Canadian logic: Current prime minister has been astoundingly bad for the Canadian economy. Conclusion: Most Canadians are very satisfied with his handling of the economy.

Elbows up!

🚨🇨🇦 Under Mark Carney Canada has:

📍The worst food price inflation in the G7

📍The highest household debt in the G7

📍The most unaffordable housing in the G7

📍The lowest investment / worker in the G7

📍The second lowest productivity in the G7

📍The second highest unemployment in the G7.

But Liberals want you to believe, “things have never been better!”🤔

Dias hits it.

Canada has put itself on the sidelines of global energy security for too long.

The country is waking up - like Germany and the UK now - with steep industrial decline and a bad Davos hangover from drinking the climate action kool-aid.

In Canadas case this was especially dumb because shutting down pipelines from Alberta was an attack on the largest pool of democracy-based energy assets. Giving despotic states a global market advantage. While doing nothing for the planet.

A lot of people in Ottawa - still isolated from the real world in govt jobs funded with debt - still haven’t connected the dots.

Canada can be the single wealthiest per capita nation in the planet. Being poorer and less globally relevant than we were a decade ago is a choice.

A bad one.

Netherlands has now approved a 36% tax on unrealized gains…

Let that sink in.

You invest €1,000.

Year 1:
• Stock doubles to €2,000
• You didn’t sell. Didn’t cash out. Didn’t touch it.
• Government: “Congrats on the €1,000 gain. That’s €360. In cash.”
• So now you’re forced to sell shares just to pay the bill.
• Everyone else does the same.
• Selling pressure spikes.
• Stock tanks to €800.
• After tax? You’ve effectively got €440 left.

Year 2:
• Stock rebounds to €1,200
• Government: “Another €400 gain. Pay €144.”
• More forced selling.
• Price drops again.
• You’re down to €756.

Year 3:
• Stock crawls back to €1,000 — exactly where it started.
• Government: “That €100 move? We’ll take €36.”
• Capital starts leaving the country.
• Investors stop playing the game.

Total taxes paid: €540.
Total actual gain: €0.
Value left in your pocket: €460.

You lost 54%… on an investment that broke even.

The only guaranteed winner?
The government:

“Thanks for the contribution, you’re helping to make society more equitable.”

[Gad Saad @GadSaad]

Yes.

Davos is basically all the people who have created the problems, denied their existence and then called us names for pointing them out... explaining what the problems are and how we desperately need to fix them.

Last Friday, the Federal Court of Appeal released one of the most significant constitutional decisions in decades.

The Court confirmed that the federal government’s February 14, 2022 invocation of the Emergencies Act was unlawful, that statutory thresholds were not met, and that fundamental Charter rights including freedom of expression, protection against unreasonable search and seizure, were violated.

It also held that the freezing of Canadians’ bank accounts was unlawful and occurred without the constitutional safeguards required in a free and democratic society.

This is now the second Canadian court to reach the same conclusion. The rule of law has spoken clearly. Yet there has been no public acknowledgement, apology, or explanation from the federal government.

In a Westminster parliamentary democracy, findings of this gravity engage the constitutional convention of Ministerial Responsibility. That principle holds that when ministers authorize unlawful action or preside over serious failures of governance, they are expected to accept responsibility, including resignation from Cabinet.

Seven members of the current Cabinet participated in the February 14, 2022 decision. Respect for constitutional norms and democratic accountability now requires that they resign from Cabinet:

- Dominic LeBlanc
- Mélanie Joly
- François-Philippe Champagne
- Anita Anand
- Patty Hajdu
- Marc Miller
- Sean Fraser

Canada's democracy depends not only on the exercise of power, but on the willingness to relinquish it when the law has been breached.

It's not quite a pipeline or affordable homes. But congratulations on building something, anything.

[Bob Zimmer @bobzimmermp]

BREAKING: Liberals with help from the NDP, just voted DOWN our motion ❌ 196-139 ✅ to get a pipeline to the north coast of BC.

Our motion used Carney’s OWN WORDS.

Carney and his “keep it in the ground” caucus aren’t serious about making Canada an energy super power.

Land acknowledgments were a horrible idea and must end.
This is excellent.

[Aaron Gunn @AaronGunn]

Without a strong, stable and unified Conservative Party in British Columbia, the province will continue to suffer at the hands of the NDP.

And without a strong and prosperous BC, all of Canada will feel the pain.

Urging Conservative MLAs to set aside their personal feelings and act in the best interest of our province and country.

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

We should be the richest, most affordable country in the world.

We have the resources & workers. But investment imploded thanks to Liberal red tape, high taxes, and anti-development laws.

Get government out of the way to bring an economic boom and affordable lives for our people: https://t.co/s42aQC58wG

[Scotty Mac @macattack_yyj]

@JohnStossel John- I only recently started following you, but I’m already impressed at the quantity & quality of your content/posts. Excellent stuff, keep it up, man!

[Scotty Mac @macattack_yyj]

@billmaher Once again: Bill Maher might be one of the last sane voices in politics on EITHER side of this culture war, and we should applaud him for it every day

[Scotty Mac @macattack_yyj]

@PierrePoilievre Well said @PierrePoilievre. Good opening salvo and light hearted banter. Lull him into a sense of ease and then drop him with a combo of common sense

[Scotty Mac @macattack_yyj]

@CPC_HQ @PierrePoilievre Ol” Kat Swampy coming in hot with 2% lol

[Scotty Mac @macattack_yyj]

@PierrePoilievre @PierrePoilievre it will go down in history that not electing you in 2025 was one of the biggest mistakes our country has made; you speak the truth and say it with conviction, and that is a very rare thing in your profession. I pray you’re around long enough to get another shot!

[Scotty Mac @macattack_yyj]

@DavidColetto Agreed!
