The Liberal government under Carney isn’t just failing transparency.

They’re actively blocking it.

Liberal MPs just voted 5-4 to shut down committee hearings into secret toll deals on the Gordie Howe Bridge.

Same party that doesn’t want anyone looking too closely at the condo buyout program either.

When a government refuses to let Parliament examine its own major spending decisions, it’s not “protecting process.”

It’s protecting itself.

One Liberal MP even said he was “offended” that Canadians might think the Prime Minister lied.

Offended.

Not concerned about the truth.
Offended that people are asking questions.

That’s the culture now.

No probes.
No answers.
Just power protecting power.

Trudeau has argued that vaccination was a choice. Yet in this clip, he openly describes using restrictions as an incentive to increase vaccination.

His words:

“You don’t get to get back to things you like to do… unless you get vaccinated.”

Many Canadians say they felt intense pressure after being told they could lose access to travel, work, or public spaces if they remained unvaccinated.

Whether you supported those policies or opposed them, it’s worth asking: how much government pressure is too much?

The Freedom Convoy became a defining moment for many Canadians because they believed those limits had crossed a line.

Today, Trudeau has largely moved on from that chapter.

History shouldn’t.

This is several kilometers before the border crossing into the US at Peace Arch this weekend... Where's the mainstream media? Ahhh, right, this fails to play into their narrative they have been constructing since Carney appeared.
Canada, under this, you are being played, you are being controlled, you are being managed into decline.
The US is not our enemy, the enemy is within, starting with the Liberals, their attack media, and Canadians unwillingness to question the government.

🇨🇦 The biggest barrier to Canadian liquor isn't Donald Trump. It's Canada's premiers.

Can someone explain how this makes any sense?

A bottle of Canadian Club that can cost around $67.50 in Canada can be found in parts of the United States for about $18.99 USD.

The product is Canadian.

The jobs are Canadian.

The grain is Canadian.

Yet Canadians often pay dramatically more than American consumers.

Why?

Because governments have built a system that punishes Canadian producers and Canadian consumers.

Ron Kubek of Lightning Rock Winery has repeatedly exposed the absurdity. He has explained that, in many cases, it is easier and less costly to sell wine into the United States, even facing a 50% tariff, than it is to sell to another Canadian province.

That should outrage every Canadian.

Back in February 2025, Canada's First Ministers promised to tear down interprovincial trade barriers.

Eighteen months later, they gathered again in Charlottetown for another photo opportunity and signed another Memorandum of Understanding.

More headlines.

More handshakes.

More promises.

But where are the results?

The premiers proudly announced expanded direct-to-consumer alcohol sales between provinces, yet the biggest costs remain untouched.

Provincial liquor monopolies.

Wholesale markups.

Excise taxes.

Provincial sales taxes.

Bottle deposits.

Environmental fees.

Licensing costs.

Shipping restrictions.

Layers of government red tape.

That isn't free trade.

It's government-controlled trade.

Meanwhile, premiers continue to blame Donald Trump while ignoring the barriers they themselves created.

If a Canadian winery or distillery can sometimes reach customers in another country more easily than customers in another province, then Canada's internal trade system is fundamentally broken.

The real winners are provincial governments.

British Columbia's Liquor Distribution Branch alone generated more than $1 billion in net income in 2024. Ontario's government liquor system generated even more. These monopolies have become hidden tax machines that governments are reluctant to reform.

### Here is what real leadership would look like:

✅ Eliminate provincial liquor monopolies and allow open wholesale competition.

✅ Remove provincial markups on products made in Canada.

✅ Recognize one licence for all Canadian producers so they can sell coast to coast.

✅ End duplicate provincial regulations and paperwork.

✅ Create a true Canadian free market where a bottle produced in British Columbia can be sold as easily in Ontario as it is in British Columbia.

If our premiers are serious about affordability...

If they're serious about supporting Canadian businesses...

If they're serious about standing up to U.S. tariffs...

Then stop signing MOUs and start eliminating the barriers that Canadians created for themselves.

Here's the question:

Who is doing more damage to Canadian wineries, distilleries and consumers today: Donald Trump's tariffs or Canada's own provincial governments?

So Canada is now in the business of prosecuting emotions and feelings?

Most British Columbians have no idea how much public land is being given away as part of the NDP’s radical land back agenda. 

In this case, its prime properties in the heart of our provincial capital, an entire provincial park and more.

Let’s get back to this simple principle: BC’s public land and parks belong to *all* British Columbians.

Bottom line:
The harder you work and the more you put in, the more the system takes from you and gives to people who put in nothing.
Equalization, EI, CPP, welfare, asylum and refugee supports — every one of them works the same way. The people who pull up their socks, work their asses off, pay taxes for decades, and actually contribute get the short end. The ones who contribute the least (or nothing at all) get the bigger transfers, the easier benefits, the longer support, and the faster access to services.
Alberta and the other high-contribution provinces are treated like permanent cash cows. Seniors who worked 40–45 years watch newcomers and long-term non-workers collect more in handouts than they get after a lifetime of paying in. The formulas and rules keep expanding the payouts and the loopholes year after year.
It’s not complicated. The system keeps rewarding the people who don’t put in the work and punishing the ones who do.
A lot of us who still believe in work, responsibility, and contribution are done watching it.

“Dear Dr. Fauci,

For 12 years, I was an emergency room nurse. I loved caring for people on their hardest days. I wasn’t looking for a fight or trying to make a statement — I just wanted to care for my patients and go home to my family.

Then I was faced with a decision that changed everything.

I spent countless hours praying, researching, and searching my heart. I wasn’t acting out of fear. I was trying to make the right medical decision for my own body and my own circumstances.

When the time came, I said no.

That one word cost me the career I’d spent 12 years building. My husband and I sold nearly everything we owned and moved across the country to Tennessee to start over. You don’t make a decision like that unless your convictions run deeper than your comfort.

But losing my career wasn’t the hardest part. Watching our profession change was.

I watched patients ridiculed for their choices, labeled “non-compliant” as if that erased everything else about who they were. I watched staff treat them like the enemy instead of the person in front of them. I heard a doctor say he’d leave patients outside in the parking lot — that’s what they get. I was met with the same ridicule and hostility for following my own conscience.

Healthcare taught me to see the person before the diagnosis. To care first, to listen, to treat every patient with dignity — whether or not I agreed with their decision. Somewhere along the way, it felt like many of us forgot that.

I don’t write this because of politics. I write it because accountability matters, and the people whose lives were changed deserve to have their stories heard.

This is my story.

My hope is that we never again ask healthcare workers to choose between their conscience and their calling. That informed consent stays meaningful. That respectful questions are welcomed, not feared. And that next time, compassion doesn’t depend on agreement.

This isn’t written from bitterness — it’s written from grief for what was lost, gratitude for where God has led my family, and hope that truth and compassion guide us forward.”
