Disappointing News for Canada's most negative person - Pierre Poilievre. He's praying for a recession that is not happening. Perhaps he will meet a voter at an airport telling him we're in recession, despite assessments of Canadians who do math.

Funny how the loudest “Canada is broken” voices keep coming from the provinces with the worst premiers running the show.

Here’s the part people skip: your daily life is run by your province, not Ottawa. Healthcare, schools, hospitals, highways, policing, housing approvals, electricity rates. All provincial jurisdiction. The premier you voted for controls almost everything that actually touches your day to day.

Alberta’s economy gets mismanaged by Smith, healthcare gets gutted, and somehow it’s Ottawa’s fault. Saskatchewan posts some of the worst outcomes on healthcare wait times and education funding in the country, then blames “the Laurentian elite.”

These are the same people who vote for cuts, then complain when the cuts hurt. Vote for underfunded hospitals, then post about ER wait times like it’s a national betrayal. Vote against federal transfers and equalization fixes, then act shocked when their own province can’t deliver services.

If your premier controls your hospital wait time, your kid’s classroom size, and your power bill, and all three are getting worse, that’s not a “Canada is broken” problem. That’s a “you elected this” problem.

The data is right there. Most of the “Canada is failing” energy isn’t coming from a place of national decline. It’s coming from provincial governance failures, dressed up as a federal crisis.

During the election, Premier Smith was asked if "Albertans can trust what you say" in regards to her "Public Health Care Guarantee"

She assured listeners that "We will not be asking people to pay out of pocket for surgical services"

Danielle Smith's words are worthless

The response to this should have been to show his work and/or retract his assertion that my graph was incorrect. Instead, he's blocked me again and has been hiding replies demanding he show his work. I've shown my work. Over to you, @FoodProfessor.

Which is super interesting given that up until this hi-speed rail project became reality for Carney it was a major plank of policy that had overwhelming support by the Conservatives.....and this is the problem with populists, any way the wind blows......

@Reil76 Good post because people don’t know what it means. I especially shake my head when people refer to a carbon tax as communist… when it’s really using market forces of a capitalist system to achieve a goal of reduced carbon emissions of our atmosphere

[🇨🇦Wayne🇨🇦 @Reil76]

I’m going to break down the communism reply all you meatheads like to use, so that you can understand it, hopefully.

Calling someone “a communist” because you disagree with one policy position is just stupidity.

Communism is a specific economic system: collective ownership of the means of production, abolition of private property, command economy. It’s not a synonym for “government program I don’t like” or “tax I think is too high.”

By that logic every G7 country, including Canada, the US, the UK, Germany, is “communist” because they all have public healthcare, public pensions, progressive taxation, and regulated markets. None of those things are communism. They’re features of mixed-market capitalist economies that every developed nation on earth runs in some form.

If you call someone a communist for supporting universal healthcare, a carbon tax, or a child benefit, you’re not making a political argument. You’re just admitting you don’t know what the word means, and hoping the insult lands harder than the actual policy debate would.

Long story short, it makes you look like an idiot! And we all laugh at you!

If only Smith showed up for the 3 Million Albertans who had their data stolen like she did for the Cowboy’s Party Tent 🫤

[Lucy 🇨🇦 @TheBlueGem3]

The UCP just added a 14% solar panel tax. For something that is free energy. FFS!!! Something,something CARBON Tax. I could scream.

@Charles_string_ @TheChaosWeeber I think about 10 years in office is the standard because yes governments get stale at that point
