"So we wasted 10 years and $200 billion dollars"

Every single Canadian worked almost an entire extra year to pay the income taxes the Liberals wasted on climate nonsense that divided the country and left us poorer and economically vulnerable to Trump.

[Lorrie Goldstein @sunlorrie]

EDITORIAL: Carney admits $200B climate plan a bust
The PM formally abandoned on Tuesday a commitment to Justin Trudeau’s climate targets he had promised to achieve in the House of Commons as late as Nov. 17, 2025.

(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. 🇨🇦💪

What would you suggest we do with empty condos that no one can afford to buy, asks Liberal MP.

Here is an idea: let the prices drop until people can afford them. Welcome to the real world!

NO TO THE CARNEY CONDO BAILOUT

[Mario Zelaya @mario4thenorth]

Ford: bails out 2200 condos in Toronto

Carney: bails out 2200 condos in Vancouver

Ford gov't: “..using innovative financing tools..."

Carney: "...leverage innovative financing tools..."

Both use your taxes to bail out wealthy developers.

Both are Liberals.

[Sam Cooper @scoopercooper]

@AlderLaneEggs Bob Rennie, the marketer the industry calls its “condo king,” is no newcomer to a Vancouver condo bailout. The city’s troubled Olympic Village — a bailout that put taxpayers on the hook for some $740 million before it landed in receivership on Robertson’s watch in 2010 — was relaunched for sale the following year under Robertson’s council, with Rennie brought in to market the unsold units. As this writer reported in The Province in 2014, Rennie went on to organize an exclusive $25,000-a-seat lunch giving developers private access to Robertson, an arrangement that drew outrage as a case study in how real-estate money fills a governing party’s coffers. A decade on, Rennie has, by his own on-record account, lobbied Carney on a plan to have the federal housing agency backstop foreign-investor condo purchases, ahead of Carney’s federal election win. He has also hosted Liberal fundraisers featuring Carney as guest — one last February, a month after the Prime Minister returned from Beijing and announced a new strategic partnership with China.
None of this is alleged corruption. It is documented proximity.
Pierre Poilievre put it more bluntly. Carney, he said, “seems to have a bailout for anyone who’s part of the Liberal club of power brokers, corporate insiders and lobbyists.” He is the opposition leader — but the logic is hard to dispel. Carney has been lobbied by, and has filled his fundraising coffers at events hosted by, Vancouver developers who prospered selling condos into offshore demand, whose most prominent figure has pressed him to keep that market open, even at prices far beyond what Canadians earn.

[Mario Zelaya @mario4thenorth]

We have a generational deficit.

Our currency is getting destroyed.

We have no money.

We have a national crime crisis.

The Bishnoi gang says they have 1000 shooters in Canada.

And the Liberals thought it’d be a great idea to give money to Haiti for THEIR gang crisis?

[Lion Advocacy @LionAdvocacy]

Folks are slowly waking up to what the Liberals have done, are doing, & will continue to do. But now, it may be too late: they are strangling the communication lines, the freedoms we’ve taken for granted since Confederation. Political opponents will be labeled foes, & monitored.

[tobi lutke @tobi]

These bills, along with C-22 and C-9 constitute a total erosion in Canada’s basic liberties. They interlock into making Canada essentially unviable for those with choices on where to build.

[Mario Zelaya @mario4thenorth]

This is the Prime Minister of Canada that just passed a law telling you how to raise your kids.

I’m good bro.

[Canada Proud @WeAreCanProud]

The shooting at the consulate was conducted by a pro-Iran terror group called Kata’ib Hizballah.

Now a police officer has been murdered while trying to investigate their actions.

When will the government start taking these terrorist threats seriously?

[Mario Zelaya @mario4thenorth]

Things Liberals made illegal for your kids:

😡 Social media

Things Liberals made legal for your kids:

😊 Gender transition
😊 Safe supply sites

I’m good bro.

I don’t need these lunatics telling me how to raise my kids.

