You can tell Bloomberg isn't Canadian, and thus doesn't receive Mark Carney's massive media subsidy. Because this headline would be unthinkable for a government-funded journalist in Canada to write.
And this is just one botched story. Apply this observation from Glavin on the graves story across fentanyl, foreign interference, floor crossing coverage, coverage of Polievre, etc. It is ‘PMO influenced coverage,’ it includes PMO freezing out journalists and newsrooms that dig too hard. I have receipts, don’t care that much anymore, not trying to reform, rather out perform. “This is about #journalism. It’s about the collaboration of very powerful, influential, well paid editors and journalists”
Canada is in recession and has no gold reserves.
Ukraine is not in recession and has 27.3 tons of gold, valued at $3.8B USD.
Why the fuck is Canada giving Ukraine, or any other country, money?
This is beyond corrupt. This is criminal.
This is worth watching. Also, don't let it be lost on anyone that Carney created a majority through floor-crossers, restacked gov't committees and used this to quash a committee investigating massive corruption.
Elbows up people, you did this. Proud?
“Dominion of Canada” is traditionally tied to Psalm 72:8, especially through Sir Samuel Leonard Tilley, one of the Fathers of Confederation.
The verse, in the King James wording, is: “He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.”
Happy Dominion Day!
You can't vote your way out of a Fascist Regime. Once a fascist or authoritarian regime takes hold, it systematically dismantles the democratic mechanisms meant to check its power. Carney has already shut down the committees and used floor crossers to gain a majority, nothing democratic about that at all.
We did. And not that long ago either.
I’ll never forget being in Vienna for a protest when there was a lockdown solely for the unvaccinated.
Just by existing, breathing the air outside, meant we were in violation of the law.
Canada
Your prime minister was installed. It's true.
He then won the election after having little chance.
Then he made deals to steal a majority.
His biggest accomplishment is enriching his own portfolio.
You are the only nation in the g20 having a recession.
They've shut down debate and are just ramming through bills to become law and entrap you in a digital prison.
And the majority defend it, love it, thank it.
Canada is being fleeced, we're being robbed, and most aren't mad at the people doing it, they're mad at the people seeing it.
During Gregor Robertson’s @gregorrobertson time as Vancouver Mayor from 2008 to 2018, massive amounts of dirty money from China and Asian criminal networks poured into BC real estate, especially luxury condos. This foreign hot money supercharged the speculative boom that developers like Daljit Thind and others rode hard, building thousands of investor focused units that now sit empty.
Instead of cracking down, Robertson’s Vision Vancouver government, heavily funded by those same developers, approved wave after wave of towers while the problem grew. The BC NDP, who took over provincially, then deliberately downplayed China’s role in money laundering. Their own Cullen Commission inquiry was softened, with senior lawyer Brock Martland admitting they avoided criticizing China. The NDP’s 2020 platform didn’t even mention money laundering.
To top it off, Vancouver officials under Robertson’s successor hijacked the term “Vancouver Model,” originally coined to describe exactly how Chinese elites and syndicates laundered dirty money through Vancouver properties, and redefined it as drug decriminalization. This was a deliberate deflection to protect the real estate gravy train.
Now the bubble has burst. The same political machine, with Robertson as federal Housing Minister working with Premier David Eby, is using 3.2 billion dollars in taxpayer money to bail out the very developers and lenders who profited from the dirty money fueled boom.
It is one continuous corrupt loop: foreign dirty money inflates the market, politicians take developer donations and look the other way, overbuilding creates a glut, taxpayers are forced to rescue the connected players when it collapses. Robertson sits at the center of this, from selling access as mayor to announcing the bailout as minister, while ordinary Canadians pay for the cleanup.
Newly obtained Canada Revenue Agency records show temporary residents received more than $1.35 billion in Canada Child Benefit (CCB) payments between 2020 and 2023, including $369.1 million in 2023 alone.

UPDATE: The day after we attempted to begin clean-up of the kill pen at Universal Ostrich Farms, CFIA sent an e-mail stating the quarantine is still in effect, after 7 months, and we could face fines or PROSECUTION if we continue.
I have found live ammunition left behind and there is now concerns of fire starting as the bales dry. A fire poses risks to the property here as well as adjoining properties and the entire Valley
The government won't clean up their mess, they won't allow anyone else to clean it up, the family is forced to look at it everyday and if anyone tries to help they will be prosecuted.
They expect the family to implement biosecurity protocols that they never followed themselves.
None of this is about safety!
Young people in BC have been effectively priced out of the housing market. And, as with any speculative mania, someone eventually ends up holding overpriced assets that they can’t move. So rather than letting the market discipline the speculative excesses of the developers, and do young homebuyers a huge service, our corporate collectivist governments team up to bail them out and give the bill to the taxpayers. Canada is governed by the worst people it produces.
Granular knowledge of how the Vancouver Condo Kings are the major supporters of people like Gregor Robertson, Justin Trudeau and Mark Carney was my past reporting beat. I’m not going back to it, other reporters need to pick that up. Read JWR’s chapter about meeting Trudeau in his friend’s pent house to understand who Carney is bailing out. I can say the Chinese money behind all these Liberals makes the story so much worse than a Liberal bail out of slick developers. This is scandalous and nationally ruinous.
