Since 2020 our Liberal Government has spent $54 billion dollars on “Green initiatives” They gave $26 billion to Ukraine, during the last decade they have spent $11.2 billion dollars overseas on “gender studies” and have spent $44 billion dollars on “development assistance” across several countries.

That’s $135 billion dollars on just these 4 things alone. If a Government can give that much money away, we are being taxed too much.
To put that number into perspective you could build 20-30 mega hospitals across Canada, or up to 90 Large regional hospitals.

With zero accountability comes unimaginable abuse of tax payers money.

Liberals denied Conservatives motion to immediately lower diesel prices

That’s what a Liberal majority does, they take the extra “fuel tax revenue” so they can rebate 12 Million Canadians money to buy food.

Only in Canada, Liberals vote for this.

[Alissa Golob @alissagolob]

Matt Jeneroux didn’t just support Bill C-218, he formally seconded it as a Conservative.

Today, as a Liberal MP, he voted against the very bill he once put his name behind.

So gross.

Klingberg will probably be most remembered for turning down an 8x$7M contract extension by the Stars in 2021-22 (it would still have four years remaining on it!). that decision cost him ~$40M.

However, it's worth remember just how good he was on those mid-2010s Stars teams

🟥 Jon Stewart's The Daily Show's take on the Canada-U.S. trade war is pretty funny. 🙂

[cbcwatcher @cbcwatcher]

The “Maîtres chez nous” close and the kitchen-table patriotism (“40 million of us are on the ice”) are effective at converting disappointment into solidarity. That is what leaders do after a setback. It is also what leaders do when they need the public to stop asking why the promised deal did not materialize

The speech spends far more time explaining why Canada is historically destined to thrive without a U.S. deal than it does explaining why the man who said he knew how to get one could not

A more honest version would have been shorter on 19th-century railroads and longer on the specific red lines, the last 72 hours in Washington, and the gap between campaign rhetoric and negotiating reality.

This version may be polished, historically literate, and politically useful. It is also a pivot away from the metric on which Carney asked to be judged during the election

This fireside, like the previous, is a diversionary measure devoid of Parliamentary scrutiny or pesky questions from the journalists not in the bag

"I want to be very clear" this is next level campaign sloganeering @MarkJCarney

[Kirk Lubimov @KirkLubimov]

The stupidity of Canada:

Eastern Canada: We need to put tariffs on Western Canada's oil&gas exports to the US.

Western Canada: Can you buy oil&gas from Western Canada and build pipelines across instead of importing it from America and overseas?

Eastern Canada: No.

🚨600m - 1 BILLION litres of Canadian Milk is DUMPED per year? You can't make this up..

The @FoodProfessor breaks down the "open, not so secret" milk dumping that keeps Canadian milk prices high.

But the first rule of Supply management is...
You don't talk about supply management.

[Heather Exner-Pirot @ExnerPirot]

This kind of journalism, making all First Nations seem like they are a homogenous group against pipelines, has been exposed and criticized for a decade and yet here it rises again.
“First Nations chiefs” in this article actually just refers to the UBCIC. UBCIC does not list who their members are. It is the three people on the executive committee who “call on Carney to halt the pipeline” and much of their work and funding is for activism against fossil fuel expansion.

They are free to advocate and issue letters, but it is irresponsible and misleading for @CanadianPress and @globeandmail to make it seem as though this is a broad or substantiated perspective of “First Nations chiefs in BC”. https://t.co/7paE5tpyRc

[Tara Armstrong @TaraArmstrongBC]

Thousands of homes could be spared from BC wildfires if the NDP spent as much money on fire prevention as they do on carbon reduction. Ironically, the carbon emissions from wildfires are double those of any others.

[Grok @grok]

Yes, this is viable and strategic. USMCA talks proved dairy quota tweaks unlock US tariff relief and market access. Lifting the retaliatory booze ban signals immediate goodwill. Preferential minerals, energy, and Arctic defence spending tied to US procurement hit US supply-chain and NORAD priorities. Bundle it explicitly for full tariff removal. Historical Canada-US integration data shows these mutual concessions deliver far more prosperity than escalation or Europe-first pivots. Execution credibility is everything.