[Mario Zelaya @mario4thenorth]

🇨🇦Bring back the death penalty:

Shoot & kill a police officer? You die

Murder for hire? You die

Terrorism that results in death? You die

Rape a child: You get castrated.
Do it again? You die.

You do what Paul Bernardo did? You die.

Kill multiple people? You die.

[Mario Zelaya @mario4thenorth]

A 43 year old Toronto Police constable is dead.

Shot this morning during warrant tied to a string of GTA shootings, including one outside the U.S. Consulate.

Here is the country he served:

-24 Iranian officials identified as a part of a terror group (only 1 deported)
-The Bishnoi gang, designated a terrorist entity, claims 1,000 gunmen on Canadian soil.
-38 international criminal tourism suspects named publicly by Durham police last week
-30,000+ deportation orders in CBSA backlog

Canadian officers are sent into doors not knowing whether the person on the other side is on a list our government refuses to enforce.

Today, the Liberal political class will offer thoughts and prayers.

The questions they need to answer are simple:

Did THEY do everything it could to keep him alive?

Did our Safety Minister keep him safe?

[Greg Brady @gregbradyx]

I’m trying to think of a foreign democracy that will simply give me tens of thousands of dollars in grants, & I get it whether I finish the degree I’m getting the grant for, & I get it whether I can find work or not.

This isn’t even debated in most of these countries. Want to come to school in Japan or Spain? We can talk about loans - we don’t give grants. And we don’t guarantee a job. That’s life.

But Canada? We’re being “discriminatory”? It’s unreal.

[Marc Nixon @MarcNixon24]

The Liberals think the people suffering most are those receiving government cheques.

They’re not.

It’s the family with TWO parents working full-time.

The family paying 43% tax.

The family watching groceries, rent, insurance, property taxes and utilities explode.

The family making too much to qualify for help and too little to get ahead.

Canada is punishing work.

[Adam Zivo @AdamZivo]

Strange, I don’t recall the CBC condemning the “politicization” of George Floyd’s murder by the far left.

🚨 APRIL 2025 — BEFORE CARNEY WAS EVEN SELECTED

This woman had inside access to his Davos/WEF circle. She was the contrarian voice in the room. She traveled with them. She still had a seat at the table when she dropped this:

Desiree Fixler warned:
•Carney isn’t telling the truth about the affordability crisis.
•Carney isn’t telling the truth about the climate hoax.
•He will shrink the economy — just like Germany’s Green Deal disaster.
•He’ll come for your freedoms: what you drive, how you heat your house, your right to speak, debate, dissent, and protest.
•He wants a CBDC so government can have “full control on your life and spit you right out of society.”
•“His brand is crisis. And he’s manufacturing the one.”
•She called him a natural resource thief in a country this rich in resources.

She begged Canadians: Don’t vote for him if you value democracy or economic prosperity.

She warned us, the left didn’t listen!

Now?

Canada is in a RECESSION!

The data is in. The pain is real. And Carney is in charge.

This video was before he was placed to lead the Liberals.

The warnings from people who knew him best were crystal clear.

Ignored.

Are Torontonians and Canadians finally waking up to what insiders were saying all along?

Or are we still pretending this was all a surprise?

[The Real Mr Bench @therealmrbench]

The Globe and Mail is now running opinion pieces about cutting elderly benefits because Canada faces “crippling debt.”

Perfect.

Not cut bureaucracy.

Not cut consultants.

Not cut foreign aid.

Not cut corporate welfare.

Not cut the Liberal spending machine.

Not cut the political class that created the debt bomb.

No.

Cut grandma.

That is how this always works.

Trudeau, Freeland, Carney, and the Liberal Party help bury Canada under debt.

Then the establishment media starts preparing Canadians for the “unpopular” solution.

The people who built the mess never pay.

The elderly get handed the invoice.

Canada was robbed by incompetence.

Now seniors are being told to sacrifice.

Brilliant system.
