Pushing hard against the Narrative. Politics is Bread & Circuses for the Masses. Canada needs to Reform its Parliamentary System.

[Jasmin Laine @JasminLaine_]

Let’s say your boss hired a consultant to make sure the company you work for absolutely crushed the next quarter.

But the company was kind of in the hole. You, being the loyal employee you are, had even gone so far as to work extra hours without pay, and avoided taking vacation days just so you could do your part for a job you love—naturally, you and your colleagues raised some concern about spending more money on a new consultant with similar ideas as the last one.

Your boss promised you all, “this is the guy”… and to convince you of his certainty, said “we’re going to build at speeds not seen in generations.”, “we’ll be a super power”. “You’re all going to get bonuses once this plan works.”.

365 days pass… and the results are worse than you could have expected. So bad, that thousands of your colleagues have chosen to leave the company for better opportunity with a different one.

The business is now in double the debt it was before his employment.

The promise of revenue by the consultant, turned out to be “not worth the paper they’re written on”.

And worse, you find out that he actually only answered the phone calls by your panicked boss once every five days. The rest of the time, he was off using the private jet, flying around the world and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in inflight catering on almost every trip.

When you checked with accounting, you discovered that instead of actually build significant wealth for the company, he had re-labeled all sorts of expense categories… replaced your colleagues with low skilled and low wage workers, claiming the company was thriving because of all this new employment and demand, and insulted your biggest customer so badly that they no longer want to do business with you.

When you brought this up to your boss, who you’ve worked for your entire career and thought you had a good relationship with, he called you the problem. A traitor and said you were spewing misinformation.

You showed him all your evidence, and he told you to “get the F#%> out. Pack your bags and leave if you’re going to be so negative and talk down the company like that.”

That’s basically Canada right now.

Canada's government isn't failing to stop organized crime… it's been absorbed by it.

- Organized crime drives up government contract costs by 50%

- The mafia controlled 80% of Montreal road contracts

- Canadians pay more in taxes than food, shelter, and clothing combined

- An RCMP intelligence director tipped off money launderers

Canada: Run by criminals, for criminals.

🚨🇨🇦 Mark Carney managed Brookfield’s Global Transition Fund before becoming Prime Minister.

Since taking office, government policy has consistently favoured sectors connected to the energy transition - the exact investment thesis his former fund was built around.

He holds $6.8M USD in Brookfield options expiring in 2033.

He sits behind an ethics screen that Democracy Watch says covers 99% of government decisions anyway.

The question isn’t whether Carney believes in the energy transition.

He clearly does. On the record. On video. Since 2024.

The question is whether Canadians can trust that billion-dollar policy decisions are being made for their benefit - and not to protect the value of options held by the man signing the orders.

That’s not a conspiracy.
That’s the basic standard of transparency every public servant is held to.

Every public servant except apparently this one.

Parliament should see the full disclosure.

Canadians deserve to see it too.

Transparency isn’t an attack.
It’s the minimum.

@MarkJCarney @Martyupnorth Who is stupid enough to see this as a win?

[Rational Posts™ @rationalposts]

@MarkJCarney If we didn't spend 12 years in state funded schools from the ages of 5 to 18 when it is the best time to break free of the government mind-ghetto most of us don't, this would be so easy to see:

‘Average’ loses meaning if all western nations are following the same plan - increased taxation.

21 years ago, The Guardian reported that by the year 2020:

1️⃣ The Bering Strait would be open year-round

2️⃣ European ships would routinely pass through the Arctic to reach Asia

3️⃣ Polar bear populations would decline

4️⃣ Snow would disappear from the tops of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya

5️⃣ Sea levels would start rising by 7 mm / year due to accelerated Greenland ice melt

How have these predictions fared?

Not well, they’re batting zero.

@sfliberty Socialists are idịots. Anyone with a basic level of critical thinking skills should be able to deduce why socialism has not & will not ever work.

10 Ways to Know Your Government Has Become Tyrannical:

1. "Emergency measures" that mysteriously outlive the emergency.

2. The classroom becomes a pipeline for ideology, and curiosity gets treated as a defect.

3. Information gets gatekept, and stepping out of line comes with consequences.

4. Disagreement gets rebranded as extremism; the critic becomes the criminal.

5. Group identity is weaponized — pick a villain class, aim the public's anger at it.

6. History is edited like a script until the regime casts itself as the hero.

7. Peaceful protests are crushed while regime supporters raise hell without consequence.

8. Fear is broadcast on repeat until compliance feels like common sense.

9. The law bends around the powerful and lands hardest on their opponents.

10. Everyone is continuously watched because monitored people are obedient people.

But don't worry… nothing like that could ever happen here, right?

Why should people have to have "faith" in elections? That's like having "faith" in the final scores of football games. Election results are either verifiably accurate and auditable or not. Faith and belief are irrelevant.

@KEriksenV2 You’re fighting against a propaganda machine that has systematically reduced intelligence, self reflection, and critical thinking, for literal decades. The past half century or more has proven that the elites can remain in power if people feel apathetic and are ignorant.

