Mike Rowe reveals Ford has 5,000 unfilled mechanic jobs paying $120,000 a year.
No degree required. AI-proof. And Ford still can't fill them.
ROWE: "Not a week goes by when I don’t get a call from some CEO... elected official... freaking out."
"They’ve done the math: for every five tradespeople who retire, two come in. It’s been that way for about 12 years now."
“Jim Farley (Ford CEO) told me he’s got 5,000 empty bays at Ford. These are AI-proof six-figure jobs, right? $120,000 a year. He can’t fill them.”
In a separation conversation with Shawn Ryan, Rowe said he visited a Texas data center and met three “debt-free” electricians under 30 making “north of $240,000/year.”
All three of those electricians have been “poached” three times in the last 18 months because the demand for electricians is crazy high.
THE BIG TAKEAWAY: If you're thinking about college but aren't sure what you really wanna do, trade school might be the smarter play.
Chances are, you'll take on a lot less debt, make a lot more money — and AI won't be coming for your job anytime soon.
1 in 4 Canadian employees is now a public servant.
25% of the entire workforce works for government or a government-funded sector.
Highest level in Canadian history.
Of all the jobs added in the last six years, 42% were government jobs.
833,000 new government positions.
THIS is how a government FAKES good GDP numbers to hide their failure.
Pump up the public payroll, call it growth, and hope nobody notices the private sector is carrying the load.
But we Canadians FEEL the failure.
Food banks packed with working people.
Housing out of reach.
Wages that don’t keep up.
Bigger bureaucracy does not equal a stronger country.
It equals a heavier burden on the people who actually create the wealth.
The math is broken.
And so is the country under this Liberal model.

You know what happens when most Canadians miss half their performance targets?
They don't get a bonus.
They get a meeting.
Maybe a warning.
If things don't improve, they get a cardboard box and a handshake.
Only in Ottawa can you miss nearly half your department's targets and still collect a performance cheque with a straight face.
Federal executives pocketed more than $200 million in performance pay while government departments met only about 54% of their stated performance targets. Nearly 98% of executives still received performance pay.
Meanwhile, Canadians are paying more for groceries, more for gas, more for mortgages, and a recent KPMG survey found 42% of manufacturers have already moved production to the U.S. or are considering it.
See the pattern?
In the private sector, performance determines your reward.
In Ottawa, your reward seems to determine how they'll define your performance.
That's the governing philosophy.
Not accountability.
Not value for taxpayers.
Just an insulated bureaucracy grading its own homework... and somehow still awarding itself an A.
The only workplace where failing half the test earns a bonus is the federal government. Everyone else has to live in the economy they're managing.
Canadians have watched Ottawa shovel tens of billions into EV battery plants, subsidies and corporate incentives, only to see projects delayed, scaled back, renegotiated or quietly rewritten. Now it's another $1.95 billion to "bring manufacturing home."
It's worrisome how that works.
Subsidize. Announce. Repeat.
This isn't an argument against manufacturing. Canada should be building locomotives, batteries, vehicles and just about everything else we can compete at. The question is:
Why does every industrial policy now begin with taxpayers writing a massive cheque?
We were promised the EV subsidies would create a self-sustaining manufacturing renaissance. Instead, Canadians keep becoming venture capitalists who never get a vote, while multinational corporations keep getting another deal.
At some point, you have to ask whether the #MarkCarney economic plan is to build an economy... or simply subsidize one.
If every industry needs a taxpayer bailout to survive, maybe the problem isn't Canadian workers.
Just maybe it's government policy. 🇨🇦

An apology is owed.
Today, instead of getting answers, Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment ("pleading the Fifth").
100 times.
Despite being pardoned by Biden.
Today, the White House, released all the information that 5 years ago, got you labeled as a conspiracy theorist, got you silenced & kicked off of social media, while turning friends & family against each other.
Here's what they released:
✅ The virus has a biological feature not found in nature
✅ Every case traces to a single introduction, not the multiple spillovers of past pandemics
✅ Wuhan hosts China's top SARS lab, with a gain-of-function history at unsafe biosafety levels
✅ Researchers there were sick with COVID-like symptoms in fall 2019, before the first wet-market cases
✅ If natural origin evidence existed, it would have surfaced by now. It hasn't
✅ "Proximal Origin," the paper used to kill the lab-leak theory, was prompted by Fauci to push natural origin
✅ EcoHealth used US tax dollars to fund gain-of-function in Wuhan, then doctored documents and lied to Congress
✅ The "6 feet apart" rule "sort of just appeared" (Fauci's words). Never based on science
✅ No conclusive evidence masks worked
✅ The Biden White House colluded with Big Tech to censor COVID dissent, including the lab-leak theory this report now backs
✅ Fauci's advisor bragged he could "make emails disappear" before FOIA
✅ NIH staff misspelled words on purpose to beat records searches
✅ A scientist used a "burner phone" and called his contact a "handler"
✅ US tax dollars reached the Chinese military
✅ $191B stolen in unemployment fraud
✅ $200B stolen in PPP/EIDL fraud
✅ Cuomo personally edited the nursing-home death report
✅ Zuckerberg: the White House "pressured us for months" to censor
The government locked you down.
They coerced you into getting the vaccine.
They masked your kids.
And they censored the truth.
The origin was a lab the whole time.
And their "rules" were all made up.
Read it for yourself.

