We could have bought and staffed over 2700 MRIs in canada with this money last year.
Canada has less MRIs than Pennsylvania. 700,000 people are waiting for CT Scans and MRIs in Ontario alone right now.
Let that sink in.
Federal government spent $19 billion on external consultants last year ctvnews.ca/politics/article/…

Charlie was murdered in the middle of a debate with people who hate him while wearing a shirt that said "freedom." He died defending Chappelle's right to be offensive. And Chappelle thanks him by reveling in his death.
But as offensive as that is, none of us who knew and loved Charlie want Chappelle to suffer the same fate. We don't want Chappelle dead, and we wouldn't "feel better" if someone murdered him. That's not how we respond to speech that offends us because we're not bloodthirsty lunatics.
If you're laughing about Charlie's murder, or feeling good about Charlie's murder, you're acting within your rights. You're free to be sadistic. But that's exactly what you are. Your soul is sick. The only thing I wish for you is that you'd come to realize it — before it's too late — and beg for God's forgiveness.

Since 2019, Canada added zero private sector jobs per capita while the US added 6 million 🤯

Only in Canada can a person who works their ass off 40 hours a week pay more in taxes than an “artist” who tells “stories”!
Work your ass off to paint a houses = pay FULL taxes
Paint a picture of a maple leaf = $45k tax break

🇨🇦 MARK CARNEY SAYS CANADA IS “THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD TO BE A REGULAR PERSON.”
Wonderful. Let’s meet this mythical regular Canadian.
Not a billionaire. Not a trust-fund beneficiary. Not someone with three investment properties.
Just an ordinary Ontario taxpayer earning $120,000 a year, trying to raise a family, own a modest home, and perhaps commit the outrageous act of saving for retirement.
In Ottawa, $120,000 sounds like prosperity.
In the real world, it’s a remarkable opportunity for everyone else to get paid.
Let’s follow the money.
YOUR $120,000 SALARY — 2026
🇨🇦 Federal income tax: ~$17,502
🇨🇦 Ontario income tax, including surtax: ~$8,636
🇨🇦 Ontario Health Premium: $750
🇨🇦 CPP contributions: ~$4,646
🇨🇦 Employment Insurance: ~$1,123
TOTAL PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS: $32,657.
Congratulations. Before you’ve bought a loaf of bread, paid your mortgage, or turned on a light, roughly 27% of your gross income has already been deducted.
You now have approximately $87,343 left.
And this is where the Canadian dream gets really expensive.
Own a home? Property taxes.
Buy taxable goods or services? Another 13% HST in Ontario.
Fill your car? Federal and provincial fuel taxes are already embedded in the price.
Insure your car? Pay the premium.
Insure your home? Another premium.
Heat your house? Pay the utility company.
Need child care? Open your wallet.
Need groceries? Statistics Canada says grocery prices have risen 33% since September 2020.
And remember, insurance, food inflation, and child care aren’t taxes. They’re simply the other bills arriving after the tax collector has finished.
Now consider one illustrative annual budget for that $120,000 Ontario household:
🏠 Mortgage payments: $33,600
🏡 Property taxes: $5,300
🥦 Groceries: $13,000
👶 Child care: $10,800
🚗 Auto and home insurance: $5,000
⚡ Utilities, internet and phones: $6,000
⛽ Transportation, fuel and maintenance: $7,200
🛒 Clothing, household supplies and other essentials: $6,000
TOTAL HOUSEHOLD EXPENSES: $86,900.
These are illustrative costs, not national averages, and applicable sales taxes are included rather than added twice.
AMOUNT LEFT FROM $120,000 GROSS INCOME: $443 A YEAR.
That’s approximately $37 a month.
Before a vacation.
Before a major home repair.
Before an emergency.
Before meaningfully contributing to your child’s education or your own retirement.
Now imagine what happens to the family earning $70,000.
Or the single parent working two jobs.
Or the young couple who cannot afford the down payment on the home their parents bought with one income.
And then imagine being lectured by the Prime Minister about how extraordinary life is for ordinary Canadians.
Here’s the intellectual dishonesty in modern Canadian politics:
Governments love measuring prosperity by how much people earn. Families measure it by how much they can keep, afford and save.
Those are two very different economic realities.
A six-figure salary used to signal financial security.
Today, in some Canadian households, it merely qualifies you to participate in a more expensive version of financial insecurity.
And yes, taxes fund hospitals, schools, infrastructure and pensions. Canadians understand that.
What they’re entitled to ask is whether the price they’re paying is producing the quality of life they’re being promised.
Because a country cannot indefinitely celebrate its standard of living while ordinary people struggle to maintain it.
The government gets the first deduction. The bank gets the mortgage payment. The insurer gets its premium. The grocery store gets what’s left.
And the Prime Minister gets to give a speech about how lucky you are.
Perhaps Canada really is the greatest country in the world to be a regular person.
Patriotism is loving your country. Accountability is demanding that your country work for the people who pay taxes

