🚨 Breaking 🚨

B.C. Government blew $165,000 buying 1,000 cups of coffee for a publicity stunt in Seattle.

That works out to $165 per cup of coffee.

Every year tourists come to Canada, receive health services and then don't pay their bill.

https://t.co/zUEKXhpWIT has been digging into this problem.
Over the last five years, this issue has cost B.C. taxpayers over $200 million.

TRUTH BOMBS ON FIFA FROM DECLAN HILL "Well, first of all, FIFA is an organized crime group. That's the words of the Southern District of New York. A court has banged a gavel and said that group is full of racketeers, mobsters, convicted war criminals."

"And this is the group that we are handing tens of millions, hundreds of millions. And by the time the bill comes in, over a billion dollars Canadian taxpayers Money to do 10 soccer games."

"We've never actually had a debate in Canada... (politicians) will not allow a debate."

"They're suspending our civil liberties in much of these areas around the World Cup."

"...This, this is the number they're giving us today. They gave us other numbers last week. They gave us other numbers when they paid a bid for this World Cup. I guarantee you, Natasha, and please hold me to this... It's not going to stop at 82 million."

"It's going to be far north of a billion dollars because there's a whole bunch of money that those governments, federal, provincial and city have said we're not going to tell you."

"We should have had this debate two, three, five years ago when the hosting was given to us, when the decision was made for us to do this."

Watch it all! @declan_hill

🚨 Albertans do NOT have the MONEY to spend on planning imagined future train lines

We have unMoney right now

☁️Why would we do what the Feds are doing & blow money on train plans??

*Alberta government is spending $15 million more on train plans

Why?

We are in massive debt

[Kris Sims @kris_sims]

⁉️Government Grocery Stores ⁉️

Think about all the stuff in a grocery store

Fresh, frozen & cooked food, workers, scanners, cart returns, trucking docks, etc

Government can’t fix its *payroll software* without wasting BILLIONS!

This would NOT make groceries more affordable!

[Kris Sims @kris_sims]

🚫 SCRAP THE NETFLIX TAX!!

58% of Canadians with an opinion say government grocery stores are a bad idea.

It makes sense why. Government grocery stores won't make life more affordable. It'll just result in politicians hiking your taxes.

Politicians need to focus on tax cuts to make life more affordable.

[Carson Binda @BindaCarson]

Great chat with @RobBreakenridge on the @nationalpost podcast about the outrageous costs of hosting a handful of FIFA Wold Cup soccer games.

👍Good news: Carney government is WOBBLING on the Netflix Tax

We can push & knock it down!

🛑Keep telling the government to STOP!

👎Bad news: government is "reviewing" it at CRTC

We don't need a review or more taxpayer money spent - we need the streaming tax SCRAPPED NOW!

[Carson Binda @BindaCarson]

B.C. is bottom of the barrel when it comes to finance ministers.

@BrendaBaileyBC was the only finance minister in the country to earn an F for budget 2026.

She’s hiking taxes, borrowing billions and raising spending.

Ontario is leading the way.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s latest comparison of provincial budgets ranked Ontario 2nd in Canada for fiscal management—a testament to our government's responsible approach to balancing strategic investments with fiscal discipline.

We're proud of this result and will continue working to keep taxes low, grow our economy, build infrastructure and deliver for Ontario families and businesses.

Poilievre grills Carney over spending $195,400 on airplane food during three international trips.

Carney talks about what he hears from "international investors."

Pro tip for Carney: You can travel abroad without billing taxpayers six figures for airplane food.

[Carson Binda @BindaCarson]

FIFA has become unacceptably expensive for BC taxpayers.

Costs to host a tiny fraction of the tournament have gone up more than 200% and taxpayers are being stuck with the bill.

Great conversation with @CTVNewsRob on @cfax1070

$356,000 on 3 novelty soccer balls⚽️

$165,000 for 1,000 cups of coffee☕️

$370,000 per year on luxury vehicle leases for government executives🚗

I was at B.C. Finance Committee for @taxpayerDOTcom with 3 messages: cut taxes, end wasteful spending and pay down the debt.

You’re supposed to get a bonus AFTER a job well done. Not before.

It looks like the high speed rail project is shaping up to be a big waste of taxpayer money.

Time to cancel the Alto project before the government wastes more taxpayer cash.

[Franco Terrazzano @franco_nomics]

Why would they be getting bonuses?

They’re giving themselves bonuses for making plans?

End the taxpayer-funded bonuses!

@BindaCarson @kris_sims @taxpayerDOTcom THANK YOU CARSON!! Great job! 👏
