We are set to buy a sub-par jet just to "own" the Yanks.
This is ridiculous.
Read the column on the split in cabinet and the freezing out of the Air Force and others in the military.

I had the pleasure of introducing @cenovus CEO Jon McKenzie at the Global Energy Show today, and while the media has focused on his description of Pathways as "unfinanceable", his comments were more nuanced and the whole speech was a banger. My top 🔥 quotes from his speech: /1

[JayGen 𝕏 er🇨🇦 @JayGenXer]

🚨 DID YOU QUALIFY ???? I DON’T!!

THEY DIDN’T CREATE A NEW BENEFIT!!!

They just renamed the GST credit that’s existed since 1991 and slapped a shiny new label on it.

“Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit” drops today — up to $1,890 for a family of four, $950 for a single person.

Sounds generous until you realize:

- It’s the exact same GST/HST credit they’ve been sending for 35 years.
- Millions of struggling families don’t qualify (I don’t, even while supporting three adult kids).
- Middle-class families making over $55k who are barely hanging on? Shut out.

This is the same Liberal playbook:

GST credit → “Groceries and Essentials Benefit”
Carbon tax → “Consumer Carbon Price”
Climate incentive → “Canada Carbon Rebate”

They cancel something, rebrand it, and act like they just invented compassion.

Carney’s out here stealing platform ideas and selling them as bold new vision while the same families he claims to help get nothing.

This isn’t help.

It’s marketing.

Tired of being played?

[L. Wayne Mathison @WayneMathison]

This is the political class in one headline:

Run the country into debt for over a decade, blow money on every boutique ideology, consultant racket, subsidy scheme, failed program, foreign cheque, and bureaucratic empire, then suddenly discover “fiscal responsibility” when it is time to cut seniors.

No. Start with Ottawa’s waste machine.

Cut MP salaries. Cut the consultants. Cut the corporate welfare. Cut the bloated bureaucracy. Cut the ideological departments. Cut the vanity climate spending. Cut the foreign virtue-signalling cheques. Cut the CBC. Cut MSM subsidies. Cut the programs that do nothing except employ people who write reports about programs.

But elderly benefits?

That is always where the technocrat brain goes first. Not because it is smart. Because seniors are easier to guilt than bureaucracies are to fire.

Canada does not have a “seniors are too expensive” problem.

Canada has a government-is-too-bloated problem.

The same crowd that told us endless borrowing was compassion now wants Grandma to pay the invoice. That is not courage. That is cowardice dressed up as accounting.

People need to think critically. https://t.co/0to9eZkBgP

[Troy Thieman @tthieman]

Wake up electorate!! Critical thinking required which seems to be in short supply these days

@222Minutes @Haggisman57 Seems to be lost on some people that this is a parody account. Lol.

[Alan Fryer 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 @alanfryermedia]

Canadians have an even bigger problem. The unrelenting media obsession with the Conservative opposition and the relative indifference to what the actual government is doing — or not getting done.

[Troy Thieman @tthieman]

Keep voting Liberal

[Brian Blyther @thetaxpayer1]

The Liberals chased away investment, but are now trying to pretend they are attracting it.

@AzorcanGlobal So frustrating watching the poor coverage in front of net. Clear the effin crease.

@GlobalCalgary A dip typically means a drop. Should read increase or ascend into red zone.

What my mother used to say:

You came here from there because you didn’t like there, and now you want to transform here into there.

We are neither racist, nor phobic, nor anti-whatever-you-are, we simply love here the way it is, and most of us came here precisely because it isn’t like there, wherever that may be.

You are welcome here, but please stop trying to make here into a place like there.

If you want here to look like there, you shouldn’t have left there to come here and you are welcome to leave here and return there whenever it suits you.

[Troy Thieman @tthieman]

@Shae_Nuge93 @grok is Chris Lee biased against the Oilers.

@GreatBig_Sea When we are so worried about misgendering a murderer, then we've lost the plot.
