Great point.

OUTRAGEOUS

The Carney Govt BACKDATED the "spaceport" lease FUNNELLING $20M tax dollars to the nearly-bankrupt Maritime Launch Services for NO WORK.

After this BAILOUT the Board Chair IMMEDIATELY SOLD his previously worthless shares POCKETING $1.8 MILLION.

TOTAL CORRUPTION.

[Ryan Gerritsen🇨🇦🇳🇱 @ryangerritsen]

Champagne is painful. I’d like to know how exactly a prediction is supposed to be considered good news? It’s all this Government runs on is speculation from outside organizations. They said the same thing last year and look what happened to Canada’s economy.

And when did 1.7% growth be considered something to be excited about?

COLUMN: C’mon Liberals, just admit Trudeau's failed climate policies were a costly disaster
In the real world, taxpayers can only hope that accusations from Liberal critics that Carney is “backsliding” on Trudeau's policies, turn out to be true.

If you’re inadmissible to Canada, that means you can’t land at Vancouver airport with a Visa and you can’t terrorize diaspora communities in 🇨🇦. But it happens. And the minister can’t answer a single question about why she lets it happen.

This was attempt 3 to get an answer that made any sense at all. 👇

We no longer have a government that shares the values and core beliefs of a significant amount of Canadians!

Who agrees ?

DOCUMENTS: 19,000 new Covid ventilators, all purchased through sole-sourced contracts, were sold as scrap at pennies a pound, according to Public Health Agency @GovCanHealth. Admission is highest figure yet on confirmed waste under $1.1 billion pandemic ventilator program.

This is exactly the kind of divisive nonsense coming from the NDP that is tearing British Columbia apart.

Public parks like Joffre Lakes belong to all British Columbians. Not one group to shut down whenever they feel like it. The Líl̓wat Nation can harvest their plants and exercise their rights anytime they want. They do not need the entire park closed for weeks to do it. This so called reconnection shutdown is a completely manufactured problem.

The province offering 31 days is still far too much. These full closures punish families, tourists and working people who count on these parks. Overuse and garbage? Fix it properly. Garbage cleanup should be a public initiative done in real partnership with First Nations. Get volunteers, locals and Nation members working side by side to clean the trails and lakes. That is actual stewardship. But have they even asked the public for help? Of course not. This is all about control.

Let me be clear. Shutting down Highway 99 is illegal. Blocking a provincial highway is lawlessness, plain and simple. The fact is the NDP are choosing not to enforce the law. They are weak. They are terrified of being called out and they are selling out public access to pander.

This is what DRIPA and unlimited accommodation gets you. Two tier access where regular British Columbians pay the taxes but get pushed out of their own backyard. Enough is enough. Public land must be managed for the public interest. For everyone. Reasonable cultural access yes. Blanket shutdowns and veto power no.

[Matt Strauss @strauss_matt]

Good morning Canadian taxpayers; I just saved you $50 million!

On Monday, after 2 months of pushing, I asked the Health Minister why she doesn’t just cancel the funding to Canada Health Infoway.

The next day, she announced a “pause” on that funding.

Let’s keep pushing!

[Canada Proud @WeAreCanProud]

Mark Carney's trade policies are so DISASTROUS that they're catching the attention of the Japanese.

The Japan Times published an article on Tuesday noting that "Mark Carney’s trade push collides with reality."

Not only is he FAILING in his negotiations with the United States, but he's FAILING to find new trade partners from around the world.

How bad is the situation?

According to The Japan Times, "Canadian officials acknowledge that the main draw for many potential trading partners is the prospect of gaining tariff-free access to the world’s largest market through Canada’s participation in ‌the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade ‌agreement."

In other words, the only reason many of these countries wanted to trade with us in the first place is because it would give them backdoor access to American markets.

If Mark Carney can't secure that American market, then these other countries are simply not interested.

But the report gets even worse.

Acknowledging that Japanese companies own 75% of Canada's auto producers, the report further states that "for many of the Japanese companies investing here, one of the reasons for their investment is definitely the special access Canada has enjoyed ​over the long years."

If we can't maintain access to the American market, then the Japanese companies won't see a as much of a reason to produce autos here.

Do you think Mark Carney will be able to fix the mess he's created?

After Carney appointed Omar Alghabra to a new antisemitism advisory council, Pierre Poilievre: “I remember Mr. Alghabra lobbying me before he was in politics to keep Hezbollah legal, so I’m not sure that he’s the right guy to combat antisemitism.”

Floor-crosser Lori Idlout says her culture is still being erased.

Taxpayers are funding over $24 billion a year through Indigenous Services Canada alone.

That does not include other federal departments, other services, provincial spending or local funding.

So where is the money going?

If billions keep flowing and the system is still failing, then stop hiding behind victimhood and start with the word everyone loves to use:

Truth.

Full audit.

Every department.

Every program.

Every Indigenous nation, council, organization and group receiving taxpayer money.

Show where the money went.

Show who actually benefited.

Show what failed.

If this is really about Truth and Reconciliation, then start with the truth.

Or is full disclosure too much to ask from the Liberal government and the reconciliation industry?

They can ban social media in the name of safety, but they cant track down thousands of illegals needing to be deported. This has zero to do with safety and is 100% about control!

See the pattern yet? Note how it’s always for “safety” and “protecting children”.

There’s more I could list if this isn’t enough to at least make you stop and think “what is the end goal here?”
