NDP Housing minister Christine Boyle says this isn’t a bailout. Tell that to the BC taxpayers footing the bill for NDP incompetence. The Housing Minister can’t answer basic questions on her own plan. Time for real solutions, not more excuses.
Carney and Eby are now blaming each other for their condo bailout.
The bottom line is that the Liberals and the NDP inflated a housing bubble. The bubble has burst. Now they are forcing taxpayers, who can’t afford homes and food, to bail out their developer donors.

“I never thought I’d live to see the day when the right wing would become the cool ones giving the middle finger to the establishment, and the left wing becoming the snivelling self-righteous twats, going around shaming everyone.”
- John Lydon, The Sex Pistols
The NDP calls us extreme? Let's be clear about who is truly extreme.
David Eby and the NDP have pushed a radical ideological agenda that is failing British Columbians. Their soft-on-crime approach has led to out-of-control extortion and violence in our communities. Their failed safe supply experiment has worsened the addiction crisis rather than solving it. And in critical court cases, they refused to properly defend fee simple property rights, abandoning homeowners, farmers, and investors.
This is not compassionate governance. It is extreme overreach that puts ideology ahead of people and results.
We offer a better path: safer communities, secure property rights, lower taxes, and economic prosperity for every family. I am committed to uniting our party and province to defeat the NDP and restore hope to British Columbia.
Join me. Let's build a brighter future together.
The fact that they hate being criticized so much is probably a good sign that they should be criticized more. They're far more dangerous when they think they're getting away with it.
Here is a list of powers Liberal Bill C34 proposes to give to cabinet and a new regulator over what content Canadians can see and interact with online.
Cabinet will be able to designate new categories of regulated online services without Parliamentary debate.

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.

I'm prepared to go to jail over this.
My grandmother Rita Pete went to St. Mary's Indian Residential School. She experienced terrible abuse. As a consequence, she struggled with alcohol use most of her life.
My mother was born with FASD as a consequence of her using alcohol to cope with her trauma.
I am Chief of my community Chawathil First Nation. I am working to address the longstanding impacts of these past policies through renovating homes, building new homes, creating childcare, and growing businesses through economic development.
I have interviewed people who went to Indian Residential Schools. I have interviewed people who believe Indian Residential Schools were awful, horrible schools, meant to remove the Indian from the child.
I've also interviewed people who believe they were well intended, generous investments by Canadian taxpayers meant to assimilate a society and had shortcomings.
Like with many things, the history is dark, complicated, and with any policy that existed for a long time, across a whole country - there were different experiences.
No one story tells us everything. No report shares the full experience of the individuals who went. No commentator today can disprove someone's lived experience with statistics.
The path forward is not to criminalize speech, questions, or debate.
The path forward is empathy for past attendees.
The path forward is truth based on facts.
The path forward is real conversations.
The path forward is to lean into complexity.
If the government criminalizes this, then I will be a criminal for having these conversations.
If I am a criminal by the laws definition, then I am committed to going to jail over this.
So let me get this straight...
Canada is in a recession—the only G7 country currently in one. Unemployment is up. Inflation is rising. Food insecurity is at a record high.
Yet the highest proportion of Canadians since 2017 now say the country is on the right track.
That's either a remarkable display of optimism—or a sign that many Canadians aren't getting the full economic story from the news they consume.
Three of Mark Carney’s flight catering bills could feed a family for a decade.
This Liberal Prime Minister spent $524,000 in taxpayer money on airplane food since last year.
Call for this costly spending to end: https://t.co/rTSx5U04VJ
Tearing down the notice of a missing 14 year old autistic girl, simply because she is Jewish, is evil on so many levels that I don’t even know where to start.
Vile hatred against Jews is moving from an ugly sentiment to dangerous actions.
We must end this now. And make Canada a safe place for Jews and all people.
Poilievre mocked the Liberal plan to ship B.C. LNG to Europe via long global routes, joking Conservatives will introduce a "Geography 101" bill for the natural resources minister.
He says Canada should be exporting from the East Coast.
74,000 bogus asylum claimants are getting benefits like vision care while millions of Canadians don't have a family doctor.
This is unfair.
Restrict health benefits for failed asylum claimants to emergency lifesaving care.
Deport those with no legal reason to be in Canada.
Great news Alberta!
A critical milestone has been reached under the Canada-Alberta energy agreement (MOU) so that our province can expect approval from the Federal Major Projects Office for actual construction of the West Coast Pipeline on or before September 1, 2027.
When achieved, this would be the fastest approval of a major oil pipeline from Alberta in a generation!
This project will deliver 1,000,000 new barrels of Alberta oil every single day to new Asian markets, creating jobs, strengthening our economy, and generating a phenomenal amount of wealth for Albertans and Canadians for decades to come.
And just as importantly, Alberta has successfully fought to permanently end Justin Trudeau’s punitive oil and gas production cap and roll back his absurdly high industrial carbon price to a much more realistic level that will save our job creators over $250 billion and protect the livelihoods of Alberta workers.
This is what happens when Alberta stands strong.
Virtual private network service NordVPN joined Apple, Signal and US Congress in warning Canada Govt about privacy ramifications from legislation that expands Ottawa’s surveillance and data access powers. NordVPN and Signal warn they might leave Canada. https://t.co/hseUVQlDKv
The most damning line in this entire complaint is Al-Saadi's own recorded words — admitting his network personally directed attacks on Canadian soil.
We didn't find this out from our government. We didn't find this out from Canadian security services. We found it out from another country.
This is a national security failure. And it should shake every Canadian.

This is appalling, doubly so as this fraudulent activity is being conducted with our tax dollars.
Lindsay, prompted by this, I've just ordered ten copies of A Day with Sir John A as gifts for kids. It looks wonderful!
(By the way, I tried to order from @chaptersindigo as I try to support Canadian vendors, but for some reason they don't seem to carry this Canadian children's book about Canada's founding Prime Minsiter😏)
@NewWorldHominin
To be fair, this headline is wrong.
It would be a "debt fund" not a "wealth fund".
True sovereign wealth funds like Norway's are built from surpluses. Canada is running massive deficits.
This is akin to a man who's in debt borrowing hundreds of thousands to buy stocks.