🤔 Remember the #WEScandal? Sophie Grégoire Trudeau's ambassador role was unpaid, but her flights, hotels and car service were covered.
Then in a spectacular boneheaded display, the Liberal government of the day, led by her (at that time) husband Justin Trudeau, subsequently signed an agreement worth up to $543.5 million with WE's foundation before it was cancelled amid the massive public backlash and controversy.
"Volunteer" didn't make the family connections irrelevant then, and it sure as hell doesn't now.
Yet… Diana Carney's "volunteer" appointment as Ocean Envoy by a minister in her Prime Minister husband's government, followed thirteen days later by her PM husband @MarkJCarney announcing $1.2 billion for ocean protection, gets fiercely defended by those same Liberals, all pointing to Diana Fox Carney's salary information NOBODY asked for! Somewhere CBC pundits are brainstorming how to convincingly blame Pierre for the whole mess.
Now, who remembers Anaida Poilievre's parliamentary career, which began before her marriage to Pierre, and attracted an onslaught of Liberals online voicing insinuations of favouritism, cronyism and nepotism during the last election campaign. Every "ism" in the cupboard that Liberal supporters could find was hurled at her.
But somehow, and this is borrowing logic from the 'Liberalverse', Diana gets appointed, and suddenly the liberal peanut gallery vocabulary shrinks to "volunteer," with nary an "ism" in sight.
Sweet mother of leftist insanity...🤦🏼♀️ The question is how the Prime Minister's wife got the appointment, not whether she gets a paycheque. You'd have to work quite hard to misunderstand something that simple, and yet here they are, finally putting in the effort and representing with the craziest of them.
So... it's a different prime minister, and a different wife, just serving up the same deluded expectation that Canadians are too stupid to notice and too easily impressed by style without substance to insist on integrity.

At what point do we stop focusing on who needs to pay more tax and start asking where all of our tax money is going.

I have a new coworker who just came over from Ukraine and boy did we have a great discussion last night.
He confirmed what we say about Z Man.
- He DOES kidnap young fighting aged men off the street to fight his war against their will. It's why he fled to Canada. As are many others.
- He DOES take a % of the actual money given to him by countries for himself. It well known across Ukraine apparently.
- He REALLY DID ban the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. He pushed through legislation to have it pass.
- He spends most of his time outside Ukraine because he is afraid he will be assassinated. The people there hate him more and more.
I will believe what this young man tells me over the media and a Liberal ANY day. Liberals want us to believe he i an angel.

How did the news that Prime Minister Mark Carney was giving his wife $1.2 Billion dollars to be Canada's "Ocean Envoy" go with such little media coverage, let alone media scrutiny.
Dude gave his wife a $1.2 BILLION budget to pretend to be Aquaman or whatever an "Ocean Envoy" is supposed to do and most people just let that news slip past unnoticed.
Is she gong to talk to narwals about climate change?
Somehow Canada survived without an "Ocean Envoy" up to this point but apparently now we need Diana Fox Carney to don the Aquaman suit and go fight suspicious barnacles or something.
Goodness...

The year is 1873. Your wife tires easily and reads too much. The doctor prescribes the rest cure: six weeks flat in bed, no books, no visitors, fed on milk, forbidden to sit up without his permission. The man who devised it is the most famous nerve specialist in America, and the women come out of it quieter, which is taken as the cure.
The year is 1915. The hospital has a new way of delivering your child. Morphine, then scopolamine, and the mother wakes two days later with a baby she cannot remember having. They call it twilight sleep. The women are strapped into padded cots so they do not hurt themselves while they scream, and the straps are the modern part. The babies arrive blue and slow to breathe.
The year is 1945. The truck comes down your street fogging DDT, and the children run behind it in the white cloud because the man on the back says it is harmless. At the beach it is sprayed over the bathers on their towels. It goes on the cattle, over the barn, and across the kitchen table.
The year is 1948. Your son has trouble with his ears. The doctor slides a rod tipped with radium up each nostril and holds it there for the best part of ten minutes, and you bring him back three more times. Hundreds of thousands of American children get the same treatment. The cancers arrive in their fifties.
The year is 1962. The health visitor tells you breastfeeding is old-fashioned and the formula is scientific. By 1972 fewer than one American baby in four is breastfed at all. The formula is skimmed milk and sugar, with the milk fat taken out and vegetable oil put in.
The year is 1971. The family planning clinic fits a small plastic crab called the Dalkon Shield. Its tail is a bundle of fibres that wicks bacteria up into the womb. 2.8 million are fitted in America before it is withdrawn, and the company goes bankrupt under the claims. It had been sold as safe and superior.
The year is 1983. The doctor says your arteries are the butter's fault. The dripping tin goes in the bin, the yolks go to the dog, the margarine goes in the fridge, and you have the heart attack anyway, on skimmed milk, having done everything right.
The year is 2001. Your 15-year-old is low, and the doctor prescribes Paxil, because the trial in the journal says it is effective and well tolerated in adolescents. The raw data, reanalysed 14 years later, shows more suicidal thinking on the drug than on the sugar pill. The company pays $3 billion to settle. Nobody rings the house.
The year is 2009. The government has spent around £500 million stockpiling Tamiflu for the pandemic, on the strength of the manufacturer's trials. When the trials are finally prised loose five years later, the drug shortens flu by about half a day and nothing shows it keeps anyone out of hospital. The stockpile goes out of date in a warehouse.
The year is 2026. The doctor has ten minutes and a screen. The number is high, so the tablet is for life. The weight is high, so the injection is for life. The meat is bad for the planet and the oil is good for the heart, and the person in the chair is as certain as everyone who ever sat in it.
Every one of those was settled, by a committee, in a journal, with a doubter somewhere being laughed at. The rest cure, the straps, the fog, the rod, the formula, the crab, the margarine, the trial, the stockpile. All of it certain, all of it printed, all of it done to somebody who had asked for help.
You were never the one who was wrong. You were the one it was done to, and the only person in the story who did as they were told every single time.
The apology comes a generation late, in a footnote, addressed to nobody.
The next one is being drafted now.

