Imagine if we had negotiated a KIA or Hyundai plant in Canada as part of the deal. Lots of jobs, lots of taxes. We are still waiting to see if the Japanese will pull or shutdown one of there plants after the debacle of 49000 Chinese cars coming to Canada. Carney is not a negotiator.
How many people were murdered and severely injured during the past eleven years of this government protecting violent offenders over Canadian citizens who eventually were victims. Everyone knows it’s just not the victims, families live with the results of the offences for years.
No consequences to any government for these tragic laws that were put in place years before.
I think we need a commission to investigate the reason we put lax laws in and the resulting outcomes ie statistics of deaths and injuries from said laws.
@FoodProfessor@fordnation Absolutely brilliant, you had me, for the first time in twenty years I didn’t vote conservative when he last ran and the first time in fifty years I didn’t vote at all.
Enjoy your posts
@kinsellawarren Chauncey Gardiner alias Mark Carney has done absolutely nothing to better Canada in a full year. He talks a great deal about what he is going to do, but nothing. Actually Chauncey would make a better PM.
Wow. Liberal/NDP Corruption 101.
In February 2026, Vancouver “Condo King” Bob Rennie hosted “An Evening with Mark Carney” at his offices.
146 attendees paid up to $1,775 each.
At least 17 were leading developers.
Former BC Premier Christy Clark was there.
That same month, BC Premier David Eby’s office opened a correspondence file titled “Rennie Meeting” to brief Eby for a private sit down with Rennie.
Four months later, on June 18, 2026, Carney and Eby announced a $3.2 billion condo bailout to buy unsold inventory from developers, including developers who were in the room at Rennie’s fundraiser.
Carney’s exact words at the announcement: “Developers are stuck. They don’t want to sell at a loss.”
In 2017, David Eby, then in opposition, stood in the BC Legislature and asked Christy Clark how she could justify giving Bob Rennie “access to the most senior policy members in her office, weeks before the foreign buyer tax was introduced, and then exempting [Rennie’s] core business from that same foreign buyer tax.”
That question, posed by David Eby to Christy Clark in 2017, is now the question posed to Eby and Carney in 2026.
And Carney dared to say that no one directly lobbied him for this?
No wonder an ethics committee investigation has been called.

The UAE does not tolerate terrorists; it deletes them from the equation.Iraq is now arresting members of the Islamic regime. Lebanon has normalized relations with Israel and is pushing Hezbollah out.Meanwhile, in the EU, the UK, and across the West, Muslim Brotherhood terrorists get upgraded to “activists,” the IRGC plays street politics, and antisemitism is treated like a fashionable opinion instead of a crime. That is not tolerance. That is political cowardice wearing a human-rights costume.
Walter Duranty knew people were starving. He wrote that they weren't anyway.
From his comfortable Moscow apartment, the New York Times correspondent filed dispatch after dispatch in 1932 and 1933 assuring American readers that talk of famine in Ukraine was, in his words, "an exaggeration or malignant propaganda." Meanwhile, the Holodomor killed somewhere between 3.5 and 7 million people. Stalin requisitioned the grain, sealed the borders of starving villages, and let entire regions collapse into death and cannibalism. Duranty saw the reports. He had the sources. He chose Stalin.
Duranty privately told a British diplomat, Sir William Strang, in September 1933 that "as many as 10 million" had likely died. Then he went back to his typewriter and produced the line "there is no actual starvation." He calculated that access to the regime, the famous interviews, the prestige of being the man who explained the Soviet experiment to America, was worth more than the truth. The market he served rewarded him for it. The Pulitzer committee handed him their 1932 prize for correspondence. They have never revoked it.
This is what central planning always buys: not just the bodies in the field but the men with pens who explain why the bodies don't count. Every engineered scarcity needs its Duranty. Someone has to stand at the edge of the mass grave and assure the readers back home that the five-year plan is working, that the eggs are necessary for the omelette (his actual phrase). The state directs the grain. The court intellectual directs the narrative. Both jobs pay well.
Free market economists spent the entire 20th century explaining that you cannot run an economy by command without producing exactly this: shortage, terror, and a press corps competing to flatter the men who caused it.
The famine ended, and the Pulitzer sits on the wall at 620 Eighth Avenue to this day.
I’m a gay man and I’m done staying silent.
I survived bullying, the coming-out wars, and actual hate for who I am.
What I won’t accept is importing millions from cultures where they throw us off rooftops, hang us, or jail us for life.
Pride flags in Tehran? Laughable. Open borders + unchecked migration from places that treat gays like vermin isn’t “compassion” — it’s suicide for everything we fought for.
Protect Western values or watch them disappear. Gay rights aren’t compatible with mass immigration from the most anti-gay societies on Earth.
Change my mind.
In 1962, General Ne Win marched into power and announced that Burma would build socialism its own way. Within a generation, the country that had exported more rice than anyone on earth could barely feed itself. Rice output collapsed from 1.9 million tons to roughly 530,000. The "rice bowl of Asia" became a beggar with an empty bowl.
You should understand what actually happened here, because the mechanism is the whole lesson. Ne Win nationalized everything. Banks, factories, import houses, the rice trade itself. He set the price farmers received for their crop by decree, far below what the grain was worth, then forced them to sell their quota to the state. So the farmer did exactly what any rational man does when you confiscate the fruit of his labor: he grew less. Why break your back planting a third paddy when the state pockets the difference and hands you a receipt? Output falls. Smuggling rises. The black market becomes the only honest market left.
The price system is information. Strip it out and you blind the entire economy at once, and no committee of colonels in Rangoon can reconstruct by guesswork what a million traders once knew.
The regime also rationed dyes along with everything else, and saffron, the deep orange that has marked Buddhist monks for two and a half millennia, fell under the controls. So the monks wore dull, washed-out robes. A government with the power to set the color of a monk's robe had decided it was wiser than the farmer, the merchant, the lender, and twenty-five centuries of religious custom. The robe faded because the planners reached that far. They always reach that far.
By 1987 the United Nations granted Burma "Least Developed Country" status, the same bracket as Mali and Chad. A nation rich in rice, teak, oil, and rubies had been engineered into poverty by men who believed sincerity could replace prices.
Sincerity does not plant rice. Farmers do, when you let them keep it.
"Much of what is called 'social problems' consists of the fact that intellectuals have theories that do not fit the real world. From this, they conclude that it is the real world which is wrong and needs changing."
