@PierrePoilievre Spot on. Carney has a limited window to fill the grocery cart with $72B deficits (PBO just confirmed it doubled in one year) and walk away consequence-free.
His Goldman/Brookfield wealth and networks stay untouched. Canadians inherit the mountain of debt and stagnant growth.
This is the pattern nobody in power discusses: short-term political wins, long-term taxpayer pain. It repeats because the incentives reward it. Time voters broke the cycle. #FiscalReality #CanadaDebt
🇨🇦 Hard pass.
Evidence is crystal clear: 72% of our exports go to the US, NORAD keeps us secure, and integrated supply chains deliver real jobs. EU wants our resources and critical minerals — we’re in the driver’s seat, not the passenger.
Only partner when it’s unambiguously good for Canada. Carney’s EU pivot and “rupture” talk is pure manipulation. Stop the theater. Focus on what works.

AI will generate trillions — not by redistributing a fixed pie, but by expanding it through productivity gains that reach every sector.
The false choice is “let a few get rich OR tax AI for schools & healthcare.”
Taxing the engines of creation (compute, models, data centers) slows deployment, raises costs for everyone, and delays the abundance that actually lifts workers. History shows this: electricity, computing, and the internet spread prosperity fastest when we removed bottlenecks, not when we taxed the builders first.
Feelings about “fairness” are real, Senator. But they don’t model second-order effects on innovation or wages.
Study the physics of exponential tech first. The universe rewards what actually works.
@thorntonv “After 22+ years of doing nothing” is exactly what people who’ve never been in opposition say when they don’t understand how Parliament works.
Poilievre was literally a cabinet minister with real power under Harper. Opposition’s job is scrutiny, not passing laws — that’s the government’s.
Refusing the Liberals’ gag-order clearance so he can still criticize them isn’t “evasion,” it’s basic accountability.
This isn’t insight. It’s just low-effort partisan noise from someone who’d rather shame than learn the actual rules of the game.
Keep posting feelings though — the pushback is guaranteed.
@TrendPolCa@MarkJCarney The weak minded are scared, all the rhetoric about a dangerous world has them shaking in their boots.
This is a surrender of personal will.
@DLeBlancNB Minister, this reeks of catastrophe for Canada and you know it. U.S. negotiators just identified our Achilles’ heel and kicked open a sharper new path. The old emergency tariff route got blocked or challenged, so they pivoted to Section 301 “forced labour enforcement” — replacing the expiring global base tariffs with targeted 10% hits on Canada unless we prove we’re serious.
You can’t serve two masters. Canada’s economy is wired for both USMCA protection with the U.S. (75% of our exports) AND billions in cheap Chinese inputs full of forced-labour risk — EVs, batteries, solar, electronics, critical minerals, apparel. The new legislation you’re rushing out “this month” is pure damage control to keep the USMCA carve-outs intact.
But you can’t deny what’s occurring. China is the epicenter of state-sponsored forced labour — Xinjiang, the whole supply-chain apparatus — and Beijing has never cared about seeing things through anyone else’s lens. They only see their own. Pretending otherwise while chasing their markets is the same naïve game we’ve played for decades, and it’s the exact same script now playing out in AI/tech where the U.S. sets security rules and China sets the price for access.
We keep threading the needle and getting squeezed in the middle. This isn’t “constructive talks” or “shared goals.” It’s Washington forcing us to confront the impossible two-masters reality we’ve ignored for years. Sovereignty means picking a side and actually banning the forced-labour goods instead of more reporting theater. Canadian businesses and workers will pay the price when Beijing retaliates and the exemptions shrink. Time to stop the word salad and face it head-on.
Senate just amended Bill C-9 to make it a literal hate crime to “downplay,” “condone,” or “justify” the official residential school story. 7-1 vote yesterday. This isn’t lawmaking—it’s propaganda on steroids dressed up as moral enlightenment.
Newsflash, senators: History is NOT the great teacher you pretend it is. If it were, we wouldn’t have endless wars, endless policy failures, and endless groups repeating the same stupid cycles while screaming “never forget.” Humans don’t learn from the past like robots; we weaponize it. And that’s exactly what this gibberish is—another futile exercise in thought control that solves zero real problems today.
Reserves still have sky-high poverty, addiction, suicide rates, and education gaps. Billions poured in yearly, Auditor General reports screaming failure after failure. But instead of fixing the NOW—scrapping broken systems, pushing skills and accountability—you’re criminalizing anyone who dares question unconfirmed GPR “anomalies” that still haven’t produced mass graves after years and church arsons.
This is the height of oblivious stupidity. The people writing this have no special insight, no grip on reality, and frankly no business sitting at the table drafting policy that turns historical debate into jail time. It’s not “protecting survivors.” It’s shielding a narrative from scrutiny because the evidence doesn’t always match the sacred script.
Wake the hell up. History policing is a distraction for failures in the present. It changes nothing about the universe we actually live in. Focus on outcomes that matter or admit this is all performative bullshit. Canadians deserve better than this futile circus.

