If ID is so important to the government to “protect children”, why did they allow hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants into Canada without any form of ID?

Musk buying Canada and firing 90% of the public sector would turn this country into a superpower overnight.

[Nick Freitas @NickJFreitas]

The left is not furious over @elonmusk’s wealth.

They are furious that he is able to accomplish so much with money voluntarily given, while leftist politicians take it by force and make things worse.

Elon is hated because he is evidence of their incompetence and corruption.

[A Gene Robinson @AlBuffalo2nite]

😮 Elon Musk paid $11 BILLION in taxes in a single year.

Not $11 million.

Not $110 million.

Eleven. Billion. Dollars.

While politicians who have never built a company, never met a payroll, never created an industry, and never risked their own capital stand at podiums demanding he pay ‘his fair share.’

How much is enough?

$11 billion wasn’t enough.

Creating hundreds of thousands of jobs wasn’t enough.

Revolutionizing electric vehicles wasn’t enough.

Revolutionizing spaceflight wasn’t enough.

Building global communications networks wasn’t enough.

The truth is simple:

For some people, success itself is the offense.

They don’t want more Elon Musks.

They want fewer.

Because a citizen who creates wealth is harder to control than a citizen dependent on government.

One man paid more in taxes than entire nations collect.

And somehow he’s still the villain.

The numbers aren’t the scandal.

The envy is.

K, this is economic illiteracy wearing a moral costume.

Billions are not “hoarded” in a vault. They are ownership stakes in companies, farms, factories, software, equipment, logistics, buildings, and jobs. Capital does not sit there doing nothing. It funds production.

You can argue about wages, taxes, monopolies, or bad corporate behaviour. Fair game. But pretending every large fortune exists only because workers were “exploited” is a stupid Marxist bumper-sticker.

Your brand of money worship is ugly.

So is envy and sloth dressed up as virtue.

How much of CTV’s revenue comes from government help? Virtually all of it.

[L. Wayne Mathison @WayneMathison]

Liberal Canada rarely takes your rights away in one clean motion.

That would be too obvious.

First, the language changes.

Speech becomes “expression.”

Limits become “reasonable.”

Censorship becomes “safety.”

Government control becomes “protection.”

Disagreement becomes “misinformation.”

And once the words change, the public is expected to accept the new rules as if nothing serious happened.

That is how a free society gets managed into silence.

Not by banning liberty outright.

By redefining it until people forget what it used to mean.

Tough to keep track:

* China is a strategic threat but also a strategic partner
* We're pivoting away from the US but helping to make it great again
* We're part of the New World Order
* 51st state is bad, but 28th EU country is good
* Palestine is sovereign but not Alberta

[Dinesh D'Souza @DineshDSouza]

Notice how socialists never talk about seizing the wealth of George Soros or any of the other multi-billionaires who bankroll their operations. They would be praising Elon to the sky, and vigorously protecting his wealth, if he were politically on their side.

[Jason Lavigne @JasonLavigneAB]

For the last 10 years, Albertans have been hit from both sides.

Premier Danielle Smith says more than $500 billion in investment capital destined for our resource sector disappeared over the last decade.

That works out to roughly $100,000 in lost potential for every Albertan.

That is $10,000 per Albertan, per year.

On top of that, Fraser Institute figures show Alberta continues to send billions more to Ottawa than we receive back. Roughly another $4,500 per Albertan, per year based on recent estimates.

Put those together and the impact is $14,500 per Albertan, per year.

For a family of four, that is $58,000 a year in lost opportunity and federal overpayment.

Over 10 years, that is roughly $145,000 per Albertan or $580,000 for a family of 4.

Alberta is not broke.

Alberta is being drained.

Canada has roughly 80,000 Somalis.

At the same time, there are several hundred thousand Labrador Retrievers.

Black, yellow, and chocolate Labs outnumber Somalis, never scam the system, rarely attack people, they contribute to society, serve as guide dogs, search and rescue dogs, and make the most loyal companions.

Their biggest crime might be stealing the odd snack.

Maybe we should give Labs a month instead.

15 years ago, yogurt maker Chobani tried to enter Canada and build a plant in Kingston, Ontario, but was blocked by regulatory and supply management barriers.

Instead of fighting it long-term, they expanded elsewhere, in the United States.

Today:

➡️They buy about 9% of all the milk produced in New York State.
➡️They process 1.6 billion pounds of milk per year in New York.
➡️They built the world’s largest yogurt plant in Idaho.
➡️They’re now building an even bigger one in Rome, New York (over 2 million square feet, 1,000+ jobs).

That is the true cost of supply management.

[Mikhaila Peterson @MikhailaFuller]

Communist brainwashing. @elonmusk has paid the most taxes out of anyone in America, created 150k jobs, and 4400 millionaires just from SpaceX’s IPO. The top 10% pay 70% of all income tax. The government should be giving out awards for that much tax money paid.

[PurΞLovΞ ❤ @RealPureLove]

Before the last Federal Election, I was a strong supporter of keeping Canada together.

I was one of the people who was pushing back against Alberta Independence.

I really thought Canada could start moving in a better direction, with new leadership.

Then the election happened, and the realization finally hit me.

The Liberals have perverted the demographics so severely, that they will never lose another Federal Election.

Canada was never intended to be a dictatorship, but here we are.

So I could either support that, or I could support Alberta Independence.

I chose Alberta Independence.❤️

Let me get this straight, they are going after a former pilot that Transport Canada didn’t flag for 17 years & had 0 incidence! Yet they have ZERO fucking problem with these sandal transport driving fucks that are killing families & make every highway in Canada dangerous & deadly

[Peter McCaffrey @peteremcc]

The Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan is set to make $11 billion on their $220 million investment in SpaceX.

Imagine if Alberta politicians called that a “windfall profit” and demanded Alberta’s share.

That’s what Ontario/Quebec politicians do to Alberta’s oil and gas companies.

[Konstantin Kisin @KonstantinKisin]

I think possibly the best thing about Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire is how angry it makes a bunch of losers who've never built a thing in their lives.

[Tablesalt 🇨🇦🇺🇸 @Tablesalt13]

How moronic are Canadian Liberals?

Well their PM just landed in foreign country

and his first words were:

"its good be home"

Their leader before that is in the USA, cheering on the Team USA, after convincing them to hate the USA.

[Dennis Kalma @DennisKalma]

Does Canada have a guarantee of success on its current trajectory?

Massive reductions in investment

Huge pressures on housing, medical care and infrastructure due to unfettered immigration

Profligate spending by government with no end in sight

Censorship laws which stifle freedoms

Crime rising coupled with ever-softening actions by the courts

Failure to proceed on nation building projects due to government suppression of industry, overweening regulations and incompetent Ottawa

Make your case that Canada has a much better "guarantee of success" in light of my observations.