🇨🇦 Every Canadian should read this twice:
🇨🇦 Canada ranks ..
🥇 1st in uranium
🥇 1st in potash
🥈 2nd in nickel
🥉 3rd in oil
🏅 5th in gold
💧 1st in freshwater
Countries start wars for LESS than this.
And somehow we are told we’re too poor to cut taxes, too broke to build homes, too weak to compete, too small to matter.
It took historic levels of incompetence and ideological sabotage to bury a country this blessed.
Imagine where Canada would be if we were actually allowed to win.
However we are poorer than Alabama, the poorest US state ! 🇺🇸🚩

The Star had the details exactly right. I have more details I will share with you tomorrow on air - but Carney made a handshake deal to support the Island airport expansion in exchange for MPPs supporting land clearance in their ridings for high-speed rail.
Somewhere in the last 3-4 weeks, Carney has changed his mind & reneged on the deal. This was a straight quid-pro-quo, & even if Ford’s bromance w/ Carney continues, there’s some ugly sentiment from Ontario PC MPPs towards Carney & his weak knees. Buckle up.
The crazy BC condo bail out, the mistruths about the Gordie Howe Bridge, & now the first true betrayal of his word to his biggest supporter as a Premier. People are figuring out what they’ve voted for.

There is no “liberal” party anymore. At least one that reflects true liberal values.
Canadians haven’t looked past the label long enough to realize what has happened.
They are far left revolutionaries now.
There is a war against western nations and the left is participating in its active destruction. The west was built through a certain set of values and it’s those values that make us strong and successful.
Yet that is what is attacked on the daily.
Merit
Morality
Equality
Capitalism
Faith
Family
Justice
Freedom
The west is being torn down by people who clearly don’t understand what we actually have here. The brainwashing runs deep and the worst part is a lot of it comes from foreign sources that also want the west dismantled.
I sit down with @theroguelawyer_ to talk about some shocking recent crimes, media bias, two-tier justice and the war against the west.
Liberal whip Mark Gerretsen’s Instagram videos are very telling on what is happening inside the Liberal party.
He only does videos on issues that Liberals are forced to defend, meaning issues that are truly sticking negatively to Liberals.
Last week it was a defending the Prime Minister lying about the Gordie Howe bridge deal. (Which the PM admitted)
Today it is a video about the role of opposition.
He said opposition aka Conservatives shouldn’t question Mark Carney’s motives.
He said Conservatives should focus on their policy instead of trying to prove who Mark Carney really works for.
But why shouldn’t we question motives?
Motives determine priorities. Priorities determine policy. And policy determines who benefits.
When Canadians are struggling to afford homes, groceries and basic necessities, when productivity and GDP per person have stagnated, and when repeat violent offenders are cycling through the justice system, Canadians have every right to ask:
Who is this government working for?
For a decade, Liberal policies have increased government spending and debt, raised taxes and regulatory costs, failed to build housing fast enough to match population growth, and weakened bail laws while Canadians watched their standard of living deteriorate.
So yes, let’s debate policy.
Conservatives want lower income taxes so Canadians keep more of what they earn.
Build more homes by cutting taxes and bureaucracy, freeing federal land and rewarding municipalities that actually build.
Unlock Canadian energy, investment and resource development.
Control government spending and deficits.
And restore consequences for repeat violent offenders with stronger bail and sentencing laws.
But Gerretsen is wrong about one thing:
Policy does not make motive irrelevant. Policy is evidence of motive and priorities.
We should question why decisions are made. We should question whose interests are being prioritized. We should question whether the people making those decisions are serving Canadians first.
That isn’t a character attack.
That is accountability.
And when the Liberal Whip publicly tells the opposition to stop questioning the Prime Minister’s motives, my response is simple:
Why?
Why is that the question you don’t want asked?
CARNEY’S DIGITAL ID TROJAN HORSE FIRST THE TRADES. THEN WHO? Carney’s digital ID Trojan horse has arrived and it is being rolled in through the trades. It was not introduced with a sweeping national announcement. It slipped in quietly under the practical-sounding label of “digital verification for tradespeople.” Months after Carney said there were “no current plans” for a common digital identification, he now says, “we agreed,” and that negotiations are underway. That is what makes the Trojan horse so effective. It does not look threatening. It is presented as convenient, efficient and limited to one group. But once the infrastructure is inside the gates, it can be expanded to link credentials, employment, government services, and access to more parts of everyday life. First the trades. Then who? The danger is not that digital ID arrives by force. It is that Canadians welcome it as convenience before realizing what was hidden inside. #MarkCarney #DigitalID #CdnPoli #CanadianPolitics #DigitalFreedom
