@BissonnetteRene If we went 100% electric tomorrow, it would overload the grids and would be total chaos. The world currently depends on 80% of their energy from fossil fuels. We are decades, perhaps a century away from making that a reality.
@gator_gum Yet here he is living rent free in your head. You mention him several times daily and he isn’t even the one in power. Liberals have a majority, or haven’t you heard?
You are not defending facts, you’re gaslighting Canadians who can’t afford $81.52 for three steaks while the Liberals’ decade-long economic wrecking crew has turned grocery bills into a monthly crisis.
Since Justin Trudeau took office in 2015, the Liberals have delivered nine straight deficits. They doubled federal debt from roughly $612 billion to over $2.3 trillion (now pushing toward $2.9 trillion under Carney). Every Canadian now carries about $56,000 in per-person federal debt. The Fraser Institute confirms the average family hands over 43.1% of its income to taxes at all levels, Tax Freedom Day landed on June 8 last year. That’s half the year just feeding the government before you buy a single steak or bag of groceries.
This isn’t “global headwinds.” It’s deliberate policy. The Liberals supercharged the Temporary Foreign Worker Program without matching housing or infrastructure, flooded the labour market, suppressed wages for Canadians, and drove rental and food demand through the roof. They rammed through Bill C-69 and the Impact Assessment Act, stalling over $670 billion in resource projects and killing jobs in energy and mining, the very sectors that keep supply chains humming and costs down. They imposed carbon taxes that raised energy and transport costs passed straight to consumers and farmers.
The result? StatsCan and the Canada Food Price Report 2026 project a family of four spending up to $17,572 on groceries this year, nearly $1,000 more than last, with prices 27% higher than five years ago. Food inflation has run 4-6% (twice the U.S. rate in stretches), food bank visits hit records, and one in ten households is food-insecure. Meat prices, in particular, have surged under these pressures.
We even hit a technical recession, Q4 2025 and Q1 2026 GDP contraction, while per-capita GDP stagnated and productivity lagged the U.S. by 27-30%. Real wages eroded exactly because Liberal spending, regulation, and tax-and-spend ideology fueled inflation that grocery shelves still reflect.
Now enter Mark Carney, sworn in as Prime Minister in March 2025 after Trudeau quit. He won the leadership and kept the Liberals in power through the 2025 election cycle. Canadians were promised competence from the ex-Bank of Canada/England governor and Brookfield insider. What did we get? The same technocratic playbook with a corporate polish.
He scrapped the consumer carbon tax as a late admission it hammered families, but kept the industrial carbon pricing that still flows through the food supply chain. He tightened caucus control, yelled at MPs raising real regional concerns, bypassed riding associations, and pushed FOI shields, treating Parliament and provinces like obstacles instead of partners. Deficits and debt keep climbing. The technical recession rolled on. Grocery inflation accelerated in 2025 with import costs, energy pressures, and lingering regulatory overhang from the Trudeau era he inherited and refused to fully dismantle.
Food Price Report 2026 still forecasts 4-6% rises, meat up 5-7%, and families paying hundreds more while Carney talks middle-class tax cuts and housing targets that haven’t delivered relief at the till.
Carney isn’t fixing the mess, he’s managing it with the same big-government, net-zero-obsessed framework that created it. His pragmatic tweaks are band-aids on the structural damage: endless deficits crowding out private investment, regulatory chokeholds on domestic production, and immigration decoupled from capacity. That’s why steaks cost what they do today.
Evidence over ideology. Citizens first. Demand better, scrap the remaining punitive carbon framework, deregulate housing and resources, tie immigration to real infrastructure and high-skill needs, and restore fiscal sanity before another generation pays for this decade of Liberal failure.

@CheriDiNovo I have a bigger question. If he is a shoe in for the conservatives to never form a majority government, why are people who don’t want conservatives getting a majority so inclined to have him removed? Make that make sense!
@RodAVanier Bet you wouldn’t say that when someone breaks into your house and have their way with your wife and daughter while you cower in the corner.
@alleria_eh@01Waller Why would they have to be really far right to have a Pierre sticker? Are you saying left leaning people would never have that bumper sticker? 🤦🏻♂️
@alleria_eh Why would you? Is he running the country into the ground? Maybe give him the reigns and let him run it for a while, then the left can start making t-shirts and flags too.
@terry_truchan Okay? What does that have to do with their profit margin? You’re talking about high grocery prices. Loblaws buys something for $1.00 and sells it for $1.04 with their profit margin in groceries. Show me where I’m wrong.
