@sitkamedia How come Canadian “leaders” love terrorists so much?

BREAKING: Trump said today, “I’m not looking to renew it (USMCA).”

It’s fair to say Mexico likely saw this coming, which may explain why it has been working diligently with Washington to secure a bilateral arrangement.

Ottawa likely knew as well, but instead seemed more interested in pouting than preparing for what was ahead.

They ruled Iryna’s killer is incompetent to stand trial.

The same system ruled this man was plenty competent enough to be released back into society dozens of times.

It’s past time to remove these left wing activist judges.

Avi Lewis, the leader of the Federal NDP party in CAnada wants a global income tax, to redistribute wealth equally across the planet.

He's either truly evil, or absolutely retarded. It's not both.

Either way, he shouldn't be anywhere near the levers of power.

@CloudRunner03 @JayGenXer You are soooo wrong Cloud Runner. Not only do people vote for this, but they also harass people who do not vote for this….

Many outside Etobicoke won’t know this, but the city opened a ‘Somalian only’ community centre paid for by all taxpayers.

They kept that really, really quiet.

The U.S. denied him entry because they say he has links to the Islamic terrorist group, Al-Shabaab.

So it's perfectly on-brand for Canada to welcome him in, no questions asked.

Marc Miller introducing the “Safe social media act”

The Government of Canada is banning kids under 16 from social media platforms.

More Government control over our lives is being ushered in under the guise of safety. This entire announcement was filled with nothing but endless fear. Clearly to convince Canadians that this is a good idea. Parenting be damned.

OUTRAGEOUS

The Carney Govt BACKDATED the "spaceport" lease FUNNELLING $20M tax dollars to the nearly-bankrupt Maritime Launch Services for NO WORK.

After this BAILOUT the Board Chair IMMEDIATELY SOLD his previously worthless shares POCKETING $1.8 MILLION.

TOTAL CORRUPTION.

People adapt to the slow boil… until they don’t.
EXPLAINED IN SIMPLE TERMS with example:
Inflation in Canada is often a tool to keep trade competitive. Instead of slashing salaries (which sparks unions, strikes, and outrage), policymakers target 2% inflation (1-3% range). Nominal paycheques stay similar, but real wages erode gradually. Workers get used to it.

Example: Sarah, a Toronto auto parts worker earning $60k in 2022. Her factory competes with Mexico and China.

• Open pay cut to $55k? Rage and headlines.
• Instead: 2022-23 inflation hits 6-8%, then settles at 2%+. Her pay rises modestly to $63-65k with “raises,” but groceries, rent, and gas jump 15-25% cumulatively. Real purchasing power drops to ~$55k equivalent.

No confrontation. The factory’s real labour costs fall. Canadian exports (autos, oil, lumber) stay viable versus global rivals. A weaker CAD helps too.

Table of the slow boil:
Year | Nominal | Real (approx)
2022: $60k → $60k
2023: $62k → $58.5k
2024: $63.5k → $56k
2025: $65k → $55.5k

She notices “everything’s more expensive” and blames supply chains — not policy.

Why? Inflation shrinks the federal debt burden without tax hikes. Spend big today; inflation pays tomorrow.

Canadians feel it in stagnant living standards despite “growing” paycheques. A hidden tax transferring wealth upward without a vote.

[Chris Wick @ChrisWickNews]

Had a friend come up to Canada from the U.S. this week…

By day two, something shifted.

They stopped commenting on the scenery…
and started looking at price tags.
Groceries? Silence.
Gas? A long pause.
Basic living? Just a quiet “how do people do this?”

By the end of the trip, they said something that stuck with me:
“This doesn’t feel sustainable.”
Not political.
Not dramatic.
Just… honest.

And that’s the part that lingers.

Because when someone from the outside sees it this clearly, you start wondering—

Have we just gotten used to it?
At what point does “normal” stop being normal?
Curious what others are seeing right now… is it getting harder where you are too?

When Canada was in the way of money, he did the most sensible thing... He became Prime Minister!

All the pieces were always there, the blueprint was sketched out by Carney before he ever became PM.

If you’re not following @vesperdigital , you need to be.

He has been doing a serious deep dive into Mark Carney’s Brookfield connections, the policy implications, and the mechanisms that make those connections matter.

It's detailed, evidence-backed research, and Canadians need to see it.
