@KnightLegg Nothing has been replaced yet. I am open to be convinced otherwise with real action and activity. To date, all we have heard is talk... lots of it, and much contradiction to Carney's documented positions. Nothing has been built under this PM, let alone started.

@ShannonBDouglas Question: did you read the text of the Proclamation or read what people said about it? In my view, most of what is written about the Proclamation is wrong and one is best served to read the actual text including that in context of the Quebec Act 1774.

[Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius]

Have you noticed that the community that is most vocal in warning about the Islamification of the USA is the GWOT veterans’ community?

That’s because we saw things with our own eyes that are hard for others to believe:

1. The treatment of women as chattel property. Goats are treated better than daughters—no exaggeration.
2. Widespread pedophilia and bestiality while at the same time people we call “LGBTQ+” in the West are subject to barbaric methods of execution.
3. An absolute lack of freedom of religion.
4. Wanton disregard for human life.
5. Insanely paranoid antisemitism straight out of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
6. Wholly corrupt governments; bribery as a uniform standard.
7. Tribalism to an extreme: tribe trumps truth and justice, always.
8. In the Gulf Arab countries, “Third Country Nationals” from poor Muslim countries engaged in menial labor and literally treated as slaves.
9. Absolute confidence that Islam will violently conquer the rest of the world, and a belief that this is just and proper.
10. Acceptance of the idea that lying can be and is necessary and proper.

These are not one-off observations; these are widespread norms that are easily observed and experienced in day-to-day life in any nation that accepts Sharia law. ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE COMMONPLACE. Having seen this stuff up close and personal across the entire Middle East, Central Asia and the Horn of Africa, American veterans have unwittingly become like the prophets of old, warning everyone else of the dangers we have seen that we never wish to see come ashore in America.

Yet somehow our voices are not being heard sufficiently, and we now see literal Communists wishing to import these evil practices to the USA en masse, as a path to their own power.

Guess what Commies? It’s the other way around, you are the ones being used and when the Green forces dispose of you Red forces, it’s not going to be pretty.

Wise up.

@JAdiaheno @MPelletierCIO The man is a world class tit, who set Canada on a massively destructive course. My contempt for the Canadian voter is thick. Anyone that finds this chapter as a positive is tremendously delusional.

[Michael A. Arouet @MichaelAArouet]

High taxes don’t soak the rich. They exile them.

Founders, builders, and risk-takers don’t stay to be punished. They leave. Capital follows. Startups aren’t born. Jobs never appear. Growth stalls.

Politicians then raise rates on the middle class, who can’t leave, to cover the hole.

That’s the real left tax policy: chase away those who create the surplus, then bill everyone else for the shortage.

You don’t get prosperity by making success expensive. You get stagnation, emigration, and a smaller pie more people have to fund.

Don’t listen to the left populists screaming “tax the rich” if you don’t want to be taxed more.

@RobShaw_BC @Conservative_BC @PeterMilobar @IanPatonDelta @a_warbus @BruceBanman @RobShaw_BC kindly ask them how much of B.C. this new party wants to transfer to indigenous groups. Also how much money and government decision making?

Like are we talking 80%? 60%?

[Desmond O'Kell @desokell]

Tim, this situation within the BC Conservatives is becoming untenable. Surely, the overriding objective for everyone involved must be defeating the NDP. Efforts to change horses in the middle ofbthe stream only create further division and do nothing to strengthen the prospects of a Conservative victory.

Worse still, allowing this internal turmoil to continue leaves the party dangerously exposed should Eby decide to call an election while the Conservatives are consumed by internal conflict. Creating that kind of vulnerability at precisely the wrong moment makes absolutely no strategic sense.

@GasPriceWizard I think the US should still do their investigation into GFANZ and expose them all. And they should, as always, FOLLOW THE MONEY.

[Melanie In Saskatchewan @saskatchewan_in]

I’m supposed to perform the obligatory little ritual now and pretend both versions of this trade debacle deserve equal credibility.

