Freaking unbelievable - PM Carney is bailing out developers with your money
Mark Carney just announced a de facto bailout for Vancouver-area developers.
With 2,500 finished but unsold condos sitting empty in Metro Vancouver alone, Carney and BC NDP Premier David Eby plan to use taxpayer dollars and “innovative financing” to buy and convert them into “affordable housing.”
Developers don’t want to sell at a loss and can’t hold them forever — taxpayers foot the bill so that the federal Liberals and BC NDP are stepping in to rescue them instead of letting the market correct prices downward.
This bailout underscores exactly why British Columbians need strong, independent leadership.
Instead of addressing the money laundering that has distorted our housing market and funded organized crime, Ottawa and the NDP are once again propping up the system that benefits criminals while families struggle to buy homes.
The Cullen Commission laid out the path forward. My plan delivers it: an independent Anti-Money Laundering Officer, aggressive provincial pressure on Ottawa for racketeering laws and FINTRAC sharing, and real action at Delta Port.
We will restore fairness, protect property rights, and make our communities safer. No more scandals. Real results for British Columbians.
Together, we can build the province our families deserve.
@Ben_oharabyrne@JasJohalBC And the media didn’t say this about Carney when they coronated hi….., sorry, I meant when he became leader of the Liberal party.
@Ben_oharabyrne@JasJohalBC Thanks for being respectful. I wasn’t commenting about the article, I was commenting on your remark, you imply that once people ‘get to know KLF that will change’. Why do you say that?
In 1983, Cliff Young, a 61-year-old potato farmer, showed up in work boots to compete in Australia’s toughest ultramarathon alongside elite athletes. Unaware that competitors were meant to sleep during the race, he kept running continuously. Against all expectations, he won by a margin of 10 hours.
In 1983, Cliff Young, a 61-year-old potato farmer, arrived at the start of the Westfield Sydney to Melbourne Ultramarathon looking entirely out of place. The race, stretching nearly 600 miles across Australia, was typically reserved for elite endurance athletes with specialized training, equipment, and support teams. Cliff turned up in loose overalls and rubber work boots, and most observers assumed he would not even make it through the first day.
Yet Cliff had spent much of his life herding sheep on his family farm, often covering long distances on foot for hours at a time. His running style was nothing like the others—short, shuffling, and unorthodox—but it was steady and relentless. Crucially, he was unaware of the standard race strategy, where competitors ran in long shifts and then slept for several hours. Cliff simply kept moving.
While the favorites stopped to rest, he continued through the night. As the days passed, it became clear he was not just surviving the race—he was leading it. Spectators began lining the route to watch the slow, determined figure pass mile after mile.
After 5 days, 15 hours, and 4 minutes, Cliff Young crossed the finish line in first place, finishing about 10 hours ahead of his nearest competitor and shattering the previous record by nearly two days. When he learned there was prize money, he reportedly gave it away to the other runners, saying they had all worked just as hard.
His distinctive running style later became known as the “Young Shuffle.” Initially mocked, it was eventually studied by ultramarathon athletes for its efficient, energy-conserving motion over extreme distances.
You’re aware that a 360 degree turn means you look busy spinning in a complete circle, but are actually still going the same direction (geometry is hard, like balancing budgets).
As this country embarks on a 360-degree nation-building makeover, Canadians have more questions than ever. Rosemary Barton is doing her best to get answers—no filler. https://t.co/KD7moiUgKI

David Cochrane: What is the mood in your caucus, in your party, now that the Liberals have a majority government, the second one in a decade?
