We've been ruled by men who live by illusions:
—The illusion that you can spend money you haven't earned without eventually going bankrupt or falling into the hands of your creditors;
—The illusion that real jobs can be conjured into existence by government decree like rabbits out of a hat;
—The illusion that there is some other way of creating wealth than by hard work and satisfying your customers;
—The illusion that you can have freedom and enterprise without believing in free enterprise.
-Rennie (BC Condo King) raises money for Liberals
-Rennie sits on BC Housing’s board
-Rennie publicly says he’s “working with Carney” on a housing plan
-Carney announces $3.2B to buy unsold condos
-The developers Rennie represents get bailed out
-Robertson, who hosted the $25,000/plate lunch with Rennie, is now Housing Minister
-Liberal MP Hedy Fry defends the spending as “a cup of coffee”
And Carney says that no developer DIRECTLY asked for his bailout?
🤣🤣🤣
The Condo King literally said he was working directly with him.
Suddenly that doesn’t qualify as direct?
This note was just left on my windshield. All of us @spittinchiclets are so lucky to have the job we do and there is no better feeling in the world than hearing we have helped certain people through some hard times. Best fans in the world
WATCH: For Canadians wondering why fruits and vegetables are so expensive, a U.S. government hearing yesterday reveals that the Canadian federal government has been restricting bulk imports of fresh U.S. produce.
🚨 INCREDIBLE! This is a stunning drone light show depicting Jesus on the Cross (the Crucifixion)
It was created as part of the “Jesus Jesus Jesus” Holy Week event by The Church on Master’s Road in Manvel, Texas.
Thousands of synchronized drones lit up the night sky during Good Friday to tell the Gospel story in a powerful, modern way.
Absolutely breathtaking!
Just going to leave this little 'Fun Fact' here for all the High Speed Rail enthusiasts. This was brought to my attention, so therefore I must bring it to yours if you didnt already know...
Liberals serve themselves first and foremost.
This is another case in point.
Anne-Marie Gaudet, is the
spouse of François-Philippe Champagne
She holds a senior executive role as Vice President, Environment at Alto and works within the organization responsible for advancing Canada’s proposed high-speed rail project (Quebec City to Toronto corridor)
Under her:
• Environmental strategy and compliance
• Regulatory approvals and impact assessments
• Sustainability frameworks tied to the rail project
Gaudet is positioned inside an entity that is:
• Federally backed
• Dependent on government policy, approvals, and funding
Her role is directly connected to this major national infrastructure initiative currently being shaped and eventually financed at the federal level.
So maybe when Liberals, their friends and families stop personally benefitting off the backs of hard working Canadians who keep falling behind then conservatives might not be so upset and against this.
Because from where I sit, this whole thing reads like a closed-loop favour factory. The Liberals want to expropriate land to serve a narrow slice of the country in one corridor, then hand the bill to everyone else, including millions who will never set foot on that train. Meanwhile, the government’s financing brain is tied at home to the environmental arm of Alto, and it all conveniently lines up with the climate sermonizing of Green Jesus Mark Carney.
Call it policy if you like. From here, it looks a lot more like insiders taking care of their own while the rest of the country gets the invoice..

To Mark Carney & Those Applauding Him:
I am a Canadian paying for a country that doesn’t include me.
I live in the part of the country your map forgets.
About 2,600 kilometres from the nearest stop on your proposed $90 billion train.
I am an overtaxed, under-served Canadian.
I heat my home with rising costs.
I fill my vehicle at almost $2 a litre, depending on the day and my luck.
I watch a country with 163 billion barrels of oil behave like it’s on a meagre allowance.
And you want me to pay for a train I will never use.
How thoughtful.
I am a hard-working, falling-behind Canadian funding infrastructure I will never touch.
It runs roughly 800 to 900 kilometres, depending on how creatively it detours around reality, from Toronto to Quebec City.
Seven stops.
All neatly contained within Ontario and Quebec.
Top speed, 300 km/h.
National reach? Let’s just call it selective.
I am a Canadian treated like a revenue stream, invited only by invoice.
Roughly $90 billion. About $8,000 per household.
For a ticket I will never hold.
From where I sit in Saskatchewan, your high-speed rail corridor might as well be interstellar travel.
Two thousand plus kilometres away circling the station, and still billing me.
