AUDIT: @FINTRAC_Canada mandated to track cash transactions between terrorists and organized crime is faulted as so lackadaisical it compromised police investigations. $292,000-a year CEO Sarah Paquet resigned while audit was underway.

John Carpay tells @ryanjespersen: “The biggest threat we've got right now is C34, the Safe Social Media Act.”
Protecting children matters. So does protecting Canadians’ freedom of expression and privacy. Any new powers over social media deserve tough questions and public scrutiny.

For Prime Minister Carney Canada Isn't A Country: Canada Is His COMPANY
It's clear now: Mark Carney does what he wants: invests in AI Companies, joins Europe, creates one new Agency after another, runs up whatever Deficit he decides is right
He's NEVER in Parliament

How can a Prime Minister steal Canada's CPP money? Appoint an insider, Carney "brother-in-law" to head CPP! Lend CPP for foreign lands with condition! Money loan gets paid to Prime Minister's Company "Brookfield" for contracts in foreign lands. Canadians won't know a thing!

A country
that allows its PM
to appoint his wife to a non existent position
and award her $1.2 Billion dollar expense account,
followed by the finance minister

$2 Million for a bonus for a non existent railway
is a corrupt government.

Mark Carney’s total media blackout at the Montreal Old Port EU dinner reeks of secrecy and contempt for the public. Only tyrants and fascists slam the doors on the press to conceal their schemes. This is not leadership—it is authoritarian control. Canadians demand accountability, not Carney’s closed-door betrayal of democracy. #ScumbagRatMarkCarneyMustGo

Carney's ethics screen names 103 Brookfield companies. Brookfield's own COO told MPs it owns about 2,000.
That leaves roughly 1,900 that aren't on the list.
Yesterday at the ethics committee, Michael Cooper asked the Ethics Commissioner a simple question: has Carney ever given your office anything on those other 1,900?
"No."
Has your office asked for it?
"No, we have not."
His reason: the whole system relies on what the PM chooses to declare.
A year later, the list looks exactly the same.
The PM gets to write his own ethics screen, and nobody checks his homework? 🤦🏻♂️
Trust, but verify, eh? 🇨🇦

Marc Andreessen: "Europe seems enthusiastic about being left behind...
25 years ago, if you did a list of the 50 biggest tech companies in the world, a pretty significant number of them were European... probably 15 of the top 50.
Today, you're basically down to Spotify. I love Spotify, but that's not what the European tech sector used to be.
They have sort of deliberately disarmed and turned away from technology and progress and capitalism in really profound ways for decades now."
@pmarca speaking to @JTLonsdale and @uaustinorg
This is eye-opening. Europe’s share of global tech R&D has collapsed from 23% in 2005 to just 8% today, while the US has climbed to 62% and China has risen from near zero to 15%. South Korea now outspends Germany, France, the UK, and Italy combined in tech R&D. Yep, you read that right.
This is the predictable result of policy choices that systematically favor control and redistribution over growth. Layered regulation, data rules, AI restrictions, labor rigidities, and precautionary frameworks, raises the cost and slows the pace of turning ideas into products, forcing companies to spend scarce resources on compliance rather than experimentation. High taxation and expansive redistributive systems extract capital that would otherwise fund private R&D and risk-taking, while shrinking the after-tax reward for building something new and scaling it. The broader left-leaning mindset that prioritizes equality of outcome over dynamism treats entrepreneurial success as something to be managed, taxed, or shared rather than unleashed and rewarded.
Places that protect the returns to innovation and keep barriers low continue to pull ahead, attracting talent and capital that Europe increasingly loses. Europe’s relative decline is the cumulative outcome of treating dynamism as a problem to be regulated rather than the engine of prosperity. Without a shift toward lighter rules, lower burdens on enterprise, and greater tolerance for unequal outcomes from unequal effort, the gap will keep widening, and Europe will become an open-air museum for wealthy Americans and Asians.

With that said, after listening to her speech today, I simply didn't hear what some people are claiming today on X.
There is such a lack of context and understanding of how laws work as it relates to the EU vis-à-vis Canada, that it might as well be just fear-mongering.

Canada is looking to build much closer ties with Europe, and it's about more than trade. Critical minerals, AI, energy, defence, research and cooperation on migration are all part of the broader relationship.

Before everybody gets caught up in this whole Canada joining the EU as a member.
I’d like to remind you so you aren’t misinformed or misled by anybody anywhere.
As the treaty is written, Article 49 of the Treaty on European Union says 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗮 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗱𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿.

And this week, four countries broke the silence to oppose the “𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿” designation.
𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆, 𝗜𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘆, 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗰𝗲 are the ones that filed objections.
In fact Germany is leading the push to strip the phrase out of the text entirely. 🤣
What Von Der Leyen offered is an association agreement, a contract between the EU and an outside country. Not full membership.
Something they’ve been doing for years already.
So don’t panic, we’re not joining the EU!

