If anyone can be Canadian then being Canadian means nothing. I remember hearing about the 'mosaic' in school and they would say this makes Canada special. What I didn't understand at the time (and let's be honest the teachers probably didn't either) is that the mosaic taken to its logical conclusion means the death of Canada. The ultimate mosaic is simply an economic zone of many different completely foreign groups competing for state resources with no common goals or beliefs. That isn't a real country.
Carney: Canada is a mosaic, not a melting pot. And this is the distinction that matters. Because a mosaic doesn't dissolve or blend its pieces. Each is stitched to each and all the pieces hold all. And the beauty is in the arrangement, not in the blending.
This sounds like it was written by a Liberal Party internal AI model trained on an unholy combination of nonsensical DEI statements and corpo-speak slop.
"The government’s eye-care strategy, it tells us, “is guided by principles of equity, inclusion, reconciliation, collaboration, value, and meaningful engagement with people with lived experience. It recognizes vision loss as both a health and social issue and emphasizes the importance of person-centred, accessible, and culturally safe care."
'the national eye-care strategy mentions “ophthalmologists,” “ophthalmology,” or some variation of the word only 38 times in the main text of the document... By comparison, the word “Indigenous” appears 47 times in the main text...' 👀😂
"I have heard some proponents of the carbon tax defend it by suggesting that the world will require decarbonized oil barrels going forward. To be honest, Cenovus places over one million barrels a day across three continents, and none of our customers have ever suggested or even asked about the carbon intensity of Canadian crudes.
If customers were willing to pay for decarbonized barrels, we would certainly see these price signals and not require government interference.
The carbon tax escalates through time, making our industry less resilient at lower commodity prices, and will require the premature shut-in and reclamation of oil producing projects that would otherwise be economic to produce.
Much of this is being orchestrated in the belief that we can build a functioning carbon market. The reality is that carbon markets are a political construct and there are no examples of functioning, enduring, or investible carbon markets to draw from." /5
What the hell does 'top-up' mean in this context? They say 'top-up' all the time like it will trick you into thinking your bank account has a limit on how much it will hold and the helpful Liberals just filled it for you.
A one-time top-up payment of the new Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit goes out today.
Over 12 million Canadians will benefit, helping those in need to get ahead.

I think that's correct and why it makes things so difficult. I've had many conversations with older Canadians about things I think are common knowledge but they only get info from CBC and are so hesitant to believe they are being mislead even when presented with convincing evidence.
That is only slightly less demoralizing. Worse are those who believe they are informed because they heard about a government announcement on CBC and the TV people said it was good. Then they go on with their lives with zero follow-up believing Carney is smart and doing a good job, not like that mean old Pierre Poilievre who they think has power for some reason.
