The unbelievable luck of Mark Carney - "If there is such a thing as the luck of the Irish, then Mark Carney, until recently an Irish passport holder, seems to have it in spades. Canada’s ruling Liberal Party, which the former governor of the Bank of England and the Bank of Canada now leads, was riding to almost certain defeat in next week’s Canadian general election, sitting some 20 points down in the polls. Then along came Donald Trump with his imbecilic threat to annex Canada alongside Greenland and Panama, and the Liberals’ fortunes turned on a sixpence. After a decade in power, the party had been dying on its feet. In desperation, they’d ditched the increasingly unpopular Justin Trudeau as prime minister, and parachuted in Mr Carney in his place. But with immigration out of control, and Canada as a consequence one of only two members of the G7 to see a decline in income per head over the past five years, seemingly nothing could prevent Pierre Poilievre’s Canadian Conservatives from sweeping to power."
Robert 🇨🇦🇺🇸🌎🐸 on X - "Diana Fox Carney’s aunt is Frances Fox-Piven, a radical left sociologist at Columbia University that conjured up the Cloward-Piven strategy, think about what that means for Canada. 🤔"
Cloward–Piven strategy - Wikipedia - "The Cloward–Piven strategy is a political strategy outlined in 1966 by American sociologists and political activists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. The strategy aims to utilize "militant anti poverty groups" to facilitate a "political crisis" by overloading the welfare system via an increase in welfare claims, forcing the creation of a system of guaranteed minimum income and "redistributing income through the federal government""
Sorry Carney, but libertarians are exactly who you want in a crisis - "Mark Carney is proving once again that the Liberals have never met a crisis they didn’t think they could spend their way out of. “The capacity of the federal government to invest in the economy, to support businesses and individuals, will ensure that we bounce back strongly.” That was Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announcing an $82-billion support package at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it could just as easily have been Carney, who said over the weekend that, “In a crisis … government needs to step up.”... “It’s said there are no atheists in foxholes, there should be no libertarians in a crisis,” Carney argued to justify the continued spending spree. This offends me as both a libertarian and an atheist. In fact, Canada would be in much better shape today if there were a few libertarians in the room when the Liberals were dealing with the numerous emergencies they’ve faced over the past decade. The problem with crises is that there’s no way to predict when the next one will hit. But a prudent government should expect the unexpected and leave some fiscal room in the budget to address unforeseen events, while working to fortify the economy during good times so it can withstand the bad. This is not what the Liberals have done. They took a $1.9-billion surplus in the 2014-15 fiscal year and turned it into a $25-billion deficit in 2016-17. Rather than using trade threats during Trump’s first term as an opportunity to build pipelines and ports to diversify our export markets, they passed the Impact Assessment Act, which makes it virtually impossible to get major infrastructure approved, and banned tankers off the northern coast of British Columbia. This cut off a much-needed source of economic growth and government revenue, as the Grits implemented every lefty program they could dream up. Thus, when COVID hit, Canada was ill prepared, and the Liberals’ managed to double the national debt virtually overnight through massive wealth transfers, often with little regard for whether the money was going to worthy recipients. Then, when the pandemic started to subside, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland argued that due to low interest rates, “it would be shortsighted of us not to” continue the spending binge. And so, we got more Big Government programs that we could ill afford, while Trudeau turned away world leaders looking to Canada to help solve an energy crisis resulting from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Now, as Carney prepares to launch another massive spending spree to deal with the effects of U.S. tariffs, he’s pledging hundreds of millions of dollars for unnecessary programs, including permanent funding for the Sexual and Reproductive Health Fund to make it easier to abort babies, and $400 million for IVF treatments to create new ones in a test tube... the Liberals instituted a law to prevent mines and pipelines from being built and were then forced to nationalize the Trans Mountain pipeline in order to see it through to fruition. Libertarians would have done away with our socialistic system of supply management, making life more affordable for Canadians and encouraging our dairy, poultry and egg farmers to be competitive internationally. They would have forged trade agreements to allow the free flow of goods and services between countries, rather than promote “progressive” causes and western labour standards. And they would have cautioned the government that printing money and sending out cheques without safeguards to combat the COVID crisis would increase inflation and leave us ill suited to address the next challenge that came our way. Most importantly, they would have noted that having a vibrant economy that raises the standard of living of all Canadians would do far more to address the societal challenges we face than the myriad of high-cost programs the Liberals have instituted over the years."
