Time For Mark Carney To Pull A Doug Ford: Apoligise & REVERSE The Condo Bailout

It's not hard Prime Minister: Just get in front of a microphone & say:

"My Friends, the People have spoken & we are canceling the Condo Purchases, we will still achieve Affordable Housing"

That’s a lot of words to say:

“I’m giving your tax dollars to rich people who made a crap investment.”

Canada, you should be furious about this! 🤬🤬

[Secretary Brooke Rollins @SecRollins]

On the ground in South Texas at Chaparrosa Ranch — just miles from where the first New World Screwworm case was found.

We rode the pastures, checked the cattle, and looked for anything out of the ordinary.

The good news? That first calf is now completely healthy and back to normal 9 days later.

This is the fight ahead of us — but we are ready. Equipped. And standing shoulder to shoulder with incredible cattlemen and cowboys like JR Ramirez who do this work every single day.

If you see something, report it immediately. That’s how we get @USDA and @TAHC resources to you fast — and how we stay ahead of this threat.

The best mosquito repellent for your patio costs $20 and runs on a wall outlet: a fan.

Mosquitoes are terrible fliers with a top speed of about 1-2 miles an hour, slower than you walk, and they struggle to make headway against even a gentle breeze. Point an oscillating fan at your outdoor seating area and they'll physically struggle to get to you.

It works on two levels too. A mosquito finds you by following the plume of carbon dioxide you exhale, plus the heat and scent rising off your skin. A fan scatters all of it and erases the trail that leads them in. So it knocks them out of the air and helps hide you from their senses at the same time.

This isn't folk wisdom. The CDC notes that fans reduce mosquito landings, and studies have found that using a fan can substantially reduce mosquito bites.

Citronella candles offer only modest protection and are generally much less effective than a fan or EPA-registered repellents. Plug in a fan, aim it at the table, and take your evening back.

Listening to @GadSaad break down Canadian taxes on Sean Hannity… aren’t you just excited to be Canadian??

From January 1st until the end of August, you work for free for the government.

Only starting in September do you finally get to keep what you actually earned.

Provincial tax capped at 25.75%. Federal tax at 33%. Already deep into the 50s before you even spend a dollar.

Then add the double sales tax, carbon tax, gas tax, property tax, and school tax — and you’re left with roughly 30 cents on every dollar you make.

This isn’t “contributing to society.” This is modern serfdom dressed up as compassion.

The same government that wastes billions on ArrivScam, failed apps, and fax machine replacement programs now expects you to hand over eight months of your life every single year.

And they still have the nerve to tell you there’s no money left for actual Canadians.

Wake up. This didn’t happen by accident.

Coming back from a 3-day trip to Philadelphia and Delaware. One topic kept coming up: Data centres and AI.

The U.S. is in the middle of the largest data-centre buildout in its history, driven by AI. Roughly 800 new AI-focused data centre projects are currently planned or under construction across the country.

Depending on how these projects evolve, between 250,000 and 630,000 acres of land could eventually be dedicated to AI infrastructure—an area ranging from larger than New York City to nearly the size of Rhode Island.

Nationally, that's a tiny fraction of America's 880 million acres of farmland. But locally, it's a different story. Many of these projects are being built on or near productive agricultural land because that's where large parcels, water access, and power infrastructure exist.

The real question isn't whether AI will consume all our farmland. It won't. The question is whether AI can outbid agriculture for land, water, and electricity in some of North America's most productive farming regions.

The AI revolution isn't just about chips and algorithms. It's increasingly about land use.

Giving people tax money to pay for groceries is a clear admission that you are overtaxing them.

A major change to Canadian telecom rules takes effect next Friday.

Starting June 12, telecommunications providers across Canada will no longer be allowed to charge activation fees, plan modification fees, or early cancellation fees on cellphone and internet plans, under a new CRTC decision.

Providers are also required to allow customers to make changes online, through an app, or by email, eliminating the need to call in.

BREAKING: U.S. dairy industry argues Canada is using its supply-managed system to generate surplus dairy proteins and exporting them through product categories not explicitly capped under CUSMA, want that addressed during the next trade review.

This will get ugly.

[Ryan Gerritsen🇨🇦🇳🇱 @ryangerritsen]

There is nothing funny about Carney spending half a million dollars on in flight meals.

