Mark Carney could not be more out of touch.
With Canadians missing meals and mortgage payments, and days before he addresses the European Parliament (instead of the Canadian Parliament) we learn in a foreign newspaper of secret talks to make Canada an "Associate Member" of the European Union.
This is not about diversifying trade: we have had tariff-free trade with Europe for over a decade. They would buy more of our goods today if the Liberal government would get out of the way and permit mines, pipelines, LNG plants to produce and ship them.
Canadians deserve answers: Is the WSJ report true about associate membership in the EU?
If so, will European border policies apply in Canada, further overwhelming our immigration system while our youth canโt find homes?
Will Canadian waitresses struggling with rent have to pay tax dollars to the bloated EU bureaucracy?
Will Canadian small businesses be buried under the red tape of Eurocrats that have never met a Canadian entrepreneur?
All questions Iโd ask in Parliament, but it is shuttered.
And one more: who decides for Canada?
The Welland welder did not elect a Eurocrat to regulate our steel. The Saskatchewan farmer and the Atlantic fisherman did not choose a Brussels agrifood regulator that has never even seen our prairies or coasts.
We will NEVER be the 51st U.S. state. And we will NEVER be the 28th EU state.
We are Canadians. This is our home, our freedom, our sovereignty, our people.
Now and forever.
This is a fantastic way to see tax data.
Itโs hard not to conclude that the federal government is too big.
We now spend as much on retirement benefits as on education, colleges and universities, infrastructure and transport combined.
Our international affairs budget is basically the same as spending on domestic universities and research. That should leave us scratching our heads.
One awkward conversation we need to have is to ask why, given that ~80% of what affects day-to-day life is provincial, so much fiscal power is federal?
As I wrote a month ago in @TheHubCanada, the most important provincial fiscal reforms are federal. Itโs the level of government that has really become too large. Many transfers to provinces should be given back as tax points.
Personally, I think our municipalities are starved by the province, and the province is starved by the feds, and making governance better in Canada requires rebalancing.

Jeffrey Tucker just revealed that top FDA and NIH quietly admitted the real reason for Covid lockdowns, masking, and social distancing to him.
It sounds like a โwild conspiracy theory.โ
But itโs the truth.
The real reason for all of it was to โdelay the onset of natural immunity.โ
Why?
โIt was to keep us from gaining a natural capacity to resist the virus so that they could wait until the injection came along, so the injection could be deployed and experimented upon us and thereby to get all the credit for having solved the issue.โ
โFlatten the curve meant prolong the pain, delay the solution.โ
โIt sounds crazy until you hear it from people who were there on the ground in the agencies, in the companies, watching all this unfold.โ
โMultiple sources have confirmed this without a shadow of doubt in their mind that that was the real purpose of the school closures.โ
โThe business shutdowns.โ
โThe stay-at-home orders.โ
โThe travel restrictions.โ
โTo delay the point at which we would have essentially solved the problem through natural exposure and immune upgrades.โ

I was โblackโ when I read The Odyssey in high school...
...but somehow I never imagined the characters as looking like me.
Why?
Because they were GREEK characters.
I didnโt need Odysseus to look like me to appreciate his story.
I didnโt need Helen of Troy to look like me to understand her importance.
They were Greek characters from a specific culture, with a specific history.
And this is what Hollywood keeps getting wrong.
We donโt identify with characters because they look like us.
We connect with them because we recognize something human in them - their struggles, their courage, their flaws, their values.
Odysseus is a GREEK hero.
Helen of Troy is a GREEK woman.
Their identities are part of what makes their stories meaningful.
Casting Colombians and Africans and Indians as Greek ISN'T "representation."
Itโs just insulting.
Stop it.
๐จ๐ฆ The Liberals found $26B for Ukraine.

Canada first should not be a controversial concept.
In Ottawa it apparently is.
On her last day as Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard declassified the COVID cover-up.
Never-before-seen documents. Fauci's fingerprints on the intelligence itself. A lie told to Congress under oath.
Here is what just dropped. ๐งต
The Great Scam
After what @GadSaad posted yesterday, something I had no idea existed... an "Exit Tax" I did some digging.
This is what I found.