Could this photo cost Mark Carney victory in Canada's election? | The Spectator - "Caryma Sa’d has captured the definitive image of the Canadian federal election. Over the weekend, the independent journalist posted a photograph from an event in Brantford, Ontario for Mark Carney, the former Bank of England governor who has replaced Justin Trudeau as Liberal leader and prime minister. The pic shows an older gentleman appearing to give two middle fingers to the camera while similarly-aged Carney enthusiasts around him laugh. In isolation, just another snapshot from an ill-tempered election. In the context of this poll, a readymade icon of everything Carney’s critics say he stands for and everything his Conservative opponent Pierre Poilievre is against. The two-finger salute has already become a meme. Legal scholar Yuan Yi Zhu tweeted the image with the caption: ‘The last thing you see before you are priced out of a house, forever.’ The YouTuber JJ McCullough combined it with a graph ranking real GDP-per-capita growth in OECD countries since 2015 — when the Liberals came to power — with Canada second from bottom. On Reddit, the man’s raised arms (and fingers) were mocked up as a Liberal poster complete with the slogan ‘elbows up’, a reference to Saskatchewanian hockey great Gordie Howe, a burly fellow prone to giving opponents the cubital treatment. (The term made a comeback in response to Donald Trump’s tariffs and threats to annex Canada, with Liberals in particular using it to rally the Canuck fighting spirit.) What might have been a fleeting moment of political bravado has been immortalised by Canada’s millennial and Gen Z Tories as the embodiment of boomer liberalism. Yes, I said millennial and Gen Z Tories. Electoral dynamics are a little topsy-turvy in the True North. As I noted on Coffee House last year, a significant segment of young’uns trend rightwards in Canada while the olds are the backbone of the centre-left vote. The election, which takes place on Monday, is forecast for a Liberal victory, with Carney’s Grits polling at 43 per cent to 37 per cent for Poilievre’s Tories. The crosstabs, however, reveal a stark generational divide. If the franchise was limited to 18-to-34 year olds, the Conservatives would narrowly win the contest; if only over 65s could vote, the Liberals’ victory would be even mightier. What’s that all about, then? In a word: boomers. The boomer, born roughly between 1946 and 1964, is the bête noire of Canadian right-wingery. He is a retired government employee on a generous public pension who came of age in times of plenty, bought his spacious house on the cheap, then pulled the ladder up behind him. He imagines himself to be an ageing hippie but grew up in North York in the Sixties where the closest he got to the counterculture was buying the White Album from Sam the Record Man. He watches, listens, streams and surfs the CBC. The progressive-minded public broadcaster is the source of all his independent thinking and Facebook the soapbox from which he regurgitates chapter and verse of last night’s edition of The National. If the CBC were a church, he would be a lay preacher. The Carney boomer reckons the young are lazy and entitled, Tory voters racist and stupid, and Americans crazy and tacky. He believes above all in the three most important Canadian values: peace, order and asset-hoarding. And his grandchildren have had it with gramps. As a young man, in the 1970s, he was hosed down with public spending and services by Trudeau père, and in the past decade, in his golden years, by Trudeau fils. His idea of paying it forward was to vote to ramp up immigration, stymie housebuilding, and shift the tax burden onto young workers. Between 1972 and 1976, at the height of Trudeaupia, housebuilding kept pace with demography, with annual population growth of 298,864 and annual housebuilding starts of 249,045. Compare this to 2022-24, the final years of Trudeaupia II, when the population shot up by 1,006,142 per annum — mostly thanks to immigration — but housebuilding starts languished at 249,161. (No, you’re not misreading that. Canada, with a population today of 41.5 million, is building the same number of houses per year as it did when the population was 23 million.) In 1980, the median family income was $23,894 (£12,917) and the median house price $47,200 (£25,000) but while the median family income hit $96,220 (£52,000) in 2020, the median cost of a house soared to $336,900 (£182,000). Little wonder that homeownership is going backwards: while 44.1 per cent of 25-to-29 year olds owned a home in 2011, that figure was down to 39.6 per cent by 2021. If only they hadn’t splurged so much on avocado toast. Boomers are going out of this world the way they came into it, on easy street, and whatever else might be said of them, they turn out to thank their benefactors at the polls. Since the mid-1960s, the Liberals have been in power for two-thirds of the time. The party is well aware where its support comes from, which is why Carney’s messaging is overtly targeted at seniors, complete with endorsements from fellow boomers and occasional Canadians Mike Myers and Neil Young, plus pledges to protect retirees’ savings from the impact of Trump’s tariffs... Poilievre’s Conservatives are targeting working Canadians with promises to build 2.3 million new homes, cut taxes for first-time buyers, slash immigration and deport criminal migrants, and take an axe to federal spending. This is the platform that is winning over a considerable number of millennials and zoomers, while the baby boomers are flocking to the party of big-government progressivism."
