Have you checked on Gladu's mental health record? She doesn't sound stable.

Don's avatar

..perfect fit for Carney's Cartel...

If things were good these floor crossings crud’s would be shit scared to return to their constituency

Don's avatar

..hmmmm..! ya..they probably moved out before crossing.. .🤔

What is this telling us?

MPs, first of all have no sense of duty, promises, or ethics.

Secondly, they’re not stupid, in a sly-like-a-fox kind of way.

Thirdly, consider that any lieberal majority will add rocket fuel to #ABIndependence, which I suspect will occur. Especially now.

Lastly, and I say this with great sadness, Pierre Poilievre (short of some miracle in 2026) will never be PM. 😞

And I mean it when I say it; without AB votes, there just will never be another conservative government in a majority capacity in parliament for one or more generations.

It’s not fair, he and his family are very hard-working common sense people. But that only mattered in a Canada that no longer exists.

He wrote his own ticket out of politics when on the Rogan podcast, he quipped “… that won’t happen” (AB Independence. As the sitting MP of Battle River/Crowfoot, a riding 93% in favor of independence). Good thing he has such a generous pension and will be a valuable board member to dozens of contenders throughout his 50’s and 60’s. I wish it weren’t so…

The age of self-interested Marxist zeitgeist is upon us… the primary reason why Canada will begin to fracture and continue doing so. Quebec next, SK after that.

Carney will wear the “crown” of a divided Canada, but the culprits are the slight majority of self-interested Canadians who swallowed the slop that the media fed them.

You are so right. It solidifies my independence leanings and judging from the comments on the National Posts article on separation today it has many other Albertans too.

I also agree that it is so sad this has happened to such a moral and deserving leader as Poilievre is.

We obviously have no democracy anymore and I am not waiting around to become China.

John Powell's avatar

I’m too old to leave. But if I could get three mill for my two houses on two acres in the country right now this minute? How much is a green card? Flagstaff Az or Tennessee … dreaming. Well my gate is closed. Malinois is fierce. How has it gotten so bad?

Deep Bay Off-Grid's avatar

We are 65 and its never too late. VERY seriously considering alot of options of many things right now and what to do.

Ken Schultz's avatar

If you live in Alberta then you have the only option you need in October.

If you don't live in Alberta, well, the only option really is emigration. The only question is to where?

Christine Barnett's avatar

Also among the older generation. And we have seriously been contemplating SOMEWHERE in the world that would be calmer and safer. Not an easy task. Maybe Poland?? I hear they still have a modicum of common sense and sovereignty.

Hopefully, Europe will continue to retaliate, but it doesn’t sound promising. A secluded off the grid island…??? 😉

Christine Barnett's avatar

I’ve been asking that question for years now. It will be a miracle if we ever get Canada back as a respected competent sovereign country. It will take some drastic action at this point. It truly frightens me.

kate's avatar

I dunno, I read 120k people left last year, permanently. 1/2 were supposedly in the high income range, the other half? Hmmm Key west….just for the winter….Seattle in the summer.

Rod's avatar

It’s a sad state, Poilievre is a proud Canadian. The establishment are terrified of him, Just read the fountain head by Ayn Rand and it so encapsulates Canada at this moment.

Dan Anders's avatar

I shall have to reread it. I actually picked it up on sale one year ago.

Christine Barnett's avatar

Very true. Democracy is no longer part of Canadian governance. Is it too late to bring it back though. As good as Pollievre might be, the threat of coercion and/or submission is not a pleasant thought. How will the conservatives handle rampant foreign interference. CSIS has warned for years that the CCP/United Front is embedded not only in Canada, but most global democracies.

Dan Anders's avatar

Exactly. I personal have lost all faith in Chinada as my country of birth. The future looks like a repeat of everything the EU birthed over the past generation. Look how long it’s taking Europeans to turn that crapshow around.

John Powell's avatar

Argentina. Two years. But how long to eradicate the carney net zero pestilence ? FFS.