I am a Canadian bereft of a stop on this train.
Close enough to fund it. Far enough to never use it.
I am an overextended, nickel-and-dimed Canadian.
I am fixing my own road access.
Paying more for groceries.
Driving farther for basic services.
And now funding new infrastructure for people who already have airports, highways, and existing rail.
At this point, I would settle for a train that delivers affordable groceries.
No need for 300 km/h. Just cost-saving reliability.
I am a Canadian squeezed by government-made inflation, where every errand costs more than it did last week and every explanation from you sounds rehearsed.
I am a Canadian quietly recalculating the future, trying not to downgrade my retirement to a leaky camper on wheels, while the country accumulates debt it cannot repay and prints money to pretend it can.
I am a rural Canadian watching how this works.
Not on my land. Not this time.
But close enough to understand the mechanism.
Because an 800 plus kilometre corridor does not meander politely.
It cuts. Straight. Fast. With purpose.
Through farmland. Through properties. Through communities.
I am a watchful Canadian taking note of precedent.
Survey stakes. Expropriation powers. “Public interest” to be explained after.
It is not my yard today.
But it is someone’s.
And tomorrow, it will be called "necessary" for something larger.
Something urgent. Something climate-related. Something that cannot wait.
I am a wary Canadian noticing how easily "necessity" is declared to match your agenda.
And how quickly my rights become flexible once it is declared.
I am an observant Canadian with a long memory for names.
And somehow, the same SNC-Lavalin lineage Canadians were told to forget is back, rebranded as AtkinsRéalis, positioning itself for one of the largest public contracts in Canadian history.
A remarkable comeback. Truly.
No apology tour. Just a new logo and a larger taxpayer subsidized opportunity.
Seems history doesn’t repeat. It follows a predictable pattern.
I am an unimpressed Canadian watching familiar #Lavscam players return under reimagined branding.
The script is the same. Only the cover has changed.
I am an exasperated Canadian you included in your sales pitch.
I am told it will create 50,000 jobs.
I am told it will add $35 billion to GDP.
And I am sure it will.
In the corridor.
Where the stations are.
Where the density is.
Where the benefit is.
I am a shunned Canadian excluded from the outcome.
Included in all the arithmetic. Excluded from all the access.
I am a cynical Canadian being told this is nation-building. Though the nation appears to exist along a very specific set of coordinates.
I am the depleted Canadian who:
Reads grocery receipts like an audit.
Choreographs fuel stops around paydays not plans.
Measures distance in cost, not kilometres.
I am an overburdened, last-in-line Canadian.
Essential when it is time to pay. Optional when it is time to benefit.
I am an impoverished Canadian whose citizenship now resembles a pre-authorized debit agreement.
The withdrawals are national. The benefits are regional.
I am an exhausted, overlooked Canadian.
You’re not building this for me or my family.
You're just sending me the bill.
Signed,
Your most reluctantly reliable revenue stream,
Melanie in Saskatchewan
HEY @MarkJCarney,
Two pilots are dead. Families are grieving.
And your instinct is to police the language of a condolence message.
You send the Air Canada CEO before the Official Languages Committee…
while the Governor General posts the same English-only message and gets a free pass.
Same tragedy.
Same country.
Two completely different rules.
That reputation for a short fuse might play well in closed rooms.
Out here, it reads as something else entirely.
SELECTIVE, PERFORMATIVE OUTRAGE!
Applied when it’s convenient. Ignored when it’s not.
You think this is leadership?
It’s opportunism, plain and simple. Only lowlifes and bottom feeding oxygen sponges would behave like this.
So when can we expect to see your dressing down of @GGCanada???
Either Drag her before committee or leave the Air Canada CEO alone to be in his grief over the loss of valued employees, you sorry excuse for a pressed suit!!
EVERYONE.... SHARE THIS - TAG CARNEY AND THE LIBERALS @liberal_party

Between 2007 and 2012, scientists carried out extensive ice drilling in Greenland, aiming to uncover Earth's climate history from the last 125,000 years.
Their findings put today's climate alarmism into perspective.
"Back then, Greenland was around 8°C warmer than today. Sea levels were 4-8m higher."
"Yet the planet didn't collapse and Greenland didn't melt. There were no tipping points and no mass extinctions."
"The planet was far warmer and life flourished."