Federal Finance Committee endorses end to religious charitable status - BC Humanist Association - "a Parliamentary committee recommended Canada end automatic charitable status for religious groups, mirroring recommendations from the BC Humanist Association (BCHA)... Further, the Committee also recommends the government "No longer provide charitable status to anti-abortion organizations" (Recommendation 429)"
Canada’s sleeper election issue: the loss of charitable status for religious organizations - "The potential loss of charitable status for religious charities might be the biggest sleeper issue in the federal election. The Liberal government proposed the change and only Conservatives opposed... The recommendations shocked religious charities, which are thought to comprise 40 per cent of Canada’s 85,600 charities. Disturbingly, the government neither consulted the affected charities, nor gave them a rationale... One needn’t be religious to see the harm in such uncharitable changes to Canada’s charitable sector. Last November, researcher Mike Wood Daly wrote an article for the think tank CARDUS entitled, “Why Religious Tax Exemptions Benefit All Canadians.” The paper points out the numerous benefits religious congregations provide, such as providing space, often at cheap rates, for events. They often also house programs and services such as addiction recovery, counseling, and mental health services, childcare, refugee sponsorship, and settlement services. The “Halo Effect” of the socio-economic impact of these congregations was found to be 10.47 times the value of tax exemptions received, including property, GST, and income taxes. Even after such tax exemptions are considered, the net positive contribution was found to be $16.5 billion. “If the Halo Effect declined by 10 percent, the loss of tax exemption would accomplish no benefit to society, socio-economically speaking, since the tax revenue that came with it would be entirely offset by the Halo Effect decline,” Daly explains. Canadian charitable donors receive a 15 per cent tax break on the first $200 of donations and 29 per cent on donations above that amount. Political donations receive a 75 per cent tax break. Unsurprisingly, the Finance Committee did not recommend an end to that."
The resulting decline in social services will be used as "proof" that "capitalism has failed", and that even more taxes and social spending are needed
Of course, if you push the left wing agenda and someone suggests removing tax exempt status for you, that is dangerous and a Threat to Democracy
Why is Trump on the front page of the CBC when CANADA is 6 days from a national election? : r/CanadianConservative - "This is insane. We are days away from a Canadian election, the leader of the opposition has just released his platform, and what is the CBC doing? Going on about Trump running for a 3rd term. You know exactly what they're trying to do here. Absolutely disgusting, I can't wait for them to get defunded."
"Trump is controversial in Canada, and many avid readers of CBC are pro-Liberal/NDP. To generate clicks, journalists will focus on topics that provoke the public's volatile emotions. Trump does that exactly, so he has become a safe headliner. It will also make the Liberal audience continue to believe that the #1 issue this election is Trump and his trade war, and so Carney the Economist is the best option to deal with him. It's provocative. It gets the people going!"
