@richardzussman I would like to be able to see my son go into school each morning without a mask on, so that I can once again see his smile as he waves goodbye, and so that I can once again know he can see the faces of his friends and teachers.
It saddnes me that I even have to say this.
@jonkay@TheRealKeean You were gung ho about the many idiotic Covid rules, so seeing someone masked should give you immediate warm fuzzies.
We remember those who used their brains during Covid and those who didn't.
I am in Ottawa for some very serious meetings. Thankfully, there are enough free tampons in the menβs washroom to get me through the next few days.
Thank you Canadian taxpayers
There's an entire Immigration Canada webpage full of graphs that look like this. They ALL start in 2024, when every immigration stream was blown out to record highs. This is then used to misrepresent our current levels (which are still crazy high, but not 2024 high).
@FermiLevels As that construction gets up each morning at 6 am in the cold and dark knowing he is going to work hard for 8 hours so he can pay his tax so our First Nations can bolster emergency preparedness.
Makes you feel so good doesnβt it?
@FermiLevels They aren't burning it.
They are EMBEZZLING IT.
No first nations, outside of a handful of the most corrupt chiefs will ever see a dime of this money.
Among 32 high-income countries with universal health care, Canada is second in spending, but 26th in beds, 28th in MRI units, and CT scanners, and 30th in doctors.
π¨π¦ Canada has a strange economy.
Your house is worth a fortune, but your salary canβt afford one.
Your government collects more taxes, but somehow runs bigger deficits.
Your population grows, but living standards struggle to keep up.
Your bank reports billions in profits, while Canadians struggle with mortgage payments.
Politicians celebrate GDP growth while ordinary Canadians wonder why theyβre getting poorer.
Canada doesnβt have a shortage of wealth.
It has a growing problem turning economic activity into prosperity for ordinary Canadians.
And thatβs the number Ottawa doesnβt like discussing.

Like many of us have been warning for a while now and itβs just been confirmed The EU will impose carbon tariffs on almost $3 billion dollars worth of goods.
And you know that Carney was onboard and a very big part of this plan.
He has spoken about CBAM before.
This will affect many high βcarbonβ producing industries in Canada like steel and other metal producing industries that want to trade with the EU.
Itβs diabolical, sit on your hands and not make a deal with the US who has zero carbon tax, and then run to the EU and force companies to pay one.
A user on X has filed a police report against Green Party leader Emily Lowan for her hateful comments towards Conservatives on election night
She said Conservatives should not even exist
Do you think the Sannich police will take this complaint seriously?
Hold on a second. Canadians have been told, for months, that a key tenet in the Prime Minister's whole trade strategy is "walk away from Washington, pivot to Europe". Now we find out his own officials told him in December 2025 that the pivot runs straight into a wall?
The EU's carbon tariff hits Canadian steel, iron and aluminum, the same metals already hit by U.S. tariffs. And even though, with great fanfare, the Prime Minister is forging ahead with some kind of "associate membership" for Canada in the EU, an exemption is "not currently possible." In other words, he sat on that detail for 10 months, until an access to information request forced it out days before he hosts the Canada-EU Summit.
So the plan is: turn down the August terms that were agreed then disagreed to in three days with the U.S., tell workers Europe is the answer, and quietly know Europe is putting up its own border charge. According to the @CBCNews report, that charge is close to $900M a year in exposure in Newfoundland and Labrador, $792M in Quebec, and adds up to $150 more per tonne of steel by 2034.
And recall that he weakened the carbon price in his Alberta deal while knowing that, with it, he made an EU exemption even harder to get.
What kind of diversification is it if you're trading one tariff wall for two and hoping nobody reads the memo?