Canada: Crying Over Spilt Milk in a Self‑Inflicted Stagnation

Canada’s elite have spent a quarter‑century turning a rich, opportunity‑dense economy into a slow‑growth, over‑levered cul‑de‑sac, and they still insist nothing is structurally wrong. There is no sense crying over spilt milk about past mistakes when the architects of this stagnation are still in charge and still in denial.

Canada did not just drift into secular stagnation; it embraced a kind of virtue socialism and an industrial policy anchored on climate change targets rather than productive capacity, competitiveness, or growth. An economy built on world‑class natural resources, strategic geography, and human capital has been deliberately downgraded into a housing‑addicted, low‑productivity balance sheet recession risk, and the people who did it still show up on panels calling this “resilience.”

For years, Canada’s comparative advantages in energy, resources, and industrial capacity were something to apologize for, regulate to death, or tax into oblivion, while policy and capital chased the illusion that you could mortgage and virtue‑signal your way to prosperity. The result is a country flirting with a liquidity trap, where even lower rates may barely move a real economy suffocated by over‑priced assets, under‑built productive capital, and households too damaged to borrow again.

The real scandal is not that Canada faces secular stagnation; it is that the elite engineered it, denied it, wrapped it in climate rhetoric, and now blame external shocks while the data scream that this is a made‑in‑Canada crisis.

To be clear, Canada’s problems are not the result of President Trump!

If Canada’s elite will not finally admit that decades of attacking its own strengths, worshipping its own bubbles, and treating industrial policy as a morality play have left the country one downturn away from a full balance sheet recession, then they are not guardians of the national interest, they are custodians of decline, and at this point, there really is no sense crying over spilt milk, only over the refusal to fix the mess they made.

[L. Wayne Mathison @WayneMathison]

Rob Henderson gets this right.

The biggest mistake people make is thinking propaganda is always meant to persuade. Often, it is not. Sometimes the point is power.

When a political class pushes a narrative so detached from ordinary life that it almost becomes comedy, they are not trying to win you over. They are showing you who controls the room. They own the microphones, the institutions, the respectable opinions, and the approved language. Your job, in their mind, is to sit there and nod.

You can see this in Canada.

Look at Avi Lewis and the NDP. The NDP used to speak the language of the factory floor, the farm, the mine, and the logging camp. Now it increasingly sounds like a graduate seminar run by wealthy activists who have never had to worry about making payroll or paying a heating bill.

Parachuting legacy eco-activists into prominent roles is not a message to working people that they have been heard. It is a message that they have been replaced. The old working-class base is expected to clap along while the party obsesses over academic slogans and boutique causes that do nothing to lower rent, buy groceries, or keep a job in resource communities.

Then look at Mark Carney and the Liberals.

Canadians are being crushed by housing costs, inflation, weak productivity, and a general sense that the country is getting harder to live in. The Liberal answer is to bring in the polished face of the global financial class and pretend this somehow proves they understand the average Canadian.

It is institutional arrogance dressed up as competence.

The message to people struggling at the grocery store is basically this: “We do not need to fix the mess. We just need someone with the right résumé to explain why you are too stupid to understand it.”

That is the flex.

They do not have to convince you their ideas are working. They just have to remind you who controls the narrative.

[Peter Clack @PeterDClack]

Earth's current global baseline temperature does not add up to a planetary emergency.

Humanity has evolved and still lives in an Ice Age; Earth's long-term climate has almost always been 5°C-10°C hotter than today. How can we be facing a climate crisis?

It has been vastly hotter in the past than today's modest 14-15°C range. We are living in an unbroken ice-age ecosystem, which has lasted for 34 million years. We are currently experiencing one of the coldest periods in geological history.

Historical studies show that long-term global temperatures were between 20°C and 25°C. Earth has been in this warmer greenhouse state for roughly 70–80% of the last half-billion years, devoid of polar ice sheets.

The global average temperature of 15°C may be the modern baseline (specifically closer to 14°C or 14.5°C), calculated via global weather stations and satellite anomalies to track current trends. But it is still far colder today than the world's long-term average climate.

Nor is CO₂ the hot button switch from glacial periods to warm interglacials and back—it is orbital mechanics pulling the trigger. Paleoclimate data shows that CO₂ forms a positive feedback loop. But studies do not attribute ice ages - or the glacial or interglacial cycles - to CO₂ levels.

Human civilisation has arisen almost entirely within the current warm interglacial period (the Holocene). The pacing of these glacial-interglacial cycles over the last 2.58 million years is indisputably driven by variations in Earth's orbit, known as the Milankovitch cycles—eccentricity, axial tilt (obliquity), and wobble (precession).

Earth is still within the Late Cenozoic Ice Age, which began 34 million years ago, sparked by the separation of Antarctica from South America and Australia, creating the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. This thermally isolated Antarctica, leading to its oceanic isolation and glaciation.

Humanity has evolved - and still lives entirely within - the Late Cenozoic Ice Age; while world temperatures have been 5°C-10°C hotter for 541 million years.

Why are these fundamental geological realities completely omitted from the modern agenda?

[Northern Perspective @NorthrnPrspectv]

Notice what isn't on this graph: Donald Trump.

He didn't cause these numbers. The Liberal Party did.

The same Liberal party that was being advised during this period by Mark Carney.

But they want you to believe that all of the economic problems that have culminated into the crisis we see today are a result of a president that has only been around for a year.

Think about it.
