Carney Condo Bailout: What If The Price Paid For The 2200 Unsold Condos Is So Low It Makes Sense To Buy Them?
That's what we're hearing now
If the prices for the 2200 Condos is LOWER than Build Canada Homes can develop Affordable Housing it makes sense to do it
REALLY?

I can’t even believe this is real
Canada Minister Marc Miller is questioned about their new bill under the Liberal government led by Prime Minister Mark Carney that would EXEMPT ALL MINISTERS FROM ALL LAWS
Yes, you heard that correctly
Hidden in the omnibus budget implementation bill, section 208 or clause 12 amends the Red Tape Reduction Act to grant federal cabinet ministers broad discretionary powers
Ministers would be able to temporarily exempt any individual, company, organization, or entity from the application of almost any provision of any federal law (or regulations made under those laws) that the minister is responsible for administering or enforcing, with the sole exception of the Criminal Code
They can themselves, and deem anyone they choose exempt from ALL laws. The only exception is the criminal code
He says you can trust them because “Canadians expect us to act reasonably”
(Holy cr*p)
Canadian Police Chiefs: Our officers are using police databases to meet women by running their license plates in the system and finding their info.
Also Canadian Police Chiefs: We absolutely NEED laws that force companies to keep databases about all Canadians! For uh... safety!
Spent the day in Alberta's mountains.
Had tea overlooking a sublime view of glaciers, the Bow Valley, and Lake Louise. It was great, after getting some altitude and above the Lake, which was absolutely PACKED with foreigners.
Parking was impossible, so even the access roads were lined with wandering non-citizens abusing Mark Carney's Canada Strong Pass. It should be called India's All-Access Pass. Local Albertans can't use their own damn park, let alone other Canadians. Parking for Canadians was $40. FOURTY. It was free for the bus loads of non-Canadians.
To make matters worse, the abuse of the natural environment was unreal. Garbage in the trees. People ripping tree branches down to use as walking sticks. People screaming into a livestream on a quiet forest trail to their family back home.
America charges foreigners to go to Yellowstone and Yosemite. I can see why.
Total disrespect for the most beautiful place on earth, and for the taxpayers that pay to keep it that way.
Ezra Levant: Thanks to floor crossers, Carney can now ram through his spy bill
Using his newly acquired majority, Carney’s government has moved to dramatically curtail debate on Bill C-22, the so-called lawful access bill.
The answer? It is a direct assault on parliamentary democracy and your freedoms.
Last year, Mark Carney won the election with just 43 percent of the vote. That delivered him 169 seats out of 343 in the House of Commons, three short of the 172 needed for a majority. Canadians deliberately gave him a minority government. Sometimes voters do that on purpose, wanting to keep a politician on a shorter leash and force him to work with Parliament rather than dominate it.
But Carney was not content with the verdict of the electorate. While the political establishment spent years warning that Donald Trump might refuse to accept election results, Carney set about changing his own. By persuading a string of opposition MPs to cross the floor, he secured the majority Canadians had declined to give him at the ballot box.
The obvious question is why? Justin Trudeau governed for nearly a decade without a formal majority, relying on NDP support to pass budgets and survive confidence votes. There was little reason to believe Carney could not have done the same.
Ezra’s answer is that Carney wanted something more than legislative support. He wanted the ability to shut down parliamentary scrutiny itself.
That is now on full display.
Using his newly acquired majority, Carney’s government has moved to dramatically curtail debate on Bill C-22, the so-called lawful access bill. The legislation would compel technology companies to retain user data for up to a year and make that information available to government authorities. Civil liberties advocates have raised serious concerns about privacy, government overreach and the expansion of state surveillance powers.
The concerns are hardly theoretical. Canadians have already witnessed a government willing to freeze bank accounts and invoke extraordinary powers during the trucker protests. Mark Carney himself, while living in Europe at the time, wrote in The Globe and Mail that Ottawa should take a harder line against convoy participants and their supporters. It is therefore not surprising that critics view Bill C-22 as part of a broader push toward greater state control.
What makes the situation particularly troubling is not only the substance of the legislation but the manner in which it is being advanced.
The government has introduced a motion declaring that, notwithstanding any standing order or usual practice of the House, Bill C-22 will be pushed through Parliament on an accelerated timetable. In plain English, the normal rules are being set aside.
