. ~$5,700 per taxpayer.

Realistic case (Flyvbjerg's average rail overrun):
~$165B total. ~$8,250 per taxpayer.
With half the promised GDP benefit.

Eglinton case (2.6× cost escalation):
~$296B total. ~$14,800 per taxpayer.

With corruption layered on top: $15-133B more (depending on the scenario) vanishing into the pockets of the politically connected.

Also, don't forget: VIA Rail, the organization that would operate this system, currently can't run its existing trains on time.

And that, my friends, is how you market corruption and economic insanity as "infrastructure investment."

[Georgina Ralevski @Geo_066]

@mario4thenorth So here’s the plan. They will hire a consulting firm to assess feasibility, environmental, etc. that will take up a huge chunk of that $90B budget. The firm is tied to gov insiders and after 20 years no railroad will be built but the ‘consultants’ profit almost immediately.

[Marc Nixon @MarcNixon24]

MAJOR BREAKING:

Pierre Poilievre went on Diary of a CEO Europe's No. 1 podcast and a top 10 podcast globally, boasting over 8 million YouTube subscribers.

Joe Rogans Podcast was a WARM UP

This interview BLOWS that one out of the PARK.

THIS IS HUGE 🔥

[govt.exe is corrupt @govt_corrupt]

High speed rail from Toronto to Quebec is dumb. It'll easily be a hundred billion dollar, multi-decade disaster.

Govt insiders love it because of all the lucrative contracts they'd get. Liberals love it because of the millions they could skim.

It's a money laundering project.

[Michelle Leahy Ferreri @mferreriptbokaw]

This is NOT the train that was originally proposed to the people of Peterborough.

Farmers, landowners and taxpayers have spoken and @PierrePoilievre listened.

Canada desperately needs affordable, reliable, safe transportation but this Alto ain’t it. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Update from Maya's father:

Yesterday was a big day for us. We transitioned out of the ICU into a more recovery and rehab-focused unit, and it’s now been 26 hours since Maya’s EVD was removed for the second time. So far, everything is looking positive. She doesn’t seem to be in as much pain, and we’re starting to see a little more energy and color come back. She’s still not a fan of the boot for the pressure sore on her heel doing her best to kick it off whenever she can but her movements are becoming much more intentional.

Our time in the PICU, for lack of a better word, has been a whirlwind filled with both highs and lows for Maya, but slowly we're making some more progress.

And then came a moment today that completely overwhelmed me. OT and Physio came in, and with their help, Maya was able to sit up on the edge of the bed. This was huge for two reasons. First, she was using her own muscles to help support herself (with assistance), and second… I was finally able to wrap my arms around my daughter. Really wrap my arms around her and hold her tight.

I can’t even begin to put into words what that hug felt like. All I wanted in that moment was to lift her up, hold her close, and never let go.
We’re getting there, Dads little Maya Bear 🐻 I love you so much ❤️

[John Smith @yonkojohn]

Why would Carney highlight the fact that the President of Air Canada didn't speak French? Was it really the French or was it Air Canada wasn't buying Brookfield Corps Green Jet fuel at double the cost of regular fuel? Who cares or even knew if the AC President spoke at all?

[Georgina Ralevski @Geo_066]

@CTVNews No comment:

[Moose on the Loose @dsimieritsch]

It's amazing how Carney will use any tragedy as a way to make money.
Shaming CEO of Air Canada out for a Brookfield friendly one who will mandate more green jet fuel so Brookfield and Carney's BGTF1 profits... is a new low, even for Liberals.

[Sue Mac 🇨🇦 @GreatBig_Sea]

Dear Mark Carney,

I just wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you for completely solving the housing crisis. It’s incredible. Studio apartments are now only $3,000 a month, bedrooms in someone’s basement are a steal at $1,850, and a modest one-bedroom is a jaw-dropping bargain at $3,700. Truly affordable living. I especially appreciate how owning a home now only requires a $180,000 down payment and a small, manageable $4,900/month mortgage. Homeownership has never been more within reach.

Also, thank you for fixing the cost of living. Groceries are unbelievably cheap now. Eggs at $9.49, butter at $8.99, ground beef casually hovering around $14/lb — honestly, I’m saving so much money I don’t even know what to do with it. I went in for milk and bread and only spent $97, which is basically nothing these days. What a time to be alive.

The tax relief has been phenomenal, too. Keeping almost half of my paycheck is just incredible. I absolutely love watching 40–50% disappear before I even see it — it really builds character. Nothing says financial freedom like calculating whether you can afford both rent and food in the same month. Taxes have truly never felt lower.

And the safety improvements — wow. Streets have never been calmer. You can now confidently walk past open-air drug use, random screaming matches, and bike chop shops, knowing everything is totally under control. The fentanyl crisis? Basically solved. The homelessness crisis? Completely handled. There are only rows and rows of tents, which is obviously just modern minimalist housing.

The crime situation has also improved dramatically. Nothing reassures citizens more than seeing repeat offenders released faster than a drive-thru order. It really keeps things exciting. Who doesn’t love a little unpredictability on their commute? Keeps the adrenaline pumping.

And finally, thank you for making life in general so affordable. Gas hovering around $1.80–$2.10/L, insurance climbing, utilities up 30–40%, and somehow everyone still expected to smile and say “things are improving.” The financial gymnastics required just to exist are truly inspiring.

From the bottom of all Canadians’ hearts, thank you for this stunning 180. Housing has never been more affordable, groceries have never been cheaper, taxes have never been lower, and the streets have never been safer. Everything is perfect. Absolutely flawless.

Warmest regards,

A financially thriving Canadian

P.S. If you could also fix interest rates, rent, groceries, crime, healthcare wait times, and wages — but like, don’t rush. You’ve already done so much.
