As a Calgarian I do not want any flag other than the Canadian and Alberta flag flown! Are we Canadian or what?

Damn spendy technocrats giving our $$ away to losing war that Putin scoffs at!! Carney is a weasel making fun of us: 2.1 trillion $$ debt

Yup exactly my sentiments Karen… when the going gets tough the tough gets going… can’t be any worse than “ middle finger Trudeau’s” days as pm!

It’s already worse for lots of people, and the outlook for them isn’t exactly an encouraging one.

Even though this is a horrendous budget I'm glad we will not be having an election just yet. We still live in a Christian country so people will be busy with Christmas. Hopefully if we wait even the most die hard liberals may see the error of their ways, meaning I hope Carney and his bunch f*ck up royally.

Matt Shannon Idiot(I mean Idlout-had no clue which way she was supposed to vote) and Johns abstained. We had an elderly guy on council and one of his fellow councillors always had to whisper to him which way he was voting. Kind of like Idlout. Gazan looked like a moron too. And let’s hope this is the last time we hear from May in any meaningful way.

And it would have passed without Chris. Well done.

Toronto is so Woke, Queer and Godless, and when you throw in the Liberal Replacement Population and Future Voters , we don’t have a prayer. I’m sure Zohran Olivia Chow understands her base, so feed the hordes a flag.

Polievre needs to start building a team. Is Ian Brodie available???

Martin Dixon's avatar

He thinks there is a way to attract a majority of the boomers and still save the country. That is delusional.

Thinking about his some more. It is pretty clear that the Tories did not want an election and handled it the way they did because they could not count on the fact that the NDP and Liberals would not fuck it up. Smart, actually.

Was May sober? They should do a sobriety test anytime she votes

Ha! I was thinking the same!

This budget is a disaster and I detest the “credit card” reference that Poilievre uses to describe it. It’s cheesy and cheapens his messaging - he’s too smart for that. That aside, I think the last-minute “technical difficulties” antics of the Conservatives were well-played. Economics Mastermind Carney now has his budget and will wear the consequences. He will also have all the glory as, if by some miracle, Canada starts showing signs of prosperity. I hope it does but Canadians, especially the younger ones, can’t wait 10 years to see a glimmer of future hope and there will be a confidence vote and election within a year. That gives time for Poilievre to work on his brand and the Conservative Party to win over Canadians who (God help us) vote for niceness over competence.

Please explain to me how PP is more “qualified” at understanding how economies and international finance work than Carney.

We are all witnessing the final days of a once beautiful country. Between the barbarian invasion of late, the Communist sympathizers from coast to coast, the capitulation to the UNITED NATIONS woke policies to bankrupt Western States, to the raising of terrorist flags at city halls. It appears that the Globalist utopia of Agenda 2030 will succeed. After that, no one will stop the march onto Agenda 2050 where all private property will cease to exist.

This confidence vote was Canadas last chance and the Commies won.

Really enjoy your columns Brian. Can't for the life of me figure out how to be a paid subscriber.

I'm not impressed with 2 conservatives not voting. I don't care what your excuse is..you were elected to vote. As for Elizabeth..why is she even here?

Phil Gamache's avatar

What a crime. Who is their right mind would pass a budget that will destroy Canada

What is the betting line that Elizabeth May could become an "independent Senator" in the future?
