Son: why does Canada import oil when we have so much?
Me: Because producing oil is bad for the environment.
Son: but isn't it worse to ship it from so far away?
Me: Yeah
Son: so why do we do that?
Me: its called virtue signalling son

I’m getting really tired of people using my name for free clout, because doing so gets them engagement on their posts, coming out and doing a weird victory lap because I blocked them… FYI—I blocked Rupa months ago after she had a meltdown on my friend in a hotel lobby because he confronted her about a disingenuous post she made at an event.
I blocked Rachel Gilmore before she ever even spoke about me for the first time because she’s a mean girl, and her commentary is emotional, personal and unproductive and I wanted to stay out of her cross hairs… unfortunately that didn’t work.
If these people want me to be irrelevant, maybe start treating me like it? Instead of using my name for clicks because people aren’t that interested in them…
If they’d like advice on how to connect with people, and grow on social media (which is more productive) my email is open.
Until then, pay attention to the people who are allegedly “grifters” who actually talk about the news… and people who are allegedly “journalists” who talk about the “grifters”.
I think that tells us everything we need to know about who is actually doing real and meaningful work.
BREAKING: Canada's unemployment rate hits a 6-month high after losing 114,700 jobs in just 3 months.
Yet Mark Carney just snuck record-smashing immigration levels into yesterday's budget.
Canadians need jobs, not more mass immigration: https://t.co/bdVbqEkvsN
The biggest unreported story from yesterday: Carney snuck into the budget a massive immigration increase with the LARGEST NUMBER OF NEW PERMANENT RESIDENTS EVER next year.
Nearly 200,000 more than Trudeau’s highest-ever number year. When we have a shortage of jobs, homes, and health care.
Now we know why Carney snuck his immigration plan into a budget when everyone was distracted by the midterms and right before Parliament shuts for 10 days.
Unacceptable. This needs a real debate.
The PM has questions to answer.
Tomorrow he will hike immigration levels and announce another massive inflationary deficit. Yet he hasn't been in question period for a week to answer how will he finally save Canadians money? Or get tariffs removed? Or get immigration under control? Or stop the crime wave?
Be accountable. Show up. Answer questions. Today.
Le compteur de la dette des libéraux tourne. Mark Carney dépense et c'est vous qui en payez le prix.
Les conservateurs se battent pour que vous puissiez garder une plus grande partie de votre argent : https://t.co/qkItBOd9xD
‼️ MAJOR BREAKING: $1.6 billion was given to a company DIRECTLY tied to TWO Carney appointees.
They DO NOT face the same conflict of interest standards as MPs or Ministers.
Patrick Pichette: the guy that proposed a $500K departure tax for educated Canadians.
He used to be on COHERE'S BOARD.
He was a PARTNER at Inovia.
The same company that PREVIOUSLY co-led a $500 MILLION investment INTO COHERE.
In October 2025, WHILE ON THE LIBERALS AI TASK FORCE, Pichette URGED Canada to make Cohere its "national LLM champion, and fuel it with large-revenue contracts."
Carney appointed him CEO of Digital Transformation Canada.
And now, Cohere gets an extra $1.6 Billion?
Dominic Barton: replaced the CEO of Invest in Canada & is now acting Chair.
He's STILL LISTED AS A PARTNER at Radical Ventures, which co-led Cohere's 2025 round (per The Logic).
His own Radical co-founder called him "the most connected person on Earth."
YES. CONNECTED ENOUGH TO GET $1.6 BILLION OF YOUR MONEY TO COHERE.
Do you see it?
It's YOUR tax dollars but THEIR firms' portfolio.
TWO APPOINTEES. TWO VC FIRMS.
With YOUR stake size NOT disclosed.
THE OPTICS OF THIS CANNOT BE IGNORED!
Remember when Trump wanted Canada more aligned on trade policy/tariff walls against adversaries, defending our SHARED border… and Canadians lost their minds over it and started boycotting America? Calling them a threat to our sovereignty?
And then… when the EU President wanted canada more aligned on policy, parliament, governance, and courts, and tariff policy… Canadians cheered and talked about how much progress was being made?
I remember…
In the real world, Canadians can’t afford anything. Food, fuel, rent, mortgages.
Mark Carney promised to make it better. Everything is worse.
Today, he and the Liberals are distracting Canadians again with yet another grand summit about Europe. Big talk. What’s the result?
Not one tariff reduced. Not one of the nine European holdout countries has ratified the trade agreement Canada already has with them. Barriers to Canadian beef and pork exports to Europe remain. And now the EU is threatening a carbon tariff on Canadian steel, aluminum, cement and other goods.
Worse, there was lots of talk at the summit about aligning Canada with the insane European taxes, debt, immigration and anti-oil and gas policies that have left parts of Europe bankrupt and burning.
Does any of this lower your mortgage payments, rent, grocery bills or gas prices, back here in the real world?
Of course not.
Time to get real. We have mouths to feed. Bills to pay. Crime to stop. Borders to secure. And money to save.
Mark Carney's fuel standard tax is charging Canadians, and giving it to American corporations.
Conservatives will scrap this stupid tax to save you money and put Canada First: https://t.co/n5sYnbgurb
Carney and entourage drop $175,000 on airplane food during one international trip.
Carney has spent about $1 million on airplane food since becoming prime minister.
They live the high life. You pay the tab.
How long will this theatre go on?
While Canadians can’t afford food and homes, Mr. Carney has distracted for months with big talk about “Associate Membership” with Europe. Now, Europe has rejected it.
For the next two days, we will be distracted again from the cost-of-living crisis with wall-to-wall media coverage on yet another grand theatrical meeting to sign a bunch of meaningless declarations filled with big words (catalyze, anyone?) and promises to meet again to talk more. No one’s mortgage or grocery bill will come down.
We already have a free trade deal with Europe, Mr. Carney. Get the 9 countries who have not ratified it to do so. And get EU countries to let our beef into the continent and cancel their planned carbon tariff on Canada. Otherwise stop wasting your time and our money. Both are running out.

Your government didn’t dream this up.
It received it.
Carney sat at Davos before he was PM.
He called Canada part of the "new world order."
Then called that speech meaningless.
The laws aren’t meaningless.
They’re arriving on schedule.

This is asinine for several reasons. Canada isn’t in Europe, first and foremost.
Also, now is the time to assert our sovereignty, not cede it to one of the most over-regulated, heavy handed bureaucracies in the world.
Focus in Canada, prime minister.
The Prime Minister promised free trade in Canada by Canada Day last year. It was all show and no go.
We still have federal barriers to interprovincial trade a year and a half after he promised one Canadian economy.
He not only broke his promise, he also hiked taxes and piled on extra costs for Canadian liquor producers.
Canadians should be free to buy Canadian. So let’s pass MP Dan Albas’ bill to allow shipment of 🇨🇦 alcohol across provincial borders, and back the Conservative Economic Action Plan to lower taxes, cut red tape, and boost investment: https://t.co/HhDUVPoKSu
