Carney just rolled out another Trudeau style budget with the headline items being jacked up debt, spending, and restarting the mass migration pump. We'll see how it plays on main street.

Affordability.
Jamie Raskin promises Democrats will be going after corporations and law firms that "collaborated," "capitulated" and "surrendered" to Trump.
Translation: We will try to destroy any company or firm that dared to work with the Trump administration. Examples must be made for defying the will of the Democrat party.
It was all about healthcare and affordability, you guys.
Going after law firms and lawyers seems a dangerous and rather vindictive approach to law making.

BREAKING: The Law Society of Ontario engaging in lawfare targeting political foes to prevent them from being elected to the Board? This is incredible. See the Adjudicator text messages. The Regulator is politicized and broken.

China does this a lot -- it would be the least surprising culprit.
McCarthy Tétrault, one of Canada’s top corporate law firms, is dealing with a major data breach that has compromised thousands of files, including client information.
The breach occurred over the last week, according to two sources familiar with the matter, and one source directly involved said 31,000 files were stolen.
The Globe and Mail is not naming the sources because they are not authorized to speak publicly about the matter.
McCarthy Tétrault confirmed the breach to The Globe and Mail, but declined to comment on the number of affected files.
The firm, which advises on some of the highest profile deals in Canada, has been reaching out to Bay Street clients this week and informing them of the breach. Clients are currently in the process of learning what information has been compromised.

Ontario Real Estate lawyers have begun absconding with millions intended for mortgage discharges. The trust is broken. Lenders will find a new way and the legal profession will be left behind.

For non-lawyers: This is a HUGE story! Weil is legal royalty.
Founded in 1931. $2.1 billion in revenue last year. One of the most powerful law firms on Wall Street.
Lehman Brothers. General Motors. Enron. Weil handled their bankruptcies.
These are the lawyers you call when your company’s collapse is going to end up in a history book.
Now they reportedly need restructuring counsel themselves.
A wind-down would be a stunning end to a 95-year-old institution.
How does this happen?
NEW: Brian Resnick from Davis Polk restructuring team now on scene at Weil and wind-down now being actively discussed among options:

At one point this was the objective of civil rights laws. Now its considered controversial.
Bat signal is up.

Time for the Chief Justice to recuse himself from the case.

Lower courts' reasoning 'neuters' Emergencies Act, government tells Supreme Court ctvnews.ca/politics/article/…
Now that Carney has his majority, it is clear that the bat signal went out amongst progressives to restart the destructive mass migration policies.
Canada's Traban.
This is who and what the recklessly inept Liberal bureaucracy is competing against - abusing Canadian tax dollars and moving Canada backwards economically and technologically.
- already lost burning through $50 billion we could have spent on hospitals and schools but they wanted to bet against Tesla on EVs. Total failure.
- now giving Telesat billions of taxpayer dollars to ‘compete’ with StarLink and SpaceX. Telesat is a US hedge fund company so badly managed for so long it has a negative price to earnings ratio.
But it has a Liberal donor CEO
Who hasn’t met a single timeline or target - ever - while Musk is making a car fly.
We need to end this horrible - and deeply politicized - capital allocation and start partnering with the best firms in the world instead of creating fake govt funded imitations that burn taxpayers.
D. Jared Brown retweeted
Elon proofing?
First the Liberals punched a $50 billion hole in Canadas budget competing on EVs against Tesla and losing all of it.
Now they’ve given Telesat - owned by American hedge funds - more govt money than its entire market cap - to provide a subscale weak copycat of StarLink without the capabilities, scale or economics.
And they’ll pay SpaceX for it to work.
The federal govt is horrible at capital allocation. Using debt to fund failed business models the private markets won’t touch is stupidly wasteful.
Doing it betting against far superior scale companies run by @elonmusk is totally insane.
Anyone looking around at the permanent Hamas marches and take overs of the public spaces and sees white nationalism has lost their marbles.
The rise in white nationalist activity and other hate-motivated behaviour is alarming. We need to take action to make sure Ottawa remains a safe and welcoming city for everyone. At the beginning of the next term of council, I will bring faith and community leaders together to find specific ways to stand up against hate, stop the recruiting of youth in schools, and ensure everyone is safe and feels safe in Ottawa. I’ll work with the Ottawa Police Service to double the resources in their Hate Crime Unit. There is no place for hatred and racism in our city, and there never will be.
