Brookfield partnered with Concert Properties 15 days before Carney announced the condo bailout in Vancouver.

And as was to be expected, Concert Properties is one of the developers receiving a portion of the billions in bailout cash.

This isn't a conflict of interest. It's embezzlement.

@ctvottawa Stupid petition by a busybody in Victoria and given life by Elizabeth May. Read the article. The maintenance cost over a 10 year period is 78 grand a year. Grand master Carney spends more than that on one inflight catering trip! There's your cost savings!

Mark Carney and his Liberal government are bailing out banks and developers after decades of rampant money laundering and corruption in Vancouver's housing market.

Sam Cooper is the expert in what's known globally as the "Vancouver Model" of money laundering. Here he gives a short synopsis of the system that led to Vancouver's condo crash.

Full episode premieres everywhere tomorrow, July 8th.

Xi’s strategy is to stall and distract while continuing China’s overcapacity, coercion, espionage, foreign interference, support for Russia, or pressure on Taiwan. 3/7

[Unfiltered With Kels @unfilteredwkels]

The truth hurts. $900 million more gone while Canadians can’t afford groceries, rent is out of control, and our healthcare system is collapsing.

Over $26 Billion sent overseas since 2022.

When do WE become the priority?

When are any of these politicians gonna finally stand up and do what’s right?

Stop being a bunch of scared babies.

I could do your job in my sleep.

@MichaelKovrig It's already too late. BYD is already planning 20 dealerships in Canada and the agreement will allow for more Chinese EV's in the future.

[Jason James @jasonjamesbnn]

15 days before the multi-billion dollar Vancouver condo bailout was announced, BROOKFIELD entered into a deal with Concert Properties—a major Vancouver area condo developer.

So to get this straight, Brookfield—the asset management firm Mark Carney co-chaired—bought into the exact condo market Canadian tax payers are spending billions of dollars bailing out after decades of Chinese money laundering and corruption brought it to the verge of collapse.

Halliburton/Cheney level insider dealing. How is this considered even somewhat legitimate by any standards?

Mark Carney was installed to sell Canada piece by piece to Brookfield at pennies on the dollar and send billions of our dollars into his "blind trust."

If this were any other era he'd be removed immediately. But since Canada stands for nothing but platitudes this is just business as usual now.

[Aaron Gunn @AaronGunn]

BREAKING: The Liberals have moved to shut down debate on their billion-dollar bailout of billionaire Vancouver developers.

Refusing to answer straightforward questions on where this idea came from, who lobbied for it and which developers, banks and foreign investors stand to benefit the most.

Cover up? This is crony capitalism at its worse.

TESLA’S NEXT-GEN OPTIMUS V3 HAND IS GETTING CLOSE TO HUMAN-LEVEL

Tesla engineers just shared new details on the Optimus V3 hand — and the progress is striking.

They’re now saying that as they move into Gen-3 and mass production, the hand is getting very close to human functionality and form factor.

One engineer described it clearly:
“It won’t even look like a robot. It will look like a human in a superhero suit. It will be something revolutionary.”
This level of dexterity and human-like design is a critical milestone. The hand is one of the hardest parts of building a truly useful humanoid robot — and Tesla is iterating extremely fast.

[Juno News @junonewscom]

Poilievre questions whether Carney has changed his mind on oil and gas.

"Why hasn't he repealed Bill C-69, lifted B.C.'s oil tanker ban, or scrapped the planned 500% increase in the industrial carbon tax?" he said.

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

Media: But what should the government do about these 2,200 vacant condos?

Me: Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

[Rise Of Alberta @RiseOfAlberta]

One of the dumbest arguments against Alberta independence is that “Alberta won’t have a military, so America will invade.”

Right.

Because the only thing stopping the United States from invading Canada is Canada’s overwhelming military superiority.

People need to get serious.

"So we wasted 10 years and $200 billion dollars"

Every single Canadian worked almost an entire extra year to pay the income taxes the Liberals wasted on climate nonsense that divided the country and left us poorer and economically vulnerable to Trump.

Breaking: The Montreal Canadiens have locked up winger Ivan Demidov, the best rookie forward in the NHL last season, his agent announced Wednesday.

Demidov, has signed an 8-year contract extension with an average annual value of $9.125 million against the salary cap.

[Eric Engels @EricEngels]

Initial reaction to news of Ivan Demidov's eight-year, $73 million deal ($58M in SB and a 10-team NTC in last three years): Just incredible value for the Canadiens on a star headed towards superstardom.
This kid wants to win!
Wait until you see what the other pending RFAs get...
