I still can't get over the fact that the Canadian government is not ashamed by the fact that they are giving people money for groceries. In any normal country, this would be an abject admission of total failure.

[L. Wayne Mathison @WayneMathison]

Canada is producing a lot of oil. That is not the scandal. The scandal is that we should be producing, exporting, upgrading, transporting, and profiting from far more, while Ottawa spent a decade treating one of our greatest national assets like an embarrassing skin condition.

Under Trudeau, Canada did not lack oil. Canada lacked permission. Carney is continuing this.

We had the reserves.
We had the workers.
We had the engineering.
We had global demand.
We had allies who would gladly buy from a stable democratic country instead of dictatorships.

And what did Ottawa do?

It cancelled Northern Gateway. It buried Energy East under regulatory fog. Keystone XL died in the U.S., but Canada’s weak energy posture did not help. Only Trans Mountain finally got finished, late and wildly expensive, after Ottawa turned a private-sector project into a government rescue mission. Reuters notes that in the past decade, several major Canadian pipeline projects were proposed, but only the Trans Mountain expansion was completed.

That is not an energy strategy. That is self-sabotage with a briefing binder.

Yes, Canadian crude output hit records in 2024. Statistics Canada said crude oil and equivalent production reached a fourth straight annual record, up 4.3% in 2024. The Canada Energy Regulator also reported average crude and equivalent production of 5.13 million barrels per day in 2024, rising again in the first half of 2025.

But that actually makes the Liberal failure look worse.

Because the industry succeeded despite Ottawa, not because of it. Like a farmer getting a crop off after the government spent ten years throwing rocks in the combine.

The real damage was not “zero production.” It was strangled potential: less investment, fewer pipelines, weaker market access, bigger discounts, more uncertainty, and fewer nation-building projects. Statistics Canada reported that oil and gas capital outlays fell 55% from 2014 to 2019, then another 36% in 2020. That is what policy hostility does. Capital does not hold a press conference. It just leaves.

And now Carney comes along with the same net-zero priesthood, but with better shoes and central banker vocabulary. He talks about investment, transition, climate finance, and “values,” but the machinery underneath is familiar: regulate, cap, tax, delay, subsidize preferred industries, and pretend prosperity can be spreadsheeted into existence by people who have never had to make payroll in a resource town.

Canada should be an energy superpower. Not as a slogan. As a fact.

We should be building pipelines to tidewater.

We should be expanding LNG.

We should be upgrading more oil here.

We should be supplying allies.

We should be using natural gas, hydro, nuclear, and oil as strategic national strengths.

We should stop apologizing for having what the world needs.

The Liberal approach is insane: leave Canadian wealth in the ground, import moral lectures from Europe, then wonder why productivity is weak, investment is fleeing, and Canadians feel poorer.

[L. Wayne Mathison @WayneMathison]

This is the Liberal cycle in one picture:

1. Make groceries unaffordable.
2. Tax, borrow, regulate, and inflate the cost of living.
3. Hand people a government benefit.
4. Call it compassion.

A grocery benefit is not proof the policy is working. It is proof too many people now need help buying basics in one of the richest countries on earth.

Before 2015, feeding your family was normal life. Now Ottawa acts like helping people cover “essentials” is some grand achievement.

That is not economic strength.
That is managed decline with a press release.

If a guy screams "Heil Hitler!" in your face, you're not going to accomplish anything by debating the finer points of the Rhineland occupation. Similarly, if someone is shrieking for intifada, they don't care in the slightest that their genocide libel is fake. They've announced what they value, and it isn't the truth.

🚨 FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY

The people with government pensions, government drivers, government limos and government jets have a message:

The cuts should start with seniors.

👇

Am I the only one seeing a pattern here?

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

This is the kind of decisive response to a recession that only a master economist and crisis manager could give.

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

Liberal open borders brought it in.
Liberal divide-and-conquer politics worsened it.
Liberal soft-on-crime laws let it erupt.

Vile antisemitism is here.

