By now if u don’t agree that there’s something horribly wrong with our political state in 🇨🇦, I would say that there’s something fundamentally wrong with your critical-thinking capability ~ESPECIALLY~ if u’r even considering voting for #JustinTrudeau or #JagmeetSingh.

There is absolutely no correlation between increasing GHGs and warming and fires in Canada. In fact, fires have been decreasing for decades. https://t.co/712YIqzRRv
Shocking! In defiance of Parliament Justin Trudeau’s government refuses to provide documents on the $120 million that Trudeau gave a shady company - and taxpayers are on the hook for it.
Here’s video of @pablorodriguez making it clear he isn’t interested in changes to Bill C-18, arguing mandated payments for links is a good compromise and dismissing prospect of platforms blocking news links. Millions will be lost on this miscalculation.

PMJT's National Security Advisor said no one is responsible for failing to act on a warning that MP Chong was being targeted by Beijing.
Bill Blair blamed CSIS for his failure to review this critical information.
Liberals expect all of the power, but none of the responsibility.
Plainly inaccurate. Apple isn’t engaged in Bill C-18 because they don’t believe they’re a “digital news intermediary” under the law, not because of any deals they have. If they were covered, their existing deals wouldn’t be enough to exempt them.

Watching Heritage Minister @pablorodriguez struggle to answer questions from @DavidWCochrane on Bill C-18. Repeatedly pressed on the harm the bill will cause if Facebook blocks news. No answer other than fading hope that it’s a bluff. His legacy will be lost millions for sector.
Heritage Minister @pablorodriguez: “they come here and they tell us, ‘If you don’t do this or that, then I’m pulling the plug,’ - that’s a threat and that is unacceptable."
He’s talking about Facebook and Bill C-18, but sounds like it could be Stellantis.

Meta has consistently said it will block news sharing in Canada given the mandated payments for links approach in Bill C-18. Next step was obvious: my post on the decision to begin testing blocking on Facebook/Instagram and the impact on Canadian media.

Jagmeet Singh: A Case Study in Political Cowardice
In the grand theater of international politics, one often encounters characters whose actions are so bewildering that they seem plucked straight out of a political satire. One such character is Canada's very own Jagmeet Singh, the leader of the New Democratic Party (NDP). His recent decisions in the face of serious allegations of Chinese interference in Canadian politics are a lesson in political cowardice par excellence.
Now, you might be wondering, what exactly has Mr. Singh done to earn such a distinction? The answer lies in his remarkable ability to prioritize political expediency over the safety and integrity of the very democracy he purports to serve.
Let's lay out the facts. Jenny Kwan, a prominent NDP member, has been targeted by the Chinese government due to her outspoken advocacy for human rights in Hong Kong and for the Uyghur Muslim minority in China. This isn't conjecture – Canada's spy agency confirmed it. One would expect any political leader worth their salt to stand up against such blatant foreign interference. But not Jagmeet Singh.
Instead, Singh has pledged his unwavering support for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberals, vowing to keep them in office until 2025, regardless of any evidence of foreign interference. This is a political maneuver that reeks of self-preservation and a desperate grasping at power, rather than an act of moral conviction or courage.
Singh's political maneuvering is not merely disappointing, but downright concerning. By maintaining his pact with Trudeau's Liberals, he's tacitly endorsing a government that stands accused of not doing enough to confront foreign interference. You have to wonder, what kind of leader prioritizes his own political survival over the integrity of his country's democratic process?
Moreover, by pledging to keep Trudeau in power until 2025, Singh sends a clear message that maintaining his political influence is more important than addressing serious threats to Canadian democracy. It's an act of political cowardice that leaves one wondering if Singh is willing to sell out the principles he claims to stand for, just to keep a firm grasp on his sliver of power.
But perhaps the most remarkable aspect of this entire saga is Singh's response, or rather, the lack thereof. Rather than confronting these serious allegations head-on, Singh has retreated to the comfortable confines of his Twitter echo chamber, where he regularly indulges in woke responses and online virtue signaling. Yet, when it comes to real action and real courage, Singh has proven woefully inadequate.
In the end, this isn't just about Singh's lack of moral courage. It's a cautionary tale for all democracies. It serves as a stark reminder that when leaders prioritize political expediency over their duty to protect the integrity of their country's democratic process, it's the citizens who pay the price.
Canada deserves better. It deserves leaders who won't shy away from standing up to foreign interference, who won't compromise the principles of democracy for the sake of political convenience. Jagmeet Singh has shown us what political cowardice looks like. And from the looks of it, it's a look Canadians don't like. When it comes to real leadership, Canadians deserve more than just empty words and hollow virtue signaling – they deserve action and courage.

