@realDrTT @petamocto I promise we hate it here dude. Its not free and its killing people. All of us know it. All of us hate it. And some of us refuse to talk about it out of personal shame and lack of pride for their country... at this point there is barely a country have pride in. Its a dictatorship
I lived in Canada for nearly a decade. Up there they have a practice called “hallway medicine” where they park beds and treat people in hallways because there are no rooms available.
One of my best friends was rushed to the ER with the worst headache of her life — and she had a history of brain cancer. They made her wait (which can take hours in a Canadian ER). Eventually she slumped over and died of an aneurism at the age of 25.
I was once waiting with my wife to be seen for a staph infection on her face. About six hours in of waiting in the ER waiting room (and being harassed several times by a drunk homeless woman for cigarettes) a large man comes in bleeding from his abdomen. They made him sit and wait to be triaged with a growing puddle of blood on the floor in front of him. After about a half an hour he begged to be seen and showed them that he was bleeding and they got annoyed with him and told him to go sit back down and wait.
We waited about 10 hours and then decided to go home.
My mother-in-law waited for nearly an entire year to have her neurostimulator that is literally wired into her spine replaced. She was bumped three times — one time she was literally ON THE OPERATING TABLE when she got rescheduled.
Yet you won’t hear complaints from Canadians about their healthcare system because it’s an unspoken taboo — but when every 1 in 20 Canadians is being killed by their government intentionally, it’s becoming hard to ignore.
The internet is attacking this TikTok mom, calling her the “worst mom on the internet.”
Why?
Her 17-year-old daughter told her and her husband that she’s basically an adult now. She’s ready to move out, go to the college of her choice, and start making her own decisions.
Okay. Fair enough.
But then she seemed genuinely shocked to discover that being independent involves doing things like... making phone calls. Talking to actual human beings. Calling the college to get on a dorm waitlist. Figuring out what steps she needs to take next.
And every time she went back to Mom asking what she should do, Mom told her to “figure it out.”
Because, well... that’s adulthood.
Her mom decided to turn the whole thing into a teachable moment: If you’re ready to make adult decisions and live independently, then you also need to learn how to navigate uncomfortable situations, make your own phone calls, ask questions, and figure out your next move without Mom doing everything for you.
Seems like a pretty valuable lesson for a 17-year-old who’s about to leave home.
And somehow, the internet has decided SHE’S the “worst mom ever.” 😂
Mind you, some of these same corners of the internet are throwing heart hands at a mother who killed her three young children.
But apparently making your teenager call the college herself is where we finally draw the line.
SMDH.
“Nobody wants to work anymore.”
Wrong.
People just do not want to:
- Work 60 hours and still be broke
- Miss their kids growing up
- Get raises smaller than inflation
- Save in a currency printed out of thin air
- Answer emails on weekends
- Get replaced the second margins get tight
- Spend half their paycheck on rent
- Need debt just to survive
- Watch groceries, insurance, and housing go up faster than their income
People do not hate work.
They hate giving everything and getting nowhere.
The cameras caught her sleeping. The critics called it rude. The truth was a secret she hadn't told a soul.
The year was 1981. It was November, just four months after the "Wedding of the Century."
Diana, the new Princess of Wales, was seated at the Victoria and Albert Museum for the "Splendours of the Gonzaga" exhibition. It was a black-tie gala. The atmosphere was stiff, the speeches were long, and the protocol was rigid: Sit up straight. Smile. Be perfect.
But Diana wasn't perfect. She was exhausted.
In a breach of royal etiquette that shocked the press, her head dipped. Her eyes closed. For a brief, unguarded moment, the Princess of Wales was fast asleep in her chair while Prince Charles sat attentively beside her.
The tabloids went wild.
Was she bored?
Was she disrespectful?
Was the marriage already in trouble?
The media analyzed the image as a sign of her immaturity. They called her the "Sleeping Beauty," but the tone wasn't entirely kind. They saw a girl who couldn't handle the job.
But they didn't know the untold truth.
Diana wasn't bored. She was pregnant.
