Several premiers now want to use Alberta oil as leverage with Washington.

That tells us everything.

Ontario, Quebec and B.C. depend on Alberta energy and on trade with the United States. Alberta’s principal export market is already the United States—not the other provinces.

When Alberta negotiates its independence, that economic strength will be impossible to ignore. Alberta can do better. https://t.co/70SdJ6CVcj

Time For Mark Carney To Pull A Doug Ford: Apoligise & REVERSE The Condo Bailout

It's not hard Prime Minister: Just get in front of a microphone & say:

"My Friends, the People have spoken & we are canceling the Condo Purchases, we will still achieve Affordable Housing"

2/

[Richard Dias @RichardDias_CFA]

Privatize profits, socialize losses. It’s the Canadian Way.

[Richard Dias @RichardDias_CFA]

As a fiscal conservative that puts faith in markets to efficiently allocate capital, I find borrowing money to prop up a bloated condo market grotesque.

BUT if you’re Left Wing, you should be outraged! Instead of letting these speculators rot, the Feds are bailing them out.

[Richard Dias @RichardDias_CFA]

Forgive me, Ms. Lang (@AmandaLang), but you are exactly wrong. The problems Canada faces ARE, in fact, about government mismanagement. Canada is in structural stagnation due to a chronic lack of productivity growth and a collapse in private investment, the result of government policy.

If 'trade frictions' and war in Iran disappeared tomorrow, they would not, in any way, solve the underlying cause of weak growth.

Also of note:
Youth unemployment is at a 35-year high adjusted for participation.

@CoryBMorgan @acoyne Exactly!

Not food-related post.

This is likely one of the most sickening things I’ve seen the CBC do. Read the story below. ⬇️

One of the RCMP officers pranked by the CBC is a personal friend.

I can’t believe a Crown corporation, funded by the Canadian public, would do something like this to people who served our country for decades, only to humiliate them.

[Aaron Gunn @AaronGunn]

I can’t believe the CBC did something like this.

Using taxpayer money to mislead, deceive and outright lie to ordinary Canadians, including retired RCMP veterans, to trick them into taking part in some sort of twisted political propaganda film.

Fake documentaries that slander Canadian history, defame Canadian institutions like the RCMP and smear the reputation of our first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald.

Spending who knows how much of your money to set up an elaborate ruse (including fake websites, fake companies and fake identities) while engaging American actors and producers to insult Canada’s past.

Will the Liberal Minister responsible for the CBC own up to this decision and defend it?

Or will someone at the CBC finally be held accountable?

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

The DOJ has ONE WEEK left to charge Anthony Fauci for the worst cover-up in modern medical history.

He lied to Congress about funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan. Millions died. Trillions were spent. And Fauci walked away with book deals and fawning media coverage instead of handcuffs. I re-upped my criminal referral to the DOJ because the evidence is overwhelming, and justice has been delayed long enough.

RT if you’re ready to see Fauci behind bars.

BREAKING NEWS !

@Nenshi held a news conference to lie to Albertans about the StayfreeAlberta Independence Petition.

Unlike the phoney Lukaszuk petition that had access to NDP and Union lists and signed up Disney Characters and Tourists, every Stay Free Alberta was made with valid photo ID held by actual eligible Alberta voters.

All of the signatures were delivered in sequentially ordered file folders with each canvasser badge number assigned its own folder for identification of serial numbered canvassing sheets by canvasser. Any misbehaviour by any individual canvasser can be immediately identified on verification. For that reason it is beyond belief that any impropriety occurred due to the stringency of the process.

Nenshi’s allegation of fraud on the part of 7000 hard working Alberta Independence Canvassers and the 301,620 Albertans who signed the petition is defamatory.

Nenshi’s suggestion that Danielle Smith should ignore this petition is ludicrous and completely in keeping with his generally anti-democratic tendencies and beliefs.

Danielle Smith will ignore 301,620 potentially former UCP voters at her political peril.

[David Parker @david_parker]

At the height of the UCP Leadership Race in 2022 there were less than 160,000 members. I have heard there are less than 50,000 right now. If 20% of people who signed the petition joined the party. They would have a majority of the UCP membership.

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

The Prime Minister’s video is another illusion.

He says he wants a permanent rupture with our biggest customer while he keeps 90% of his personal investments in the U.S.

He has doubled the deficit, negotiated no new free trade deals with any other country, approved no pipelines, and given Canada the worst food inflation, the worst household debt, the worst housing costs, and the only shrinking economy in the G7.

Fear is not a plan. We must reverse Liberal taxes, deficits, and anti-resource laws so we can be affordable, safe, and strong at home.

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

A damning Auditor General’s report shows these three Liberal ministers allowed 150,000 cases of suspected immigration fraud to go uninvestigated.

Then Carney promoted them. And they remain in his Liberal cabinet.

Mr. Prime Minister, do your job. Fire them. Now.

Here’s how frighteningly easy it is for people to get mAID in Canada. A mother found out her son who became blind due to diabetes had been asking for mAID so she decided to call and see how easy it was by posing as someone suffering from the same condition. Without any questions the Doctor said “ok no problem”
The next story involves a man who can’t afford to live requesting the service.

@RichardDias_CFA By incompetence or design @IceCapGlobal freaking komees!

@acoyne Yet another self-interested Boomer cheering on garbage policy that benefits them and hurts everyone else, while passing it on as virtue.

It’s getting boring now.
