You don't speak for me

[HoCStaffer @HoCStaffer]

I've sure enraged a lot with this. Mostly always enraged lefties, but even some regular Conservatives I engage with politely disagreed.

But I also found more than I figured who agree. To be clear, I don't have a specific proposal in mind. Just trying to engage in a debate about voting.

I guess if some lefties can propose lowering the voting age to 16, then others can propose counter arguments.

Maybe it's just raising the age (21? 25? 30?), as opposed to income or property. Or maybe it's a test, like citizenship.

All I know is thy everyday I deal with people who don't have any knowledge about what govt does what or that opposition parties aren't "the govt." And the majority of requests are permanent residency or get me my benefits-related.

You wouldn't let someone who can't drive get a license, or can't operate become a surgeon. But the direction of a country?

🛣 Net Zero apparently means YOUR road trip, YOUR pickup truck, and YOUR furnace.

The Prime Minister's jet? 🛫That's just climate leadership at 40,000 feet.

Canadians are expected to shrink their #carbon footprint while #Ottawa keeps expanding its flight plan.

Hypocrisy isn't a climate strategy, but it sure seems that way for #MarkCarney!

Build Canada Homes shouldn’t exist. Full stop. We don’t need another taxpayer-funded housing bureaucracy pretending it can outbuild the private sector. We need governments to get out of the way: cut red tape, fix approvals, reduce costs, and let builders build. More programs won’t solve housing. Removing the barriers just might. That’s where the focus belongs.

[Franco Terrazzano @franco_nomics]

Federal bureaucracy grew twice as fast as the population that pays for it.

Feds added 86,000 bureaucrats since 2016 (up 33%). Canada’s population grew 15%.

Taxpayers would save $7 billion if the bureaucracy grew with population.

More bureaucrats. Worse service. Bigger bill.

Over the weekend, I received a letter from the Hon. @PierrePoilievre requesting a meeting be convened of the Access to Information, Privacy, and Ethics Committee. Here is my response to his letter. #cdnpoli

Ce week-end, j’ai reçu une lettre de l'Hon. @PierrePoilievre demandant la convocation d’une réunion du Comité de l’accès à l’information, de la protection des renseignements personnels et de l’éthique. Voici ma réponse à sa lettre. #polcan

"PM Carney never actually promised a CUSMA deal by July 1. What he did promise, months ago, was to reduce tariff uncertainty. Instead, as July 1 arrives, trade uncertainty is set to increase—not decrease. And Canada is far less equipped than the U.S. to absorb prolonged trade uncertainty. That should concern everyone."

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

BREAKING: I’ve written to the Ethics Committee Chair calling for an urgent investigation into Carney’s condo bailout.

Who lobbied to force people who can’t afford groceries to bail out billionaire Liberal donors and powerbrokers?

We are fighting to stop the Liberal Club from getting richer by making you poorer.

[Carney's Carbon Footprint @CarneyEmissions]

Mark's flying again.

This time, he flew to Toronto for the gay pride parade.

He was so sick of us tracking his flights, he took a different private plane so we wouldn't find him.

Then he posted this image of himself, with the aircraft registration visible.

Not very bright, Mark.

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

Vous ne devriez pas avoir à payer de taxes sur un véhicule plus d'une seule fois.

Le projet de loi C-285 du député Andrew Lawton supprimera la TPS sur tous les véhicules usagés, ce qui permettra aux Canadiens d'économiser des milliers de dollars.

Signez pour une taxe de vente de 0 $ sur tous les véhicules usagés : https://t.co/P14Sa0nXTJ

[Shaughn.SGT(ret) @PrairieVeteran]

Every Liberal calling out Pierre for living somewhere where he is entitled to. Just like their PM. And everyone before them.

Unless they have called out EVERY Leader of the Opposition before Pierre, they need to sit TF down.

It is a weak ass argument.

[Kevin Vuong 🇨🇦 @KevinVuongxMP]

When we raised exactly these points of the need for integration of immigrants and shared Canadian values at Parliament, @JustinTrudeau implied we were racist.

But there was nothing ever racist about expecting newcomers to embrace the values that make this country worth coming to.

Refugees like my parents understood that. They didn't come here to recreate what they fled, they came to become Canadian.

Integration isn't exclusion. It's the promise we make to everyone who comes here: this is what we stand for, and you belong in it.

Calling that bigotry, as our then PM did, was how he lost the room — and the country.

It was an excuse to avoid the hard work of nation-building as a personification of his administration: broad values based pronouncements instead of actual leadership and results.

We can do better. We have to.

[Shane Wenzel @ShaneWenzel]

As a gay man, I can tell you attending a parade isn't a litmus test for supporting family. We have equal rights in Canada. Skipping a political event doesn’t mean you don't care, it just means you don’t align with the organizers. Real respect happens in everyday life, not a march.

[Matt Strauss @strauss_matt]

Every time a politician says “we’re working to…” it’s always “blow your money on the dumbest stuff imaginable.”

[The Rabbit Hole @TheRabbitHole]

Don’t worry about what Elon does with his money.

Worry about what politicians do with your money.

I submitted this parliamentary brief in 2024. Now co-signed by 47 academics.

"A Call to Abolish DEI from Canadian Federal Research Funding"

My conscientious objection to government-mandated racism has since cost me my research grant.

Consider signing on (link in reply).

[Anti-Boomer @mapleblooded]

I’m 45 years-old and not ONCE have I lost sleep over the state of 24 Sussex Drive.

What I do lose sleep over is the Liberal’s relentless drive to censor the internet, pass thought-crime laws, seize my firearms, and take all of my income.

[Melissa 🇨🇦 @MelissaLMRogers]

I’m sorry but allowing & accepting PUBLIC NUDITY is not a sign of inclusion or pride - It’s the total erosion of values and basic decency

A live news broadcast @ the Toronto Pride Parade showcased a full naked man. Doesn’t Canada have laws about indecent exposure!? @fordnation

[Vincent Neil Ho @vincentneilho]

While Canadians are locked out of home ownership, Mark Carney decides to hand developers a $3.2 billion taxpayer-funded bailout.

Let’s not forget what his own Housing Minister said just last year when asked if home prices should come down:

“No.”

Now we know why: Liberals were never trying to make homes more affordable. They were just trying to enrich Liberal insiders while using taxpayer money to lock out a generation of Canadians.

[Gina Unfiltered @Gina_T1]

Pierre skips Pride? Outrage.

Lives at the official Opposition residence? Outrage.

Says Canadians struggling to afford a home matter more than renovating 24 Sussex? Outrage.

If only people were this passionate about the country’s decline. 🤷‍♀️

THIS is Toronto 🤦🏻‍♂️
