@elonmusk@RyanSaavedra Move over TOP GUN we have TOP CON where the tech is real, the stunts are too, and the benefits are already felt by you. It could be an Action flick, but it's a business instead TOPCON
Building new ways to get Canadian goods to market is offset by destroying Canada's ability to trade openly with less costly trade partners in terms of proximity. So now you ensure the introduction of tariffs to make the closest trade partner the most expensive. Long standing steady businesses lose more, pay higher and create less.
Carney's ability to destroy trade partnerships with America ensures companies don't have the funds to move faster as they will be holding less income, paying more and building less.
Forcing companies to pay more or leave. Forcing Canadians to pay more to hold up the businesses or leave.
The Carney lead #lpc says they will break barriers between provinces, while only building greater rifts.
John A Macdonald raced to unite the land,
Carney creates a race to build the economies of scale in a China expansionist agenda off the backs of Canadians.
Incredible human and financial cost built an iron spine that today after years of Liberal leadership continues to deteriorate across provinces and across borders, now lead by Carney at accelerating speed.
The national policy IS NOT increasing the cost of materials and goods so that businesses need to increase the cost to buyers and offset employee wages with lower income employees through incentivised obtained visas.
Carney's goal is not to build Canada, his goal is to break America to China's benefit.
Canada's steel industry under liberal rule and the green energy grift has taken a huge hit to ensure Canadian steel is dependent on China steel while constantly chasing green energy upgrades. THE GOAL: FACTORIES ARE NATURALLY FAILING and Carney's nature vs nurture industrial lens has it own Green angle.
Economic Plan:
1. Match US tariffs (an eye for an eye makes all the West blind)
2. Support choice Canadians (breaks economy)
3. 7.5B income support and re-training on top of 25B, to force new factory and business processes, incentivising new employees (not those with experience and skill that have been layed off).
Prevent Canadians' decisions at the boardroom table and keep them focused on the kitchen table. Take away businesses, take away affordability.
How long do you think China will allow Alberta Canola to sell to China at higher prices before China buys the farm and sells it accross the seas cheaper? How many AB oil and gas companies has China purchased?
500B in new private investment? Over what period of time?
"New transmission corridors linking Canadian energy wealth to the world"? Canada shares a border with America, the very border Carney is destroying.
AI is critical, but Carney wont be talking to you about that.
"Maintaining and protecting Canadian sovereignty and Canadian values in technology and AI" while partnering with China ... Nortel
If the Carney lead #lpc rate of destruction far outweighs the rate of growth the strategy is wrong. And, while the Liberal Government is in for a penny in for a pound pushing #CanadaStrong , Canadians can choose a more Conservative approach.
The cost of standing still was never on the table, destroying one wall to build up another wont make a home whole.
That pivot will come at a cost
It's about Canadian livlihoods and the Country Canadians leave
For their kids.
This fireside chat is outrageous. Carney sold himself as the guy who’d already dealt with Trump
The guy who could get a deal
The adult in the room
Then the talks collapse
50% tariffs land
And what do we get?
A 15-minute history lecture about John A. Macdonald and the CPR
A fireside chat about “iron spines” and 1890 tariffs while auto plants, steel mills, and forestry towns take the hit today
This is a man who has never known actual hardship
His idea of discomfort is the Wagyu arriving overcooked
He spent months claiming to be chasing a comprehensive deal. Made concessions. Talked progress
Then walked away and immediately announced it was always Plan A to diversify anyway
That’s not leadership
That’s rewriting the campaign after the fact.“ They asked too much and offered too little” is not an explanation
It’s a slogan to paper over the fact that the personal-relationship advantage he advertised didn’t deliver
Don’t wrap failure in Confederation mythology and call it resilience
Canadians weren’t asking for a TED Talk on 19th-century nation-building
They were asking for the deal he promised he could get
Get back to Parliament. Get back to the trade table and enough of these dramatic diversions @MarkJCarney
The Adult in the room speaking to the Adult thing to do. Common sense, and acknowledgement that the #lpc actions are hurting people and businesses today and tomorrow.
