Trump Sells the Gordie Howe Bridge to Canada for $25 Billion Dollars.

Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters,
"This is a massive win for Canada. We secured this critical infrastructure at a tremendous value - a true bargain for the Canadian people, plus a clear demonstration of our elbows-up strategy, and how we are Building Canada Strong."

Liberals across the country are calling it the deal of the century, while CBC News hails it as a masterclass in strategic procurement.

Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre commented, "I have to admit, this is one hell of a deal."

Canada’s economy is not healthy. It is being propped up by population growth, government spending and political spin.

The number that matters is not total GDP. It is GDP per person, real income per person and how much your paycheque actually buys.

Between 2015 and the end of 2025, real disposable income per person grew by less than 4 per cent in total. That is a lost decade.

Productivity is the bigger disaster. Trevor Tombe estimates that if Canada had simply kept pace with the United States over the past ten years, our economy would now be roughly $600 billion larger every year.

That missing wealth shows up everywhere:

Lower wages.

Weaker investment.

Higher taxes.

Larger deficits.

Fewer businesses.

Less purchasing power.

Canada did this to itself.

We blocked pipelines, slowed mines, delayed infrastructure, raised taxes, buried projects in regulation and relied on mass immigration to make total GDP look better than the lived reality.

I also believe Canada entered a technical recession. Real GDP contracted in the fourth quarter of 2025 and again in the first quarter of 2026 on an annualized basis.

Economists can debate definitions. Canadians are living the result.

Unemployment has risen. Purchasing power has weakened. Housing is unaffordable. Business investment is poor. GDP per person has fallen. Millions of Canadians feel poorer because they are poorer.

Canada now produces only about 70 per cent as much per person as the United States. Even with strong reforms, it could take decades to recover the ground lost since 2014.

At the same time, we must pay for an aging population, rising healthcare costs and much higher defence spending.

That means hard choices.

We need lower taxes on investment, faster project approvals, more resource development, serious spending restraint, healthcare reform and a realistic trade strategy centred on the United States.

We also need an honest debate about benefits paid to wealthy seniors while younger Canadians face impossible housing costs, higher taxes and mounting public debt.

I say that as a senior.

Canada’s problem is not a lack of resources, talent or opportunity.

It is bad policy.

That should make us angry, but it should also give us hope.

What politicians broke through bad decisions can be repaired through better ones.

The first step is to stop pretending aggregate GDP growth means Canadians are getting ahead.

They are not.

Wealth tax explained:

1. Laura loves to cook, she risks all her life savings and opens a small restaurant: Laura‘s Kitchen

2. Laura works really hard, evenings, weekends, no vacations

3. The local community loves Laura‘s Kitchen, it’s a success, the restaurant gets larger, Laura hires 30 people from the neighborhood

4. Laura makes 1,5 Million € in profit, she pays 40% in income tax: 600,000€

5. The left „tax the rich“ party wins the elections, and introduces a wealth tax

6. Laura‘s Kitchen gets valued by the tax authorities at 25 Million €. Laura must pay 5% wealth tax: 1,25 Million €

7. The income tax of 600,000€ plus 1,25 Million € in wealth tax is more than the 1,5 Million € Laura makes

8. Laura cannot afford to pay more taxes than she makes, she closes Laura’s Kitchen

9. Laura loses her life savings despite years of hard work, 30 people lose their jobs, the state receives zero taxes

10. The local community goes to McDonalds again

11. The local left “tax the rich“ party members blame „capitalism“ for that on social media

12. Everyone gets poorer due to higher unemployment and lower tax revenues

Why is this so difficult for the left to understand?

There is a mass wave of migration happening right now.

Spend an hour outside an immigration office in downtown Red Deer like I did, and you can see it with your own eyes. Some of the people I tried to speak with could barely communicate in English, yet they are already here, using our services, entering our systems, and relying on government support.

That should concern every Albertan.

Not because every immigrant is bad. My wife is an immigrant. I support legal, controlled, points-based immigration with high expectations.

But immigration only works when people can actually integrate.

When migration happens too fast, when people arrive in numbers too large to absorb, when language, culture, law, and loyalty are treated as optional, society starts to fracture.

We are already seeing conflicts in Canada that we never imagined would be brought here. Foreign hatreds, extremist sympathies, and street protests supporting causes that have nothing to do with Canada's future are now appearing in Canadian cities.

If people want to come here, they should leave those conflicts behind.

Come here. Learn the language. Respect the law. Integrate. Contribute. Become part of the society you joined.

Citizenship is sacred because citizenship gives people power over our future.

But Ottawa is not treating it that way.

If Alberta votes to stay in Canada forever, we are voting to surrender this issue to Ottawa forever.

Toronto and Montreal can choose their own future.

Albertans should be able to choose ours.

This is another reason to support Alberta independence.

The “landlocked Alberta” argument assumes Alberta has no leverage.

But B.C. relies on Alberta in two critical ways: energy moving west and trade corridors moving east.

Inside Confederation, Ottawa manages that relationship for us.

As an independent country, Alberta would negotiate directly — with strength, clarity, and control.

Alberta can do better.

@Cameron_Parke The dollar is already crap at 70c. Canada does best when the dollar is high 80c and low 90c. 70c is crap. It’s already tough. Imagine it being in the 60c range.

[Keith Wilson @ikwilson]

The pipeline announcement is being sold as a win.

But the Canadian Taxpayers Federation is right: governments should scrap carbon taxes and anti-pipeline red tape instead of borrowing billions for pipelines.

That is the real issue.

Alberta does not have a resource problem.

Alberta has an Ottawa problem.

@unfilteredwkels Shit Manitoba, has had some of the worst flooding and instead of helping them out liberals send money to Ukraine. Talk about putting your people first.

Hey Canada
No high speed rail will be built
No satellites will be launched
No pipelines will be built
No submarines will be built
I say it’s all bullshit.
Much money will disappear however.

The math required to simply exist as an adult in America today has officially crossed into pure madness.

Thirty years ago, a standard entry-level job paying $35,000 a year could easily fund a comfortable apartment, a reliable car, and leave enough left over to save for a house.

Today, that exact same lifestyle requires an absolute mountain of cash just to break even.

If you look at the actual bills right now, the median rent for a basic apartment is $2,100 a month. A standard used car payment is sitting at $520, and the monthly cost to simply insure it has spiked to $218.

Throw in a modest $400 grocery bill for one person, a $150 utility bill, and a $430 average student loan payment.

Before you even buy a single gallon of gas, a cup of coffee, or a basic pair of shoes, you are burning exactly $3,818 every single month just to not be homeless.

To safely clear that baseline after taxes, an individual has to make over $60,000 a year.

We don't have a lack of discipline or a budgeting problem.

We have a reality problem where the cost of survival has completely outpaced what an ordinary day job actually pays.

@phoebegurl06 @BertaProudDad Umm no. It’s because USA and Canada relationship is in the gutter. Carny has public stated a few times now that the relationship between USA and Canada is over. Meanwhile Mexico is currently on there 3 round of negotiations. What did carny say. Oh yeah. Who cares.

[Legacy @Legacyathome]

@Arianikle Yes.

[Legacy @Legacyathome]

@RevZekveld There is not a lot of money in pipelines. It’s what’s in the pipeline that matters. And yes we are moving towards communism and nationalization of our economy. Auto, grocery and yes oil and gas.
