This is what grocery shopping looks like in Canada right now.
Three packs of chicken breasts — but only because they were 30% off.
One pack of butter.
Four ears of corn.
$52.
He says he only buys meat when it’s 30% off or better… because that’s the only way he can afford to put protein on the table.
This isn’t normal.
This is what happens when you hammer farmers with carbon taxes, jack up transportation costs, and run the economy into the ground for over a decade.
Under Harper you could buy chicken without needing a clearance sticker.
Under Carney, even basic groceries require hunting for discounts just to survive.
They broke the country and then told us it’s fine.
Drop a 🍗 if you’re done pretending this is acceptable.
There’s big problem when people from the press get upset at Pierre saying we are in a recession.
This is what someone who just had their hero talked about badly sounds like.
He is literally in denial that Carney is running our Country into the ground. Such unbelievable cognitive dissonance.
Does anyone know who this was?
Quebec gets it.
Bloc Québécois House Leader Christine Normandin was asked about Alberta separation and the referendum question.
The reporter kept pressing.
She refused the bait.
Her answer was simple:
She is not Albertan.
Ottawa is not Albertan.
Albertans decide.
She even warned against “Papa Ottawa” talking down to people with disdain.
For once, I agree with the Bloc.
You do not have to support Alberta separation to understand the principle.
If Albertans want to ask the question, it is Alberta’s question.
Not Ottawa’s.
Not federal politicians’.
Not some managed national-unity script from people who helped create the anger in the first place.
"Did they vote for this in the last provincial election? No, they didn't."
That line from @MarkJCarney deserves to be framed and hung on a wall somewhere, preferably over the entrance to the "National Museum of Political Nerve & Hypocrisy."
Because now I have questions.
⁉️ Did Canadians vote for #Carney to pivot Canada toward a more European economic and defence model?
🙅🏼♀️ No, they did not.
⁉️ Did they vote for him to start loosening Canada from its most important trading relationship with the United States after campaigning as the only adult in the room who could handle Trump?
🙅🏼♀️ No, they did not!
⁉️ Did they vote for new strategic partnerships with China?
🙅🏼♀️ No, they did not!
⁉️ Did they vote for a revived industrial carbon pricing regime and carbon markets dressed up as competitiveness?
🙅🏼♀️ No, they did not!!
⁉️ Did they vote for "no Pathways, no pipeline" as national energy policy?
🙅🏼♀️ NO, THEY DID NOT!
Apparently #democracy only requires itemized voter consent when #Albertans want to ask an #Alberta question.
When #Ottawa changes the direction of the country after election day, they call it leadership.
When citizens want a direct say on the future of their own province, suddenly it is reckless, divisive and dangerous. Does this clown pretending to lead FOR Canadians even hear himself?
People asking people what people think.
Terrifying stuff.

@MarcNixon24 When are people going to realize that the problem is actually more national than they think. Albertans are more at the front of it but the nation is starting to implode as the younger generation begins to realize just how bad things are
With details of the MOU (aka. The Grand Ransom) between Alberta and the Federal Government seemingly imminent, I would like to offer the following:
🛢️a 1MM Bbl/d pipeline to the West Coast is a "pipe dream" if not funded by taxpayers, and the likelihood of getting firm volume commitments for that scale is highly unlikely
🛢️Pathways, a ~$30BN project, was conceived in a different world than now and should be scrapped immediately
🛢️Carbon taxes make the industry at the margin less competitive and encourages investment elsewhere - the oilsands are 0.1% of global emissions - we are irrelevant
🛢️The industry does not need to be "future proofed" nor need a "social license" - the world is desperate for more energy and not a single purchaser of oil in the world asks nor cares about a barrel's carbon profile
🛢️With expansion on existing pipelines plus the Prairie Connector/Bridger project (which I'm now incrementally more confident will proceed) Canada will add ~1.6MM Bbl/d of incremental capacity, enough to get us through to the mid 2030's
@ECloskyWTSP Very much on point with this analysis. Five years ago they were relentless in all areas and all the time. Now not so much and the fighting is intermittent mayhem that detracts from the pursuit
