I’m a law abiding, tax paying, and proud Canadian with Punjabi heritage. Raising 2 boys with my wonderful husband. 26 years in dentistry. Trudeau thinks I’m an extremist.

@HugoMonster96 @leenan05738343 So questioning the PM about affordability are “moronic questions”? What would a non moronic question be? I thought the purpose of QP was to hold the current government to account? I must be mistaken.

Maybe this is why…

[Liam Out Loud @liam_out_loud]

Pierre Poilievre opposing the $90 billion Liberal high-speed rail project has caused quite the controversy.

Likely because the Laurentian Elite who loot Canadian taxpayers stand to gain BILLIONS and they want major backlash against anyone who threatens their impending goldmine of corruption.

Let's do the math they don't want you to see....

The Base Cost:

According to Joe Carson's "Diagnosis Red Tape," for every dollar paid in federal taxes, 26.72% never re-enters the private economy. It's consumed by bureaucracy.

That means a $90B public project carries roughly $24B in administrative overhead.

True taxpayer burden: ~$114B.

There are roughly 20 million taxpayers in Canada.

That's ~$5,700 per taxpayer, so that 12 million people in the Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal corridor can have access to rail.

EXCEPT THINGS NEVER GO ACCORDING TO PLAN

Bent Flyvbjerg's database of 16,000+ megaprojects across 136 countries finds that 91.5% go over budget, over schedule, or both.

The mean cost overrun is 62%.

Rail projects specifically (according to Liberal friends McKinsey & Company) go over budget by an average of 44.7%, and their demand is overestimated by 51.4%.

Applied to Alto:
$114B × 1.447 = ~$165B.
That's ~$8,250 per taxpayer.

Meanwhile, the Liberals' projected $35B yearly GDP increase? If demand is overestimated by half, that's closer to $17B.

Now, consider the recent Eglinton subway line in Toronto.

The Eglinton Crosstown LRT was originally projected at ~$5B.

Final cost: $13B and it took 15 years.

The Eglinton Crosstown is 19km long.

Alto is ~1,000km. That's 53× longer.

The Eglinton Crosstown cost $684M per kilometre.

If Alto hit a similar per-km cost, you'd be looking at $684B.

That's obviously absurd but the point stands: Canada just proved it cannot build 19km of light rail on time or on budget.

The answer is to build 1,000km of high-speed rail?

The Eglinton's cost multiplied by 2.6×.

Apply that same factor to Alto:
$114B × 2.6 = ~$296B.
That's ~$14,800 per taxpayer.

But it gets EVEN WORSE.

Now add corruption...

The Charbonneau Commission established that mafia-linked cartels inflated Montreal public contract prices by up to 30%.

A whistleblower told the Globe and Mail in 2009 that the Mafia controlled roughly 80% of road contracts, with prices inflated up to 35%.

Then there's the "Green Slush Fund" scandal: the Auditor General found 186 conflicts of interest at SDTC, with an estimated $150-390M in misappropriated funds.

That's roughly 17-45% of the fund's total approvals funnelled to insiders.

Applied to Alto's $90B base: $15-40B in corruption.

Applied to the Eglinton-style $296B scenario: $50-133B in corruption.

Let's summarize, shall we?

Best case (on budget, on time... which never happens): ~$114B total. ~$5,700 per taxpayer.

Realistic case (Flyvbjerg's average rail overrun):
~$165B total. ~$8,250 per taxpayer.
With half the promised GDP benefit.

Eglinton case (2.6× cost escalation):
~$296B total. ~$14,800 per taxpayer.

With corruption layered on top: $15-133B more (depending on the scenario) vanishing into the pockets of the politically connected.

Also, don't forget: VIA Rail, the organization that would operate this system, currently can't run its existing trains on time.

And that, my friends, is how you market corruption and economic insanity as "infrastructure investment."

BREAKING: Canada lost a net of 25,000 jobs in January.

Ontario lost 67,000 jobs.

And nearly 100,000 people, gave up looking for jobs.

[Shaun Rickard @ShaunRickard67]

Posting this again, it most definitely needs to go viral - From the Canadian Media Summit immediately after Mark Carney's speech - January 29th, 2026.

CPAC and MSM have now scrubbed this video from their YouTube channels and feeds in an attempt to hide what was said here. It is no longer a conspiracy theory, the 'state funded' legacy media complex just confirmed that they are, and always will be the propaganda arm of the Liberal Party.

[Nana0000 @Nana00018487212]

Never stop
Posting this video. The liberals have had this scrubbed.

We need to continue calling out the obvious bias in our media and what better way to do it than with their own words. Pass it on!

[Adam Beis @adambeis]

Canadians are living under totalitarian rule.

The Canadian Media Producers Association (CMPA) Reynolds Mastin (President/CEO) & Kyle Irving (Board Chair) openly admit they'll provide "cover" for the Liberal regime.

I’ll be one to admit this interview was great. Even Vassy took a step back here and admitted to questioning MP’s on their desire to align with communist China.

[Ryan Gerritsen🇨🇦🇳🇱 @ryangerritsen]

I know many of you have seen this clip, but I just want to highlight a very important fact, the entire mainstream media machine tried to hide this from Canadians. Think about that. What else are they covering up? This clip was recorded from YouTube, it doesn’t exist now, this clip was on CPAC’s website, it doesn’t exist now. Everyone who has been saying the mainstream media in Canada is biased & corrupt was just validated in their thinking.

[Aaron Gunn @AaronGunn]

Just found out Liberal MP Taleeb Noormohamed publicly questioned my patriotism and loyalty to Canada.

Well, while Taleeb was busy flipping homes in Vancouver and living in the United States, I was serving in Canada's military.

And while Taleeb and his Liberals were busy tearing down Canadian history, I was fighting to defend it.

I will take no lectures on patriotism from Liberals like Taleeb.

[Kat Kanada 🏴 @KatKanada_TM]

The Liberal government of Canada is in bed with the media.

The mainstream media heads said these exact words:

"Prime Minister, we have your back just as we know you have ours."

Is it the media's job to have the leader's back???
Is this China???