Liberals are the party of grey hair and wealth - "For Canadians with grey hair, property and growing pensions, it’s usually a joy to live here. A life of affordable property, upward mobility and the promise of valuable assets was their minimum expectation, and most exceeded it. For those under 35, this is verging on a pipe dream. In decades past, a summer job could cover tuition and graduates could expect to enter a welcoming job market. Today, paying off student loans occupies the first rung of their professional careers, before the average young person can begin saving for a house, let alone loading their savings accounts. Needless to say, accumulating true wealth through the purchase of assets is harder than ever... The unwillingness to expand the housing supply to overtake demand is at the root of this, and it will take significant effort to fix the problem. In February, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation chief economist Mathieu Laberge warned that restoring affordability will be a “marathon not a sprint,” a grim prognosis that many will be numbed to at this point. Another pillar of the rotten Canadian way is the substitution of meaningful private-sector job growth with the expansion of the public service. Between 2019 and 2023, net job growth in the public sector was almost four times higher than the private. During those same years in British Columbia, private-sector employment grew less than five per cent, while the number of government jobs increased by over 20 per cent... The Canadian economy is not attractive to private investment when compared to the United States. Donald Trump’s erratic second presidency is an opportunity for Canada to become a freer and more desirable place to do business. But regrettably, federal and provincial governments continue to over-regulate key industries and drive investment away in areas like the resource sector... Since the COVID-19 pandemic, public-sector employees have abandoned in-office work in droves, and undertaken job action to ensure it remains that way. This has left downtown Ottawa bereft of people and vibrancy. The result is urban blight, plain and simple. Also in Ottawa are sizable contingents of lobbyists who advocate on behalf of Canada’s many protected industries, such as airlines, telecoms and agriculture, ensuring that protectionist measures remain in place, at the expense of consumers and foreign investment. All of this, whether it be inconveniences like the price of milk or the prohibitive cost of flying, are features of the Canadian system, not bugs. The essence of the Canadian model is the specific entrenchment of wealth, at the cost of younger families and the private sector. The beneficiaries of this system are mostly those born prior to 1981, whose political, economic and social power is vaster than anything millennials or gen Z can muster. As the party that dominated 20th-century Canadian politics, the Liberals are bound to uphold the model they created. In effect, they are mercenaries for the grey-haired and the asset-rich. Since forming government in 2015, they have enriched pensions and lowered the age of eligibility, while largely standing by as affordability worsens for young people. This explains why older Canadians remain the Liberals’ most loyal voter bloc. This generational divide will have consequences. A lack of Canadian opportunities in sectors like tech will drive the most ambitious south to reach the pinnacle of their careers in the United States. In Canada, new families are reluctantly relocating away from their hometowns to find suitable housing they can afford. It means that the most comfortable segments of the population will rarely see their grandchildren."
Life in Canada, Home of the World’s Most Affluent Middle Class - The New York Times - "We reported last week that median income in Canada appears to have surpassed median income in the United States, based on more than three decades of international income surveys analyzed by LIS, a research group, and by The Upshot. As recently as 2000, median income in the United States was significantly higher. The data also show that lower-income families in Canada and much of northern Europe now make more than their American counterparts."
From 2014
Damn Harper! Luckily 10 years of Liberal government solved this problem
Opinion: Canada, be prepared for hardships not seen in generations - The Globe and Mail - "We have endured trade wars before, and in time the powerful benefits of north-south trade between Canada and the U.S. resurfaced when reality returned to trade talks. In the meantime, we need to keep as many of the lights on in Canada as we can so we can turn to our second priority: the policies, practices and mindsets that have left Canada in a vulnerable economic state compared with the U.S. and present the greatest threat to Canada’s future. Just how vulnerable has been documented by the non-partisan Coalition for a Better Future, comprising Conservatives, Liberals and business leaders from various industries and professions. Their economic scorecard paints a troubling portrait of the country. Per capita income growth is the “weakest since the Great Depression.” Poverty rates in Canada are going up, while median after-tax incomes for households are down 3.4 per cent. This economic decline measures the toll our productivity crisis is taking, which at its core is a crisis born of shrinking business investment in Canada, where “just about every metric for private sector investment looks terrible.” This is a deeper existential threat to Canada’s future than the mercurial presidency of Donald Trump. The gap between U.S. and Canadian productivity and living standards, if not effectively addressed, will be the slow death of Canada. “The one sure prescription for the eventual failure of the Canadian experiment,” wrote the late historian Michael Bliss in his classic history of Canadian business, Northern Enterprise, “would be to create an ever-widening gap in standards of living between the two North American democracies.” This we have done. Economist Trevor Tombe noted in September that the U.S. “is on track to produce nearly 50 per cent more per person than Canada will.” Another way to look at this is that the economic output per Canadian, adjusted for inflation, is expected to be about US$22,100 less than the economic output per American. “This stunning divergence,” according to Prof. Tombe, “is unprecedented in modern history.”"
