🚨 BREAKING: Each and every member of Mark Carney’s Liberals just voted to shut down a witness, Margaret McCuaig-Johnston at the Science and Research Committee on the subject of Chinese-made EVs and forced labour because her testimony does not match the Liberal government's narrative.
Liberals preach "values" when it is easy. But they shut down testimony when it matters.
Dear @liberal_party government,
I heard your announcement about topping up the GST rebate to help with food inflation, and I want you to understand something right away.
It did not make me feel helped. It made me feel dismissed.
Because this is the pattern now. Every time your poll numbers slip, every time the Prime Minister embarrasses himself, every time the public starts asking uncomfortable questions, out comes the same solution. More cheques. It is like you believe Canadians are toddlers who stop crying when you shake loose change at them.
But groceries are not expensive because Canadians forgot how to budget. They are expensive because of policy. And that is the part you refuse to talk about.
Food inflation in Canada is not just “global forces.” It is also built into our system. We have carbon taxes on fuel, transport, fertilizer and processing. We have fuel regulations that quietly raise costs every year. We have a dairy supply management system that legally forces Canadians to overpay for milk, butter and cheese so a protected industry mostly in Ontario and Quebec can stay profitable. We have trade barriers that limit competition. We have massive regulatory costs on farmers and food processors. We have a government that keeps adding cost, then pretends to be shocked when prices go up.
And instead of fixing any of that, you send out a rebate and call it compassion. Do you see how insulting that feels? It is like you broke my window, then handed me a towel to weather the rainstorm.
If you were serious about food affordability, you would do the hard things.
* You would reform supply management.
*You would stop layering climate policy onto food production without considering the price impact.
* You would reduce regulatory costs instead of pretending they are invisible.
* You would actually measure whether your policies are making food more expensive.
But that would require admitting that government can be part of the problem. So instead, you throw money at the symptom and protect the cause.
And let us talk about trust for a second. You say no oversight is needed because this is urgent. You say no transparency is needed because this is compassionate. You say no accountability is needed because this is about helping people.
But Canadians have watched what happens when you spend without oversight. SDTC. ArriveCan. Billions lost, misused, or handed to friends. No consequences. No claw-backs. No real answers. So now you want us to believe this time will be different. This time the money will fix the problem. This time it will not be wasted. This time it will not disappear. This time it will not be used to buy political loyalty.
But here is the truth. Money is not a solution when government policy is the cause. It is just a distraction. You are asking taxpayers to fund the damage done by your own decisions, instead of changing those decisions. That is not leadership. That is political damage control. And Canadians are tired of being treated like a PR problem instead of a policy problem.
We do not need another rebate. We need a government that stops making food more expensive in the first place. Respectfully, stop tossing cheques at the mess you created and calling it help. Fix the system.

This guy nails it.
“Everything Canadian liberals think America is, China ACTUALLY is.”
I’ll never understand why their thinking is so backwards and inverted.
My husband is deployed. I have a newborn and a toddler. The grass in my yard was knee-high. I just couldn’t get to it. I was exhausted. I heard a mower outside at 7 AM on a Saturday. I was annoyed. I looked out. It was three teenage boys from the neighborhood. They were mowing my lawn. Weeding the flower beds. Trimming the hedges. I ran out. ‘How much do you charge?’ The leader, a kid named Mike, wiped his forehead. ‘Nothing, Ma’am. We saw the flag on your porch. We know your husband’s away. My dad was in the Marines. We know how hard it is.’ They finished. They even swept the driveway. I tried to give them money. They refused. ‘Just tell him thanks when he calls,’ Mike said. I took a picture and sent it to my husband. He cried. America isn’t what you see on the news. America is three teenagers mowing a lawn for a stranger because it’s the right thing to do.

Hundreds of Canadians are SHOWING UP demanding Michael Ma RESIGN.
This doesn’t stop here.
Pressure WORKS.
Silence protects betrayal.
KEEP SHOWING UP.
KEEP SHARING.
KEEP APPLYING PRESSURE.
Voters deserve ANSWERS.
And ACCOUNTABILITY.
A friendly reminder that 99% of the male population in Canada who followed hockey in the 80’s, 90’s and well into the 2000’s, wanted a Rock’em Sock’em video under their Christmas tree every year. 🍒 🎄
