"Who's getting rich madam speaker? That's always the question with these Liberals. It's corruption, it's Brookfield, it's the Prime Minister getting rich. I'm just not certain exactly which Liberal insider is getting rich on this one."

OH THE IRONY!!!🤦♂️
Dear Citizens of Canada,
In the near future you will face the unfortunate and extreme economic consequences of your leader, Mark Carney, choosing Communist China over USA.
Let no one claim that your friends in America failed to warn you.
It is coming because of CCP Carney.
Pierre Poilievre: "Mr. Carney continues to hold millions of dollars of investment in Brookfield, which is massively expanding its investments in the People's Republic of China."
Dear Carney: Should I Let Him Kill Us?
Dear Dear Mark Carney,
You often speak about Canada becoming an “increasingly dangerous and divided world.”
It is one of your favourite phrases. You deliver it with great gravity, usually while standing at a podium with cameras and dire global economic forecasts.
So let me tell you what “increasingly dangerous” looked like in my house two weeks ago.
Seven o’clock in the evening. Still light outside on the prairie. My eleven year old daughter is in her bedroom across the hall winding down for the night, in her pajamas. I am in mine doing the same. I can look to my left and see her in her reading in her bed.
A little over six months ago I became a widow. Which means the house is quieter now. No second set of footsteps. No other adult voice anywhere in the house. Just all five feet three inches of me.
Fifty one years old. COPD in the lungs. One daughter across the hall.
And then a stranger walked straight into my house.
No forced entry.
No dramatic crash of glass.
He simply opened the door and wandered inside.
The man was so drunk he could barely stand. His speech was a slurry fog of broken syllables. He might have been asking to borrow a cup of sugar. He might have been threatening to slit my throat. There was absolutely no way to know.
Under his eye were tear drop tattoos. The kind police recognize instantly. The kind commonly worn by men who have killed someone.
In his hand he carried a mostly full 26 oz bottle of booze. A bottle which, if smashed, becomes a very effective weapon. Especially if it's smashed against the side of my head.
So yes, Mr. Prime Minister, you are quite right: The world is increasingly dangerous.
Sometimes it even walks through your front door.
📜Ottawa’s Preferred Script
Now here is where Canadian law enters the story.
Apparently in this moment of invasion of my home, I am supposed to pause and carefully analyze what level of force might be “reasonable.”
Call the police.
Wait patiently.
Attempt to de escalate.
Perhaps politely ask the intoxicated stranger with prison tattoos why he has entered my home uninvited while my daughter panics and hides across the hall under her bed. She is high-functioning autistic. I assure you, she is not even remotely close to processing this scene in any calm way.
And there is still one small complication.
I have COPD. Running for my life is not an option. And even if it were, I am not leaving my daughter behind to test whether the man wandering my home is merely confused or something much worse.
So let me be clear.
Whether Castle Law exists or not, if a stranger walks into my house I am going to defend myself.
Shoot first.
Ask questions later, as the saying goes.
Because in an increasingly dangerous world, a widowed mother does not have the luxury of waiting around to discover which kind of drunk stranger has entered her home.
⚖️ The Liberal Justice System: Four Hour Consequences
Of course the real absurdity comes afterwards.
Under the justice reforms Canada has seen since 2015 under Liberal governance, criminals are often arrested, booked, and released in roughly four hours.
Four hours, Mark.
Which means the man who wanders into someone’s house intoxicated might be back on the street before the homeowner has even finished filing their statement.
It is a remarkably efficient system for criminals with no compunction.
Danger enters the house.
Police process the paperwork.
The criminal returns to circulation.
Meanwhile the homeowner is expected to stand there politely and weigh the philosophical nuances of proportional force.
Apparently in this increasingly dangerous world, the only person who must remain calm, restrained, and legally cautious is the victim.
🏰Castle Law Is Not Radical
Today, some members of the opposition Conservative Party proposed strengthening Castle Law protections.
