Freaking unbelievable - PM Carney is bailing out developers with your money

Mark Carney just announced a de facto bailout for Vancouver-area developers.
With 2,500 finished but unsold condos sitting empty in Metro Vancouver alone, Carney and BC NDP Premier David Eby plan to use taxpayer dollars and “innovative financing” to buy and convert them into “affordable housing.”
Developers don’t want to sell at a loss and can’t hold them forever — taxpayers foot the bill so that the federal Liberals and BC NDP are stepping in to rescue them instead of letting the market correct prices downward.

I want to introduce you to Steve. He’s 83. His wife died a few months ago and he comes to this lodge in Spring Mill, Indiana and draws. He taught art in Terre Haute, IN his whole life. He also did courtroom sketches in court cases. In the comments I’ll share some pics from his sketchbook. He was excited when I said I was going to share his sketches with the world.

The Canadian public has been told this agreement exists.  But we have not been told what it actually says — because the RCMP has stated it will not release the document without Beijing’s permission.
That is not how a democracy operates. Canadians do not need a foreign government’s consent to know what their own police force has agreed to.
We call on the Government of Canada to release all details of the RCMP–Ministry of Public Security MOU to Parliament and the Canadian public immediately.
This agreement was not signed in a vacuum. It was signed against a backdrop of sustained, documented, and escalating interference by the People’s Republic of China against Canada and Canadians.

@wealthmoose Hi

[The Food Professor @FoodProfessor]

At the start of the Ukraine war (2022), Canada’s carbon price was $40/tonne.

On April 1 2026, it reaches $110/tonne — more than double.

For a truck hauling food Toronto–Montreal weekly, that’s roughly $6,000 more per year vs 2018.

And that doesn’t include higher fuel prices themselves from global shocks like Ukraine or Iran.

BREAKING: A website was just launched that holds Mark Carney accountable. 

It's the most robust, fully sourced record of:��

-Flip Flops
-Broken Promises  
-Cover Ups  
-Counterfeit Conservative Policies

And so much more. 

Liberals are going to hate it if you share it.

Like I've said many times...by every measure that really matters, Canadians are worse off now than they were in 2014.

The Liberals have set us back 20 years.

What’s most striking about the graph below is that the Liberals, despite presiding over Canada’s lost economic decade, remain viable contenders in the next election.

It underscores a troubling decline in economic literacy across the country.

The Cost of Retaliation: Canada’s Trade War Misstep

"Canada cannot win a trade war by taxing its own people—true leverage comes from targeting American reliance on our exports, not undermining our own food security and economy."

The trade war between us and the American is no longer just academic. It’s real, and Canada is at the center of one. In response to escalating tariffs from the United States, Canada has chosen to retaliate. While standing up to protectionist policies is necessary, the Federal Government’s approach could ultimately harm Canadian consumers far more than it impacts American interests.

Placing tariffs and taxes on food and essential goods that Canadians rely on is not just a poor economic decision—it is a direct attack on our own food security. It is impossible to win a trade war against the United States, the most powerful economy in the world, and the strategy of imposing retaliatory tariffs will likely yield more tariffs in response. The end result? A prolonged economic downturn that will hit Canadians the hardest.

The reality is that these tariffs act as a tax on Canadian consumers. Every additional cost imposed on imported goods translates into higher prices at the grocery store, increased costs for businesses, and a greater financial strain on households. The government may attempt to justify this as necessary pushback against U.S. trade policies, but the truth is simple: Washington will not bear the brunt of this burden—Ottawa’s own citizens will.

The federal government’s strategy not only risks exacerbating inflation but could also tip Canada into recession. As disposable incomes shrink and household budgets tighten, consumer spending—a major driver of economic growth—will decline. Instead of punishing American trade aggressors, Canada is punishing itself.

A more effective response would be to shift the burden onto U.S. consumers by implementing taxes on Canadian exports such as potash, beef, pork grains, and canola oil—commodities that the U.S. heavily relies on. This strategy would maintain leverage over the American market while avoiding unnecessary harm to Canadian households. Instead, Ottawa has chosen to disguise this tax grab as a patriotic countermeasure against the U.S., misleading Canadians into believing that it will make a difference. The government not only collects revenue through the tariffs themselves but also benefits from the additional 5% GST on these higher-priced goods. This is not sound economic policy—it is an economic miscalculation.

At a time when food affordability is already a pressing issue, Canadian policymakers should be seeking ways to support consumers, not further strain them. Provinces and citizens alike must recognize that better tools exist to navigate trade disputes, ones that do not come at the cost of food security and economic stability.

With a new leader set to take charge in Canada within days, the future of these policies remains uncertain. However, one thing is clear: continuing down this path will only lead to greater hardship for Canadian families. It is time for a change in strategy—one that protects Canada’s interests without inflicting unnecessary pain on its own people.

Keeping track: 986 days since the release of @dave_eby pet project, the #CullenCommission report on the money laundering public inquiry.

Recommendation No. 1: hire an anti-money laundering czar.

Still hasn't happened.

Canadians are being denied an election because the Liberals refuse to let one be called. They shut down Parliament so one couldn’t be called. We are supposedly in a huge crisis right now but that’s not enough to resume Parliament because guess what? They are afraid an election will be called. They are campaigning right now, not for leadership, but for the general election. They are scum. If people don’t have a problem with what they are doing, you need to look at yourself in the mirror. No Government should ever do what they are doing. These are not good people.

[Sam Cooper @scoopercooper]

Veteran law enforcement officials—both active and retired—from the United States and Canada have come forward with explosive allegations suggesting that Canada’s federal government may have systematically obstructed investigations into the highest levels of Asian organized crime. According to these sources, American agencies, including the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, have grown so alarmed by suspected corruption and legal loopholes in Canada that they have effectively sidelined Canadian law enforcement from sensitive investigations and intelligence-sharing.

[John Thomson @JohnThomsonSK]

Dear MP’s of @OurCommons

If you agree that Canadians deserve to have their voices heard and that Parliament should be recalled, then here’s what you need to do.

Coordinate a day to travel to Ottawa, sit in your seats in the House of Commons, and put a piece of tape over your mouth, and protest the prorogation in silence for 2hrs.

Do that once a day, everyday until the House reconvenes.

Each day put the name of a different community from your riding on your desk to highlight just who it is the govt is ignoring and silencing.

Take pictures of the empty seats opposite you and share with the message to recall parliament.