Canada's departure tax is one of the biggest scam taxes on the books. Apparently when you leave the country, the government treats you as if you sold every investment you own, even if you sold nothing.
You get hit with a tax bill on money you never touched, never withdrew, never spent. They literally invented a fake sale to justify taking your money.
Here's what makes it even worse. The stocks they're taxing? Those are foreign companies. Apple, Samsung, whatever you hold, those grew because of what those businesses did in their own countries, their own markets, with their own workers.
Canada had absolutely nothing to do with it. Zero. But they still want a cut just because you happened to live here while you owned them. They did nothing and still want to be paid like they did.
And before 1996 this didn't even exist the way it does now. Chrรฉtien's government expanded it that year and buried it in section 128.1(4)(b) of the Income Tax Act like they hoped nobody would notice. Italy doesn't do this. Portugal doesn't. Belgium, Switzerland, the UK, none of them pull this shit.
You paid income tax every year. You paid sales tax. Property tax. You held up your end of the deal the whole damn time. And when you decide to go live somewhere else, they hit you with a bill for money that was never real to begin with.
Canada under any Liberal is a Scam!
Things the Liberals are bragging about in their monthly e-mail to party members.
They're all admissions of failures.
Why are kids going to school hungry?
Why do Canadians need food stamps?
How come people people are bouncing cheques?
Why is gasoline $1.89/litre in a country with the World's 3rd largest oil reserves.
๐จ YOUR PRIME MINISTER JUST BORROWED $25 BILLION IN YOUR NAME
AND IT'S GOING TO COST YOU
$1.54 MILLION
EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
Carney calls it the 'Canada Strong Fund'.
But it actually makes you and your family poor.
I'm going to make sure that you,
and EVERY SINGLE CANADIAN
understand exactly how this debt harms you.
Then I'll show you where every dollar flows straight into Brookfield.
And by how much the Prime Minister is personally set to profit from it.
I'm breaking this down in plain english.
So even if you know nothing about finance or politics,
This is for you. Follow along.
Turn on your notifications so you don't miss anything.๐
Next we drop the Brookfield receipts๐
But first:
This is how Carney is making himself rich at the expense of making YOU poor. ๐งต
๐จ BREAKING
Carney just announced $270 million more for Ukraine.
In Armenia.
At a European summit.
Canadaโs total to Ukraine: $25.8 BILLION
Remember, just this week he also cut:
$1.2 billion from mental health
$600 million from long-term care
$500 million from rare disease drugs
These are cuts to seniors and sick Canadians at home.
Letโs not forget that 2 million Canadians are using food banks & youth unemployment is at 18%
He said โall of Canada is behind Ukraine.โ
All of Canada is also behind on groceries.
You wonโt believe this.
Or the plot twist.
Check out what Trump wants to do to America:
-He wants to search YOUR mail, withoutย a warrant
-He wants to give his inner circle the power to pardon anyone for any violation that isn't criminal
-He wants to turn off all cameras from the public, for any investigations conducted by the other party-
-HE WANTS TO HIDE THINGS FROM THE PUBLIC
-He's freezing out journalists who ask tough questions
-Through negotiations, he was able to secure power to pass ANY law he wants
-He cutting backroom deals with foreign governments and hiding those details from public scrutiny
-He appointed a close friend to be an ambassador
-His close friend, got $2 billion of taxpayer dollars as a loan to grow his company
-He appointed a close friend's spouse to a senior government role
Here's the surprise.
Everything I just listed.
That's not Donald Trump.
It's Mark Carney.
Right here.
In Canada.

#cdnpoli #Canada #US #Reality
I was taking Luna out for a walk today with my wife.
A friendly woman with her dog joined us for a bit. She was super chatty, gave Luna a delicious treat, and her big fluffy dog got one too.
She was especially fired up about the price of gas. She seemed pretty savvy, sharing all the tips she uses to save at the pump, and she kept saying how brutal it is for regular folks now that itโs climbing toward $1.90 a litre.
I told her I was surprised we havenโt hit $2.00 yet, like theyโve already seen in B.C. She looked absolutely stunned.
And you know what? Millions of Canadians are going to wear that exact same stunned look when gas really starts marching north of $2.00 a litre โ because itโs coming, folks.
