[Melanie In Saskatchewan @saskatchewan_in]

I am Canadian, I am a taxpayer, I am a voter. Mr. Carney, I am a Canadian fed up with you treating my money, my vote and my patience like things you're just entitled to.

I get up, I go to work, and I pay my bills. When I can't afford something, I put it back. You should try that sometime with my money.

You sold yourself as the man with the experience to handle Donald Trump. So do what you told Canadians you could do. Get back to the table and get us a deal that gives our workers, our businesses and our families a leg to stand on. Your résumé has had its introduction. We're waiting for the part where it helps us, because contrary to your belief, you didn't just "get here."

A reporter once asked when you last spoke to the American president, and you flippantly said, "Who cares?" You called it a detail. You said you would speak to him again "when it matters." Well I CARE. And it already mattered.

It mattered to the worker waiting to hear whether there would be another shift. It mattered to the business owner losing orders. It mattered to the parent putting groceries back. You acknowledged your words were a mistake. But correcting your wording doesn't correct anyone's bank balance.

I am tired of you telling Canadians to keep our elbows up while we swirl the drain, struggling to keep our heads above water. You suspended trade negotiations and recalled your team on August 21. Counting that day and today, that's 56 days. You cited sovereignty and unacceptable terms.

So then show us the details on how you're getting better ones. Show us the progress. Show us the timetable. Show us what Canadians can actually count on because waiting to see how America's November 3rd midterm election turns out is not a viable or even reasonable option.

My bills have deadlines. Your promises need them too. And spare me another victory speech about diversifying trade. More customers would be welcome. But an invitation, a handshake and a potential market are not paid orders leaving the factory floor.

Your own government's report says America bought 72% of our goods exports in 2025. The rest of the world COMBINED bought 28%. You know the difference. Stop talking as though a collection of future possibilities can immediately replace the customer paying most of the bills.

And your interest in changing the global financial system didn't begin when you became prime minister. Back in 2019, you were discussing an alternative international currency system that could reduce the American dollar's global dominance.

You are entitled to your economic theories. I am entitled to ask what pursuing them means for my country and my kitchen table.

You campaigned on diversification. Fine. That does not excuse failing to deliver relief in the trading relationship Canadians still depend on. You don't get to mark your own homework by changing which promise we're supposed to judge.

I am done with the gaslighting. I am done with you expecting me to mistake another Liberal government announcement for Liberal government accomplishment.

And I am done watching your government applaud its announced efforts while I wait for something to reach my kitchen table. I can read a receipt. I can read a bill too. I can tell when a promise hasn't paid either one.

But I have noticed how quickly your government can move when the benefit goes directly to YOU!

You came out of the general election with a minority. That was the limit Canadians put on your power.

You deliberately recruited floor crossers to help assemble the majority you didn't win in that election, in defiance of the democratic process Canadians exercised. You can call that a change of heart, however I am entitled to find it eerily suspicious. Especially since others have come forward describing the pressure tactics your party uses to recruit opposition members.

Then your government changed committee membership to secure Liberal control while moving many in camera or sealing information rightfully belongingto tax payers.

I am Canadian. And I expect you to respect the voters' judgment as much as you welcome an MP pretending to suddenly changing theirs. You found a way to strengthen your position. I expect that same determination when ours is weakening.

I am tired of watching you acquire more power while being told I should expect less. Less certainty, less purchasing power but expected to have more patience, and sacrifice even more than I have already.

I am done being lectured about sacrifice by people insulated from the consequences of their own decisions. You make the announcement, but it's the Canadian people making the adjustments. We postpone repairs. We stretch groceries. We wonder what else we can cut as our stomachs rumble.

You call it a transition after a rupture. From my kitchen table, it looks like poorly calculated managed decline on the heels of a deliberate rupture orchestrated by you and you alone. And I flat out, vehemently refuse to have you sell it back to me as something I asked for when nobody did.

I am tired of you using Donald Trump as a cudgel to beat Canadians into accepting whatever you propose. His conduct does not make your decisions beyond criticism. His tariffs do not erase your promises. And disliking him does not obligate me to trust you.

I am Canadian. My loyalty is to this country. You have to earn my confidence through what you deliver. My taxes are not applause, my vote is not unconditional consent, and my
patriotism is not yours to manipulate.

I WILL question you.
I WILL challenge you.
I WILL organize with my fellow countrymen, speak out and demand answers.

And, so help me God, I WILL keep standing up for myself and my country until my dying breath. You can try to stop me, but I will defy you.

My name is Melanie. I am a Canadian living in Saskatchewan, and YOU - Mark Carney - work for me.

START ACTING LIKE IT!

Two weeks before the 25th anniversary of the deadliest terrorist attack in American history, CBC has instructed its journalists not to refer to 9/11 as a terrorist attack.

Nearly 3,000 innocent people were murdered that day, including 24 Canadians, in an act of monstrous evil.

Canadians stood shoulder to shoulder with our American friends, neighbours, and allies in the aftermath. Nearly 7,000 stranded passengers found safe harbour in Gander. More than 40,000 Canadians would go on to serve in Afghanistan alongside our allies in the fight against terrorism.