She was 20 years old, carrying the future King of England Prince William in her womb. She was battling the crushing fatigue of the first trimester, all while navigating a life where her every blink was photographed and critiqued.
She hadn't announced the pregnancy yet. She was suffering in silence, trying to hold up the weight of the monarchy while her body was demanding rest.
That photograph didn't show a failure of duty. It showed the limitations of being human.
In the rigid environment of the palace, where emotions were suppressed and appearances were everything, Diana’s moment of sleep was accidentally revolutionary. It peeled back the curtain.
It showed the world that beneath the tiara and the designer gown was just a young woman, tired and overwhelmed, doing her best to adjust to a life that allowed for no errors.
That moment marked the beginning of her legacy as the "People's Princess."
While the institution wanted a statue, the public fell in love with the human. They saw themselves in her exhaustion. They saw the reality of motherhood clashing with the fantasy of royalty.
The child she was carrying would grow up to be a man who prioritized mental health and openness traits he inherited from the mother who couldn't stay awake at a museum.
Diana taught us that perfection is a myth.
The crown is heavy. But the woman wearing it was always stronger than the gold.
My 12-year-old depends on me financially.
Spends everything I earn.
Credit card maxed out. 🤷♂️
Now she wants to build a high-speed railway 🚂 from her bedroom to the kitchen.
She’s said she’s going to pay her friends to build it to save money, and there’s a good chance she’ll get some of that money back off her friends, but she will probably keep that to herself.
I said we can’t afford it, and even though the idea is nice there’s five of us living in the house and she’s the only one who’ll be able to use it.
So even though I said “no” she’s going to the bank 🏦 , borrowing in my name, and telling me I’ll have to pay it off later.
And apparently I don’t get a say.
Sound familiar?

@tlar @fourthjames83 @mobinfiltrator Okay listen dude lol guy is a fool but you believing alberta is actually going to be separated from canada is even dumber. Like I know some of you want it and I do actually understand the want... but its literally never going to happen. Quebec has been trying for as long as time.
i genuinely have no desire to be rich so i can buy a rolex or a Lamborghini.
i want to be rich so i can control my time and go to the gym at 3pm on a monday.
sit at a cafe and relax for an hour on a rainy afternoon.
so i can cook meals at home with fresh ingredients.
spend on my family and friends without worrying about a budget.
that's my idea of a rich life, not the fake consumerist idea shoved down my throat.
Both sides do it. Now its legal. A+. Politics is gross.
🚨🚨🚨TIME FOR A VERY IMPORTANT REMINDER🚨🚨🚨
DID YOU KNOW?
Trudeau made it 100% LEGAL for the media to lie to you.
LET ME REPEAT THAT: The media can LEGALLY lie to your face.
THE LIBERALS USE THE MEDIA TO MANIPULATE YOUR THOUGHTS THROUGH WELL CRAFTED & REPETITIVE SCRIPTS - AND THE CBC IS THE BIGGEST LIAR OF THEM ALL.
Propaganda is 100% paid for and 100% pushed by all major media outlets - without fear of prosecution.
There is NO credibility, NO accountability, and NO liability - just grants, bailouts, and budget line items.
BELIEVE *NOTHING* YOU HEAR FROM THE MSM ABOUT MARK CARNEY & THE GOVERNMENT - IT'S ALL LIES.

I hate Black History Month.
Not because I'm racist, but because of how it's framed.
Instead of celebrating Black people who displayed exceptional excellence, courage, and honor, Black History Month is presented through a victimhood lens.
George Floyd, Michael Brown, and many others killed by police while committing crimes are household names.
But almost no one knows Medal of Honor recipient Alwyn Cashe or Dr. Ronald McNair.
Both died in service to our country, yet their names are rarely mentioned in mainstream discourse.
Sergeant First Class Alwyn Cashe succumbed to his injuries after saving fellow soldiers, braving flames and mortal wounds to rescue as many as he could. He suffered second- and third-degree burns over 72% of his body while saving six of his brothers.
Dr. Ronald McNair, a brilliant physicist who earned his PhD from MIT before DEI and affirmative action, became nationally recognized for his work in laser physics. He was also an avid martial artist, earning a fifth-degree black belt in karate and winning many regional championships. He tragically died when the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded.