Smith is focused on actionable momentum. Carney is focusing on ideology while ignoring the raw data, and the obvious benefits and integration that exist and are possible through mutually beneficial trade.
Carney is looking to fulfill his interests (and those of his Masters), And that is not the same as looking out for Canadas future, he's stomping on this land and yours too!
I spoke with our American friends through CNBC this morning.
My message: this continent has everything it needs to achieve North American security and independence in energy, critical minerals and the supply chains both our economies run on. Canada has the resources. The United States has the refining and manufacturing capacity to add two or three times their value and export those products around the world. That partnership adds millions of jobs to the U.S. economy and strengthens American trade surpluses with other countries.
Every day we spend arguing about tariffs is a day we hand ground to countries that are not our allies. Neither nation can afford the job losses and increased consumer costs of continuing the fight on trade.
Let’s get back to the negotiating table, get to a deal and move forward.
@WeAreCanProud This is what it sounds like when you understand what builds economies, meanwhile Doug Ford is still learning geography and Mark Carney's focused on feelings
Nepotism and Cronyism on repeat
When you enable a Government to gain a certain amount of power and manage a certain amount of wealth they feel entitled to a portion of it.
Maybe that's why they push feelings over facts, because if you do the math it doesn't Add up
I’m a nana in Alberta. Middle income. 1,350 square foot home. I don’t have credentials. I have a country I barely recognize. Grok helped me put the names in one place.
Mark Carney is not an outsider. He is the next manager of the same network.
He was the UN Special Envoy on Climate Action and Finance. He helped build GFANZ. He sat on the World Economic Forum’s Foundation Board. He still uses Davos as a closing room. Brookfield sits behind an ethics screen of about 103 names while the real company is far larger.
His wife, Diana Fox Carney, is a climate and energy economist and a senior advisor at Eurasia Group. That is the same firm as Gerald Butts — Justin Trudeau’s closest aide, Eurasia vice-chair, and an informal adviser to Carney. Eurasia has taken federal consulting contracts.
Evan Solomon is Carney’s old Ottawa neighbour and jogging friend. CBC fired him in 2015 over art-commission deals; Carney was in that orbit as “the Guv.” Solomon later ran GZERO Media, Eurasia’s media arm. Carney put him in Cabinet. The voice explaining tariffs came out of the same shop as the Prime Minister’s wife and Butts.
David Lametti played hockey with Carney at Oxford. He was Trudeau’s justice minister, then Carney’s principal secretary, then Canada’s ambassador to the United Nations. From New York he pushes UN control of AI rules and calls the United States “obstructionist” on UN equality files. That is this government’s voice at the UN.
The rest of the machine is not all in Question Period.
Maia Johnson, an American Democratic operative from Clinton-world, is chief operating officer of the PMO — a job that barely existed in that office.
Marc-André Blanchard, former UN ambassador, then Quebec pension-fund leadership, is chief of staff.
Louise Arbour, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, is Governor General.
Dominic Barton — McKinsey, former ambassador to China, co-founder of the Century Initiative that wants 100 million people in Canada by 2100 — now chairs Invest in Canada, the agency that is supposed to turn foreign pledges into shovels.
Mark Wiseman — the other Century Initiative co-founder, former CPPIB, former BlackRock, Carney’s friend — is ambassador to Washington.
Tom Pitfield went from the PMO to the Senate.
Trudeau-era names were not erased. They were posted as voices: Lametti at the UN, Jonathan Wilkinson toward the EU, Bill Blair toward London, Chrystia Freeland to Ukraine reconstruction and then the Rhodes Trust. They still speak for the project. They just do it from missions and foundations.
Not every name is a WEF membership card. Carney’s own card is real. The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation is a real Liberal pipeline. Stamp “alumnus” only where the bio says so. You do not need the card. You need the rooms: UN, Davos, climate finance, McKinsey, pensions, the old PMO, Eurasia.
That is why he governs like a CEO. He was trained to move capital, climate rules, and institutions — not to score a first apartment, a family doctor, or a permit that does not move. So Canada gets a new COO title, a trillion-dollar slogan, pension funds used as a carrot, a $70-billion UAE pledge with no shovel-ready list, 3.3% annualized sold as victory, “wait Trump out,” and “stop doing memes.” It gets Century Initiative men on inbound cash and at the U.S. embassy. It gets a dairy-association chair in a Quebec seat he opened by sending a Conservative to the Senate.
