@jkenney This behavior with the Gordie Howe bridge bothers me more than almost anything else with the Trump administration. I guess the next 2 years will just be an endurance test until all this will hopefully be over. And then I don't want to ever hear another word about CUSMA either.

[Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 @jkenney]

This is thuggish behaviour, a shakedown to benefit the billionaire Maroun family.

Canada paid for 100% of the bridge.

If the USA wants part of the revenue, it should make an offer to buy all or part of the bridge.

In the meantime, open it to benefit both countries’ economies.

The GHG intensity of Canadian oil sands production declined for a 13th consecutive year in 2025, according to S&P Global. Average oil sands emissions intensity fell 2% year-over-year to 59 kgCO2e/bbl. Since 2009, emissions intensity has declined by 31%.

@MarkJCarney These condo homes would not be suitable for young families with children who are most in need of affordable housing. Perhaps they would be better for single low income residents, but would that be a good mix with existing owners who purchased at executive prices.

Canada will be setting immigration levels for 2027-2029.

The focus is now to bring increase immigration into rural communities, for no apparent reason.

Quebec already stated they want nothing to do with it and will decide for themselves. Every province should have this right.

CTV's @VassyKapelos calls out the value of the Major Project Office, citing numerous projects that have no final investment decision or were already well underway which the MPO took credit for. She also asks what evidence there is that projects are being built "at speeds we have never seen."
Steven MacKinnon's responses fall flat. He even indicates they are moving too quickly! 🙄
The pushback indicates that MSM knows the economy is in trouble. They are getting ahead of the impending bad news for credibility.

Feds handed out $2.8 million in bonuses for the high-speed rail project.

Every Alto train executive took a bonus.

The average executive bonus was $68,500.

No track. No route. No problem — here’s your taxpayer-funded bonus.

Another inconvenient climate truth

- for two decades Canada, France, the UK and Germany sacrificed basic energy security and standards of living to the rise of Chinese manufacturing, refining, energy consumption all driving a larger share of global trade and growth.

- as a result global, borderless emissions rocketed while Davos ‘green’ policies, endless UN conferences and vast amounts of borrowed money made zero difference to the planet.

- no one wanted to acknowledge the most inconvenient climate truth: China was pulling 800 million people out of grinding poverty with vast energy consumption and emissions while Europe and Canada posed cut economic output and standards of living for their own people - making zero difference to the planet.

The number one thing Canada can do is make up for lost time and ship trillions of its vast natural gas supply to Asia to offset the higher emitting coal that is the baseload supply of the Asian grid.

The irony; for years our ‘green’ policies delaying and shutting down national energy production and global market access have caused higher global emissions in the places we could be having the greatest impact.

"Leveraging innovative financial tools."

That's Mark Carney's corporate speak for bailing out developers with your money—for the reckless decisions they made.

Stop the Carney Condo Bailout.

[Kate Harrison @KatlynHarrison]

Between anemic QP attendance, caucus management issues, hand-picking candidates for local nominations and (just yesterday) suggesting elected MPs are only "helpful for votes", there's a pattern emerging of a PM who cares little for party politics and his teammates. #cdnpoli

We keep hearing that no one is buying condos these days. But you just did. And by "you" we mean taxpayers, since the B.C. and federal governments are spending $3.2 billion to buy 2,200 unsold condos in Vancouver and resell them as affordable housing https://t.co/uNKxO6KOXR

As Alberta prepares to submit its proposal for a west coast pipeline, don’t listen to the professional naysayer class that will inevitably pipe up.
The success of the now full TMX proves the economic and political case for a new pipeline.

When you lose sight of domestic issues - inflation, immigration, affordability, crime - no amount government strategies and international MOUs will save you. #cdnpoli

And a train where if you live in this area of Ontario/Quebec, you can attend a baseball game in Toronto and still get home to your bed by night? That's got to be worth billions of taxpayer dollars! Plus the demolition of valuable farm land.

British Columbia families will be forced to pay $8,000 per family for the Altos Highspeed rail in Ontario.

If you live in BC will you be voting for Mark Carney so that you are on the hook for $8,000 for a train you will never use?

[Aaron Gunn @AaronGunn]

This latest Liberal announcement to bail out billionaire condo developers in Vancouver with taxpayer money is crazy.

Buying up thousands of empty condos at above-market prices just to save developers from having to lower prices and sell at a loss.

This is crony capitalism at its worst.

It also doesn’t actually create any new housing units.

The condos were already built.

All it does is keep Vancouver’s real estate artificially inflated, instead of allowing prices to moderate as the market would otherwise demand.

It screws over young Canadians and those trying to enter the housing market while lining the pockets of those who’ve already made BILLIONS over the past few years.

But hey - it’s a great deal for all those Vancouver developers who threw fancy fundraisers for Carney and Trudeau!

And yet Canada has an entire industry of activists and academics telling us that incarceration does not protect society from crime.

[Melissa Mbarki @MelissaMbarki]

One should not expect that Canadian taxpayers will lose out from the pipeline. Far from it. In the case of TMX, the pipeline is a profitable asset that the Crown owns and receives dividends from.

In the first quarter of 2026, an aggregate of $448 million was paid to the Government of Canada, consisting of $148 million in interest payments and $300 million in cash dividends. Trans Mountain has returned $2.2 billion in cash to Canada since May 2024, and that number will rise as it receives higher tolls from expanded usage.

ENOUGH. 🚨

Developers took the profits on the way up.

Now Mark Carney wants taxpayers to absorb the losses on the way down?

That's not a free market.

That's privatized profits and socialized losses.

If condos aren't selling, cut the price.

Don't send the bill to working Canadians.

💰🏨3 Reasons We ALL Should Be Opposed to the $3.2B Liberal Bailout

1. Downloading risk from developer to taxpayer.
2. Pricing out the middle class.
3. Removing agency and opportunity for economic mobility.

Are we creating a class of lifelong renters?