So many other Black individuals have demonstrated exceptional merit, talent, and honor, yet most people have never heard of them.
Instead, we are constantly bombarded with the names of George Floyd and other career criminals... as if we should honor drug addicts who pointed guns at pregnant women.... while ignoring Black people who sacrificed themselves for the greater good.
This is why I hate Black History Month.
It doesn't celebrate excellence; it perpetuates a victimhood mentality that keeps so many trapped in a "crab in a pot" mindset.
We don't celebrate others like Thomas Sowell, an economist and author who rose from Harlem poverty to challenge dependency narratives, arguing self-reliance over government intervention drives progress,
or Clarence Thomas, who came from rural Georgia segregation to Supreme Court Justice, embodying merit through sheer grit.
Others like Bass Reeves,
one of the first Black U.S. deputy marshals in the 1800s, who captured over 3,000 outlaws in the Wild West with legendary marksmanship and disguise skills,
or Katherine Johnson, a NASA mathematician whose calculations were crucial for the Apollo missions, proving intellectual prowess in a segregated field.
Then all the liberal white people love to self-flagellate and prostrate themselves in the face of the history of slavery. It's more virtue-signaling that reinforces dependency narratives rather than celebrating Black agency and excellence. It's the "oppression Olympics" that keeps everyone trapped in resentment instead of moving toward a better tomorrow.
it is women, not men, who keep women safe. women go to public toilets in groups; we text each other locations; we turn to one another when men hurt us; whether consciously or subconsciously we often rely on other women to keep us safe from men. patriarchy’s rally of “men keep women safe” is nothing more than a way to avoid accountability on who presents danger to women in the first place
Tonight at Walmart, I watched a 5 year old boy ask a little girl if he could hug her because he liked her sweater.
She said, "No."
He smiled, "Okay! I like your sweater. Bye!" and ran back to his dad.
To his dad, he proudly said:
"I didn't hug her because she said no... but I told her I liked her sweater!"
His dad replied, "Cool, buddy!"
'...and they
went on shopping.
If a 5-year-old boy can understand consent and respect a "No," then so can every adult.
"Our survival is not your accomplishment"
Mr. Carney,
You stood at a podium yesterday and told Canadians that this country thrives because we are Canadian.
It was a beautiful line. Polished. Applause ready. It was also insulting.
Because it confuses thriving with surviving, and only someone who has never had to do either could make that mistake so confidently.
Canadians do not thrive the way you describe.
We endure. We adapt. We make do. We get through.
We get up early not because it is inspiring, but because bills do not care about speeches. We work late not because it is fulfilling, but because standing still is not an option. We shovel our own driveways because help is expensive, unreliable, or nonexistent, and we still show up on time.
That is not thriving, Mr. Carney. That is survival with dignity.
We survive when systems fail. We adjust when costs rise. We absorb broken promises and carry on anyway. There is no applause line for that, because survival does not photograph well.
We survive because farmers plant knowing Ottawa might change the rules halfway through the season. Because tradespeople build while being taxed, regulated, and lectured by people who have never risked payroll on a slow month. Because parents budget groceries like a tactical exercise and still manage to raise decent kids without permission from a federal narrative.
We survive because Canadians are practical. When something breaks, we fix it ourselves. Not because we want to, but because waiting for government help usually means waiting forever. Or being told the service exists on paper.
You speak of thriving while Canadians quietly ask which services you are referring to.
Healthcare that exists in theory. Housing plans that never house anyone. Affordability programs that arrive long after the damage is done.
We survive because communities step in when institutions step back. Not because systems are strong, but because neighbours are. We rely on each other because experience has taught us not to rely on governments that measure success by how well they explain failure.
We survive because small businesses stayed open through lockdowns, fines, shortages, and paperwork that multiplied faster than revenue. Because families absorbed inflation while being told it was temporary. Because seniors adapted quietly to shrinking purchasing power while politicians assured them relief was coming.
You call this thriving.
Canadians call it getting through.
