🚨Listen to the Liberals shout about all the government programs.
But here’s what they seem to miss: The true measure of success is not how many Canadians need government assistance, but how many no longer do.
Canadians do not dream of depending on government assistance. They dream of standing on their own two feet, providing for their children, and knowing their hard work will lead to a better life.

« Les données montrent clairement que le Canada achète plus de produits alimentaires aux Américains que jamais et leur en vend davantage aussi. Malgré les discours, notre dépendance envers le marché alimentaire américain demeure forte. »

Mayor Carolyn Parrish of Mississauga telling the Muslim community that she banned foreign flag raising to prevent the Israeli flag from being raised.
This is disgusting pandering but not surprising for Parrish who is unfit for office for many reasons.
This is just one of them.

Lloyd Axworthy, a former Liberal foreign affairs minister, has now lined up with Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre in demanding that Parliament be given a real say before Canada locks itself into any deeper “unique alliance” with the European Union. Prime Minister Mark Carney’s habit of announcing major foreign-policy shifts from the red carpet while MPs sit idle is an affront to responsible government. Sovereignty is not a bargaining chip to be traded away in Brussels without debate. If even a Chrétien-era Liberal can see the danger of executive overreach, Carney has no excuse for shutting Parliament out of a decision that could reshape Canada’s independence for a generation. Canadians elect MPs to scrutinize these deals, not to rubber-stamp them after the fact.

The Carney government wants to use CBC to fight misinformation.
But CBC journalists can’t even call 9/11 a terrorist attack.
How can we trust them? torontosun.com/opinion/colum…
Jeff Smyth retweeted
Two weeks before the 25th anniversary of the deadliest terrorist attack in American history, CBC has instructed its journalists not to refer to 9/11 as a terrorist attack.
Nearly 3,000 innocent people were murdered that day, including 24 Canadians, in an act of monstrous evil.
Canadians stood shoulder to shoulder with our American friends, neighbours, and allies in the aftermath. Nearly 7,000 stranded passengers found safe harbour in Gander. More than 40,000 Canadians would go on to serve in Afghanistan alongside our allies in the fight against terrorism.
To call 9/11 anything other than a terrorist attack is an appalling distortion of history. It dishonours the victims and their families, the survivors, and the first responders who suffered from the horrors of that day.
CBC must immediately apologize and retract this directive.

The media attacks on @PierrePoilievre are launched to distract from @MarkJCarney's failures. The Liberal Gov't is in charge, not the Opposition.

This Hoekstra petition got me thinking...
Can we start a petition to remove David Cochrane as host of Power & Politics and replace him with Katie Simpson?
Unlike Cochrane, Simpson doesn’t lead guests toward predetermined answers. She is as neutral as a host should be, and the conversations are far more informative with her at the helm.

Monsieur le premier ministre, il est temps d’obtenir des résultats pour le commerce :
Il faut éliminer les tarifs sur le bois d'œuvre, l'acier, l'aluminium et les véhicules.
Vous l'avez promis. Maintenant, passez à l’action.

THE “ELBOWS UP” HOUSE OF CARDS JUST CAME CRASHING DOWN. 🇨🇦
They were CERTAIN Mark Carney was the man who would stand up to Donald Trump.
Not hopeful.
CERTAIN.
They overlooked everything.
They overlooked reports that 91% of Carney’s disclosed investment assets were tied to the United States, while just 0.5% were tied to Canada.
Why?
They bought all of it.
They were assured THIS WAS THE GUY.
The sophisticated global banker.
The master negotiator.
The adult in the room.
The man who understood Trump.
They were told the global banker had a plan.
Then came the speeches.
Carney talked about “middle powers” joining together. About a new world order. About countries refusing to be pushed around by great powers.
The Elbows Up crowd was euphoric.
Finally!
Their intellectual heavyweight had arrived.
Their master negotiator was going to stare down Trump and show him Canada wouldn’t be bullied.
ELBOWS UP! 🇨🇦💪
And then came reality.
The tough talk collided with the negotiating table.
The concessions started.
And suddenly the very establishment that spent a year and a half convincing Canadians that Carney would stand up to Trump began explaining why Canada couldn’t possibly stand up to Trump.
Read that again.
We went from:
“ELBOWS UP!”
to:
“Well, Canada doesn’t really have a choice…”
Funny how quickly courage becomes pragmatism when your guy is the one making concessions.
The same people who would have called Pierre Poilievre a traitor for giving Trump an inch are now performing intellectual gymnastics to explain why Carney giving ground is actually brilliant negotiating.
Apparently when Carney folds, it’s 4D chess.
When Canadians question it, they simply don’t understand economics.
And now the Elbows Up crowd wants answers.
They want their champion to explain what happened.
They want to know where the tough guy from the speeches went.
They want to know what happened to the leverage.
What happened to the grand coalition of middle powers?
What happened to standing up to Trump?
And at the moment Canadians most desperately want answers, Carney heads to Europe.
The optics are brutal.
Because Canadians are beginning to confront a possibility they were told was unthinkable:
Maybe they chose the wrong guy.
Maybe electing the man who sounded sophisticated at Davos wasn’t the same thing as electing the man best equipped for a bare-knuckle negotiation with Donald Trump.
Maybe Canada’s biggest mistake was confusing polished speeches with strength.
Pierre Poilievre was mocked for being confrontational.
Too aggressive.
Too combative.
Too unwilling to play nice.
But when you’re negotiating with Donald Trump…
maybe those weren’t weaknesses.
Maybe they were exactly the qualities Canada needed.
The election is over.
There are no do-overs.
And if Canadians conclude they were sold an image of strength that disappeared the moment strength was actually required, that’s going to hurt far more than any campaign attack ever could.
Because eventually slogans meet reality.
ELBOWS UP met reality.
And the house of cards came crashing down.
🇨🇦 Canada CHOSE the wrong Prime Minister.

Trump cornered Canada.
Carney is stuck between provinces that can afford to play tough and Ottawa’s need to reach a deal. As expected, the “Elbows Up” strategy is now backfiring.
It’s brilliant for the Americans and a nightmare for Ottawa. The provincial liquor bans were simply foolish. Don’t expect a deal by August 19. Expect 50% tariffs on billions of dollars in trade.
Canada chose pain.

Across the Muslim world, millions of girls are still married before they reach adulthood. This is not merely a cultural issue. It does not happen simply because of traditions. This violent, misogynistic practice is rooted in religion, reinforced by law, and defended as obedience to God and the example of Mohammad.
While activists risk imprisonment, persecution, and even death to challenge these laws in Muslim countries, countless girls continue to lose their childhoods, their education, their health, and often their lives because child marriage is enshrined in Islam.

"The entire controversy surrounding the Gordie Howe Bridge would likely never have happened had Canada maintained a strong relationship with the U.S. Prime Minister Carney made matters worse by misleading Canadians about the changes to the agreement. We should be thankful to Bloomberg, an American media outlet, for revealing that Carney had once again made concessions to the Americans."

Every single individual who has entered the West illegally should be deported. Every person who has entered legally and who is loyal to an ideology that is antithetical to the West’s foundational values should also be deported. This is a battle for the soul of humanity. Wake up. Grow a pair.

If you believe criticizing Ottawa is un-Canadian—especially now—you have misunderstood democracy.
Full stop. Scrutinizing government is not disloyalty; it is a civic responsibility, regardless of who holds power.
Patriotism does not demand intellectual obedience. Too many Canadian academics appear compliant right now. I am not. Unfortunate.
My integrity is not for sale.