That is why so much of the press stays on the bus. Access. The same dinners. A belief that this is seriousness. Challenge the org chart and you are a conspiracy account. Repeat the quarter and you are a grown-up.
The dots are not in one secret PDF. They are in who holds the PMO, the UN seat, Rideau Hall, Invest in Canada, Washington, and the family consultancy. People in 1,350-square-foot houses are the residual. That is why he does not feel like a prime minister. He never left the room he was hired from.
@grok
Lake America EXPOSED THE DOUBLE STANDARD And Canada Discovered HISTORY MATTERS Overnight!!
They already renamed streets, squares, universities, parkways, a stop sign, the national anthem, and even a syrup bottle and called it reconciliation.
Then one executive order later, names suddenly became sacred heritage that must never be touched.
This video is about the double standard, not the water.
Ontario stays Ontario in Canada.
The point is the script flipped 180° and they hoped you wouldn’t notice.
Please like, comment, and share far and wide!!
So Doug Ford cancelled a Starlink contract that was ready to offer connectivity over a year ago...
Without asking the public (the one's who needed the connectivity) or releasing the penalty amount (to the tax payers who paid for it).
And today,
Paid to put up a billboard, probably because they don't have internet to voice their opinion !
This is what self interest looks like, Elbows up, sacrificing the Country out of pure Hubris.
70% of Canada is concentrated in one little pocket that dips south of the 49th, telling you all you need to know about where the dependency lies.
This is all happening because of a trade dispute.
If you normalize bilateral exports by each countires GDP, Canada is at least 10 times more economically exposed to America than America is to Canada. This is called leverage, stop allowing your politicians to torpedo your prosperity for their own self enrichment and Hubris.
Clearly, the Canadian population and the American population work together well, if some politicians are looking to cut ties ask yourself why. #lpc

Intentionally rolling your car off a cliff so that you can buy a new one with insurance money is called fraud, and it just serves to make everybody's premiums GO up! #lpc

Not to mention that the quality and availability of healthy aka perishable choices (particularly greens, kale, collards, radicchio, endive) has taken a nose dive under liberal governments ! Internal trade barriers made producing and buying Canadian produce even harder while everyone complains about tariffs. And while Trump tries to bring affordable food back to the table, why are Canadian politicians recommending people not buy them?
Maybe our politicians should look at what it takes to move items like wine, chicken, potatoes, beef and yogurt (Siggi's is made in Granby Quebec, you're 3 times as far to get that to Alberta vs the maritimes. Yet, it can be up to 40% more expensive in the Maritimes, because of numerous Government regulations and controls) around Canada before ranting about southerly neighbours.
The #lpc is creating strife across borders when they should be creating positive pathways and simple solutions at home!
Parti Québécois #bq calling bullshit. A lot of people are concerned about the spiral, but this (Paul St-Peirre Plamondon speaking up) is how you get out of it! #canpoli got Canada into this mess, Can Poli get Canadians out?
THAT’S THE ENTIRE PROBLEM. 🇨🇦
The Parti Québécois says the French language was not being threatened in the U.S. trade negotiations.
HOW WOULD CANADIANS KNOW?
We haven’t seen the deal.
The opposition hasn’t seen the deal.
The public hasn’t seen the deal.
Yet Canadians are being asked to accept the economic consequences of rejecting it.
That is unacceptable.
If French was truly under threat, show us the clause.
If it wasn’t, explain why Canadians were told it was a red line.
RELEASE THE DEAL.
Here's the kicker - even if we grant that the tiny human contribution to the massive and naturally dynamic carbon cycle is meaningfully changing the pace of impact - which is debatable itself - we still have to ask where the next finite dollar of taxpayer money should be invested to produce the biggest benefit to the taxpayer. If you set out to drain a lake, but it cost 50% of your gdp to drain a few drops, you'd never approve that project.
This is the core of the green energy grift.