Committee members will have just 30 minutes to complete clause-by-clause consideration of the bill. Any remaining amendments will be deemed moved and voted upon without further debate. The legislation will then move rapidly through report stage and third reading with strictly limited speaking time for opposition parties and virtually no opportunity for extended scrutiny.
For a bill that constitutes one of the most significant expansions of government surveillance powers in Canadian history, Parliament is being afforded remarkably little time to examine the details.
Professor Michael Geist, one of Canada’s leading experts on technology law and digital policy, has publicly criticized the government’s approach. Geist argues that hearings are being cut short, amendments are being rushed through without proper discussion, and the public is being denied the transparency normally expected during the legislative process. His warning is not about partisan politics but about the erosion of parliamentary accountability.
This is why Carney needed those extra seats.
The issue is not merely that opposition MPs crossed the floor. It is what those additional seats are now being used to accomplish. This is a double violation of democratic principles: first, altering the balance of Parliament after voters had already spoken; and second, using that altered balance to restrict Parliament’s ability to debate, amend and scrutinize legislation.
The implications extend beyond a single bill. Across Canada, the United Kingdom, France and Australia, governments are increasingly embracing online surveillance measures, age-verification requirements and expanded regulatory control over digital spaces. These initiatives are almost always presented as necessary protections for children or public safety, yet they also require citizens to surrender more privacy and give governments more information about their online activities.
It is a stark contrast to the vision of technological progress championed by figures such as Elon Musk, who promote innovation, space exploration, artificial intelligence and the expansion of human potential. One approach sees technology as a tool of freedom and advancement. The other increasingly treats it as something to be monitored, regulated and controlled.
This is what an unchecked majority can look like under Mark Carney: Parliament reduced to a rubber stamp, debate curtailed, privacy placed at risk and major legislation rushed through with minimal scrutiny.
Canadians deserve better.
The democratic process only matters if it is respected when it becomes inconvenient. If Parliament is no longer permitted to properly examine legislation, question witnesses or challenge the government of the day, then the institution itself is diminished. That should concern every Canadian regardless of political affiliation.
Imagine knowing all this decades before anybody else even had the slightest idea.
It would literally drive you truly crazy.
Here’s the full clip. Enjoy.
Even the left isnt afraid to speak out anymore.
This went from taboo, you will be cancelled to "red haired sex workers" are on onboard, in less than 3 years.
MUST WATCH: Apple says Bill C-22's secrecy provisions could bar companies from publicly discussing government orders.
"This may be one of the last times we're permitted to discuss the consequences of this legislation publicly."
Karen Bass and Nithya Raman enable this insanity by not only handing out drug needles and crack pipes on YOUR dime, but they also got busted dealing them DRUGS, too. That’s what all their “experience” brings to the city
♦️Myron believes Chad The Builder is innocent after interviewing eyewitnesses who saw his livestream!😲🙉
“Based of the facts and how quickly they arrested him without even having the PumpFun video I do think that more than likely this arrest was politically motivated to kind of save face..”
♦️Self-defence lawyer says that Chud The Builder will need hundreds of thousands of dollars to cover his legal expenses!😳💰
“If you hear he got the $1 million for his bond and you think he’s all set, he’s not all set.. He needs a lot more money for his legal defence.”
🇺🇸 Spencer Pratt outraised the sitting LA Mayor 10 to 1 in a single month 😳
$2.72M vs $283K for Karen Bass.
LA's 2026 mayoral race is shaping up to be a case study in what happens when machine politics meets a candidate voters actually want to fund.
Yes, the United States has the most progressive tax system in the world. The top 1% pay 40% of taxes, the bottom 50% pay 3% of taxes. We can make it even more progressive by zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. It’s a small amount of the total tax revenue but very meaningful to people in this group.
Public Safety Canada (@Safety_Canada) has now received its second Community Note on X over misleading claims about its proposed surveillance legislation, Bill C-22, the Lawful Access Act.
The government claims that all G7 countries have lawful access frameworks with “technical obligations” for electronic service providers. But the technical obligations envisioned under Bill C-22 go much further by proposing broad metadata retention requirements that have failed legal challenges abroad. The Court of Justice of the European Union has already rejected broad mandatory metadata retention measures as incompatible with fundamental privacy rights. Canadians should be asking why Ottawa is pushing surveillance powers that courts in other democratic jurisdictions have already found excessive.

The title is a term of Saad’s invention, and refers to a phenomenon of individuals prioritizing empathy over personal safety or cultural survival." @GadSaad@TristinHopper
