Why are we using the tax dollars of hard-working Canadians to bail out billionaire developers who built and priced condos that no one could afford?

Who lobbied for it? Who benefits?

And why did the Liberals shut down the parliamentary investigation?

Canadians deserve answers.

[Build Canada @buildcanada]

In early to mid 2022, G7 countries hit the brakes on pandemic-level money printing.

Except for Canada.

[JayGen 𝕏 er🇨🇦 @JayGenXer]

Look at this.

Liberal floor-crosser Lori Idlout just got banned from federal contracts after her company pocketed $583K in taxpayer money.

She ditched the NDP to hand Mark Carney his stolen majority.

Her firm raked in hundreds of thousands for “Indigenous workshops” and trauma training — on the taxpayer dime.

Now the Ethics Commissioner says she can’t be a federal contractor.

But nobody’s talking about giving the money back.

This is the game.

Cross the floor for power.
Cash the cheques.
Get told you can’t do it anymore… while keeping every dollar.

Canadians keep paying the tab.

Disgusting.

Why don’t history books refer to Muslims as colonizers, oppressors, genociders, slave traders, and imperialists?

Why would Brookfield join Concert Properties if they knew that they were struggling to sell their condo’s? Better YET why isn’t Brookfield helping to Bailout these Developers instead of Canadian taxpayers?? Also why is Mark Carney only wanting to Bailout these Developers since Brookfield joined Concert Properties??

[JayGen 𝕏 er🇨🇦 @JayGenXer]

Anyone want to remind "King" Carney he's not running Brookfield anymore?

He's a public servant, elected to represent Canadians — not some arrogant CEO who gets to dodge questions with a smug "I'll keep you posted."

We pay his salary. We deserve real answers on trade with Trump, not this condescending ego trip from a guy who treats us like shareholders he can update at his convenience.

This is exactly why Canadians are fed up. Carney acts like the job is beneath him while the country burns.

You're not in the boardroom anymore. Do your damn job or step aside.

12 people were shot in 48 hours in Toronto this weekend and we get a influencer style tiktok from the Prime Minister.

How about explaining how one of the shooting suspects was charged with an armed home invasion in 2024 and with smuggling 100 firearms into Canada in 2025, yet was somehow released back into society shooting people in 2026.

BREAKING: Mark Carney posts the worst economic start for all Canadian prime ministers in more than 6 decades.

The only people getting ahead in Carney’s economy are the Liberal Club insiders who get carveouts, bailouts, and handouts, while Canadians who actually do the work pay the rising cost.

[wealthmoose @wealthmoose]

$1.45 billion in public money.

Brookfield became co-owner with one of the developers 15 days before the announcement.

Ethics committee vote to actually look into it: blocked.

Nothing to see here, say the people blocking you from seeing it.

Canada for you 🇨🇦📌

‼️ BREAKING: The Trump administration is holding hearings this week on 10% tariffs against Canadian goods.

Every serious country sent delegations to Washington to make their case.

Canada sent nobody.

Not a minister.

Not an ambassador.

Not a trade official.

A Canadian citizen paid his own airfare to Washington to defend Canadian jobs.

He testified in front of the US Trade Representative because his own government would not.

CANADA WAS ELECTED A PRIME MINISTER BECAUSE HE WAS THE ONLY PERSON WHO COULD HANDLE TRUMP.

Trump held a hearing on tariffs against Canada.

Carney sent a nobody.

A private Canadian did the Prime Minister’s job.

[Aaron Gunn @AaronGunn]

BREAKING: The Liberals have moved to shut down debate on their billion-dollar bailout of billionaire Vancouver developers.

Refusing to answer straightforward questions on where this idea came from, who lobbied for it and which developers, banks and foreign investors stand to benefit the most.

Cover up? This is crony capitalism at its worse.

@jacobmantle @Gab_Hardy

[Karla Treadway | Host Sovereign Sphere Podcast @thesovereignceo]

Shutting down debates, removing cameras from committees, unelected majority, bribing floor crossers, hundreds of conflicts of interests, censoring the Internet…

This is the most corrupt government in Canada’s history.

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

The Egyptian Football Association posted a video titled: “The Secret to Victory.”

They openly state that the key to victory is to begin the match by cursing Christians and Jews.

Before each match, the team gathers to recite Quranic passages calling Christians and Jews infidels under Allah’s wrath.

Coptic Christians make up 15% of Egypt’s population, but they are not allowed to be part of the national team.

For some reason, FIFA thinks this is ok.

[Karla Treadway | Host Sovereign Sphere Podcast @thesovereignceo]

75% of Canada's agri-food exports go to the United States. They pay a premium for our product. And yet we booed their anthem, banned their liquor, and implemented counter-tariffs arguably in breach of our own trade agreement. Mexico ( a country that had a wall built against it ) handled this relationship better than we did. Because they focused on fundamentals instead of feelings.

The obvious answer is we need a good diplomatic relationship with the US. Yet everything the federal government is currently doing is leading to the opposite of that.

The most disgusting example of malicious political prosecution.

The Emergencies Act was used illegally.

And nothing happened to the government!

They get away with it.

Meanwhile, they’re still actively trying to destroy Chris & Tamara’s lives.

USING OUR TAXES!

[T.D. Leaker @TdLeaker]

(The 🍓🍓🍓🤣 at the end)…

Karen earns $995 today.

Before she sees a penny, roughly $533 disappears in marginal federal and provincial income tax.

She fills her tank. Another $15.75 in fuel taxes and HST.

She buys a pack of cigarettes. About $10 goes to taxes.

A $20 bottle of wine to take the edge off? Another $3+ in taxes and levies.

Dinner? $3.90 in HST.

Every single month she quietly pays HST on her phone, internet and streaming services. She pays $6,000 a year in property tax just to continue living in a home she already bought with after-tax income. Part of every insurance premium is insurance premium tax. Hidden in almost everything she buys are corporate taxes, commercial property taxes, development charges, licensing fees and tariffs that businesses simply pass along in the price.

She books a vacation. Airport Improvement Fees. Security charges. More taxes.

She invests what’s left. If it grows, she pays capital gains tax. If it pays dividends, she pays dividend tax.

Then one day Karen dies.

Her family discovers there isn’t technically a “death tax” in Canada—but her estate is treated as though she sold almost everything the moment she died. Capital gains become taxable, final income tax is due, and in Ontario her estate pays probate fees before her family receives what’s left.

Karen’s money was taxed when she earned it, taxed while she spent it, taxed while she invested it, taxed while she owned things, and taxed one final time when she died.

But don’t worry.

Karen refuses to buy American strawberries because she’s bravely protesting the tariffs the U.S. charges on their imports.

After paying roughly $687 in taxes and government fees on a $995 workday, she’s finally taking a stand against someone else’s tax policy. 🇨🇦💪

Nothing says upside-down world like a king turning to the peasants to pay for his castle.

That is how monarchies operate, not democracies.

In a democracy, governments exist to serve the people, not the other way around. Public money is meant to serve the public.

So if we have been paying for the kingdom all along, where did the castle budget go?

A big congratulations to the Alto executives for getting $2.8 million in bonuses for a train project that has no route, no financing, no building permit, no start date, and won’t exist for over a decade.

The Liberal Club is getting richer than ever. Thank you, Mark Carney. Pop the Champagne!!! 🍾