We survive because we know how to get through winters. Literal ones and political ones. We stock up. We brace ourselves. We do not expect rescue, especially from people who have never had to wait for it.
We survive because we question authority. Just ask the Freedom Convoy. Canadians have an instinctive allergy to being ordered around by people who exempt themselves from the consequences. We remember what happens when compliance is mistaken for unity.
We survive because we do not confuse slogans with reality, no matter how high the elbows go or how loudly we are told to clap. We know the difference between leadership and performance. Between patriotism and appropriation.
And while governments waste money, restrict rights, censor speech, divide citizens, and congratulate themselves, Canadians quietly keep the country functioning anyway.
That is not thriving. That is resilience under pressure.
So when you tell Canadians they thrive because they are Canadian, it lands differently on those of us who have actually lived it.
Because confusing survival with thriving is easy if you have never had to survive.
And that is the problem.
Mark Carney speaks of thriving from a life buffered by boards, institutions, and global forums. A life spent above the consequences does not teach you the difference between getting ahead and just getting through.
Those who have never had to survive often mistake endurance for success, and then try to take credit for it.
So no, Mr. Carney.
Canadians are not thriving because of you.
We are surviving despite a government that made life harder, more expensive, more divided, and then attempted to dress our endurance up as its achievement.
Our resilience is not your accomplishment.
It is proof of a people who carried each other while being lectured by someone who does not recognize the difference.
And Canadians are done applauding the performance.
My advice to you Mr. Carney?
Before defining Canadians, try surviving as one.
As always,
Melanie in Saskatchewan

"I cant afford to pay you more"
Well I hope you can afford to lose me then. 🤷🏽♀️
2021: No salary increase
2022: No salary increase
2023: No salary increase
2024: No salary increase
2025: No salary increase
2026:
Employee: “Kindly accept my resignation.”
Boss: “But you’re doing such a great job! Why are you leaving?”
Employee: “I’ve received a new job offer with a 65% salary increase, and there’s also a guaranteed annual raise based on performance.”
48 hours later…
Boss: “We’ll also give you a 95% raise—just don’t leave!”
Employee: “Sorry, it’s too late now.”
Lesson for Leaders:
Employees don’t leave only because of money—they leave when they feel undervalued or unappreciated.
Retaining good employees isn’t just about increasing their pay; it requires recognition, growth opportunities, and proactive leadership.
Take care of your best employees— before they decide to leave you.
@ArtieDwinger @TimRichmondFan1 @RealMattA_ You do realize that the "majority" you're speaking of.. was on the side of the freedom convoy, right? This post directly demonstrates how much the federally funded/backed news organizations lied to the public to try to make the crowds seem smaller and more violent.. they werent.
Women often fawn to survive men. Just to move out of their reach safely. Like a woman smiling (visibly uncomfortable) when you are creeping her out but she doesn't want to get punched, shot or stabbed.
She isn't flirting, she isn't leading you on, she is trying to SURVIVE this encounter. YOU put her in this position.
TONIGHT'S CONVO WITH MY CHILD.
My daughter: "I need you to take me to school tomorrow, mom."
Me: "Why?"
(Her car is in the shop for an accident. Starting today..not her fault..dog jumped in front of her.)
Her: "Duh. My car is in the shop."
Me: "derp." You have a driver's license. Take my Expedition..
Her: "Mom, I am not driving your mom car to school. Only work. I can't park it. It's too big. Dad's truck is too long."
Me: "I can take you, but I want to know where all your friends are that you were giving rides to for the last two years and feeding them breakfast are?"
Her: " I was told now that our house it out of the way. It's an inconvenience to pick me up. But I could pick them up because it was on the way to school."
(We are a few minutes out of town, but that's not the point. Cady was driving them everywhere.)
Me: "Ok. We ride at dawn. FIND NEW FRIENDS. I DON'T LIKE USERS."
You're only good as your next deed.
Moral of the story: I hate users.
What is the solution to this? All Canadians under a certain income utilize food banks? MAiD? KD for life?
@MarkJCarney said to judge his government based on groceries prices.
Consider yourself judged Mark, you failed Canada in epic proportions.
Resign.
