Mark Carney says fortune favours the bold.

One year later, we’re still waiting for the bold part.

Turns out his plan was to give the same speech over and over again until reality has improved.

Watch this and share it if you think it’s time for results. 👇

Word has it that Carney made her delete this video. It would be a shame if it went viral...

[Fred Davies, MP @freddaviescpc]

Conservatives are back in Ottawa this week, and the Liberals have already begun cancelling meetings to silence our voices on the critical issues facing Canada as they win their costly majority.

At Immigration Committee, we wanted to press the government on identified terrorists in Canada at this very moment, and I wanted to discuss the failure of this government to protect Canadian victims from extortion and exploitation.

This is happening in Niagara at this very moment, as I highlighted to the media yesterday, and I will bet that not a single media outlet in our area will cover my comments on behalf of the people of Niagara South.

We will not stop fighting for you.

It’d be a real shame if this went super viral.

Share it and share it often.

Marilyn Gladu: A lot of people keep asking me what I think about Mark Carney.

Top London paper writes about how Carney plagiarized his way through university. He takes credit for things he never did while dodging responsibility for things he did do.

You can’t believe a word he says.

[Brian Lilley @brianlilley]

This is a really well done video that explains Carney’s actual position on the carbon tax accurately.

“Walk like you have 4,000 ancestors behind you.”

I first heard that quote—attributed to an ancient African proverb—around the time when my son was born.

It hit hard.

How many tiny moments contributed to you being here right now?

You’re never alone. You’ve got an army behind you.

[Jack Carr @JackCarrUSA]

So saddened to learn of James Earl Jones’ passing.

He served in the U.S. Army before becoming one of the greatest actors of his, or any, generation.

Rest in Peace.

A few years ago, I realized I wasn’t unhappy anymore.

The main change: living life noting “good days” and “bad days”.

Then, looking for the things I could control that happened on good days.

Then, deliberately repeating them.

This lead me here:
1) I eat the same stuff. This minimized bad food experiences and kept me in shape. Which always made me feel better than not being in shape.

2) I lift weights with people I like. I noticed I always had good days if I worked out with people I liked.

3) I work on something I could see visible progress on (I write everyday). I noticed when I did that, I felt some larger accomplishment.

3.5) Later I realized if I did that activity with a friend, it made it even more enjoyable. Which is what has given birth to @DrKashey and my daily writing sessions.

4) I unwind with a nice view. I noticed when I had a dedicated place to sit quietly and read or reflect my days went better.

That’s about all I’ve got that actually made me less unhappy.

Simply paying attention to what happened on good days then trying to recreate it might’ve been one of the most valuable things I’ve done for myself.

TLDR: I spend as much time as I can doing things I like with people I like and ignore as much of everything else as I can.

When I started going after bigger goals, I found it more useful to write down what I was gonna give up more than what I was gonna do.

And - in general - the bigger the goal, the bigger the sacrifice.

Good morning, my fellow Canadians. It's September 3, 2023, and if you're expecting to wake up to a bright, financially secure Canada, well, I have some sobering news for you. The latest figures from Statistics Canada are in, and they confirm what many of us have suspected: the Canadian economy is not on the up-and-up. Despite the rosy pictures painted by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Finance Minster Chrystia Freeland, the real numbers don't lie, and they point to an economic landscape in turmoil. Allow me to break it down for you.

The new Statistics Canada data is in, and it paints a rather bleak picture of the Canadian economy under the watchful eyes of the federal government and Justin Trudeau. Let's delve into some numbers, shall we? A staggering $16.5 billion in debt was added by Canadian households in the first quarter of this year alone, with $11.2 billion being in mortgage debt. In an environment of 5% interest rates, a rate we haven't seen for over a decade, this is a financial bomb waiting to explode.

And let's not forget inflation. Since 2021, we've seen a cumulative inflation rate of around 16.5%. Now, remember, these aren't just abstract numbers on a ledger somewhere; these are realities hitting your grocery bills, your gas prices, your rents, and slowly emptying your wallets. But it's not just households feeling the pinch. The economy as a whole is stalling, with real GDP nearly unchanged in the second quarter of 2023, following a measly 0.6% rise in the first quarter.

Amidst all this, Justin Trudeau and the federal government seem content piling on debt like there's no tomorrow. The Parliamentary Budget Officer's March 2023 report shows Canada's deficit is expected to rise to $43.1 billion in 2023-24, up from $36.5 billion in 2022-23. And let's not forget that 1 out of every 5 dollars in this debt spree didn't even exist pre-pandemic. Essentially, we're spending money we don't have, to solve problems we're not solving, all while making new ones.

So, where has all this spending gone? Not into securing a robust future for Canadians, I can tell you that. Despite the monumental deficits and the reckless spending, housing investment fell 2.1% in the second quarter, marking its fifth consecutive quarterly decrease. Canadians are struggling to make ends meet, and the government's financial imprudence is exacerbating, not alleviating, the situation.

But here's a twist to the story: while investments in housing decline, Justin Trudeau decided it was prime time to open the floodgates of immigration. There's an aspect of governance called planning, something that seems foreign to this administration. How does one justify allowing over a million immigrants into Canada without even hinting at a solution for housing them? The result is basic economics - demand outstrips supply, and prices soar.

Remember the days before Trudeau's reign, when the average home in Canada cost around $400,000? Eight years under his watch and that figure has doubled. Trudeau's policies seem like a cruel jest to young families, professionals, and, frankly, anyone aspiring to own a piece of the Canadian dream. It's almost as if he expected the housing market to "balance itself".

And before you think this is just a 'rough patch,' let me remind you that household spending is also slowing. So not only are Canadians going into debt, but they're also cutting back on spending. They're being hit from both sides, and there's no end in sight. The government's promises of prosperity seem increasingly hollow when we see that per capita household spending has declined in three of the last four quarters.

The Trudeau administration's approach to governing appears to be in a parallel universe, one where debt is limitless, and financial responsibilities are for the next government or even the next generation to sort out. And don't even get me started on the higher taxes lurking around the corner to pay off this bonanza of spending. This isn't governance; it's financial negligence.

When Canadians were told that this level of inflationary spending could turn our country into something akin to Venezuela, many scoffed at the idea. But let's face it: the signs are becoming hard to ignore. The truth is, many Canadians have been led to believe they can have gold-plated social services without paying an ounce of gold in taxes. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau seemed more than happy to sell that narrative. He promised a utopia, a social safety net woven from dreams and aspirations. But what has that net caught? Rising costs, crippling debt, and a harder life for everyday Canadians.

Trudeau has turned out to be less a responsible steward of the economy and more of a Pied Piper, leading us all off a fiscal cliff while playing a cheerful tune. Or perhaps he's more like the Cheshire Cat from "Alice in Wonderland," grinning broadly as he disappears, leaving behind only his grin and a trail of false promises.

As we approach the pivotal year of 2025, don't forget who sold you this bill of goods. Remember the skyrocketing costs of living, the unmanageable debt, and the empty words that were supposed to make everything better. I, for one, certainly won't forget. And I suspect, come election time, neither will you.