Itโs coming hard.
Millions of us are already tapped out and broke. Weโre the ones staring at the pump in disbelief, doing the mental math on whether we can afford to drive to work, pick up the kids from hockey, or even run to the grocery store without wincing.
And while weโre scraping by, Canada, this massive, resource-rich beast of a country, could be an absolute economic powerhouse. We could be the energy capital of the world. We could be creating wealth, lowering prices for every family from coast to coast, creating hundreds of thousands of high-paying jobs, and telling the world โcome and get itโ on our terms. If the Liberals had just positioned us properly.
Instead?
They sold us out to ideology and handed the Americans the keys to our own wallet.
Think about it. Canada sits on the third-largest proven oil reserves on the planet, the oil sands alone are an absolute monster. Weโve got natural gas for days, hydro power that could light up half the continent, and the geography to be the energy bridge between North America, Asia, and Europe. Done right, we could be exporting clean, reliable Canadian energy to the world at full price.
No more selling our raw bitumen at a massive discount to the Americans while they refine it and sell the finished product back to us at a premium. No more begging for pipeline capacity. No more watching our own oil get bottlenecked and discounted because Ottawa spent years demonizing the very industry that could have made us rich.
We could have had pipelines running east, west, and south, Energy East, Northern Gateway, a properly fast-tracked Trans Mountain that didnโt balloon into a multi-billion-dollar clown show. We could have had west-coast ports shipping our product straight to hungry markets in Asia instead of forcing 97% of our crude down a single leaky pipeline into the U.S. market where they set the terms.
We could have built refineries here at home so Canadian families arenโt getting gouged at the pump while American refiners laugh all the way to the bank.
But no.
The Liberals, with their virtue-signaling, their endless environmental reviews, their Bill C-69 that basically made it illegal to build anything bigger than a lemonade stand, and their carbon tax that punishes every driver, trucker, farmer, and senior just trying to heat their home, chose ideology over infrastructure.
They killed project after project. They delayed, they regulated, they virtue-posted on social media while the rest of us watched our lifeblood get siphoned off.
And now?
The Americans have us by the throat.
They control the pipelines.
They control the refining capacity.
They buy our heavy crude cheap because we have nowhere else to send it, then sell us back gasoline and diesel at whatever price the market (and their profit margins) will bear.
Every time global tensions spike or a refinery hiccup happens south of the border, we feel it immediately at the pump, while our own vast reserves sit there like a trapped gold mine weโre not allowed to fully develop.
This isnโt bad luck. This is policy failure on a national scale. This is why your wife is cutting back on groceries. This is why the single mom down the street is choosing between gas money and rent. This is why truckers are idling their rigs because the numbers donโt add up anymore. This is why small businesses in every province are closing their doors.
Energy is the foundation of everything, heating, transportation, manufacturing, food production. When you let ideologues strangle that foundation, the entire economy starts to crumble.
And the worst part?
The Liberals had the chance, hell, they still have the chance under Carney, to flip this script. To say โCanada first,โ to fast-track the infrastructure, to partner with industry and Indigenous communities the right way, and to turn our energy advantage into real sovereignty and real prosperity.
We could be the envy of the world instead of the cautionary tale.
We could have 85 cent gas and a booming economy funding better healthcare, better roads, and actual climate innovation that doesnโt bankrupt families.
But they chose the opposite.
They chose the photo-ops, the international applause, the net-zero fairy tales while real Canadians get hammered at the pump and in the wallet.
So the next time youโre standing at that gas station watching the numbers climb, remember this: it didnโt have to be this way. Canada didnโt have to be held hostage by American leverage.
We could have been the energy powerhouse of the planet, rich, independent, and thriving.
Instead we got weak leadership, neglected infrastructure, and a government that would rather lecture you about your carbon footprint than secure your future.
Wake up, Canada.
Itโs time to demand better.
Because at $2.00 a litre and rising, weโre not just paying at the pump anymore, weโre paying for decades of Liberal failure.
And Luna and I are tired of watching good, hardworking people get stunned into silence while the country we love gets sold short.
What do you think, am I wrong?
Or is this the conversation we all need to be having before itโs too late?
