The media’s obsession with “the mask” is next level.
And who do they call on? Well “the experts” of course.

Majority of Canadians : Come home, turn on news, get pumped full of fear, get told who to like, who to hate, how to live, what to eat, where they should travel, what they should support, what not to support, if they should go outside, if they shouldn’t, what to inject, where to shop, what to buy….
You name it, Canadians are outright controlled by this machine.

[L. Wayne Mathison @WayneMathison]

Watch the moment the mask slips.

An Alberta journalist asks Mark Carney a direct question: You were not elected by Canadians, yet you spent roughly half a million dollars of taxpayer money flying to Europe on a government jet. Will you reimburse the public?

It is a yes-or-no question.

Instead, Carney talks around it for two minutes. He wanders into tariffs, global uncertainty, and the claim that “nobody in Canada created” the economic problems Canadians now face.

That is convenient. The debt apparently created itself. Immigration policy arrived by accident. Carbon taxes, rising costs, weak productivity, and years of federal decisions had nothing to do with anyone in Ottawa.

When the reporter finally cuts through the fog and says, “I’ll take that as a no,” Carney replies:

“No, you’ll take that as a very comprehensive answer to your question.”

That line says more than the rest of the exchange.

It is the language of an insulated political class that believes length is a substitute for accountability. Give a long enough answer, use enough polished language, and ordinary Canadians are expected to stop asking whether the question was ever answered.

They changed the face at the top, but the culture remains the same: spend public money, avoid direct answers, blame outside forces, and treat scrutiny as an irritation.

Journalists are supposed to ask the questions regular Canadians cannot ask in the room. When a politician responds with that level of smug dismissal, he is not just talking down to the reporter.

He is talking down to the public.

@CarloColaiacovo Not complying. Reign your teachers in.

(The 🍓🍓🍓🤣 at the end)…

Karen earns $995 today.

Before she sees a penny, roughly $533 disappears in marginal federal and provincial income tax.

She fills her tank. Another $15.75 in fuel taxes and HST.

She buys a pack of cigarettes. About $10 goes to taxes.

A $20 bottle of wine to take the edge off? Another $3+ in taxes and levies.

Dinner? $3.90 in HST.

Every single month she quietly pays HST on her phone, internet and streaming services. She pays $6,000 a year in property tax just to continue living in a home she already bought with after-tax income. Part of every insurance premium is insurance premium tax. Hidden in almost everything she buys are corporate taxes, commercial property taxes, development charges, licensing fees and tariffs that businesses simply pass along in the price.

She books a vacation. Airport Improvement Fees. Security charges. More taxes.

She invests what’s left. If it grows, she pays capital gains tax. If it pays dividends, she pays dividend tax.

Then one day Karen dies.

Her family discovers there isn’t technically a “death tax” in Canada—but her estate is treated as though she sold almost everything the moment she died. Capital gains become taxable, final income tax is due, and in Ontario her estate pays probate fees before her family receives what’s left.

Karen’s money was taxed when she earned it, taxed while she spent it, taxed while she invested it, taxed while she owned things, and taxed one final time when she died.

But don’t worry.

Karen refuses to buy American strawberries because she’s bravely protesting the tariffs the U.S. charges on their imports.

After paying roughly $687 in taxes and government fees on a $995 workday, she’s finally taking a stand against someone else’s tax policy. 🇨🇦💪

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

During the Iranian Revolution, leftist students, communists, and Muslims were all united in overthrowing the Shah.

The leftists celebrated when Khomeini returned in 1979. They thought they defeated capitalism and imperialism. It didn’t last long.

Around 30,000 leftists who helped the Islamic regime consolidate power were soon executed. That’s where the term “useful idiot” comes from.

They served their purpose and were no longer needed. Muslims had always despised their progressive ideals and couldn’t wait to get rid of them.

One of the women celebrating in the picture was killed, the other fled the country for her life.

It’s bizarre that almost 50 years later, Western leftists are making the exact same mistake and allying with Muslims. They will have the same fate.

I don't think most Canadians appreciate that there truly are dinner parties filled with people drinking $50 wine, eating boutique charcuterie and discussing the paper-pushing jobs they hold at an anti-poverty non-profit.

82 yrs ago this morning
Over 10,000 that started the day with this view sadly didn’t finish it
Avg age of a Canadian soldier was 22 yrs old
Youngest US soldier was 17
Canada pushed farther inland than any ally
Courage and heroism had different meanings back then…
Lest we forget

[Ryan Gerritsen🇨🇦🇳🇱 @ryangerritsen]

Carney posted today that it’s been a year since the swearing in of his “new Government”
I added a clip from that very day where he famously said “Canadians will hold account by their experience at the grocery store, when they’re paying their electricity bill, when they or their children are looking for a place to live”
In that year our groceries have only gotten more expensive, electric bills have gotten higher & less people can afford homes. Now is the time for Canadians to hold him accountable.

[Marc Emery @MarcScottEmery]

This fellow is a good ole’ Canadian boy and he speaks a simple truth.

What the fuck are all these cast offs from the world’s worst places doing in Canada?

[Andrew Lawton @AndrewLawton]

For decades, Don Cherry has celebrated hockey, honoured veterans, and said what millions think — without apology.

I am nominating Don Cherry for the Order of Canada. I want to show the Governor General how many Canadians support Grapes. Sign if you do! https://t.co/wOfgbtCxO0

[Christine Van Geyn @cvangeyn]

The number of people who would willingly submit to authoritarian policies because the government tells them it is to keep them safe is really depressing.

I’m being told @netflix is handing these out at Fanatics Fest. Hilarious.

[Tristin Hopper @TristinHopper]

It is ... remarkable ... that Canada is just going right back to a government that flamboyantly ruined everything it touched for 10 consecutive years. This is the most Third World thing we've ever done.

[Today In History @historigins]

5 years old - Mom, I love you.

12 years old - Mom, I can't stand you.

16 years old - My mother is very annoying.

18 years old - I'm leaving this house.

25 years old - Mom, you were right.

30 years old - I want to go to my mom's house.

50 years old - I don't want to lose my mother.

70 years old - I would give up everything to have my mom here with me.

You only have one mom. Take care of her while she's still alive.

[End Wokeness @EndWokeness]

Canada will be much easier to invade with a liberal in charge. Roll in those tanks.

[Ari Goldkind @AriGoldkind]

Free lunch. Free rent. Free healthcare. Free representation without a dollar of taxation. Free Hamas membership. Free baby bonuses. Free catering to you, instead of you to us.

[Fake Mark Carney @MarkCarney_Ego]

Hey Canada, one last thing before I leave office.

F*ck you.

I've spent a decade destroying this country, dividing Canadians, and leaving us vulnerable by not developing our energy sector.

I hate Canadians, and I'm the worst Prime Minister this country has ever seen.