Dan Anders's avatar

It won’t change as long as he’s there. He’s built his career and reputation on his mistaken beliefs, and they have been VERY profitable for him and his cronies as well as the globalists who party and profit from them as well. It’s an ideological battle that won’t be crystallized and proven wrong for decades…. Just like the ‘Vid.

Christine Barnett's avatar

Absolutely correct! He has been groomed for this planned transition.

Christine Barnett's avatar

And that the s due to their history. They were beers tabs what is happening. North Americans ( unless you also have history or have been involved in the military), are generally oblivious of globally issues. They’ve never been involved in conflict on their own turf. That makes a huge difference in perspective.

Canada. Although vastly blessed with natural “riches” is too insignificant to wage any sort of resistance, unfortunately. I AM an immigrant , with an Eastern European background (regardless of my name!😉). And I’m appalled at the lack of knowledge and also some inappropriate comments. This was once considered one of, if not the greatest country on earth. My family has always been proud staunch supporters of our adopted country. Our home. Our children’s future.

What happened!!

Complacency. Dependence.

History repeating itself based on a failing global economy. Reference the Great Depression and the events following.

So sad.

Christine Barnett's avatar

It HAS taken Europe a long time to realize what a change democracy has become. Let’s just hope we can all get it back before it’s too late. If at all, it’s possible. It seems that Canadians are too pliable. The reason that the WEF chose Canada and Canadians. We need to show them otherwise.

Dan Anders's avatar

Yes, I have said for decades that Canadians just don’t hurt enough…yet.

PP's (and the Conservative Party's "braintrust" - a misnomer if ever there was one) fatal mistake was assuming that Justin Trudeau's ego and hubris would prevail and that he would lead the LPC to ruin by staying on as leader. The LPC did not get to be the most successful political party in the western world by just standing around and letting that sort of thing happen. They not only deposed Trudeau (he did NOT voluntarily resign, he was basically told that he could do things the easy way OR the hard way, but either way he was out), they succeeded in poroguing Parliament for 3 months to sort out their leadership mess (in the meantime, Trump decided to insert himself into the situation) and then called an immediate election for the shortest time frame allowed by law. You kind of have to pervesely admire the sheer ruthlessness and shamlessness of it all. And the Conservatives were completely rolled by the whole thing and showed that they had no Plan B other than We're Not Trudeau. A STUNNING dereliction of duty IMO.

Darryl Burrows's avatar

It boggles my mind that people want to blame the leadership of the Conservative Party who picked up the largest share of the vote in decades in the last election. You act like the Liberals just trounced the Conservatives. THEY DID NOT. The final tally was Liberals 43% of the vote, Conservatives 41%. and a Liberal MINORITY GOVERNMENT- when they were the ones believing they were in for a majority. What cost the Conservatives the election was the one thing that in the past allowed them to win - the NDP or in this case the complete and utter collapse of the NDP. They went from 27 seats and propping up everything Trudeau wanted to do so Jagmeet could qualify for his pension to not even reaching official party status. And where do you think those NDP votes went? To the Conservatives? I think not. For any Conservative government to get elected in this country in the last 50 plus years, the NDP had to do well, sucking votes off of the Liberals, splitting the left wing vote while the Conservatives came up the middle. That did not happen the last time and that is why we are in the situation we are in now, not because of mismanagement by the Conservative brain trust. I must concede however that Jenny Byrne did run a lousy campaign- she did not show Poilievre in a good light at all and she mismanaged his media access - yet despite all of that they still pulled in numbers that, had this been any other election and the NDP held its base, would have won a Conservative majority. Canadians for the most part do not pay attention to politics- they tend to vote Liberal and they frankly cannot give any compelling reasons as to why - the best response they can offer is “I have always voted Liberal”. I have heard it said that the rationale actually is “I vote Liberal because Liberals are good, and because I vote Liberal, I too am good”. I think Conservatives actually pay attention - they know what the issues are and they are a lot more invested in the political landscape. Liberals - from what I can see in all of the “ man on the street” interviews I have seen repeat CBC talking points or they just shrug and and say that’s who they always vote for. If asked to justify their support, or to expand on what the Liberals stand for - they cannot answer. Canada is Fuc#ed. We are essentially becoming a one party state and that party cares only about itself and enriching its insiders that it does about the average Canadian. Unfortunately too many Canadians are completely ignorant about the whole thing. I call Canada Canadazeula because that is the situation this country is going to find itself in over the next decade. Massive debt obligations, uncontrolled money printing devaluing the currency, inability to sell our natural resources and a fractured trade relationship with the worlds largest economy while cozying up to yet another Communist regime. My advice is sell your house and get all of your money out of Canada ASAP and if you can get yourself out as well, do so, because Carney will be moving back to NYC where he has lived for years and his family still lives taking all of his investment winnings with him along with Hodgson, and a few others - leaving the suckers who voted for him - the “Good” Liberals and the rest of us to wallow in the mire he leaves behind. Elbows Up Eh !!!