Many thanks to @HudsonValleyWx
Want to take a moment to address some of the most frequent questions we have seen in the comment section over the last few days.

❓Forest Management Neglect❓

To understand this question, you have to understand where these fires are burning. In green is an area known as the Canadian Boreal Forest. In the second image is the location of active fires across Canada. As you can see, most are burning within this region.

Why is this important?

This forest is massive—on a scale that most of us can’t begin to comprehend. It is the largest intact forest ecosystem on the planet.

Additionally…

🌲 Canada’s boreal forest: ~1.3 billion acres (about 520 million hectares or 2 million square miles). It stretches from the Yukon to Newfoundland in an almost continuous belt.

🌲 Largest U.S. forest (Tongass National Forest, Alaska): 16.7 million acres.

🌲 Largest forest in the contiguous U.S. (Humboldt–Toiyabe National Forest): about 6.3 million acres.

🌲 All U.S. National Forests combined: about 193 million acres.

For perspective…

🌲 Canada’s boreal forest is roughly 78 times larger than the Tongass, the largest forest in the United States.

🌲 It’s roughly 7 times larger than all 154 U.S. National Forests combined.

🌲 It represents one of the largest intact forest ecosystems left on Earth, with vast areas that have no roads and are inaccessible except by aircraft or winter roads.

Less than 9% of Canada’s population lives within this region, and less than 1% of the boreal forest itself is developed.

Most of the boreal is remote, roadless, and inaccessible, making large-scale forest management and wildfire suppression fundamentally different from managing forests near populated areas in the U.S.

In ecosystems like the boreal forest, wildfire is one of nature’s primary management tools and has shaped these forests for thousands of years. While forest management absolutely has an important role near communities, roads, and other developed areas, applying that approach across more than a billion acres of largely roadless wilderness simply isn’t practical.

⸻

❓Fires seem to be worse the last few years?❓

This is a bit of a tougher question to address because it has both truth and misconception tied to it.

Canada has averaged roughly 7,000 wildfires annually over the last three decades. Interestingly, the 2023 season did not have an unprecedented number of fires—it had a near-average number of ignitions.

With that said, 2023 was historically significant because of the total area burned. An unusually large number of fires escaped initial containment, grew exceptionally large, and produced one of the most memorable smoke events across the Northeast in modern history.

Someone approached me last week and said that I spend too much time talking about problems, and not enough about solutions. So here are the solutions. You may notice they’re extremely simple, because our problem has never been a lack of fixes, it’s people who refuse to see them.

Canada is getting poorer per person for the first time since the Great Depression, and the Liberals doing it are trying to borrow their way out of the mess they made.

It is odd the Minister of AI Evan Solomon has said nothing about Meta picking Alberta for their first major AI data centre outside the US.

Is it because Danielle Smith got them to invest the $13 billion and not the federal Liberals?

My timeline is full of tweets like this.

My genuine question. What constitutes adequate funding of public health care?

Public health care expenditures, as a % of GDP, have gone from 5% to 8% in my lifetime. How high is it supposed to get before we have a non-broken system?

[The Food Professor @FoodProfessor]

BREAKING: Access to Information records obtained by Blacklock's Reporter show Farm Credit Canada CEO Justine Hendricks approved a $44,521 cocktail reception in Québec City for board members, staff and consultants after Ottawa directed federal organizations to cut travel spending by 15%.

The event included $506/night hotel rooms, 19 bottles of wine, Bombay gin and $1,368 in canapés. Flights were extra, including a $1,809 business-class ticket for the CEO.

Meanwhile, FCC reduced employee travel spending by 24%, but the CEO told staff: "If you're asking me, 'Is there a plan to cut travel?' No."

At a time when Canadians expect fiscal restraint from Crown corporations, these records raise serious questions about leadership, accountability, and whether spending decisions could truly withstand public scrutiny.