The 200M of taxpayer money used to derisk Entropy's stated (not delivered) carbon reductions equates to 0.0004% of net human driven emissions. In order to reduce global HUMAN specific emissions by 1% at this ratio, it would take a 1/2 TRILLION dollars. Canada doesn't have this money, and that's 1%. This is government spending fraud made possible by a virtue signalling #lpc liberal government who enrich themselves by manipulating Canadians who don't track the value-for-money of government spending and just want to "save the planet" at all costs because that sounds like a good headline to live by.
Financial architects like Carney and his globalist friends rely on massive amounts of taxpayer money flowing through government coffers with complex redistribution instruments so that even small % skims here and there make them immensely wealthy.
Brookfield's fund which Carney architected and almost certainly has meaningful stake in committed $300M to an unproven Carbon Capture outfit (Entropy) a year before the Trudeau liberals (advised by Carney) de-risked that risky investment with 200M taxpayer dollars. The success of the Brookfield fund is directly tied to the financial benefit of its managers and stakeholders - Carney and his friends. This is just one project, but it's happening at scale all over the world.
How much does Carney stand to personally make? How much do his friends stand to make?
How was this investment selected and approved? Who signed off? How have policies this liberal government have created driven positive financial outcomes for these people? What success criteria in terms of tangible benefit to taxpayers would it need to achieve to be warranted, and are those even remotely on the table to begin with, let alone at the end of a planned road map?
Canada’s economy is under mounting pressure and Carney’s personal wealth makes the optics impossible to ignore. 🇨🇦
Workers lose jobs.
Families lose purchasing power.
Businesses lose investment.
Meanwhile, the man asking Canadians to absorb the pain is financially insulated from almost all of it.
That’s the political vulnerability:
The downside is public.
The protection is private.
The crazy part is how normalized this has become, this is the 80% not the 20%.
In a normal world you can point to connections, maybe some sketchyness in contract awards every now and again because people travel in circles and some industries don't have much choice (so there is inevitable overlap). When it becomes every major contract, every major dump of tax payer money, and flagrant and intentional lack of competition, and the mainstream media mutes it every single time you need the voter base to wake up and smell the corruption.
Follow the names.
Denis Turcotte ran Algoma Steel.
He has been a Brookfield Managing Partner since 2017.
Mark Carney ran Brookfield Asset Management
until he decided he should run the country.
Yesterday Carney posted
“Built in Canada, by Canadian workers, with Canadian steel”
on an $11-billion icebreaker contract.
Algoma is a supplier.
Not the shipyard.
Not a Brookfield takeover.
Here’s the record they skipped.
Ottawa and Ontario put $500 million in loans
into that mill last fall
to “protect jobs.”
Then came 1,000 layoff notices.
Those cuts hit this spring.
Now it’s hard hats, photo ops,
and “Stanley Cup of contracts.”
Canadian steel in Canadian ships is the right call.
Using a Brookfield alumni mill as a prop
after public money and mass layoffs
is something else.
Ask the question.
Don’t accept the slogan.
#cdnpoli #CanadaFirst
The cpc enjoys a good ice breaker too, And ... the cpc has better follow through.
The #lpc is too liberal with time, words and promises aren't enough this close to the #bq finish line
Just like bogus charities, where donations feed inflated salaries to the charity operators and unchecked expense accounts, I wonder what paltry percentage of this tariff relief budget will actually go to those effected vs get skimmed off by friends of the liberals.
Take away income, destroy the people's spending power, tax the people beyond reason, create the welfare state, then hand out the money only as you see fit. Sound familiar? #lpc #canpoli
CANADIANS PAY TWICE: 🇨🇦
ONCE FOR THE TRADE WAR.
AGAIN FOR THE BAILOUT.
Yet again, Ottawa is using your tax dollars to cushion businesses from damage created by its own trade strategy.
That isn’t an economic plan. It’s a bailout for the consequences.
“We can give ourselves more than the U.S. can take away” sounds great from a podium.
But if that were true, why does Ottawa need billions of Canadian taxpayer dollars to replace what the U.S. is taking away?
Canada walked away from a deal.
Now Canadians may pay twice:
Once through the trade war.
Again through the bailout. Viral headline
