A guy was ready to drop $1,500 on a new OLED TV because his 3-year-old Smart TV was freezing up and took 5 seconds just to respond to the remote.
He unplugged it. Deleted old apps. Cleared the cache. The lag kept coming back.
He went to Best Buy to get a replacement.
The home theater installer in the blue shirt stopped him: "Before you spend a grand, let me show you something."
He grabbed a remote and shook his head.
"There are 8 hidden tracking settings throttling your TV's processor right now. Manufacturers turn them all on by default. Nobody tells you they exist. Let's fix this."
Here's what he showed him in the next 8 minutes. 🧵
A lot of people in these comments are throwing insults for saying Carney wasn't elected.
None of them have pointed out a single fact that's wrong.
So let me be very clear.
I never said it was illegal. I never said that he was the first to become Prime Minister without being an MP.
I said he was “the first Prime Minister in Canadian history to have never been elected to public office”.
And the bigger picture is the part nobody in the comments wants to touch 👇
The Carney government was about to fall.
All three opposition parties — Conservatives, NDP, Bloc — said they'd vote non-confidence.
Conservatives had a 24-point lead 📉
The government was done.
So Trudeau prorogued Parliament. Shut it down. Suspended democracy so the confidence vote couldn't happen.
CBC confirmed it: "the Liberals will avoid a confidence vote."
Then during that suspension, 0.38% of Canadians chose Carney as Liberal leader.
Then Trudeau — the man they had no confidence in — advised the GG to appoint Carney as PM 👑
Same party. Same government. Same Salesman.
You cannot claim he had the confidence of Parliament when they suspended Parliament specifically to avoid testing it.
And since then? He has fooled this country at every turn 👇
📄 Said he'd "axe the tax." Scrapped the one you could see. Kept the hidden one — 7¢/litre. Zero rebates. Industrial carbon tax still climbing to $170/tonne.
📄 Said he'd fix the $390M slush fund. "Replaced" it with a $5B version. Same minister. Bigger budget.
📄 His ethics screen covers 5% of Brookfield. The Ethics Commissioner said under oath his future pay is tied to Brookfield's success.
📄 Said he'd stand up to China. Flew to Beijing. Dropped EV tariffs from 100% to 6.1%. Slave labour imports from Xinjiang grew from $59M to $601M. Canada blocked 2 shipments. The US blocked over 1,000.
📄 Campaigned on 380,000 immigrants. Real number is 765,000+. The UN called the program "a breeding ground for contemporary forms of slavery."
📄 $35.8M in taxpayer money went to companies his wife advises.
📄 Appointed a BlackRock executive to run international trade. BlackRock and Brookfield are co-investors.
📄 5 MPs crossed the floor with no by-elections. 74% of Canadians across ALL parties say that's wrong.
📄 Now he's personally choosing the next Governor General — the person who signs his laws into effect. No vote. No public input.
This is what you're defending.
Read that list again. Slowly.
Then tell me which one is wrong. I'll correct it publicly.
And this is just what fit in one post.
The pinned post on my profile has the full picture. Every thread. Every source. Every dollar traced.
Then come back and tell me why you're still defending him.
Call me what you want. The facts don’t care 🇨🇦

RE: the kerfuffle over it being asserted that Alabama's GDP exceeds Canada as a nation.
Unfortunately, for them, the extent of the truth hurts even more than this single-state comparison.
The fact is that every single US state (save for Mississippi, coming in at $53,061) exceeds Canada's projected 2025 GDP per capita of $54,935. Better yet, there isn't a single US state that exceeds them in population*.
*There are 41.6 million Canadian citizens compared to our largest states that clock in at 39.4 million (California), 31.7 million (Texas), and 23.5 million (Florida).
All told, if Canada was our 51 state, it would represent the most populated state in the US, but only come in slightly ahead of our poorest (Mississippi). To put that in perspective, Canada would therefore represent the 50th poorest of our 51 states in relation to GDP.
Chew on that for a hot minute.
After a decade of mocking common sense, Liberals suddenly "discover it" and expect applause for the revelation.🤦🏼♀️
THE STORY LIBERALS DON'T WANT TOLD
Gather round, people. Pull up a chair, and let me tell you a little Canadian bedtime story.
