Alberta business owner. Free markets, energy, sovereignty and blunt politics. Politically incorrect, usually on purpose.

I'm just stunned at how fucking backwards the government is. Listen, @timhodgsonmt, it's simple.

- Remove regulations and shitty laws
- Cut red tape
- Set a flat corporate income tax at 8-10%
- Assert federal authority over federal jurisdiction (ie, tell people to sit down and shut up about pipelines, they're gonna happen whether they like it or not. In other words, do your job)
- Stop sending billions of dollars overseas
- Set immigration to something reasonable like 200,000 combined permanent/temporary residents.
- Minimum sentencing for violent crimes
- No automatic bail
- REVOCATION OF CITIZENSHIP / PR status for violent immigrant offenders. Deport them.

That's about it. If you do those things, hundreds of billions of dollars will flood into Canada. Projects will be funded privately. Well paying jobs will be plentiful.

And you won't need to give people a measly $339 to cover groceries (that's one trip to the store for me)

@cbcwatcher A) She sounds drunk.
B) Unifor doesn't seem to think the government has acted in good faith.
C) Saying "this time, for reals!" doesn't inspire confidence, when that's what Canadians have been hearing all along.

[Loadedlen @loadedlen]

Yeah... We know this Liberal government. This isn't the end. They'll wait until private money takes an interest again and then come up with some other way to block our progress. Constitutional or not, it doesn't matter to them. They're more than willing to spend 10 yrs in the courts.

[Loadedlen @loadedlen]

@Martyupnorth Why do they even have security or a loss prevention department?

[Loadedlen @loadedlen]

@FP_Champagne @ScottGillingham @TerryDuguid Wasn't that your motorcade driving through downtown Vancouver when an RCMP escort was involved in an accident? Haven't heard you wishing the member well. Looked like a pretty traumatic wreck. Could be a spinal injury. What about it, Champagne? How about a little compassion?

[Loadedlen @loadedlen]

CTV peddling this like it's a surprise. I've got news for you, @CTVNews, Carney's dirty. Joly's dirty. Champagne's dirty. McKinnon's dirty... They're all dirty. And everytime you defend them, or neglect to cover suspicious actions, you get a little dirtier, too.

Brush yourself off, and start doing honest journalism.

The common Poppy is bright red. It became abundant among the battlefields because the soil in the fields was disturbed by artillery, bringing dormant seeds to the surface. Other wildflowers grow in Flanders, but the red poppy dominated among the graves because they thrive in disturbed soil. That's why it became symbolic. That's why we wear red poppies.

Lest we forget.

[Loadedlen @loadedlen]

@bankofcanada And it only took 10 years, and at least 2 missed roll out dates.

[Loadedlen @loadedlen]

I drive all over the country. There are bad drivers everywhere, but it seems like the lower mainland has a disproportionate share of them. Why? Not because of poor testing. It's probably because the congestion is high and it magnifies mistakes. Vancouver has the highest traffic congestion level in Canada by a wide margin. And a fast moving motorcade with RCMP escort is an accident waiting to happen.

[Loadedlen @loadedlen]

@ianb How many official motorcades were travelling through downtown Vancouver today? I think it's a safe bet that this was Champagne and the Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng.

Funny, I don't see a statement from Champagne. He should be deeply ashamed for not making a statement.

[Loadedlen @loadedlen]

What happened to threatening legal action (Oct 2025), service Notice of Default (Dec 2025), claiming that hundreds of millions in federal and provincial support ($710 million) would be recovered (Sep 2026)?

Now you're bargaining.

If you threaten something, follow through. You're weak, and it shows.

[Loadedlen @loadedlen]

@CTVNews @CTVNews, I demand a retraction. "far-right" is just false.

[Loadedlen @loadedlen]

Memorial Poppies are red because that's the way they grew in Flanders, a region in northern Belgium which extends into France and the Netherlands. Some of the bloodiest battles occured in the area during World War I. Why just red? Because the red poppy thrives in disturbed soil, and with all the artillery, foxholes, trenches, craters, etc, that farmland became ideal for them. It became symbolic after In Flanders Fields was written. McCrae didn't make them up, he was describing exactly what he saw, poppies blowing between the crosses, row on row.

Any other color is just a lapel pin, and means nothing. Wear a red poppy to show thanks to all who served and remember, especially, those who fell. We owe it to them to try and imagine the horror they went through.

Woke has no place in Remembrance Day.

@JonniM @FP_Champagne @PaymentsCanada @Wealthsimple You need to switch banks. If you deal directly with any of the big 5, transfers between accounts and interac e-transfers are instant. If the bank suspects you of bad faith, they may place a hold on it but that doesn't slow the actual transfer.

[Loadedlen @loadedlen]

@jnarai @J0hnHaw3s @FP_Champagne @PaymentsCanada @Wealthsimple The low value is just an option you can change with your bank. I regularly do interac transfers approaching $10K. Even my POS limit has been increased to $20,000 (don't ask...that was a one time thing)

[Loadedlen @loadedlen]

Let's address the Oliphant in the room.

The Parliamentary Budget Officer calculated that the 2025 initiative (also $13 Billion, over 5 years) would increase projected national housing completions by only 2.1%. A far cry from the government's stated goal of "doubling the housing construction rate"

Now your committing another $13 Billion to add 200,000 homes over the next 10 years.

Something tells me that will also fall short.

How about just letting the free market do free market stuff and limiting the amount of immigration for 10 years?

[Loadedlen @loadedlen]

The NDP don't know or understand the difference between medical billing codes and health insurance. Alberta is considering adopting the AMA's Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) coding system. Using American billing codes doesn't mean adopting American healthcare. Deliberately blurring these issues to frighten voters is pathetic. Alberta can use CPT codes while continuing to pay for medically necessary services through Alberta Healthcare.

[Loadedlen @loadedlen]

@RMapleCan I refuse to react to accounts like this. Blatant political sycophancy and partisan hero worship. If you have something to gain from this Liberal government's policies, it's not from seeing economic growth or sound judgment. It's from being a beneficiary of political patronage.

[Loadedlen @loadedlen]

@globeandmail Here's the plan.