The BC Teacher’s Federation are more concerned about advancing their own ideologies and fears, than teaching kids basic skills to survive and thrive in the real world
The BC teachers union president issued this statement today 🥴
"I recognize that with the outcome of a Conservative government, many of us may be feeling disappointed, scared, or deeply concerned about what might come next.
I know these results may be particularly concerning for Indigenous, racialized, and 2SLGBTQIA+ members. You are not alone."

🚨 I AM ACTUALLY IN SHOCK RIGHT NOW!
For the FIRST TIME in my life, I strongly agree with Wab Kinew.
He just called on Mark Carney to ABOLISH THE INDIAN ACT.
His argument? Canada should no longer have a race-based form of identification.
EVERY CANADIAN DESERVES EQUAL DIGNITY AND RESPECT.
Never thought I’d say this, but Kinew has started a conversation Canada desperately needs to have.

TIM ALLEN - ON TRUMP:
Whatever your feelings for Trump, these are some interesting points that Tim Allen makes. Put your hatred aside and think about these observations. 👇
Tim Allen wrote: Here are some interesting points to think about prior to 2020, especially to my friends on the fence, like moderate Democrats, Libertarians and Independents and the 'Never Trump' Republicans and those thinking of "walking away" from the Democratic party:
- Women are upset at Trump's naughty words, they also bought 80 million copies of 50 Shades of Gray.
- Not one feminist has defended Sarah Sanders. It seems women's rights only matter if those women are liberal.
- No Border Walls. No voter ID laws. Did you figure it out yet?
- Chelsea Clinton got out of college and got a job at NBC that paid $900,000 per year. Her mom flies around the country speaking out about 'white privilege'. And just like that, they went from being against foreign interference in our elections to allowing non-citizens to vote in our elections.
- President Trump's wall costs less than the Obamacare website. Let that sink in, America!
- We are one election away from open borders, socialism, gun confiscation, and full-term abortion nationally. We are fighting evil.
- They sent more troops and armament to arrest Roger Stone than they sent to defend Benghazi.
- 60 years ago, Venezuela was 4th on the world economic freedom index. Today, they are 179th and their citizens are dying of starvation. In only 10 years, Venezuela was destroyed by democratic socialism.
- Russia donated $0.00 to the Trump campaign. Russia donated $145,600,000 to the Clinton Foundation. But Trump was the one investigated!
- Nancy Pelosi invited illegal aliens to the State of the Union. President Trump Invited victims of illegal aliens to the State of the Union. Let that sink in.
- A socialist is basically a communist who doesn't have the power to take everything from their citizens at gunpoint. Yet!
- How do you walk 3000 miles across Mexico without food or support and show up at our border 100 pounds overweight and with a cellphone?
- Alexandria Ocasio Cortez wants to ban cars, ban planes, give out universal income and thinks socialism works. She calls Donald Trump crazy.
- Bill Clinton paid $850,000 to Paula Jones To get her to go away. I don't remember the FBI raiding his lawyer's office.
- I wake up every day and I am grateful that Hillary Clinton is not the president of the United States of America. The same media that told me Hillary Clinton had a 95% chance of winning, now tells me Trump's approval ratings are low.
- "The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people's money." —
Margaret Thatcher.
- Maxine Waters opposes voter ID laws; She thinks that they are racist. You need to have a photo ID to attend her town hall meetings.
- President Trump said — "They're not after me. They're after you. I'm just in their way."
Now, go back & read this again like your future depends upon it, because it does!
And all of the above is still true today!