Betty McIvor's avatar

Your comment is so on target! My gosh we humans have short memories.

Christine Barnett's avatar

Your comments are taken. However, you haven’t mentioned the “why and how” of Carney’s rise to power.

This has been , at the least, decades in the making. As I’ve stated, read the 2015 UN SUMMIT AGREEMENT. THIS is the path forward that the global elite are mandating.

This has nothing to do with winning or losing political campaigns. Nothing to do with Liberals, Conservatives or NDP. THEY do not want super powers. They want NEW WORLD ORDER. Which in my opinion, will never happen, primarily due to human nature and existing “super powers”.

Factor in the deeply embedded foreign interference and coercion GLOBALLY , we basically don’t have a leg to stand on.

Darryl Burrows's avatar

I concur with this. To me it goes back to GFANZ - with Carney playing the lead role along with former NYC Mayor and billionaire Michael Bloomberg. Their goal was and still is to set up a Carbon Marketplace- owned by them and Brookfield or a consortium of WEF elites. GFANZ as you know was a means to basically force governments and large corporations into setting up Net Zero programs in order for them to access financing. All of the world’s largest banks and investment houses - Vanguard, Blackrock, Fidelity, J.P. Morgan - Chase, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Deutsche Bank, Banco Santander, Citi Bank, Barclays, BNP Paribas, London Stock Exchange Group, Moody’s- and over 400 others from 45 countries representing over $ 130 TRILLION in assets participated. It worked like this : you need capital from any of the member banks or investment houses - what is your Net Zero plan ? If your Net Zero plan met with their approval, great you got the money, but if it did not or you had no Net Zero plan well, you needed to buy Carbon Credits through GFANZ to offset the carbon your company or country put into the air. Unfortunately COVID hit and the management of GFANZ switched from enforcing strict immediate Net Zero targets to instead trying to force Net Zero projects on to the borrowers financed through GFANZ. They transitioned from a top down umbrella group with rigid United Nations linked requirements into a more independent organization, specifically targeting the mobilization of finance in emerging markets by forcing them to initiate Net Zero programs to access needed capital. Key members of the Net Zero Banking Alliance, a major branch of GFANZ departed, following legal threats and pressure from US regulators regarding antitrust concerns, notably reversing earlier commitments to strict fossil fuel reductions. In other words - they lowered the bar for the amounts of carbon countries were allowed to produce - so they could avoid prosecution in the U.S. - and by the way, both GFANZ and Mark Carney are still under investigation by the U.S. Congress for their actions at GFANZ. Funny that the CBC nor the Liberal party has never brought that up. GFANZ failed because the banks felt they compromised their position and they could not trust the leadership. Carney was a pariah in the banking community because of this and his reputation was in the sewers until guess who called on him just at that time ? That’s right - Justin Trudeau, and to show his appreciation Carney turned on him and helped to orchestrate his removal as PM. Carney realized that he could not get a Carbon Credit marketplace off the ground without getting government to buy in and what better way to do that than leading a government itself. So when he and Hodgson talk about the Pathways Project and Carbon Capture - all projects they have invested their personal portfolios into and Brookfield as well, he is really talking about setting up the Carbon Marketplace. Now that he has his majority- there will be no opposition- and the Canadian taxpayer will foot all the bills while Carney, Hodgson and Brookfield make billions.