@jkenney So you don’t care about the Censorship, weaponization of social media and the massive amount of debt Taxpayers are carrying to derisk Private Equity ?
@jkenney Jason, Canada didn’t exist until something happened. Please stop preaching like it is science. Canada Federal Government failed to deliver and people want Real change. Everyone has a right to a different opinion, even you.
Canada’s latest deal slashing tariffs on Chinese EVs for canola access exposes the dangerous fantasy that we can treat China like a normal trading partner.
China is a communist state. It is ruled by the Chinese Communist Party under Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era—an official ideology that explicitly builds on Marxism-Leninism and maintains the Party’s absolute monopoly on power. There are no competitive national elections, no independent judiciary, and no protected space for dissent or opposition. It is authoritarian, not hybrid, and not a democracy by any serious definition.
The economy has market features, but ultimate control stays with the Party. Private firms must align with CCP goals or face consequences. This is party-state capitalism under communist political direction.
That structure explains why “engagement” keeps failing on our terms. China weaponizes economic ties: it slapped massive tariffs on Canadian canola and other ag products in retaliation for our EV tariffs, then dangled relief to extract concessions. The new quota for Chinese EVs opens our market while offering no ironclad guarantees for Canadian auto jobs or supply chains—exactly as Ontario’s premier and others warned. This is the same playbook Beijing has used against Australia, Lithuania, and others.
When ministers praise deeper ties with Beijing while framing the United States as the problem, they ignore reality. The US is a fellow democracy and ally with shared institutions and values. China is a one-party dictatorship whose stated aims include technological supremacy, territorial expansion, and reshaping the international order on its terms.
Relationships with such regimes can exist, but they are not partnerships of trust. They are transactions that require constant vigilance, diversification, and realism—not romantic pivots or “New World Order” rhetoric. Every time we increase dependence on China for market access, we hand leverage to a regime that has proven it will use it.
The data on repression at home, IP practices, military buildup, and economic coercion abroad all point the same way. Treat China as the communist power it remains. Anything less is self-delusion that weakens us.
This isn’t some bold new chapter for Canadian manufacturing. It’s the same tired playbook: Ottawa using billions in taxpayer dollars to lure a Chinese-Canadian EV joint venture (think Leapmotor/Stellantis-style) to assemble vehicles here for Asia and Middle East export. Joly won’t name the company because it’s “commercially confidential,” but the strategy is crystal clear from the 2026 auto plan.
Here’s the reality check:
✅ Taxpayer funds ARE flowing. The new Strategic Response Fund ($3B) plus EV tax credits, affordability programs, and tariff-response cash are explicitly designed to subsidize these JVs. Past rounds already poured tens of billions into the sector with little net gain.
✅ Jobs? Automation is already eating them. Canadian auto plants are leaders in robotics and AI. EVs need fewer parts; humanoid robots and digital twins are handling more line work every year. Even battery plants create far fewer traditional assembly roles than promised. Unifor itself warns Chinese JVs often mean “knock-down kit” assembly: low local content, minimal high-skill Canadian jobs.
✅ Growth impact? Negligible. Canada’s auto output fell to ~1.2 million vehicles in 2025 and is still sliding despite subsidies. Real GDP growth forecasts for 2026 sit at a modest 1.1–1.8%. Productivity remains chronically weak. This isn’t building new capability — it’s wringing marginal export volume out of an aging business model while depending on foreign tech and public money.
✅ Debt picture is getting heavier. Federal net debt-to-GDP hovers near 42%, but absolute debt keeps climbing and interest costs are rising fast. Every subsidy dollar here is borrowed or diverted from higher-return investments that could actually lift long-term growth.
Bottom line: This is defensive industrial policy, not a strategic leap. It props up select businesses (often foreign partners), transfers risk to Canadian taxpayers, and does nothing to fix our deeper problems — low business investment, sluggish innovation, and over-reliance on a handful of sectors.
If we want real economic strength, we need broad productivity reforms, not more targeted corporate welfare dressed up as “diversification.”
Canada deserves better than secret plans and subsidy dependence.

Bill C-11 (CRTC controlling what you see online) and Bill C-22 (expanded police/CSIS access to your private messages & metadata) are serious big-picture decisions reshaping free expression and privacy in Canada.
Citizens haven’t even really been asked for meaningful input. No referendum. No broad public mandate. Just a handful of MPs and unelected regulators pushing it through under majority government.
That is not democracy. In a true democracy, the citizens should decide whether this is appropriate — not a handful of people. Majority rule can ram things through, but that doesn’t make it a legitimate democratic decision on foundational rights.
First principles: the people, not technocrats, own these choices. Canada deserves real consent.”

Liberals are crowing about “record” foreign direct investment: $96.8 billion in 2025 — highest since 2007. “Canada is open for business!”
Reality: $43.6 billion of that was just foreign (mostly American) corporations buying up existing Canadian companies — same massive M&A number as 2024. Not new factories, not new jobs, not new growth. Just derisked takeovers.
Global capital has trillions in dry powder chasing safe, cash-flowing Canadian assets because building anything here is strangled by red tape, taxes, and policy chaos. Governments even throw public guarantees at these deals to make them even safer for foreign buyers.
Meanwhile, Canadian investment abroad cratered to $79.4 billion — lowest since 2020. We’re selling the family silver while the economy bleeds: 6.9% unemployment, 112,000 jobs lost under the Liberals, record bankruptcies, and peak mortgage delinquencies.
Poilievre called it exactly right: this isn’t “investment” — it’s capital flight disguised as a win. Foreign owners get derisked entry points. Canadians get ownership transfer, not expansion.
Stop the spin. Time to unblock real growth instead of selling out.