In the crisp light of a Canadian morning, we find ourselves once again peering into the curious machinations of our nation's capital. The focus today falls on Marco Mendicino, our Minister of Public Safety, and a recent comment he made during Question Period that warrants closer inspection.
With an aura of authority, Mendicino stated that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) were 'disrupting' Chinese police stations operating in Canada. It's a comforting assertion at first glance, providing a semblance of action against foreign influence on our soil. However, we must look beyond the surface to understand the full implications of this claim.
A crucial piece of the puzzle comes from @realandyleeshow, a vigilant observer of our political landscape. She has pointed out that these Chinese police stations are not rogue entities operating in the shadows, but rather, they seem to be functioning in concert with the Chinese Communist Party.
Adding to this perplexing situation, Xixi Li, who leads these Chinese police stations, has publicly stated that the operations of the Overseas Chinese Support Centre in Montreal "cannot be achieved without the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the PRC, the Consulate General in Montreal, and support from the government." The insinuation that the Canadian government has been privy to these operations is deeply concerning.
One cannot help but question, if Minister Mendicino is indeed committed to curtailing the influence of these Chinese police stations, why not employ a more impactful strategy? Target their business licenses, scrutinize their work visas, or enforce building codes. There seems to be a plethora of alternatives at our disposal, if there is a genuine will to act.
The narrative unraveling here is one that raises more questions than it provides answers. It brings into question the government's stance on this issue and challenges us to demand transparency. But as we peel back the layers, what we uncover may not be comforting. It may be unsettling. It may even be alarming. But it is the truth, and it is essential. As the sun sets on this day, we find ourselves under a cloud of uncertainty. But one thing is certain - the fight for transparency and truth continues. Stay vigilant Canada

@1DanStanton Mr Stanton, just knowing that you reject Trudeau’s misrepresentations (excuses) of why ~HE feels~ a public inquiry cannot be held, gives me great confidence that one will be held with your help.
Thank you for your service & all that you continue to do to protect & defend our 🇨🇦.
#BREAKING In the seemingly endless saga of fiscal recklessness, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have been seen out on the town, armed with the nation's credit card. However, the party appears to have come to an abrupt end as Canada's federal finances plunged into a $44.4-billion deficit in the final month of the fiscal year.
After almost a year of relative financial stability, with federal finances enjoying a surplus position of $3.1-billion after the first 11 months of the fiscal year, the sudden and drastic shift into red is alarming. The government's spending spree in March 2023, resulting in a deficit that eclipses the $25.7-billion deficit recorded in the same month of the previous year, is not only cause for concern, but also indicative of a trend of fiscal irresponsibility.
An alarming trend has emerged in the form of public debt charges, which have ballooned by a staggering 42 percent, or $10.4-billion, from the previous fiscal year. These charges, essentially the interest payments on the national debt, are clear evidence of the government's increased and irresponsible borrowing.
While some might argue that borrowing is a necessary tool for government spending, especially during challenging economic times, such a level of fiscal recklessness carries a heavy cost. Each dollar spent on debt interest is a dollar that could, and should, have been directed towards vital public services such as healthcare. Our hospitals, doctors, and nurses are crying out for resources, but instead of funding these essential services, the government is using taxpayers' hard-earned money to pay off its credit card bill.
As the fiscal year came to a close, the deficit stood at $41.3-billion, slightly lower than the $43-billion Freeland had projected in her March 28 budget. This shouldn't be mistaken for fiscal responsibility. It's a stark reminder of the government's habit of underestimating its spending, only to exceed those estimates time and time again.
The credit card antics of Trudeau and Freeland need to come to an end. Canadians are counting on them to manage the nation's finances responsibly, not to rack up debt that future generations will be left to pay off. The party has ended and the bill has come due. It's time for the government to face the music and address the fiscal hangover that threatens to destabilize Canada's financial future.