More people should read your comment and bderstand the entire picture. The financial and controlling aspects of their new world order. Wait till digitalization expands this groups power.

Christine - watching Liberals at their convention this weekend and seeing the man on the street interviews done by David Menzies in these bi-election ridings in Toronto - the so called “Safe Liberal Seats” - I have come to one conclusion. Liberal voters are, for the most part completely ignorant voters. They just do not have a clue. They cannot tell you why they vote Liberal other than “ they always have” or they respond with “ why not”. The ones that try to give “thoughtful” responses, they at least try to make you think they have some convictions, that they have some semblance of what the issues are, they just drop the ball and start spewing CBC and the Liberal party catchphrases “ Oh Mark Carney has the experience to deal with Trump and I agree that we need to expand our foreign trade”. That's the depth of their analysis. They are fully incapable of going any deeper - they are done, that’s all they have. They frankly do not care about GFANZ, they do not care about his conflicts of interest, they know nothing about the Pathways Project but when Carney tells them that it’s going to be good for them and David Cochrane and Rosemary Barton give their stamp of approval, that’s all they need to know. That is the state of the Liberal voter in Canada, and unfortunately we are stuck with them and there are a lot of them. No matter how bad the economy gets, how highly they are taxed, how high the deficits go - they are in an ignorant state of bliss because likeable Mark Carney - the experienced banker and “successful businessman “ is in charge. Never mind that 80% of his MP’s are Trudeau retreads, including most of the Cabinet - no - this is a new leader and a totally new government and every one the world over respects Canada now because Mark Carney is in charge. This is Canada and in my mind - Canada is screwed.

Christine Barnett's avatar

Yes GFANZ is , or was, a good benchmark to actually realize what Carney and associates’ game plan was. That ended in failure but it didn’t stop the main objective. The “mastermind “ is still feverishly at work to solidify his objective. This has been decades in the making. He had major democratic leaders onboard. He HAS the backing of the UN, WHO, WEF, IMF. All monied elite global financial board members. Yet even now there seems to be some questions and doubts as to the escalation of global investment in the new world order mandates according to the WEF WEEKLY NEWSLETTER.

Are they actually realizing the error of their ways. The consensus is, that mandates are moving too fast and not producing positive results.

Canada has been extremely receptive. Weak and pliable. This group knew who to make “strategic “ alliances with and which country would be most receptive.

Carney has placed his “people” in place in government/corporate positions. Eventually many more will surface and the “Liberal elected politicians” will be eliminated, cleaning house so to speak. After all, in the corporate world, trimming excess is the norm.

The Canadian people will be the losers in their game plan. China has their foothold firmly embedded in Canada’s infrastructure, resources, financial institutions , government and security. We’re losing our identity and sovereignty.

This exists in most democracies including the US. But they, at least are trying to do something about it…as is the EU. Canadians have to start fighting for their country. They also have to understand the depth of deception in this new governing regime. There are never facts and action, only words and empty promises.

Dan Anders's avatar

Could not agree more. The problem with Conservatives is their steering committee. Has been for a long time. The executive suite of Bay Street lawyers there needs a housecleaning. Jenni Byrne, for some unknown reason still has a job there. And others too. Pierre’s trust of these boardroom warriors excludes the fact that they have no concept of how hard he and his wife have worked to get elected. Not one of them could match he and Ana step for step.