The idea is almost laughably simple.
If someone unlawfully enters your home, you have the right to defend yourself and your family.
You should not have to worry that prosecutors will later analyze your survival instincts under a microscope.
Your home is your castle.
Criminals should understand that breaking into someone’s house carries real risk.
That hesitation is called deterrence.
And strangely enough, deterrence tends to reduce danger.
Which seems like a useful concept in what you repeatedly describe as an increasingly dangerous world.
🌄 Rural Reality
Out here in a small village in Saskatchewan, police response is not instantaneous.
Sometimes it takes time. Sometimes quite a bit of time.
When someone enters your house, the first responder is not a police officer.
It is you.
And when you are a widowed mother with an eleven year old daughter hiding under her bed in terror mere feet away, the calculation becomes brutally simple.
There are only two people in that house whose safety matters.
And in an increasingly dangerous world, waiting politely for the legal department to approve your survival instincts is not a workable strategy.
⁉️ A Question From the Prairies
Let us try a quick thought experiment.
Picture a quiet evening at Rideau Cottage.
You are enjoying a good book with a drink in hand. Your wife is inside doing whatever it she does. Perhaps one of your children is visiting.
The grounds are calm. Then a man appears on the property.
He is not supposed to be there. He is moving around the grounds. Trying doors. Fogging up window glass as he peers inside.
Let us say he is from Manitoba. Let us say he has a bag containing several firearms.
And just for argument’s sake, let us say he is a trained Canadian Ranger. A man with genuine weapons training.
Now let us imagine something unusual happens.
The RCMP guard rotation is delayed. Shift change is taking forever. The officer who should be on duty has not been fully briefed yet by the officer going off duty and has yet to arrive to his station.
For a brief moment, there is no one between that stranger and your front door.
Just you. So what do you do?
Do you step outside and begin lecturing him on decarbonized fuels and the moral complexities of proportional force in the face of climate change?
Do you deliver a thoughtful reflection about living in an increasingly dangerous and divided world with your elbows up to demonstrate how serious you are?
Or do you do what every human being who loves their family would do and defend your home? Defend the people inside it?
Because if your answer is anything other than protecting your family, then you are not being honest.
And if that is the answer you would choose at Rideau Cottage, then you already understand the point.
The principle does not change just because the house is smaller and the address is not in Ottawa.
A home is a home. A family is a family.
🫣 The Right Ottawa Pretends Not to Understand
You and your government are very fond of imposing rules on Canadians.
Carbon rules.
Speech rules.
Regulatory rules.
Fiscal rules.
But when it comes to the one place a citizen should have absolute authority, suddenly Ottawa becomes very philosophical.
Yet the reality is painfully obvious.
In an increasingly dangerous world, criminals will continue to make bad decisions. The question is whether Canadian law will continue pretending the homeowner is the one who must apologize for surviving them.
Because the moment a criminal crosses that threshold uninvited, the social contract is already over.
They made their choice.
And any law that expects a widowed mother with COPD to stand there politely negotiating with a drunken stranger holding a weapon sized bottle of liquor while her daughter hides under the bed is not enlightened.
It is asinine.
☝🏻 One Simple Instruction
So here is the request.
If you truly believe Canada is living in an increasingly dangerous and divided world, then act like it.
Instruct your caucus to stop playing ideological games with the safety of ordinary Canadians and allow MP Cabena’s Castle Law proposal to pass unanimously and become enshrined in law.
Because if the Prime Minister of Canada expects every homeowner to show restraint while criminals wander their home, then the Prime Minister of Canada should at least have the honesty to explain why the family behind the security perimeter at Rideau Cottage deserves the right to defend itself, while a widowed mother in rural Saskatchewan is expected to stand politely in her hallway and debate legal theory with a drunken stranger holding a weapon sized bottle of liquor.
My daughter’s bedroom is across the hall.
In an increasingly dangerous world, her safety is not a slogan.
It is the ONLY thing that matters. 🏠