To call 9/11 anything other than a terrorist attack is an appalling distortion of history. It dishonours the victims and their families, the survivors, and the first responders who suffered from the horrors of that day.

CBC must immediately apologize and retract this directive.

The fastest female, 100-meter sprinter in recorded history is American legend Florence Griffith Joyner. She set the world record of 10.49 seconds on July 16, 1988.

In 2026, there were over 1000 high school boys that beat this record! You read that correctly. In this year alone, there were over 1000 high school boys that beat the record of fastest woman in the world ever!

If just one of those boys, or a meager 1/10 of 1%, decided to compete as a woman, he would crush the women’s world record!

I’m not talking about a high school record or a college record or even an Olympic or professional record. I’m talking about the women’s world record that has held since 1988!

Remind me again, why you’re not supportive of women’s rights.

We've been ruled by men who live by illusions:

—The illusion that you can spend money you haven't earned without eventually going bankrupt or falling into the hands of your creditors;

—The illusion that real jobs can be conjured into existence by government decree like rabbits out of a hat;

—The illusion that there is some other way of creating wealth than by hard work and satisfying your customers;

—The illusion that you can have freedom and enterprise without believing in free enterprise.

“I work the front desk at a small doctor’s office, and I wish people could see what happens on the other side of the phone.
Every day, older patients call us confused.

They are told to use the patient portal, upload documents, check lab results online, fill out forms before the visit, and confirm everything through a link.
Some of them do not know what a portal is.

Some do not have a smartphone.
Some have one, but they are afraid to click the wrong thing.
Last week, a man in his late 80s called about his test results.

He said, “Ma’am, I don’t mean to bother you, but the computer says I have a message and I don’t know how to open it.”
He sounded ashamed.
That broke my heart.

He should not have to feel ashamed for needing a human being.
Technology can be helpful. I understand that.

But when people who built this country are made to feel helpless because everything became a login and a password, we have gone too far.
Not everything needs to be an app.
Not every answer should be hidden behind a screen.

Sometimes people need a voice.
A patient person.
A real human who says, “Don’t worry, I can help you.”
Progress should not leave seniors behind.

Because one day, the world will move faster than us too.
And I hope someone is kind enough to slow down.

CBC refused to include a comment from Pierre Poilievre to balance their coverage of Carney’s press conference.

Pierre spoke and took questions for 56 minutes. (Video below)

The CBC included 0% of it.

The CBC is the state broadcaster and only exists because Canadians are forced to pay for it through their taxes.

The very least it can do is cover all sides of the issues.

I am a Free Canadian.

For now.

I grew up believing freedom was the default setting. Canadians didn't need permission to speak their minds. Privacy wasn't something you applied for. Citizens questioned government, not the other way around.

Maybe that sounds old-fashioned now.
I don't care.

I am a Skeptical Canadian.

When politicians tell me a new power is only for my protection, I read the fine print. When they tell me it's for the children, I ask who will inherit the precedent. When they tell me only bad people should worry, I remember that every right we possess was created to protect ordinary people from powerful ones.

My ancestors didn't cross oceans so their descendants could ask permission to speak freely online. Nobody stormed beaches, froze in trenches, or built this country from muskeg and rock so future Canadians could be told which opinions are safe enough to share.

I am a Vigilant Canadian.

I come from the kind of country where neighbours pull strangers out of snowbanks, where farmers stop their tractors to help a motorist change a tire, and where people apologize when someone else bumps into them. Yet somehow we're expected to believe Canadians cannot be trusted with freedom unless somebody in Ottawa supervises it.

I don't want government deciding what ideas deserve promotion. I don't want bureaucrats deciding what opinions require supervision. I don't want privacy traded away one "reasonable" compromise at a time. And I sure as hell don't want my children growing up believing freedom is whatever remains after regulators finish editing it.

I am a Stubborn Canadian.

My country was built by people who crossed oceans, survived winters, broke land, built railways, fought wars, and buried friends. Not so future generations could quietly surrender their liberties because questioning authority became unfashionable or that blind allegiance is normal.

I am an Informed Canadian.

Which means I understand the oldest trick in politics.

Nobody arrives at the front door and announces they are here to take your freedom. They arrive carrying safety, protection, security, and good intentions. Freedom departs, hidden inside the packaging.

No freedom disappears all at once. It vanishes piece by piece. One exception. One permission. One restriction. One "temporary" measure that somehow never leaves.

Until one day people wake up and realize they still have all the responsibilities of free citizens and fewer of the rights.

I am a Free Canadian.

Not because government allows it. Not because a regulator approves it. Not because a bureaucrat signs a form.

I am free because generations before me insisted on it.

And if that little phrase ever disappears from our vocabulary, it will not be because Canadians failed to notice.

It will be because Canadians forgot who they were.

I haven't forgotten. And I have no intention of starting now.

Because the rights I inherited are not mine to surrender.

They are mine to protect.

And someday I intend to hand them, intact, to the Canadians who come after me.

I haven't forgotten.
And neither should you.

Melanie