Trudeau gets teary eyed while saying “we got you” and that ‘they are making sure the policies they put in place can not be removed by another government’. : r/CanadianConservative - "The federal Liberals are spending their last days hedging their bets against a Conservative majority by filling as many judicial and senate appointments as they can. They absolutely intend to prevent the Conservatives from passing any meaningful legislation or implementing any broad policy changes - in effect, you will have unelected, Liberal-appointed senators and judges steering the legislative direction of this country by either failing to approve legislation, or in the case that something is actually passed, by filing so many legal challenges that the system grinds to a halt. The Liberals believe that they are Canada’s “natural governing party” and that the democratic will of the voters can simply be ignored when it becomes inconvenient. The fact that you have Trudeau, Singh, and Elizabeth May all talking about a cooperative effort to subvert our democratic process to further their own agenda should be setting off alarm bells for anyone paying attention."
Barrie-South Innisfil Liberal candidate issues apology for controversial social media post - "Barrie-South Innisfil Liberal candidate John Olthuis is facing pressure following the resurfacing of a controversial social media post where he appeared to suggest Canada should give up on domestic manufacturing. Olthuis made the comment in a February post on X (formerly Twitter) in response to criticism about Canada’s ability to produce globally competitive goods. “Part of me thinks we should just partner with China and other nations and give up on manufacturing. I remember when manufacturing shifted to Japan. Originally, they made crap but evolved to be the best. China’s turn then India. We will provide the raw materials and food,” he stated in a Feb. 11 post."
Hope is driving Conservative voters while fear drives Liberals: poll - "Three-quarters of Canadians who plan to vote Conservative said the emotion guiding them is “primarily a hope for a better future in Canada to live, work, and raise a family.” By contrast, six in 10 Liberal voters said they were motivated primarily by “a fear of what the future holds for Canada,” with the unpredictable U.S. President Donald Trump threatening trade relations. Just three in 10 who plan to support the Liberals said hope was driving them to the polls."
Weird. Everyone knows Conservatives are reactionary who fear change and can't adapt to the future, and Liberals represent the hope of a better soviety
GTA Liberal candidate’s relations with China consulate trigger fresh concerns - "New questions have surfaced about relations between a federal Liberal candidate running in Markham-Unionville and China’s consulate in Toronto, including his presentation of an award of appreciation to a consul-general and appearing to salute the Communist flag at an event celebrating the establishment of the People’s Republic of China... Global News discovered Yuen’s participation in the two events after the National Post reported last week that Yuen also made a trip in 2015 to the People’s Republic of China, where he attended a Chinese military parade in Beijing at the invitation of the communist government... Cheuk Kwan, co-chairman of the Toronto Association for Democracy in China, said he had several concerns about Yuen’s relationships with the Chinese consulate and conduct at PRC events. Kwan said that while it is not wrong to pay tribute to a departing foreign consul general, it is a national matter usually handled by federal Canadian officials. “This is national politics. This is not something to be done by a local police officer. That’s China overstepping its boundaries. The evidence is there. We’re left guessing the motive.” “You see the line of Chinese Canadian policemen backing him. To me, that’s beyond pale and totally inappropriate,” Kwan added. “The problem is that these people see no problem doing that. It’s business as usual.” “What we’re seeing is that this is not business as usual. This is a repressive regime. You’re cow-towing to somebody else,” Kwan added, saying Toronto police officers should not go to the PRC consulate in uniform and should not be saluting the PRC flag."
