Here's an idea ... stop sending billions off-shore for questionable gender/dei/climate projects that Canadians never voted for, certainly wouldn't approve of if they understood the half of it. Start listening to people like this:

Fix? The Fix was in when Eastern Canada voted in SkidMark Carney. He should actually be president of a waffle house not the PM. He moved his companies head office to New York where he actually resides. Yet Eastern Canadians fell for his elbows up 🐎💩? How uninformed and unintelligent are Eastern Liberal voters? It seems shockingly so…

It’s not that simple. Growing the economy sounds great, but won’t happen without cutting spending, cutting taxes, reducing the quagmire of regulation and ending government interference in the economy. All of those things are necessary, and so is abandoning the whole Nut Zero paradigm and eliminating DEI initiatives in favour of merit and competence. There’s no chance of that happening with this government. None.

Don't look to BC to help Canada out of the economic mess it's in. The Commies own the Legislature, including the opposition. The Indian Industrial Complex dictates policy. Too many believe in Green Hoax renewable energy.

Just ask Lorne. He'll tell you out all about it.

I listened to an indigenous gentleman yesterday on APTN and he said 31 out of 40 communities adjacent to the proposed pipeline support it whole heartedly. They want work for their people, they want to be part of it and will invest in it too. His last name was Swamy. Can't remember his first name.

Courage begets courage. The more people like Premier Smith and Greg Ebel speaking out, the better.

That being said, the price of speaking out might be high. Ask Lindsay Shepherd, former communications officer with the BC Conservative Party tweeted the truth about the Kamloops Residential School hoax and was fired the same day by John Rustad. Much like he kicked Dallas Brodie out of the party for speaking truth.

What a perfectly elegant and simple solution to our financial problems. Wish I had thought of it as a whole thing - as you have - instead of piecemeal. I am 100% for this. It could be called the "Lily initiative". You should get royalties.

Another name for this solution could be "Get the Hell out of Danielle Smith's Way".

Ottawa has all my money, what more can they tax? Eff Global, the FedGov.ca should stop subsidizing ANY and ALL Canadian media - start with Global giving back their significant subsidy. Apply that to the deficit. What happened to the interprovincial trade barriers (tafiffs). Summarily remove those. Make food affordable in Canada - remove all the tariffs and all the monopolistic industries crushing and bashing Canadians. How tf is it to buy a litre of cream requires a second mortgage? 5x the price of a litre of gas.

There is a proverbial fly in the ointment, Mr. Carney is a dyed in the wool an anti energy advocate and has shown no real break from that at this point in time, as long as he dithers on that we will continue on the same road to a poor country!

But surely the reality is that civil servants and retirees with indexed pensions, who make up a huge bloc of voters, will be insulated from these issues unless the economy actually collapses. Making large numbers of people invulnerable to bad economic performance was a shortcut to disaster, marketed as social justice.

Stop hitting the retirees with your nonsense. We have PAID our dues in taxes all our lives. Time for you all to pay yours. That's the way it works. I am sick and tired of being bashed about as if we just landed on this soft cushion with no effort on our part when we were young and able.

He was referring to civil servants and retirees with indexed pensions. I am neither one of those so I rely on savings and interest from savings. At this point stocks are too great a risk.

I see that I should have added that I am 75. I have always been self-employed and still work.

First Person Jailed in Canada for Online Post?

So now we see how Canada works. A man in North Bay just got nine months in jail for making posts online. Not for violence, not for stealing, not for hurting anyone, for words. They say it was “antisemitic posts.” That’s the headline. But if you peel it back, this is a precedent case. This is the first time in Canada that someone has been jailed specifically for Holocaust denial and offensive opinions on the internet.

Think about that for a second. The government and the courts are now deciding what people can and can’t believe. If your opinion doesn’t line up with the state-approved narrative, you don’t just get canceled online anymore, you go to jail. Doesn’t matter if you harmed nobody directly, doesn’t matter if you were ranting into the void. Now words are crimes, and that is a slippery slope.

They’ll tell you it’s about “stopping hate.” That’s the emotional shield. But the deeper play is about control of speech. They’re laying the foundation that if you question certain historical events, institutions, or powerful groups, you’re not just wrong, you’re a criminal. That means debate is over. History becomes whatever they tell you it is, locked in forever, unquestionable. That’s not freedom, that’s dogma enforced by the state.

And let’s not kid ourselves about timing. Canada is knee-deep in censorship bills, online harms legislation, the digital ID agenda, and cozy partnerships with outfits like the World Economic Forum. They are building the legal infrastructure so you can’t resist. Today it’s “antisemitic posts.” Tomorrow it’s questioning government policy, vaccines, war narratives, or their financial scams. Once the precedent is set, they can expand it however they like.

This is how tyranny creeps in. Not with tanks on the streets at first, but with judges, media headlines, and a few “example cases” to scare the public into silence. This is about much more than one man’s distasteful post. This is about whether Canadians have the right to think, speak, and challenge authority, or whether our voices now belong to the state.

The government doesn't have a revenue problem it has a spending problem and horrendously a bloated bureaucratic burden.

Oh and how much progress on removing interprovincial trade barriers has there been, on nation building project approval, on housing starts, on building the economy and attracting investment... oh right absolutely fucking none, zero, nada. Elbows up liberal voting morons🤡
