Canada is not a democracy. It's not even a free nation anymore.

How could it be when Parliament is sidelined for eight months, allowing the executive branch to reign unchecked?

Or when foreign interference is ignored and elections are gamed?

Or when courts rule that the government broke the law and nothing changes?

Or when the state controls your speech, your property, your energy, your news, your guns, your healthcare—and offers you assisted suicide when the wait times get too long?

Canada has become something else: a managed oligarchy with democratic trappings, where the individual exists to serve the state.

Look how far Canada has fallen. Because this could be America's future overnight.

SpaceXAI and @cursor_ai are now working closely together to create the world’s best coding and knowledge work AI.

The combination of Cursor’s leading product and distribution to expert software engineers with SpaceX’s million H100 equivalent Colossus training supercomputer will allow us to build the world’s most useful models.

Cursor has also given SpaceX the right to acquire Cursor later this year for $60 billion or pay $10 billion for our work together.

What is even the point of Parliament?

At Health Committee, we asked to see the PrescribeIT contracts, in which the Liberals blew $250 million on NOTHING.  

But Mark Carney’s Chief Filibuster Officer spent 2 hours talking to prevent us from seeing it.

I asked why at Question Period, but the Chief Filibuster Officer took the question and…. Filibustered.

That’s why I went to ask again tonight in the House:

[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."

Share a bit. I don’t want to belittle the category of software. People did amazing work in the world of payroll software (agile manifest etc). But at some point a csv is created and it has a row per payee and it happens twice a week. Shopify pays out millions of businesses and moves billions a day. And we took 20m of financing ever before we went public (and had it all still in the bank when we did).

The scale of nonsense that’s happening with government bespoke software is just unexplainable without fraudulent intent. But it also tracks with everything else you hear about government efficiency (minus maybe military). It’s not that it costs 10b to make a payroll software that is the problem. It’s that it costs this much for anything that the government tries to do itself. The only conclusion is that the government needs to do a lot less.

Today, the Liberals voted down four Conservative justice bills.

Every single one of these bills had a straightforward purpose: protect Canadians and respect victims. The Liberals said no to all of them.

❌ Consecutive sentences for sexual predators
❌ Deportation for serious crimes
❌ Ending annual parole hearings for murderers
❌ Jail Not Bail Act

Violent crime is up 55% under the Liberals. This is their answer.

Canada spent $5.1 BILLION fixing a broken payroll system (Phoenix). Now we're about to spend $4.2 BILLION+ replacing it with Dayforce.

I went through every lobbying record, every communication report, and every revolving-door hire to identify potential conflicts of interest.

Here's what I found.

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

"My name's Raymond. I'm 73. I work the parking lot at St. Joseph's Hospital. Minimum wage, orange vest, a whistle I barely use. Most people don't even look at me. I'm just the old man waving cars into spaces.
But I see everything.

Like the black sedan that circled the lot every morning at 6 a.m. for three weeks. Young man driving, grandmother in the passenger seat. Chemotherapy, I figured. He'd drop her at the entrance, then spend 20 minutes hunting for parking, missing her appointments.

One morning, I stopped him. "What time tomorrow?"
"6:15," he said, confused.
"Space A-7 will be empty. I'll save it."
He blinked. "You... you can do that?"
"I can now," I said.

Next morning, I stood in A-7, holding my ground as cars circled angrily. When his sedan pulled up, I moved. He rolled down his window, speechless. "Why?"
"Because she needs you in there with her," I said. "Not out here stressing."
He cried. Right there in the parking lot.

Word spread quietly. A father with a sick baby asked if I could help. A woman visiting her dying husband. I started arriving at 5 a.m., notebook in hand, tracking who needed what. Saved spots became sacred. People stopped honking. They waited. Because they knew someone else was fighting something bigger than traffic.
But here's what changed everything, A businessman in a Mercedes screamed at me one morning. "I'm not sick! I need that spot for a meeting!"

"Then walk," I said calmly. "That space is for someone whose hands are shaking too hard to grip a steering wheel."

He sped off, furious. But a woman behind him got out of her car and hugged me. "My son has leukemia," she sobbed. "Thank you for seeing us."

The hospital tried to stop me. "Liability issues," they said. But then families started writing letters. Dozens. "Raymond made the worst days bearable." "He gave us one less thing to break over."

Last month, they made it official. "Reserved Parking for Families in Crisis." Ten spots, marked with blue signs. And they asked me to manage it.