Liberals: WHY IS PIERRE TALKING ABOUT THE LAST 9 YEARS, HE'S NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT : r/CanadianConservative - ""Stop bringing up grocery prices, housing, immigration, deficits, or literally anything that happened since 2015!! That’s in the past!! Move on!!"
Also Liberals in 2021: "Remember when Harper cut arts funding in 2008? Never forget."
Also Liberals every election: "Stephen Harper... Stephen Harper... Stephen Harper...""
These immigrants say Canada failed to plan for a population explosion. Now it's their top election issue - "While immigration has taken a backseat to concerns like national unity and tariffs, Valamootoo said it's top of mind for her. She wants to hear leaders talk about how they will integrate newcomers into the country. "I think the past three years there has been a lot of mistakes by the federal government with regard to how many people they were letting in."... As Canada's population has pushed past 41 million people, Canadians and immigrants alike have expressed concern about whether the country has planned enough to incorporate new immigrants into workspaces, schools and homes... "That time actually, when Harper government was there, I think everything is controlled," he said, adding there needs to be a balance between immigration and integration. "Right now there's no balance there. They don't know what they are doing.""
Damn old immigrants pulling up the ladder behind them!
John Ivison: The swan song of NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh could find its audience yet - "Last September, Singh called time on the confidence and supply agreement with Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, claiming they were “too weak, too selfish and too beholden to corporate interests to fight for people.” He said Trudeau did not deserve another chance — and then promptly gave him one, by supporting the government in a non-confidence vote . Singh’s brand was built on his sincerity, but badmouthing Trudeau while backing him in Parliament made the NDP leader look hypocritical. The Conservatives have not helped, even though they need a strong NDP. Leader Pierre Poilievre ignored the lessons of 2015 that saw the Harper Conservatives kill the hopes of Mulcair’s NDP in Quebec by pushing a ban on the wearing of the niqab in official citizenship ceremonies, a move that helped the Liberals to win the election ... The NDP’s pre-election ad, “ Fighting for You ,” featured Singh sparring in a boxing ring. He maintains he is still a fighter and will never back down. But one of the two new ads the party released last week, “ We Choose ,” doesn’t feature the leader at all."
Federal election 2025: NDP criticizes Liberal budget plan - "The NDP says it estimates that Liberal Leader Mark Carney’s plan to balance the operating budget would result in nearly $43 billion in spending cuts within three years. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh argued Thursday this could mean cuts to health care, since health transfers to the provinces come from the federal government’s operating budget. “(Carney has) said he would cut the operating budget. He’s also defined what that means, he’s said what the operating budget is. He’s said it means health care, it means pensions, it means supports for people living with disabilities,” Singh said... Singh said that now is the time to expand investment in public services because U.S. tariffs are likely to trigger layoffs and drive up household expenses."
Clearly, you can finance endless spending on debt and "Taxing the 'Rich'"
Jean Philippe Fournier on X - "Crime is skyrocketing in the country, but Jagmeet thinks the number one problem with the RCMP is unjustified use of force. Buddy they apparently don’t use enough"
Drea Humphrey on X - "53% of Canadians are Christian, yet when I asked why the NDP stays silent on ongoing hate against our communities, I was shunned by Jagmeet Singh, heckled by unhinged journalists, and called a liar who asks irrelevant, agitational questions by CBC’s state-backed media."
Rebel News on X - "Rebel News journalist @DreaHumphrey asks NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh about the blatant Christophobia unfolding in Canada, as over 200 churches have been burned following unproven claims of mass graves at residential schools. Singh refuses to answer."
Drea Humphrey on X - "SHAME: Mr. “Anti-hate” Jagmeet Singh just called the church burnings spree in Canada “misinformation.”"
