Proud Canadian, though that's been challenging at late. Recently retired Ontario software engineer. Moving to the US if 🇨🇦 doesn't wake up.

Life Began about 3.8 billion years ago, for the first time it has a real chance to become multiplanetary.

Maybe it’s time

Did U know that in all of Ontario we own a total of 9 water bombers, of those 9, 2 R down for maintenance (1 waiting on a new engine).
$42 MILLION was cut from Ontario's wildland firefighting budget last month.
NOW Ford is crying for our neighbours to the south for help. 🤬

Why are Canada Post executives getting massive bonuses at the same time they reduce services, run massive deficits and receive billions of dollars in bailout cash from taxpayers?

If that's a "performance bonus," what does failure look like?

[Larry Brock @LarryBrockMP]

This is beyond outrageous.

A man with ties to an international gun smuggling ring who plead guilty to a brutal torture and extortion was free while awaiting sentencing. He then went on to open fire on a Toronto night club.

The Liberals keep insisting they’ve fixed bail. Canadians can see the reality: dangerous repeat offenders continue to walk our streets while innocent Canadians pay the price.

How many more violent offenders have to be released before this government admits its weak-on-crime agenda has failed?

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

The Liberal Club gets rich making you poor.

They bail out bad bets. You pay the bill. Homes stay unaffordable.

Conservatives will keep fighting to stop the Carney Condo Bailout, make homes affordable, and build a Canada that works for you.

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

Bailouts for Liberal friends and big developers.

More costs and higher taxes for everyone else.

Mark Carney is just another Liberal.

The female cop just executed a random bystander trying to get away from the shooter and then when the real shooter came she flees leaving two people dead because of her incompetence. What the hell are we doing allowing female police officers.

[Europa.com @europa]

🇨🇦 A man killed in a shooting incident in Montreal today has been named as Rabbi Michael Moshe Mizrahi, a member of the local Chadad center.

It is unclear if he was killed by the shooter or a female police officer at the scene. A police officer was also killed.

Mark Carney studders a new $3.2B plan to use your tax dollars to buy up vacant, overpriced condos that developers can’t sell.💸A third of these units cost over $1M. While ordinary families can't afford rent, the state steps in to rescue rich investors. Absolute policy failure🚨🇨🇦

TAX PAYER COST?
SEASONAL?
Public sector chunk (~20k): These are taxpayer-funded by definition—government salaries, benefits, and hiring paid out of federal/provincial budgets (your taxes, EI premiums, debt). Public sector has been growing faster than private for years (e.g., +950k public jobs 2015-2024 per analyses, masking private weakness at times). But this month it was only ~23% of the gain.
Private sector and subsidized programs: Canada runs a bunch of wage subsidy and hiring grant programs (Canada Summer Jobs aiming for ~100k youth placements, Student Work Placement Program with up to 50% wage coverage to $5k, various provincial job grants, apprenticeships, targeted for youth/disabilities/green jobs, etc.). These directly subsidize employers to hire certain people, especially students/summer roles. May timing overlaps with summer hiring ramp-up, so some of those private gains likely got a taxpayer top-up.

And there we have it.
Mark Carney calling for the need to have a true “carbon credit market” not just in Alberta, but across all provinces.
His GFANZ agenda is in full swing in Canada.