Once upon a time, not so long ago, Canada was governed by emotions with cabinet portfolios and group hugs mandated under DEI policies.
For ten full years we were ruled by a philosophy that treated common sense like a contagious disease and symbolism like a national economic strategy.
Conservatives spent that decade pointing out, again and again, that running a G7 country on feelings instead of facts is about as smart as trying to plow a field with a canoe.
We said budgets don’t balance themselves.
We said energy policy should involve actual energy.
We said debt matters.
We said lecturing farmers about climate change while flying around the world like a carbon-powered lawn dart might be a touch hypocritical.
For this we were mocked.
If you questioned Justin Trudeau, you were a racist.
If you worried about deficits, you were heartless.
If you mentioned pipelines, you were a climate criminal.
If you asked why biological men were suddenly dominating women’s sports, you were handed a pamphlet and a lecture.
Every policy came wrapped in virtue signalling thick enough to require a blow torch.
And Conservatives were ridiculed for suggesting government should be run with a little less interpretive drama and a little more arithmetic.
Fast forward to today.
Enter Mark Carney. The “New Government.” The bold new era.
And suddenly?
The emotional lens has been quietly stuffed in a drawer like an embarrassing pair of platform shoes from the 1970s.
Carney drops the DEI sermonizing.
He suddenly talks about productivity.
He flirts with the language of economic reality while keeping one eye firmly glued to the climate rulebook.
He discovers trade deals should involve actual trade instead of warm hugs and progressive poetry.
It’s almost as if he wandered into a Liberal back room, flipped on the lights and whispered, “Okay everyone, the adults are home.”
So Conservatives do the obvious thing.
We point out the hypocrisy.
For ten years you called us monsters for wanting exactly this.
For ten years you told us governing with common sense was practically fascism.
For ten years you treated basic economic reality like a right-wing conspiracy theory.
And now that Mark Carney is suddenly doing many of the things we argued for, we get told:
“So get over it. Quit whining." "Your speculation and innuendo are insufferable." "Carney is doing the job of a great leader, so shut up.” and yes, even a few "Who cares?'
Right. Because apparently noticing contradictions is now considered a hate crime.
Here’s the question nobody on the Liberal side seems eager to answer: have they even noticed the abrupt costume change? One day leadership meant virtue signalling like it was a shared national identity. The next day it means quietly dusting off chunks of the Conservative platform, slapping a red logo on it, and presenting it as bold new thinking. The whole act resembles a magician lifting your wallet and then asking for a standing ovation when he heroically “finds” it again.
Such is the circle of Liberal life.
We spent a decade being ridiculed for saying government should be practical instead of emotional. Now we’re being ridiculed for noticing that Liberals have quietly stolen our homework and put their own name on it.
Imagine someone mocking you for several years for using a snowblower, insisting only shovels are morally superior, then one day showing up with your exact snowblower, painted red, proudly claiming they invented winter. If you dare to point out the truth, it's called a personal attack.
Which brings us to China.
For years Conservatives warned that getting cozy with Beijing was a terrible idea. We were called paranoid conspiracy theorists who needed to relax and enjoy the dumplings.
Then reality arrived like a frozen turkey through a plate-glass window.
We got the arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou.
We got the retaliatory imprisonment of the Two Michaels.
We got allegations of Chinese police stations operating on Canadian soil.
We got CSIS warnings about election interference.
We got televised briefings from Canada’s top intelligence officials calmly explaining that foreign governments are actively messing with our democracy.
And STILL we have no foreign agent registry!
Apparently that particular national security tool is trapped in the same bureaucratic black hole as affordable housing and balanced budgets.
Conservatives pointed to all of this and said, “Maybe we should rethink our relationship with Beijing.”
For that we were mocked as hysterical.
Meanwhile, independent journalist Andy Lee on X kept digging where others wouldn’t. She connected dots, chased documents, and was the one who recently broke the story that the two scientists escorted out of Canada’s National Microbiology Lab are now reportedly living in China under assumed names, a plot twist so absurd it sounds like a rejected spy novel!
She waved the receipts around like a maître d’ at a busy restaurant, and still Ottawa acted as though nothing unusual was happening.
Fast forward again.
Carney jets off to China with great fanfare and will return home with “agreements” that feel less like ironclad deals and more like the sort of handshake you get from a used-car salesman named Fat Tony.