Isn’t it funny how this Subreddit rarely talks about Trump but Liberals just talk about Trump 24/7 : r/CanadianConservative - "Like their entire worldview revolves around Trump and Elon Musk. I hardly see anyone here even mention Trump or Musk unless it’s a new thing Trump has said. People here are actually normal. Then these deranged losers come here and cry that Conservatives (and PP) are trump supporters and MAGA 😂😂 We barely talk about them lmfao Is Trump Derangement Syndrome actually a real thing wow?"
"Theyll never stop lol. leftists in their 20s today will be sitting in a retirement home in 2095 staring at a wall and mumbling Trump.. January 6th... fascists!!!! Okay Grandma let's get you to bed."
I’m increasingly convinced there is something very wrong with the majority of the Canadian voting public - am I incorrect? : r/CanadianConservative - "Despite a decade’s worth of mass immigration, out of control cost of living increases, housing shortages, abysmal healthcare wait times and rampant crime among other things - we’ve all seemed to collectively forget about that just because of a certain orange man in the White House and his mean tweets. I get it, Trump is not without reproach. He can and should be criticized for the things that his administration gets wrong, but he’s hardly a spokesman for conservatives elsewhere and he shouldn’t be seen as the inevitable outcome should Canada elect a Conservative government. The fact that the Canadian public would rather re-elect the same cast of characters that have shown nothing but disdain for our rights, our history and our values all because we’re so petrified of the utter non-possibility that is becoming MAGA 2.0 shows a profound state of cognitive decline in our population. Is that not the case?"
"I have friends who are jobless and completely priced out of the housing market, they are still die hard Liberal supporters and somehow convinced themselves Poilievre is the same as Trump. It is very confusing to watch the mental hoops they're jumping through."
The Canadian government has frozen my bank account - "As most of my followers know, I left Canada in January 2021 out of genuine concern that if I didn’t, I would never be able to leave. I predicted I would be targeted by the government on account of my political dissidence—specifically due to my criticisms of Covid mandates, increasing authoritarianism, and attacks on free speech by the government, as well as on account of the fact I have been the most prominent and vocal critic of gender identity ideology and legislation in Canada for over a decade now. I went to Mexico and watched things get progressively worse in Canada. My choice to leave was reaffirmed over and over again. When Trudeau’s Liberals went after the Freedom Convoy and its supporters, freezing the bank accounts of Canadian citizens who had done nothing wrong, but were fighting for their Charter rights, I began limiting my dependence on Canadian banking institutions as well. This was a dangerous, authoritarian government and I didn’t want to be left vulnerable and dependent on a government I suspected would attempt to silence and destroy me in one way or another. Despite this, I have maintained a much stronger connection to Canada than our apparent Prime Minister, Mark Carney, as I have continued to return to the country to fight for women’s rights, speak at events, visit family and friends, and to cover Canadian politics extensively in my work. I still hadn’t completely given up on the country, and with an election pending, I saw one last opportunity to fight for change, and to force some conversations that had been suppressed in my progressive Vancouver East riding. Last month, I decided to run as a Canadian Member of Parliament, and began to publicize my decision to run for the People’s Party of Canada (PPC)—the only party truly committed to fighting for freedom and women’s sex-based rights. My candidacy was confirmed officially on Tuesday. That same day, I tried to access my bank account and could not. I contacted my bank, Vancity, and was informed the account had been frozen as per direction from the government. I had accessed my account just two days prior, so the timing was clear. I had not been informed of this freezing by anyone — not the bank, not the government. No one attempted to contact me. I was completely blindsided. When I contacted my bank they refused to give me any information beyond the fact they were following government orders, and they gave me a number and name to contact. I called the number, and got a voicemail saying the employee was on vacation all week. So basically this guy froze my bank account and immediately went on vacation. His voicemail offered another extension to call, which I did. No one answered, so I left a message. I called again later that day and left another message. No one returned my call, so I called back the next day and left another message. Still no one returned my call. The following day I called again and received a message saying I could not get through on account of “technical difficulties.” I tried calling a general number, and asked the woman on the other end of the phone if she could please refer me to someone who could provide me with information about why my bank account was frozen. She told me, “I can’t give you any information unless you give me more information about what’s going on,” to which I responded, “I have no information, that’s why I’m calling you: to get information.” We went back and forth like this for a while until I asked her if she was retarded and then said, “What exactly is your job—what is it you are being paid to do with the tax dollars of Canadians.” She explained her job was to refer people who called to the appropriate departments, numbers, and individuals. “Ok,” I said. “Then can you please refer me to someone who can explain to me what is going on with my bank account.” She said “No,” and I hung up. It has now been a week since my bank account was frozen and I have received zero communication or information from the government... It also worth noting that the freezing of my bank account at this precise moment constitutes election interference, as I am now prevented from returning to Canada to campaign in my riding. I knew things were bad in Canada—they have been moving in a terrifying direction for years, and yet far too many Canadians refuse to take their heads out of the sand and see that they are living under an increasingly authoritarian, punitive, evil government, never mind push back against this tyranny. Canadians are mere weeks away from having their rights and freedoms completely disappeared, yet many remain in hysterics about Donald Trump and an electric vehicle company owned by an American man who has zero impact on the lives of regular Canadians."

