WOW

Today Liberals voted 6-5 to shut off cameras at the Health Committee.

Conservatives wanted the Auditor General to investigate how $300 million was wasted on PrescribeIT.

The Liberal answer?

Kill the cameras.

Kill the transcripts.

Kill the investigation.

Carney promised he wouldn’t use his majority to shut down investigations.

That promise lasted exactly one week.

What are they hiding?

@JayGenXer Double stranded

[Mario Zelaya @mario4thenorth]

Liberals spent a year telling Canadians not to travel to the US.

Boycott America.

Don’t cross the border.

Anti-American sentiment was the entire campaign.

Now:

Trudeau is at Coachella in California with Katy Perry.

Carney lived in the UK for 11 years.

Carney’s family lives in America.

It was never about patriotism.

It was always about the votes.

[Concerned Canadian @Concern70732755]

Who agrees with this ??

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

The Carney Liberals did not win a majority government through a general election or today's by-elections. Instead, it was won through backroom deals with politicians who betrayed the people who voted for them.

While the Prime Minister spent the year on this cynical power grab, he has doubled the deficit, and given Canada the worst grocery prices and housing costs in the G7.

Liberals expect Canadians to give up, get complacent and go away, so Carney can have total power without any accountability. That will not happen. Our country and its people are worth fighting for.

We will continue to fight for people to afford homes, food and fuel.

We will continue to fight for safety in our streets.

We will continue to fight for our resource workers and soldiers.

I will continue to lead that fight every day and in every way in Parliament, across the country and in the next election, when Canadians will reclaim the country we know and love.

[Mario Zelaya @mario4thenorth]

100%

I was the first to call this out months ago.

No one should be getting a damn raise while we have a food affordability crisis.

If we had metrics that tied their performance, to their pay,

watch how quickly things would get done & fixed.

Our government is a joke.

🚨 BREAKING

Tim Hortons franchisees lobbied CABINET directly to ease restrictions on foreign workers.

Their argument?

63,000 jobs would go unfilled.

They didn’t try raising wages.

They didn’t try improving conditions.

They spent 18 MONTHS lobbying MPs and ministers to import cheaper labour.

They wanted the TFW cap raised from 10% to 30%.

They wanted a fast-track “Nexus-style” system to skip the normal approval process.

And cabinet said yes!

Meanwhile:
-Youth unemployment: 14.1%
-Student unemployment: 18%
-47,000 young Canadians lost their jobs in February
-A federal memo confirmed that “large numbers” of foreign workers CAUSED the youth jobs crisis

Every time the market is about to force employers to pay more, the government opens the tap on foreign workers to keep labour cheap.

Another failed Liberal corporate welfare scam.

Except this one hurts Canadians.

Ridiculous.

The pilot who died after the collision on the tarmac at New York's LaGuardia Airport was from Coteau-du-Lac Quebec. He was 30-year-old Antoine Forest. Rest in peace ❤️🇨🇦

@SchweitzerMan @mario4thenorth ACTIONS speak louder than words

[Mario Zelaya @mario4thenorth]

‼️ Heartbreaking

In the last 6 months:

-60% skipped meals or reduced portions

-53% credit, buy-now-pay-later, or payday loans for groceries

-40.5% delayed paying a bill so they could buy groceries

People are hanging on by a thread.

And a one-time rebate, won’t fix it.

@BeeblbroxZephod @TraceyKent @RTNToronto @LynetteCorbett Most of us did not vote for this

[Mary Jane Mendes @mirjane]

@nelson_c @TraceyKent @RTNToronto @LynetteCorbett Canadian students are struggling. In fact Canadians are struggling financially, including senior citizens who have paid absorbent taxes all there lives. Many can not even afford to retire.

[Paul Manning @mobinfiltrator]

These three inhuman, pieces of trash got caught and charged with (nice work @PeelPolice) sex trafficking girls as young as 11.

THEY ARE ALREADY OUT ON BAIL!

Someone help me make sense of this?

Now, I don’t personally agree with the actions of @LichTamara and Pat King, but they were both refused bail for ‘crimes’ that didn’t carry a custodial sentence in the end. Their ‘crimes’ did not involved violence. Their ‘crimes’ certainly didn’t involve conspiring to rape children for profit.

Therefore we can now assume bail is no longer an issue of public safety, but political pressure.

These three should be locked up until trial. 😡

I’m Canadian. I vote in Canada. I don’t get a ballot in the U.S.

Whether you love Trump or hate him is irrelevant to this point: our economic problems existed long before tariffs. That should be the only thing dominating headlines.

Housing didn’t collapse because of Trump. Productivity didn’t stall because of Trump. Per-capita GDP didn’t weaken because of Trump. Capital wasn’t initially fleeing because of Trump. Justin Trudeau didn’t step down over tariffs—he stepped down because Canadians no longer believed he could fix what was already broken. Tariffs didn’t create our vulnerabilities… they highlighted policy failure that was previously masked.

If one trade shock rattles your economy, the structure was already fragile.

So why are we gossiping about Trump’s personality instead of dissecting our own numbers? Why are we speculating about American politics instead of talking about Canada’s declining productivity, stalled investment, rising debt, and capital flight?

75%-85% of our exports are covered under USMCA. Yet tariffs are still the convenient villain—because it’s easier to blame an American president than to reform tax policy, reduce regulatory drag, attract investment, and grow productivity.

Talking about Trump every day doesn’t fix Canada. But reading our own economic data just might. Canada doesn’t need an American scapegoat… It needs structural reform. And until we address taxation, regulation, capital formation, and productivity, we’ll keep treating symptoms with rebates and headlines while the underlying problem gets worse.

It’s been a year.

At this point, obsessing over Trump isn’t analysis… It’s continuing to avoid and hold the government accountable.