It’s absolutely unacceptable & gross that he felt it was ok to do. It says a lot about him. This is the elitist many of us tried to warn people about.

This amount of money could feed 6 families of 4 for five years, or one family for 29 years.

Will he be held accountable for this quite obvious abuse of tax payers money?
I’m not holding my breath.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

As I get older I will never understand adults who are embarrassed about their age. Why are you sad and embarrassed that you've existed for a while? Why is it "rude" for someone to ask you how old you are? Why would you want people to think you're in your 20s if you're really in your 30s or 40s or 50s? It should go the other way. Age and experience should be a point of pride, if anything. The glorification of youth, and the desire to stay in that state forever, is the most retarded feature of the modern world. We used to revere our elders. Now we revere 23 year olds. Because why exactly? They don't know anything and haven't done anything. It's insane.

[Brian Lilley @brianlilley]

So let me get this straight.
Doug Ford is hounded to trying to buy a plane and incurring $200K in costs for returning.
Mark Carney buys 6 jets at $115 million each and spends $200k on catering for three flights and it is all good?

Recent reports out of Mexico suggest that bilateral talks between Mexico and the U.S. are ongoing and progressing well. Meanwhile, talks between Canada and the United States have been stalled since October.

Ottawa’s strategy with CUSMA is just beyond comprehension.

[Jamil Jivani @jamiljivani]

It's generally not a good idea to judge an article by the headline. But, if you read this, you will find the absurdity of the headline quite accurately reflects the poorly argued, anti-masculine, unhealthy drivel in the article. Young men deserve better from The Globe and Mail.

[Shane Wenzel @ShaneWenzel]

Albertans aren’t imagining it. Housing, groceries, fuel, and utilities have all climbed far faster than wages over the past two decades. Even with stronger incomes than much of Canada, affordability keeps slipping. The numbers show why so many families feel squeezed despite working harder than ever before.

[Jeff Bezos @JeffBezos]

Thank you. The important part is zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. Best way to put money in someone’s pocket is to not take it out in the first place. Bottom half is only 3% of total tax revenue. But it’s very meaningful to that person. Zero it out.

[James E. Thorne @DrJStrategy]

For the record.

No More Free Ride for Canada
The pause of the Permanent Joint Board on Defence is not just a bureaucratic squabble; it is Washington’s opening move in a larger strategic game is to force Canada out of its free‑rider equilibrium.

For 86 years, the board has been the institutional expression of Canada’s privileged status under the American security umbrella, a quiet assurance that Ottawa would always have a seat at the table when North America’s defence was planned. Putting it on ice is how the United States turns that privilege into leverage.

The strategic game is simple. The United States wants Canada to undergo a structural adjustment that Canadian politics has spent decades avoiding: higher, sustained defence spending; faster delivery of real capabilities; and a serious industrial base anchored in energy and critical minerals.

By pausing the PJBD rather than gutting NORAD or daily operational cooperation, Washington creates a reversible but highly visible penalty. The message is: the shield stays, for now, but the status, influence, and symbolism that Canadian elites prize are conditional on Ottawa finally behaving like a hard power rather than a moralizing stakeholder.

Mark Carney has, belatedly, read this room. He knows a world of Iranian missile swarms, Russian attrition wars, and Chinese naval expansion will not indulge a G7 country that treats 2 percent of GDP on defence as heroic while treating its vast resource endowment as something to be constrained rather than exploited.

The problem is that most of Canada’s political class, and the majority of its public, have not caught up. They still act as if the post WWII rules based era lives coupled with geography, good intentions, and ESG‑branded virtue restraint on resource development are a strategy that is sustainable.

In that context, the PJBD pause is best understood as a forcing mechanism. It is designed to make clear that Canada must choose: either adapt, by rapidly ramping up defence spending, rapidly developing and processing its natural resources as strategic assets, and embedding itself more deeply in U.S. planning and production, or accept a future as a protected but marginal player, lecturing from the sidelines while others set the terms.

The strategic game is to end Canada’s era of cost‑free virtue and make hard power, not slogans, the price of continued privilege. No one should be surprised.

[Under Secretary of War Elbridge Colby @USWPColby]

A strong Canada that prioritizes hard power over rhetoric benefits us all. Unfortunately, Canada has failed to make credible progress on its defense commitments. DoW is pausing the Permanent Joint Board on Defense to reassess how this forum benefits shared North American defense. 1/3