One said "stop the steal" — an apparent reference to Donald Trump's attempts to overturn the result of the 2020 U.S. presidential election... The buttons were scattered in the event space in a way to give the impression that they were made and left by people attending the conference. In fact, the idea came from the Liberal war room... When confronted, the staffer at first confirmed what he'd done. But he then denied saying anything when told that CBC News would be reporting on the operation... "Despite their public claims, it's clear that it's the Liberals who are attempting to bring American-style politics to our country," said Conservative Party of Canada spokesperson Sam Lilly in a statement."
Carney apologizes for fake Trump-style buttons, staffers 'reassigned' - "Others reportedly included a “Free Alberta” button alongside a pair of handcuffs, a “Lock Justin Up” button printed over prison bars, a “Vote for Carney is a Vote for WEXIT,” and a “Danielle Smith for CPC Leader 2026” button... "
Nothing to see here. Of course, if this had happened in reverse...
"Stop the Steal" buttons at CSFN was Liberal disinformation campaign - "This comes days after Conservative candidate Barbara Bal filed a police report about hundreds of stolen election signs in her riding of Nepean — where Liberal Leader Mark Carney chose to run after the party booted longtime Liberal MP Chandra Arya from the ballot. Bal alleged Carney’s campaign workers destroyed her signs and used the wooden stakes to post Liberal signs — complete with photos of Carney signs clearly marked with Conservative blue paint, Nepean Conservative Association markings, and even nails with bits of Bal’s blue signboard still attached."
Gad Saad on X - "Canadian fan: I love you Dr. Saad. I love your work so much. Thank you for fighting for us.
Me: Thank you.
Fan: I'm Jewish. I can't believe how much antisemitism there now is in Canada. The economy is horrible. Immigration is out of control. Canada is doomed.
Me: Do you mind if I ask who you are voting for in the upcoming election?
Fan: Oh the Liberals, Professor.
Me: Do you think that the problems that you mentioned might be due to the Liberal Party?
Fan: Yes Professor but we are liberal people. We are not conservative."
You can only mock people for voting against their interests and voting for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party and then having their faces eaten if they don't push the left wing agenda
REVEALED: Inmates in Canadian prisons allegedly being turned against Conservatives - "A Conservative MP is raising concerns about potential election interference within Canada's correctional system. Larry Brock, MP for Brantford-Brant, shared an image of a document on X on Sunday. "This document was found in a prison by a correctional officer — aimed at turning inmates against Conservatives," he wrote about the paper, dated April 10. "Are the Liberals really trying to win votes from convicted criminals by attacking Conservative crime policies? This after a decade of Liberal soft-on-crime laws coddling criminals and unleashing chaos in our communities." The document claims Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre "will ensure all inmates live in the most severe conditions allowed by law and ensure justice is served to all victims of crime. Three serious offences will give offenders a minimum of 10 years.""
