What was breakneck about it? Our economy shrank, or at best, flatlined, no building began, housing starts fell, dollar plummeted, no trade desks were signed sage for an inconsequential one with Indonesia, lots of stuff got re-announced, deficit ballooned, mortgage defaults went up, business investment fell, manufacturing was way down, no serious trade negotiations with the world’s largest economy and consumer market, household debt grew, unemployment went up, food bank use grew. I guess you could call all of that decline breakneck…
The reality, how it’s actually playing out in far too many cases, is exactly how many people warned it would. Patients who are not terminally ill, who are disabled, have chronic conditions, and yes, who are mentally ill are being coerced, their families are coerced, or in some cases, coerced MAID is rushed before family members can intervene. That’s the reality. They said it wouldn’t be this way, but the only difference between a conspiracy theory and reality proved to be only a few years. I’ve watched the testimony at committee, I’ve read the stories. They are REAL.
At what point does the defend-at-all-costs crowd step back and say, hmmm, maybe there is something to something these slippery slope warnings. Be it legalized murder or censorship or surveillance (why are they so afraid of debate). Hopefully, if history comes to its senses, it will judge this law as a lesson about how an unscrutinized government, propped up by propaganda, can get away with anything.
The unwillingness of those so enamoured with this PM that they have not an ounce of scrutiny, is to the detriment of this country. At what point will people start to question their blind trust in government, be that government liberal, conservative or whatever. Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Even CBC’s own panel is now calling out Mark Carney’s Liberals for exactly what they are: arrogant, anti-democratic, and drunk on their stolen majority.
Watch this.
Althia Raj lays it out plain:
- Liberals used their majority to ram through controversial bills with almost no debate.
- In some cases, they even backdated rules so only government MPs could bring amendments.
- House Leader Steven MacKinnon dismissed critics as “tin foil hat people.”
Chantal Hébert says she’s never seen anything like it — forcing nine bills through after a majority they didn’t earn at the polls.
Andrew Coyne nails the real problem:
> “The besetting sin of Liberals is arrogance.”
This isn’t governing. This is power-tripping.
They lecture Canadians about “trust” and “democracy” while they shut down debate, mock concerned citizens, and treat Parliament like their personal rubber stamp.
This is what happens when you hand power to people who believe rules only apply to everyone else.
Carney’s Liberals aren’t building Canada. They’re bulldozing what’s left of it — and they’re doing it with a smirk.
The mask is slipping. Even their own media friends are starting to notice.
Share this clip.
Send it to every Liberal you know.
Ask them how this is “protecting democracy.”
We’re done with the arrogance.

PM @MarkJCarney has granted federal managers arbitrary powers to ignore ‘Buy Canadian’ policy, records show. New reasons to bypass Canadian contractors include “administrative burden,” according to @TBS_Canada.

@kneegrow68763@mario4thenorth No he told Canadians to invest in Canada. He himself does another thing altogether. I’m sure if all of Poilievre’s investments were outside of Canada, there would be a very different song playing.
The full details of FIPA did come out. There were national security protections where Canada could refuse certain investments on national security grounds. Nothing like this “security and policing” agreement, the details of which we know nothing about. If you had questions about FIPA, a trade and investment deal, I would imagine you’d have even more critical questions about a straight out security deal.
Not a myth. You can’t isolate a subset, direct taxes, to make a point about the bigger picture. Indirect taxation, government levies that aren’t called taxes, but are, and the reduction of tax credits has increased the tax burden on the average family since the minerals took power. People aren’t imagining that they are paying more to the government, it’s real.
@gator_gum@rocinanterides There have been many instances of this government pouring gasoline onto the fire. Biggest one, cozying up with China, not just in trade, but on security and policing, with 0 transparency. It’s almost as if it were being done on purpose.
