Government’s response: Let’s make a new accounting system which disguises how bad it is and we’ll simply pretend it’s all roses, that should fix everything.
Pollster Frank Graves says he's seeing the worst level of despair since he began polling in the 1990s and says the challenge for the government is to provide optimism, security, and prosperity. https://t.co/92JgnMMASl via @thehilltimes

The POLICE on Carney’s gun grab: “I can’t think of a time when a legal gun has been used in a crime in this city, not one. We know the gun buyback program is going to have, essentially zero impact on the crime in Toronto” Clayton Campbell, President, Toronto Police Association

Liberal Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree got caught telling the truth yesterday. He admitted the $742 million Liberal gun buyback boondoggle will do nothing to keep Canadians safe. He's targeting law-abiding firearms owners as violent crime & extortion surges across

Your turn @fordnation
Our message to law-abiding firearms owners: Alberta’s government will not be cooperating with this gun grab against law abiding firearms owners. We expect law enforcement to focus their time and resources on real provincial policing priorities, like policing violent criminals,

“Former China correspondent”. So, can we buy Chinese goods while they are committing genocide (for the second time), trampling the basic civil rights of Hong Kongers, stealing our IP, using slave labour, polluting the planet at epic rates, and actively supporting the fentanyl

And let’s not forget, if the person breaks into your house you need to make sure you ask them nicely to leave and not defend yourself or you will be arrested for defending yourself.

Wife banned me for emailing the 3 kids with links to data on ballooning debt and telling them the apex of the existing liberal democratic order has passed and they should figure out what country they want to live in because most of Europe/NA is f&$ked.
My mother hosted a family reunion recently which I attended. Largely older folks than me I'm early Gen X and the guests were boomer and silent. They had zero understanding that they have stolen their standard of living from the future and were quite pissed that I told them so.

It is nothing short of outrageous that Mayor Valérie Plante would go so far as to silence your freedom of expression—yet she stands idly by while antisemitic hate marches are permitted to spread their venom through the streets of Montreal. This glaring double standard is a

China executed 4 Canadians earlier this year. Why? And why does it matter? Domestically, the point is to intimidate Chinese citizens by showing remorseless power and authority. For foreigners, the message is: “demonstrate subservience and we’ll stop doing harmful things.” My