And when Conservatives point out that cozying up to a regime flagged by CSIS as a top national security threat might not be brilliant timing, we are told to calm down and stop being negative.
Apparently memory loss is now a requirement for citizenship.
And the comedy doesn’t stop there.
Carney and his inner circle keep calling themselves the “New Government.”
New! Fresh! Bold!
Except for Mélanie Joly, who spent years lecturing Canadians like a substitute teacher with a caffeine problem.
And Marc Miller, who never met a border policy he couldn’t botch.
And Anita Anand, who presided over procurement like it was a yard sale with no price tags or receipts.
And Steven MacKinnon, who discovered the mute button only after a decade of shouting at anyone who disagreed.
And Steven Guilbeault, who went from climbing buildings to climbing onto every available moral high horse.
Then you’ve got the supporting cast.
° Sean Fraser, architect of Canada’s population-growth experiment, who treated immigration targets like a Vegas buffet with no closing time.
° François-Philippe Champagne, the puffy-chested Peacock declaring in full Napoleonic splendour, “We will not take any lessons from Conservatives,” usually right before announcing another taxpayer-funded photo-op.
° Yves Duclos, the wooden Liberal who spent years presiding over Treasury Board decisions with the enthusiasm of a man reading the phone book at gunpoint.
° Mark Gerretsen, professional Twitter hall monitor and part-time Liberal attack dog.
° Ryan Turnbull, forever explaining to Canadians that their lived experiences are incorrect.
° Adam Van Koeverden, who paddled straight from the Olympics into the deep end of Liberal sanctimony without a life jacket.
°Bill Blair, whose fingerprints are all over enough public-safety fiascos to require their own filing cabinet.
And there are others lingering around the caucus fringe like inflamed angry hemorrhoids resistant to the powers of H.
Same people.
Same attitudes.
Same social-media swagger.
Same crowd that spent a decade mocking, scolding and sneering at ordinary Canadians for daring to question them.
Calling this a “New Government” amounts to repainting a rusty grain bin and insisting you’ve built a space station.
Watching Liberals defend it all reminds me of that scene in The Replacements.
The coach tells his linebacker, “Hit anything that moves, especially if it’s wearing a red shirt.”
The linebacker starts nodding. Slow at first. Then faster. Eyes bulging. Neck twitching. Head bobbing like a dashboard bobblehead on a Saskatchewan grid road in April. He works himself into a jittery frenzy, a Chihuahua vibrating with uncontained, egotistical rage because the neighbourhood squirrel mocks him outside the window every single day, and today just might be the day his last nerve finally snaps.
That is today’s Liberal reaction squad.
Only the order now is: “Attack anyone who notices hypocrisy!”
For ten years Conservatives were mocked for demanding common sense.
Now common sense is suddenly fashionable again, and we are mocked for pointing out who spent a decade trying to outlaw it.
We’re told to forget the lectures.
Forget the cancelled bank accounts.
Forget the sanctimony and the smug press conferences.
Forget the last decade.
Well, no.
We won’t forget.
Because this isn’t a minor contradiction. It’s a decade-long gaslighting campaign with a new haircut.
So when Liberals sneer “quit whining,” what they really mean is:
Please stop reminding us that we governed like a high-school drama club for ten years and suddenly want credit for discovering the calculator.
Sorry.
Not happening.
Canadians remember who told us two plus two equaled systemic oppression.
And we’re allowed to laugh when those same people suddenly announce they’ve bravely discovered the number four.
That isn’t whining.
That’s called paying attention.
And the show in Ottawa?
It’s getting more absurd by the day.

South Korea former President JAILED for enacting Martial Law unjustly.
Hmm
Justin Trudeau did the same thing with the Emergency Act, why is he not in Jail ?
https://t.co/lq1rmixKPq
Never forget what Mark Carney wrote about the Convoy:
“Those who are still helping to extend this occupation must be identified and punished to the full force of the law.
Drawing the line means choking off the money that financed this occupation
But by now anyone sending money to the convoy should be in no doubt: You are funding sedition.
Foreign funders of an insurrection interfered in our domestic affairs from the start.
Canadian authorities should take every step within the law to identify and thoroughly punish them.