Enforce our laws. Deport visiting terrorists. Protect our Jewish Canadians.

[Hillel Neuer @HillelNeuer]

“We now have an investigation into more than 1500 UNRWA staff suspected of being Hamas terrorists, or directly linked to Hamas terrorists. That is a big damn deal. That is an agency that needs to shut down. Needs to be padlocked. Needs to be ended.”
— 🇺🇸 Senator @TedCruz

[L. Wayne Mathison @WayneMathison]

This is the political class in one headline:

Run the country into debt for over a decade, blow money on every boutique ideology, consultant racket, subsidy scheme, failed program, foreign cheque, and bureaucratic empire, then suddenly discover “fiscal responsibility” when it is time to cut seniors.

No. Start with Ottawa’s waste machine.

Cut MP salaries. Cut the consultants. Cut the corporate welfare. Cut the bloated bureaucracy. Cut the ideological departments. Cut the vanity climate spending. Cut the foreign virtue-signalling cheques. Cut the CBC. Cut MSM subsidies. Cut the programs that do nothing except employ people who write reports about programs.

But elderly benefits?

That is always where the technocrat brain goes first. Not because it is smart. Because seniors are easier to guilt than bureaucracies are to fire.

Canada does not have a “seniors are too expensive” problem.

Canada has a government-is-too-bloated problem.

The same crowd that told us endless borrowing was compassion now wants Grandma to pay the invoice. That is not courage. That is cowardice dressed up as accounting.

Canada's governor general quietly locks the country into the WHO's expanded pandemic powers

As the U.S. rejects the revamped, legally binding framework, Canada is full steam ahead with debate or public consultation.

Canada has moved forward without a whisper of debate on the World Health Organization’s latest bid for greater authority over global health emergencies, while the United States outright rejected it.

Earlier this month, Governor General Mary Simon authorized Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand to accept the Amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR), adopted in Geneva on June 1, 2024.

The decision was sealed through a routine Order in Council. That means that there was no parliamentary vote, no public consultation, and no meaningful provincial input.

Canadians were simply informed after the fact.

This stands in stark contrast to the American position where, under President Trump’s leadership, the U.S. rejected the amendments and withdrew funding from the WHO entirely earlier this year.

These amendments were rushed through the World Health Assembly in May 2024, in spite of the fact that they’re not minor, technical tweaks.

Instead, they serve to strengthen and entrench the WHO’s ability to declare emergencies, coordinate international responses, and pressure sovereign nations toward compliance with whatever they deem necessary.

Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who praised China’s early COVID-19 response in a now-removed report, insists that the updates are merely about “cooperation and collaboration.”

Yet several countries are hesitating, or walking away like the US has.

Canada, as usual, is all in.

With Bill Gates poised as one of the WHO’s largest donors following the US withdrawal, he has repeatedly called for military-style “virus war games” every five years to grade nations on their preparedness.

Canadian government IHR overview even openly list “emergency preparedness and response exercises” as a core way Ottawa meets its IHR obligations.

What began as optional simulations is being baked into the regular cycle of “global health security.”

This is classic incrementalism: quiet, heavily bureaucratic, and loaded with sweeping implications.

During COVID-19, WHO “recommendations” quickly became domestic mandates — lockdowns, mask rules, travel bans, and vaccine passports. Dissent was branded misinformation. Families were divided, livelihoods destroyed, and public trust shattered.

The amended regulations grease the wheels for faster emergency declarations and tighter coordination with global actors, include pharmaceutical interests and mandated intelligence sharing, leaving Ottawa with less room to push back.

The Pathogen Access and Benefit Sharing (PABS) annex could incentivize the hunt for deadly viruses, expand lab risks, and centralize global health power under the World Health Organization, warns Yale graduate Reggie Littlejohn, President of Anti-Globalist International.

Despite Canada being a parliamentary democracy, none of these commitments were brought to the House of Commons for debate or a vote. Yet, Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada continue to champion “global health security,” all while leaving their own pandemic-era failures and outdated regulations unaddressed.