Who can make this make sense?
Carney: Trump putting tariffs on Canadian industries like steel and aluminum is NOT ACCEPTABLE.
Also Carney: I welcome EU’s carbon tax on our steel, aluminum and iron industries.
Canadians, can you see it now? Carney didn’t become PM to get a deal with Trump, make Canada an energy superpower or even build affordable homes.
Carney became PM to further his net zero/green energy agenda (and grow his personal net worth via Brookfield’s extensive stake in green energy).
“The future of trade does take carbon into account, Carbon is trade”
Carney and Ursula over the next several days will introduce their plan to soak businesses, industries and their citizens out of even more money & it will all be under the guise of “fighting the climate”
CBAM will make life less affordable, but Carney will claim it’s making businesses “more competitive”
These are not good people.

Amazing analysis of how mass Liberal immigration has driven wages down and rent up to profit corporate powerbrokers.
Now Carney wants even more mass immigration. He is not working for you.
Immigration numbers in Canada need to go down: conservative.ca/cpc/fix-cana…
The Canadian government's mass immigration policies of the last 10 years were highly regressive. Having seemingly learned nothing, they are dead set on turning back on the taps rather than letting the country heal.
On cue, the media has begun parroting the government's narrative and gaslighting anyone who disagrees. This suggests that they remain blissfully unaware that the Bank of Canada has written extensively about how (mass) immigration has negatively affected housing, rents, inflation, labour supply, wages, and productivity. So I've compiled an inexhaustive list to help these folks.
🏘️- Monetary Policy Report, October 2023
🔗bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/u…
▶️"The strength in rent and other housing costs is partly due to strong housing demand, which is supported by rapid population growth, and a structural lack of housing supply"
🏘️- Staff Analytical Note, December 2023
🔗bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/u…
▶️"The rise in immigration is nonetheless contributing to pressures in inflation components linked to house prices, given that it is adding more to housing demand than to housing supply in the context of structural imbalances in the Canadian housing market."
🏘️ - Speech by Toni Gravelle, December 2023
🔗bankofcanada.ca/2023/12/econ…
▶️"When a country’s population is growing quickly, the supply of housing also needs to increase to avoid a worsening in affordability. Shortly after immigration began ramping up in 2015, Canada’s vacancy rate—a measure of how many apartments and houses there are available to rent or buy—started to fall."
🏘️ - Monetary Policy Report, January 2024
🔗bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/u…
▶️"A larger increase in newcomers than in the past is adding pressure to the structural supply constraint in housing. This has helped to push the overall housing vacancy rate to record lows, which has underpinned house prices and led to higher rents (Chart 3-A)."
🏘️ - Staff Analytical Note, April 2024
🔗 bankofcanada.ca/2024/04/staf…
▶️"Meanwhile, the composition of immigrants coming to Canada has changed considerably since 2015. Historically, growth of the immigrant population in Canada came mostly from permanent residents....While the wages of the earlier immigrants are closer to those of Canadian-born workers and have been increasing over time, those of non-permanent residents are much lower and have fallen over this period. Because real hourly wages are typically correlated with labour productivity, this piece of evidence is consistent with non-permanent residents working in less productive occupations."
🏘️ - Monetary Policy Report, July 2024
🔗bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/u…
▶️"The increase in housing demand from newcomers is being felt across all types of housing, but the largest initial impact tends to be in rental markets. This is because most newcomers start out as renters."
👨🌾 - Staff Analytical Note, May 2025
🔗bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/u…
▶️"if newcomers’ conditional wages reflect their labour productivity, the productive capacity of the Canadian economy grew less than it would have if recent newcomers had the same socio-economic characteristics as in the past."
▶️"However, this gain has been particularly acute for certain industries such as accommodation and food services, business, building and other support services, and retail trade. Labour productivity in these industries—which are comprised of a sizable share of lower-skilled occupations—is lower than the average in the business sector."
👨🌾 - Staff Analytical Note, May 2025
🔗bankofcanada.ca/2025/06/staf…
▶️"Youth—individuals 15–24 years of age—represent a significant portion of the overall increase in unemployment since the start of 2023. This is a larger share than during other periods of rising unemployment (Chart 5). This is partly due to the high number of immigrants, who are generally younger than the rest of the population."
👨🌾 - Speech by Nicolas Vincent, May 2026
🔗bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/u…
▶️“The labour market is particularly challenging for young people”: The 2022–24 influx of young newcomers “intensified competition in Canada for lower-skill and entry-level jobs”. Youth unemployment has risen above 14%, and he expects it may normalize now that immigration has been cut.