Individuals must be held responsible for their lawlessness and those who financed their actions must be dissuaded from ever doing so again.”
Let me remind you all: Carney was an advisor to Trudeau during this time.
He publicly published this, on a left wing media outlet.
He egged on the Emergencies Act.
He did so, for political purposes, to shut down Conservatives.
The Emergencies Act, once called the War Measures Act, was invoked illegally.
Carney was wrong. The Liberals were wrong.
And they all get to walk away, unscathed, after destroying so many lives.
🚨The Court of Appeal has dismissed the appeal of Justice Mosley’s decision, confirming once again that invoking the Emergencies Act was unconstitutional.
That is a really big deal and the Court of Appeal was unequivocal:
“We have already found that Cabinet, on the evidence that was before it and on a proper interpretation of the Act, did not have reasonable grounds to believe that a threat to national security existed.”
On the evidence, as many of us said from the beginning, the legal threshold was never met. The federal government knew, or ought to have known, that this appeal was bound to fail. Yet it proceeded anyway, consuming years of time and significant public resources, while hoping the public would simply move on.
And it bears repeating: if anything truly went sideways in Ottawa, the primary failures were local. The City of Ottawa and the Ottawa Police Service grossly mismanaged the protest from the outset, creating conditions that escalated rather, and in doing so played directly into the federal government’s political narrative.
For years, peaceful protesters were disparaged and slandered, portrayed as dangerous and treasonous. Many were beaten, arrested, and jailed.
And we should also be honest about this: what does this say about those who accepted the government’s narrative without question, who repeated claims that have now been judicially rejected, and who looked the other way while fellow citizens were vilified and punished?
Now the responsibility shifts to us.
This confirms, once again, a profound democratic failure: extraordinary powers deployed unlawfully, Charter rights infringed, and citizens met with force instead of dialogue.
Accountability does not end with this judgment. It begins with it.
If governments can misuse emergency powers, disparage their own citizens instead of engaging with them, and then attempt to run out the clock through prolonged litigation, democratic accountability survives only if the public actively enforces it.
Let’s not fall for this trap again. Let’s stop before fear, propaganda, and politics are weaponized to turn Canadians against their neighbours, friends, and families—while those in power evade scrutiny and consequence.
We deserve better. But we must demand better.
Coastal First Nations, is a NGO.
They are similar to Green Peace.
They have no veto rights.
They are a not-for-profit, that has been funded by US billionaires.
So, why is our Prime Minister meeting with an activist group over lifting the tanker ban on the coast of BC? 🧐
Hi @Canada@MarkJCarney ! Let’s have a quick look into the future!
Today, @realDonaldTrump and the Americans just unlocked the largest oil resource on the planet by removing the narco terrorist from power and committing billions of dollars to rebuild their oil infrastructure.
This is incredibly bad for Canada’s economy. We’ve lost our largest trading partner. We have nothing left to offer them.
You’re worried about Alberta separation. I don’t see what other choice we have. We will negotiate our own deals with the United States, send pipelines directly south and then WEST to coastal Waters and unlock Alberta‘s economy.
What choice have you given Alberta by dragging your feet on creating a deal or at least negotiating? “WHO CARES” you said, Alberta sure does.
It looks a lot like separate or starve.
Damn I'd love to wake up in the morning knowing the U.S. just captured and arrested Mark Carney in the middle of the night. He's as big a criminal as Maduro.
🚨🤬 ABSOLUTE CATASTROPHE UNDER TRUDEAU/CARNEY LIBERALS! 😡
Conservative MP @MichelleRempel just dropped a BOMBSHELL: Nearly 5 MILLION people in Canada had expired or expiring temporary visas by the end of 2025!
4.9 MILLION to be exact – and the incompetent Liberals have ZERO PLAN to handle it!
At the pathetic current removal rate of around 20,000 per year, it would take OVER 200 YEARS to clear this backlog if everyone overstayed!
THIS IS AN INVASION BY NEGLECT!
She grilled the Immigration Minister on their strategy – and got NOTHING! No answer, no plan, just crickets from these clueless failures! 🤦♂️
Canada is being OVERWHELMED because of Liberal recklessness! Housing crisis? Wage suppression? Blame THIS mess!
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
MASS DEPORTATION NOW!!
