Today I celebrate the end of Trudeau. Like his father he used Divisive Politics. He spent our future for his present. The Country, his Party & his Wife all left him.
Good & Bad Leaders can come from any Party. Trudeau was a Bad Leader. Canada is better off without him.

Younger people may wonder why I rag on Trudeau so much. It is because I survived his father (barely). I’ve seen this movie before, and the kid is worse. Trudeau is doing a lot of damage to Canada with his Crime-it Change/Socialist agenda. https://t.co/YOSizUn1Wn

Absolutely disgusting that Canadians continue to give Sh!t like this a pass…. but Oh That Orange Man Bad …. said all the Useful Idiots. Wake up to CANADIAN PROBLEMS… Please. #cdnpoli 🇨🇦

Granular knowledge of how the Vancouver Condo Kings are the major supporters of people like Gregor Robertson, Justin Trudeau and Mark Carney was my past reporting beat. I’m not going back to it, other reporters need to pick that up. Read JWR’s chapter about meeting Trudeau in his friend’s pent house to understand who Carney is bailing out. I can say the Chinese money behind all these Liberals makes the story so much worse than a Liberal bail out of slick developers. This is scandalous and nationally ruinous.

Calgary is quickly becoming Canada’s technology capital.

More than quadrupling the growth rate of other Canadian tech hubs, Calgary is attracting investment, entrepreneurs, and talent from around the world.

Growth in cleantech, fintech, and agtech, combined with a highly skilled and affordable workforce, is helping turn Calgary into one of North America’s most exciting innovation centres.

Whether you love trains or think they’re a money pit, the federal hypocrisy is impossible to ignore. They’ll dump billions into Ontario projects in a heartbeat, but for Alberta? We get scraps. It’s not about the project; it’s about the massive, insulting double standard. We pay our share, yet we’re always at the back of the line. Enough is enough.

The Fraser Institute just confirmed: Alberta is literally Canada's money piñata for federal finances.

-They contribute nearly 4x what BC has

-5X what Ontario has

-And Quebec, that has blocked Alberta's pipelines, attacked its energy industry, & called Albertans "extremists," has extracted $429.8 billion over the same period

For nearly 20 years, they carried the country, while another blocks pipelines & take more than the top 3 contributors.

UNLEASH ALBERTA & OUR ENERGY.

GET RID OF THE INDUSTRIAL CARBON TAX.

EXPEDITE ALL PERMITS.

NO MORE "GREEN" PROPOGANDA.

There you go. The United States is built on a limitless ethos of entrepreneurship, innovation, and excellence. Canada is built on feminized and "empathetic" parasitic taxation fuelled by envy and resentment toward those who produce.

You don’t have to agree with @elonmusk’s politics to recognize what he has accomplished.

Alberta and Ontario: A tale of two provinces

@atbfinancial’s latest economic outlook, aptly titled Moving Fast in the Slow Lane, projects Alberta’s economy will grow by 2.6 percent this year—more than three times the 0.8 percent forecast for the country as a whole. Employment growth is pegged at 3.3 percent, the strongest in Canada, and first-quarter retail sales rose at more than double the national pace.

The reflexive explanation is oil, and it’s not entirely wrong. Higher prices following the conflict in Iran have boosted Alberta’s outlook, and energy remains the province’s economic backbone.

But ATB’s own analysis points to something broader: Alberta’s labour market remains one of the strongest in Canada, housing is still comparatively affordable, and growth is increasingly supported by sectors ranging from aviation and food processing to technology and tourism.

People and capital are moving to Alberta, in other words, because it remains the easiest place in Canada to work, build, and invest.

The migration numbers tell the story. As The Hub reported this week, Alberta has gained roughly 539,000 residents through interprovincial migration over the past three decades. Ontario, by contrast, has recorded a net loss of about 168,000 residents. People are quite literally voting with their feet.

That’s the Alberta Advantage in its proper sense. Not a euphemism for hydrocarbons. Alberta has oil. It has always had oil. The more interesting question is why it continues to attract people and investment while other provinces with advantages of their own are struggling to do the same.

Part of the answer is policy. As an example, former premier @jkenney’s decision to reduce the corporate income tax rate from 12 percent to 8 percent sent a clear signal about the province’s priorities. More broadly, Alberta’s governing culture starts from the premise that investment is a public good and that government should compete to attract it.

The contrast with Ontario is increasingly stark. Canada’s largest province is projected to grow by roughly 1 percent this year. Population growth has slowed sharply. Major investment projects have been delayed or suspended. Job creation is expected to be among the weakest in the country. For a province that accounts for roughly 40 percent of Canada’s economy, these are troubling signs.

This is what secular stagnation looks like in practice: sluggish investment, poor productivity growth, declining business dynamism, and an economy that increasingly struggles to generate opportunity.

What’s striking is how little of Ontario’s political debate is organized around reversing these trends. The province’s economic underperformance has become so familiar that it risks being treated as normal.

Nor is it enough to attribute Ontario’s struggles to tariffs and economic uncertainty. Those factors don’t explain years of weak productivity growth, sluggish business investment, or why Canadians are increasingly leaving the province while Alberta continues to attract them.

The tale of two provinces here is ultimately one of orientation. One province still behaves as though attracting investment, rewarding risk-taking, and growing the economy are core responsibilities of government. The other has seemingly forgotten that they are.

15 years ago, yogurt maker Chobani tried to enter Canada and build a plant in Kingston, Ontario, but was blocked by regulatory and supply management barriers.

Instead of fighting it long-term, they expanded elsewhere, in the United States.

Today:

➡️They buy about 9% of all the milk produced in New York State.
➡️They process 1.6 billion pounds of milk per year in New York.
➡️They built the world’s largest yogurt plant in Idaho.
➡️They’re now building an even bigger one in Rome, New York (over 2 million square feet, 1,000+ jobs).

That is the true cost of supply management.

“I was born, raised and educated in my homeland in the Uyghur region. And when I was growing up, they used to brainwash us every Wednesday afternoon,” Abbas recalled.
“We were subject to political studies. And at that time, the Chinese party officials used to say it very clearly that the Chinese people were subject to humiliation in the last century — China’s century of humiliation. But they used to declare that this century is the century of retaliation, retaliation against the West, retaliation against the white people. So without realizing, Canada is playing a part of China’s retaliation against the freedom and democracy. The Chinese government is using our democratic systems, our social media platforms and the politicians — Canadian politicians, Canadian journalists, Canadian academia — to spread China’s ideological ideas and, basically, jeopardizing Canada’s future.”