Secondly, yes the lieberals are brilliant; evil-brilliant but brilliant nonetheless.

Allen Dick's avatar

I wonder if the people who financed her run for Parliament can sue her for breach of promise.

Allen Dick's avatar

It's clear that her constituents vastly preferred the Conservatives over the Liberals. It wasn't even close.

For the 2025 election in the newly configured Sarnia—Lambton—Bkejwanong riding, a detailed local report (but not yet the finalized Elections Canada table) states:

Marilyn Gladu (Conservative): 40,365 votes – 53.3%

George Vandenberg (Liberal): 28,553 votes – 37.7%

Karen Benz's avatar

I get your point Heather, but I will always cast a vote. Seems a bit futile if someone can just cross like that. I can say I am more than pissed off.

MaryLS's avatar

Yes. It appears we no longer live in a democracy. Your vote means nothing.

Karen Benz's avatar

I do not think floor crossing should be allowed without a by-election for those who elected this nut job. After saying this though, I think she is where she belongs; with all the other unethical, corrupt douche bag liberals.

Verna Scott's avatar

Many have done it before.. maybe its a good thing shes gone.

Karen Benz's avatar

You are probably right. She sounds like a nut job. I do wonder what she was promised by Carney though?

mp's avatar

What keeps going through my mind is the title of Douglas Murray's book "The Strange Death of Europe" only instead of Europe I hear Canada. I wish I didn't follow Sam Cooper or Terry Glavin because I wouldn't know about the industrial strength foreign interference happening in Canada, and how quickly people are willing to put aside their ethics for power.

Christine Barnett's avatar

I’m beginning to feel the same regret. But I doubt that I could remain deaf and dumb.

John Powell's avatar

But wait! M.poilievre just lost his communications director Merrifield.

Remarkable.

December 2025 : Ms Merrifield:”Conservatives were not attracted to their party, they were targeted.( by the liberal party. )

I know this because I was told it was happening. I won't give names - check my resume. I worked with the best & brightest senior Libs for over 10 yrs.”

It’s clear Carneys strategy is to buy as many actors as possible to consolidate his regime of net zero tyranny.

The sound you hear is Canada being flushed down the toilet .

More info.

“Katy Merrifield worked for the British Columbia Liberal Party (a center-right coalition in B.C., not related to the federal Liberal Party of Canada) between 2016 and 2018. She served as Director of Communications to Premier Christy Clark (2016-2017) and later as Executive Director of the B.C. liberal Party “

Interesting resume. It could be a cynical and evidently successful long term liberal psy -op.

It’s a CCP strategy. Well known.”

Brian Lilley's avatar

I can confirm that Merrifield is a Conservative and a conservative.

John Powell's avatar

So let me try to understand, me the disciple and you the wise one. As a liberal in B.C. Ms Merrifield is center right and not really a liberal ? And now, at the arguably worst possible time the lady resigns from the federal Conservative Party. But she is a big “C” conservative ?

The only thing stranger than this entire Canadian political Westminster parliamentary horror show is the sudddn resignation of a “ big C” key player in the Conservative Party.

I know you are on vacation. So rest easy, and please, when you return , explain how all this makes sense. Yours truly, a disciple.

Equally Canadian's avatar

I’m gutted, democracy is dead and what do we have to look forward to? I can guess,based on all the grabs for power this government has tried to slip into legislation so far and attacks on citizens freedoms , that we’re in for a totalitarian regime once they secure their majority. The globalist agenda will be pushed through according to Carney’s “Values”

Deep Bay Off-Grid's avatar

The government has no money of its own, it's ours being used for everything they do. They paid off this woman, and the other floor cross morons,with our 💰.

MSM has been quick to attack Pierre over this. I belief it is planned and deliberate sabotage by the Liberals supported by the MSM to degrade Pierre. The Liberals know PP is the strongest opponent to their plans. This isn’t a democracy. Maybe we need to follow Ireland’s lead.