Who, exactly, is guarding Canadian sovereignty and informed consent when the next declared emergency arrives?

Tedros himself has made clear that questioning the official narrative will not be tolerated.

We have lived this story once already. Locking in the framework for round two without transparency or democratic oversight is not prudent governance. Instead, it’s the normalization of the very overreach that eroded Canadian’s civil liberties the first time.

It’s high time that the government commit to prioritizing local accountability over backroom commitments to unelected global bureaucracies funded by pharmaceutical interests.

The group you keep hearing about in the media, Coastal First Nations, isn't a band.
They hold neither rights nor title.
They're a not-for-profit based in downtown Vancouver started with money from American foundations opposed to resource development.

Poilievre criticizes PM Mark Carney for limited House attendance and says "he won't get out of his chair."

The Speaker intervenes, warning the tone is out of line.

Poilievre responds that Carney is "very fragile" and "not used to taking any difficult questions."

[Marc Nixon @MarcNixon24]

OUTRAGEOUS 🚨

A student visa holder organized thefts from an Alberta store 14 TIMES, was convicted of a major crime carrying up to 10 years in prison… and avoided deportation with HOUSE ARREST.

Canada is collapsing under Liberal double standards.

Citizens are fed up.

[David Jacobs @DrJacobsRad]

Let me be blunt.

The Canadian Jewish community expects the Government of Canada and its representatives to gather facts before issuing statements of condemnation.

When that doesn't happen and a minister shoots from the hip, the bullets tend to ricochet and hit members of the Jewish community.

[יצחק הרצוג Isaac Herzog @Isaac_Herzog]

In my call with Prime Minister @MarkJCarney of Canada, I expressed my deep alarm over the rise in antisemitic violence in Canada. I called on Prime Minister Carney and his government to address the fear and sense of abandonment felt by our sisters and brothers in the Canadian Jewish community before it’s too late.

In our discussion, we agreed that Israel has the right to self-defense. I reiterated that we are acting to protect our people against the threat of terror from Iran and its terror proxies in the region, including Hezbollah in Lebanon. I also underlined the importance of implementing UN Security Council Resolution 2803 in Gaza, including the vital condition that Hamas is disarmed and a new government is established in Gaza.

[Mark McLean @TMark63]

@Pagmenzies @StaceyMonette27 @stphnmaher @djbip1986 It's absurd that we have a province with its own party in federal parliament...sadly, Canada is not a serious country.

[Andrew Scheer @AndrewScheer]

🚨 BREAKING NEWS!!! 🚨

Mark Carney just voted AGAINST protecting private property rights in land claims.

He's telling government lawyers that they are not allowed to fight to protect your home ownership.

You pay your mortgage and your property tax. Your property rights should be protected!

[Sason Ross @SasonRoss]

This isn't about Israel, Palestine, or the conflict.

This is an effigy of a Jew wearing a kippah, hanging from a noose in Canada.

This is antisemitism. Full stop.

When hateful posters were displayed at a Toronto protest last month, local police stepped in. The same must happen here.

I call on every leader to denounce this, investigate it, and ensure it is never tolerated in this country.

🚨 Canadian taxpayers just got absolutely TORCHED again.

Greg McLean just ripped apart the Liberal green fantasy in committee:

- $50 MILLION federal + $140 MILLION Quebec taxpayer dollars dumped into Lion Electric for “electric buses”
- Company does a classic pump-and-dump, goes bankrupt
- CEO walks away with $33 MILLION in his pocket
- Their “safe green buses” start catching fire and get yanked off the roads

The last thing any parent wants is putting their kids on a government-subsidized fireball.

This isn’t “investment.” This is corporate welfare for insiders while the rest of us eat the losses.

Zero accountability. Zero due diligence. Just more Liberal green grift.

Drop a 🔥 if you’re sick of your tax dollars funding these EV disasters.

(Full committee clip attached — watch McLean cook them)