3 years ago CBC ran a piece called “Recapturing our flag” The clip was meant to disparage those who waved it during the Convoy as a symbol of freedom & protest. Fast forward to today & it’s now ok to wave the flag by all of them as a symbol of freedom & protest against the U.S.
How captured are these individuals? Our very own Government locked you down, they mandated you inject something under your skin or you will lose your job and your ability to enter businesses, they made your children take it, they banned millions from air travel and instead of standing up for what was right then as a free citizen you chose to take the Governments side?
It’s become clear that the left have zero ability to think for themselves, just witness what’s happened over the last 14 months. They still believe our Government is going to save them based on zero results. Why? Because the news & their politicians simply have to tell them each day that things are getting better, just don’t believe your lying eyes.
Who painted Canadian conservatives as Trump? MAGA?—liberals
Now they have a new brilliant strategy… demand they remove the label that was never based in reality to begin with.
The best part? They can’t show a single actual problem to fix. No policy. No vote. No comparison. Just a label they invented to win an election—paired with “you’re not a patriot” unless you disprove a smear they made up in the first place.
P.s conservatives have been team canada since before it was trending on your feed. They just want you to forget that it was the liberals who called anyone waving a Canadian flag a radical up until a year ago. They want you to forget that it was the liberals who declared Canada a post national state. And now, they want you to forget who our real enemies are.
Friendly reminder: 85% of trade is tariff free. 96% of the 42% of businesses who want to leave Canada because of liberal policies have tariff free trade. 80-90% of manufacturers say a U.S trade deal is the most important thing for the Canadian economy.
Liberals are incredibly good at redefining things to suit their narrative. Like how they now redefine criticizing the government as “Trumpian” or “anti-Canada”.
Don’t you dare let them redefine what it means to be a patriot.
You think President Trump's new 50% tariffs is about a dispute with Canada? Think again.
Canadian PM Mark Carney isn't defending Canada — he's the globalist's point man against Trump, & he's staffing Ottawa with globalist & Crown operatives.
@sjkokinda with the breakdown.
Oh, what a triumph in Charlottetown!
Canada's premiers gathered in sunny P.E.I. for their annual First Ministers' Meeting, stared down the barrel of Trump's 50% tariffs, and... delivered exactly what we expected. More hot air, and one shiny MOU.
They rallied behind Carney with stirring declarations of "Team Canada" unity and "new urgency." Ford demanded everyone be "more vocal" against Trump (because yelling louder has historically worked so well). Everyone nodded in agreement about health transfers, major projects, and affordability.
The crowning achievement? Nine provinces signed an agreement to let us buy out-of-province booze directly. Amazing After decades of interprovincial trade barriers strangling the economy, they finally cracked the booze cabinet. Quebec sat it out, of course, because why spoil a good protection racket?
No plan to deal with Trump's wake-up call. Just vague promises to "intensify negotiations" while the clock ticks toward August 19. Another photo-op summit where Canada's leaders proved they're excellent at projecting confidence and terrible at actual delivery.
Canadians facing higher prices and economic pain can rest easy knowing their premiers had a constructive chat and some Island lobster. Problem solved.
On today’s episode of “Carney Can’t Make a Deal”…
@brianlilley just laid it out plain: Mark Carney doesn’t actually want a trade deal with the United States.
He says Carney keeps sending the Americans letters that basically say “let’s have more discussions about the discussions we already had.” Meanwhile, the U.S. side is asking for actual fixes and resolutions — not another round of photo ops and vague proposals.
Lilley’s point is brutal but accurate: fighting with Trump is politically valuable for Carney right now. His base loves the “elbows up” theatre. A lot of them are retired, their money is in the S&P 500, and plant jobs drying up in Ontario or Alberta doesn’t hit their retirement accounts.
So why settle when you can keep the fight going and stay popular with the people who voted for you?
Meanwhile, 50% tariffs on over 500 Canadian products are still scheduled to hit August 19th. Mexico is already in active rounds of talks. We’re still getting “we’ll intensify negotiations.”
This isn’t negotiation. This is managed decline dressed up as resistance.
Carney had one job: protect Canadian workers and get a deal done.
He’s failing on purpose because the failure polls better than the fix.
Video attached. Brian Lilley calling it exactly how it looks.