But the best part? A man I'd helped two years ago, his mother survived, came back. He's a carpenter. Built a small wooden box, mounted it by the reserved spaces. Inside? Prayer cards, tissues, breath mints, and a note,

"Take what you need. You're not alone. -Raymond & Friends"
People leave things now. Granola bars. Phone chargers. Yesterday, someone left a hand-knitted blanket.
I'm 73. I direct traffic in a hospital parking lot. But I've learned this: Healing doesn't just happen in operating rooms. Sometimes it starts in a parking space. When someone says, "I see your crisis. Let me carry this one small piece."

So pay attention. At the grocery checkout, the coffee line, wherever you are. Someone's drowning in the little things while fighting the big ones.

Hold a door. Save a spot. Carry the weight no one else sees.
It's not glamorous. But it's everything."

When we read Bill C-8 and look at what it actually says, it’s clear this bill risks digitally shutting out Canadians who dare to dissent, while giving the Minister sweeping power to decide who gets a voice.

If Canada is to stand as a beacon of freedom, we cannot erode our liberties—or our ability to speak up—in the name of security.

We cannot allow government ministers to usurp the courts and decide who loses their right to speak freely.

[Andrew Lawton @AndrewLawton]

Don't believe Sean Fraser. Bill C-9 deliberately redefines "hate" in Canadian law. This will undoubtedly limit freedom of expression.

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

Canada liberal government has 3 bills that when passed will be their most destructive bills ever put into law

Free speech will be ended, Canadians will be thrown in prison for social media posts, warrantless searches of phones, pre-crime punishments and even open your mail

Bill C-2 - empowers government employees, not police, to open your mail, search your phone or computer — all without a warrant.

Bill C-8 - gives cabinet ministers the power to kick Canadians off the internet, impose fines, and demand data — no judge, no police review.

Bill C-9 - removes legal safeguards around free speech. Justice Centre expands “hate” prosecutions.

Online Harms Act - brings pre-crime punishment: house arrest, ankle bracelets, curfews for people who haven’t committed a crime. Because they might. “If the Online Harms Act is brought back and passed into law, you're gonna see the Canadian Human Rights Commission with massive new powers to prosecute Canadians over offensive non-criminal speech with penalties up to $50,000” (This is a bill that insiders say is about to be revived and passed with the 3 above)

“Canada will be a police state by Christmas if Parliament passes bills C2, C8, and C9 in their current form. C2 is the Strong Borders Act. It should be called the Strong Surveillance Act. It empowers Canada Post to open letter mail without a warrant. It criminalizes the use of cash in amounts greater than $10,000.

And it empowers a vast army of government officials, not just police, to conduct warrantless searches of the computers and cell phones of Canadians. It is a massive invasion of privacy. It's extremely dangerous.”

“You're gonna see a Digital Safety Commission with a vast army of bureaucrats to enforce federal regulations that are passed in respective of the internet and internet contents. And you're gonna see Canadians punished preemptively because their neighbor fears that they might commit a hate speech crime in future, the Online Harms Act would authorize judges to place Canadians under house arrest, wearing an ankle bracelet and respect a curfew, et cetera. Giving the federal government, giving federal cabinet ministers power to kick Canadians off the internet is not necessary for protecting public safety or defending our national security.”

[Andrew Bridgen @ABridgen]

‼️ MUST WATCH: CANADA HAS GONE 100% COMMUNIST ‼️ Introduced on October 1, Bill C-8 will effectively end people’s lives on demand. If you say the 'wrong thing', the government will be able to immediately cut your internet and telephone.

[Michael Barrett @MikeBarrettON]

Secret. Warrantless. Dangerous.

Bill C8 gives Liberal Ministers power to seize your personal data & cut your internet—without a warrant, but with a gag order so you can’t talk about it.

If PM Carney won’t protect your rights, we will.

Share this. Spread the warning.

[Dr. Leslyn Lewis @LeslynLewis]

When governments pass vague hate laws, it’s not just extremists who are silenced.

In the UK, people were arrested for silent prayer.
In Australia, pastors investigated for sermons.
In New Zealand, ordinary debate risks being labelled “hate.”

This is what happens when governments pass vague hate laws.

Canada already criminalizes genocide, hate propaganda, vandalism, and attacks on places of worship. Bill C-9 doesn’t close a gap — it lowers the threshold, removes AG oversight, and vaguely redefines “hatred,” putting legitimate debate at risk.

Bad laws abroad have silenced citizens. Canada must not follow that path.

[Toronto Police Association @TPAca]

We are disappointed by the vote in the House of Commons regarding Bill C-242 ‘Jail Not Bail’ but we are hopeful the federal Liberals under PM Carney will do the right thing and step up with their own legislation. It doesn’t matter how this gets done, it just needs to be done now. We have made recommendations, in person and in writing, we have presented at Standing Committees and we have made public pleas for change that will keep our members and communities safe. This is not time for politics. It’s time to get it done. Our members and the public deserve better.
