WATCH: Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says Ottawa is overtaxing Albertans to send money to Quebec and other Liberal voting regions:
"Alberta year after year has $20 to $25 billion that is siphoned out of our system to go to Ottawa so that it could be spent mostly in Quebec, but also in other places that vote Liberal...It is $5,000 per Albertan that every single year gets transferred out of this province for political reasons so that the Liberals can continue to spend it in places that vote Liberal."
“It could have been disastrous for Toronto.”
@FriedgeHNIC and the panel discuss a lineup mistake switching the Nylander brothers, which could have led to William Nylander being removed from the game.
If Canada wants Alberta to stay, it's actually quite simple - just treat Alberta fairly.
Here's how Ottawa could do that:
1) Fix the House of Commons so it's proportional to population.
2) Fix the Senate, so it's elected and there are an equal number of seats per province.
3) Repeal the multiple pieces of legislation preventing pipeline and energy project construction and let the private sector get to work.
4) Get rid of the equalization program.
5) Convert transfer payments using a tax point transfer.
6) Give up the "spending power" on issues that are provincial jurisdiction.
Note that literally none of these would change things to favour Alberta, they would simply remove existing inequalities to make things fair for all provinces.
If the rest of Canada isn't willing to even consider making things fair, why should Alberta stay?
Carney's budget plan is a disaster. He will run higher deficits and add more debt than Trudeau.
Carney has ZERO plan to balance the budget. Here are his deficits over next four years:
2025-26: $62.3B
2026-27: $59.9B
2027-28: $54.8B
2028-29: $47.8B
That's $225B extra debt.
They need to be held accountable, publicly and widely, for this ‘Watergate North’ debauchery. This is election interference. Where is Elections Canada now ? Chasing this down , I hope and reporting to Canadians actions taken , and people banned, within hours .
Cheap natural gas could be such a competitive advantage for Canada’s manufacturing & AI sectors but with the industrial carbon tax, Clean Electricity Regs and emissions cap, no one’s able to leverage it.
Nice piece @TheHubCanada outlining the opportunity.

I never want to hear another Liberal talk about “the dangers of disinformation” in our politics.
This is the textbook definition of disinformation, and planting lies about an opposing party’s position can never, ever be tolerated.
Mark Carney needs to take responsibility for his employees’ actions and denounce this crap immediately.
Bob Fife of The Globe and Mail on CBC after Mark Carney’s hissy fit where he claimed not to have met with people and an organization that he did meet with.
Fife explains the story.

Mark Carney was asked a simple question today by the Calgary Sun's @RickBellwrites:
"You talk about fast-tracking nation-building projects. And can you give a commitment to us that you will do everything in your power to get new oil and gas pipelines and new LNG projects included? A real commitment, sir."
It was a simple yes or no question.
Carney's answer? 498 words. Not one of them was "yes."
Mark Carney will keep Canada's oil and gas in the ground, and leave Canada weaker.
Canadians can't afford a 4th Liberal term.
Imagine President Harris taking $10 trillion out of the global stock markets in the first 80 days of her residency what the Fox News people would be doing right now!!!!

UN fuckin believable…..
“Brookfield Asset Management — the investment giant he [Mark Carney] once chaired — closes in on a USD$9 billion deal to acquire Colonial Pipeline, the largest fuel transport system in the United States.”
The lost Liberal decade is going to look like the boom decade if Mark Carney gets elected.
As Canada faces a trade war, the absolute last thing Canada should be doing is blocking pipelines and other energy infrastructure and doubling down on the insane green fantasies that Mark Carney and his cabinet (which was Trudeau's cabinet) love.
Wake up, Canada!
Before it's too late.
Here is Mark Wiseman, one of the people behind the Century Initiative that wants Canada’s population at 100 million, advocating for dropping all immigration screening - just let everyone in he says.
Oh, Mark Wiseman is an advisor to Mark Carney.
Fact check: accurate.
I have a read the book. It is a playbook for defunding fossil fuel industry and subsidizing solar and wind, all the while enriching the banker and consultant class, ie Carney and his wife and friends.