I don’t... I believe the Americans.

Not because they’re American. Not because politicians suddenly became trustworthy. And certainly not because Donald Trump has been canonized.

I believe them because the American account increasingly makes more sense.

Greer, Lutnick and Bessent have spoken openly and specifically about what happened. Their accounts have been remarkably consistent. They can discuss the negotiations like people who were actually involved in them, without appearing terrified that an unsupervised adjective might escape and without a teleprompter.

Meanwhile, what do Canadians get from our own government?

Carefully sterilized language. Vague explanations. Missing specifics. Scripted talking points. Every sentence apparently passed through enough communications people and lawyers to remove any detectable trace of information.

We’re being kept in the dark like bloody mushrooms while learning more about Canada’s own trade negotiations from American officials and American media than from the Canadian government supposedly representing us.

And somehow we’re not supposed to notice how politically convenient the Canadian version is.

We got:
👉🏻 Trump was unreasonable.
👉🏻 Trump changed the deal.
👉🏻 Trump threatened our sovereignty.
👉🏻 Trump forced Canada to walk away.

Trump. Trump. Trump.

Just keep Canadians sufficiently pissed off at Donald Trump and perhaps nobody asks the considerably more inconvenient question:

❓️ What exactly did Mark Carney walk away from, and why?

Because after the Gordie Howe Bridge fiasco, I’m fresh out of complimentary benefit of the doubt.

And here’s the part that absolutely reeks, discrediting any appearance of truth told by the liar in chief #MarkCarney...

If Carney possesses documentary evidence proving Trump suddenly dumped outrageous, unacceptable demands onto Canada at the eleventh hour, where the hell is it?

Seriously.

Think about what that evidence would be worth politically.

IF Carney had a piece of paper proving Donald Trump screwed Canada, blindsided our negotiators and forced our heroic prime minister to stand up, pound the table and walk away, the Liberal machine wouldn’t quietly tuck that document into a filing cabinet.

Are you kidding me?

▪︎ They’d wallpaper Ottawa with the damn thing.

▪︎ They’d hold press conferences about it.

▪︎ They’d wave it around in Parliament.

▪︎ They’d quote it in fundraising emails.

▪︎ They’d buy ads with it.

Every friendly pundit in the country would have a laminated copy by breakfast. CBC would probably commission a twelve-part documentary and an interpretive dance.

It would be political rocket fuel.
Carney could point directly at the evidence and say, See? I stood up to Trump.

And considering how desperately this government wants Canadians angry at Trump, they would squeeze every last political drop out of it.

Instead, we get:

- Words.
- Trust us.
- Trump did it.
- Don't worry about the details.
- Just keep your elbows up and direct your anger toward the orange man south of the border.

How extraordinarily convenient.

And while Canada spends years shrieking about foreign interference, demanding security clearances for opposition leaders and warning us about other countries trying to influence Canadian politics, Canadian politicians seem remarkably comfortable inserting themselves into American partisan politics.

Apparently foreign political influence is a mortal threat to democracy when it crosses the border heading north.

Heading south?
Nothing to see here, carry on.
So enough of the carefully packaged Liberal bullshit.

Release the negotiating documents.

• Show Canadians the American demands.
• Show us Canada's demands.
• Show us what changed.
• Show us when it changed.
• Show us exactly what was sitting on that table when Canada walked away.

Because if those documents prove Carney's story, his government has every political incentive imaginable to release them, and its quite odd that they haven't.

Their continued absence doesn't prove he's lying, but it sure does suggest it!

And considering the Americans are providing details while our own government feeds us verbal oatmeal, it sure as hell gives Canadians a reason to stop swallowing everything we're spoon-fed.

Mark Carney isn't an oracle. He isn't our father. And Canadians aren't intellectually deficient children who need the PMO to decide which facts we're mature enough to see.

Stop telling us whom to hate.
Show us what happened.
Then we'll decide for ourselves who is full of shit.
