"Ottawa is helping low-income Canadians, but the lower middle class is feeling the squeeze, too. Over the past decade, the gap between household earnings and expenses has shrunk by 11% after inflation. Imagine working, being considered middle class, and still having to skip meals or turn to a food bank."

.@PierrePoilievre said it best: "I can't figure out who actually qualifies… you have to be able to stand on one foot and count backwards from a thousand with your finger on your nose before you could qualify for that break."
Despite Liberal claims of supporting small businesses through capital gains tax exemptions, they have deliberately excluded major economic drivers including agriculture, forestry, mining and fisheries.
Conservatives remain the only party fighting to cut wasteful Liberal spending so that all Canadians can afford fuel, food and homes. #cdnpoli

Antizionist Diana Bosco was ordered by a court to stay away from the Jewish neighbourhood of Bathurst & Sheppard, where protesters menace the community every weekend. Bosco violated that court order repeatedly. Yesterday they were finally arrested.

Nearly three years. That’s how long Judge Graf is making Charlie Kirk’s family wait for a trial. Jury selection set for June 2028.
I’m disgusted. This is unfair to the Kirk family.
Justice delayed is justice denied.

Repeat after me: wanting a functioning economy, prosperity, freedom, security, stability, and real leadership does not make you fringe, radical, extreme, far-right, or anti-Canada.

The Liberals have a long history of recycling promisses or making commitments on the same issues years apart, often with limited or delayed delivery.
Here are five clear examples
1. Icebreakers / Coast Guard fleet renewal
2019: The government announced it would procure six new program icebreakers under the National Shipbuilding Strategy
2021: It re-announced/expanded plans for two new heavy/polar icebreakers, framing this as fulfilling long-standing needs and earlier commitments. Delivery was projected for around 2030.
2024–2026: Design work was awarded in 2024; in August 2026, Carney announced an $11 billion contract for six new Polar Class icebreakers at Chantier Davie in Quebec
2. Eliminating / sharply reducing homelessness
2017: The National Housing Strategy committed to cutting chronic homelessness by 50% by the 2027–28 fiscal year, alongside major investments in affordable housing and a new Canada Housing Benefit.
2026: Budget 2026 pledged to end homelessness within 10 years, with roughly $11.2 billion over four years (and more over a decade) for housing, health supports, and prevention. This was presented as a flagship initiative.
Note: The Parliamentary Budget Officer analysis around 2024 found homelessness had risen ~20% despite earlier spending increases under the strategy.
3. Poverty reduction targets
2018: The “Opportunity for All” Poverty Reduction Strategy set targets of a 20% reduction from 2015 levels by 2020 and 50% by 2030
Subsequent years: Platforms, budgets, and statements repeatedly highlighted progress via the CCB and other transfers. The reality is that poverty is on the rise in CAnada.
4. National pharmacare
2015–2019: 2015 platform language covered making prescription drugs more affordable; the 2019 platform committed to implementing national universal pharmacare so all Canadians would have the coverage they need at an affordable price.
2022–2024: Under the Liberal–NDP confidence-and-supply agreement, limited legislation advanced (Pharmacare Act covering contraceptives and diabetes medications in an initial phase).
2026: Implementation remains incomplete, with only a handful of provincial/territorial agreements and uncertainty about further expansion under subsequent governments.
This is a multi-decade pattern of announcements with incremental or deferred delivery.
5. Ending long-term drinking water advisories on First Nations reserves
2015: During the election campaign, Justin Trudeau promised to end boil-water advisories on First Nations reserves (then cited as affecting 93 communities under 133 advisories) within five years
2016-2021: The original deadline was missed (dozens remained). The commitment was reaffirmed repeatedly in subsequent years and budgets, with substantial spending reported on water projects and many advisories lifted.
2025–2026: Roughly 35–39 long-term advisories remained in effect.
These examples illustrate repeated high-level announcements on the same policy goals years apart, often with cost growth, missed timelines, or incomplete results relative to the original framing.
Other noteable examples:
- Building 500,000 homes per year
- Replacing Canada's aging CF-18
- Replacing the Snowbirds
- Eliminating gun crime
- Cut taxes for the middle class
- Make life more affordable
- Reach net zero
- Make Canada the strongest economy in the G7
- Diversify our trade partners
- Balanced budgets
- Better paying jobs
The Liberal motto is quite literally "Over promisse, under deliver"

Eleven years in government. Canadians sleeping in parks and other encampments. And you’re posting a headline asking for ten more years to sort it out?
You advised Trudeau. Now you’ve got his job. Who exactly are you waiting for to fix this? Gregor Robertson? How did his plan to end homelessness in Vancouver work out?
“We take care of each other”? is a lovely sentiment. Now find somebody who can sleep under sentiment.

CBC Kids News is teaching children about complaints that the red poppy focuses “too much on soldiers” and can be perceived as “glorifying war.”
Too much focus on soldiers. Around Remembrance Day. Let that sink in.
Then comes the colour guide:
White - Peace and remembrance of all war victims, including civilians.
Black - Contributions of Black, African, Caribbean and Pacific Island communities.
Purple - Animals harmed in war.
Rainbow - Discussed in connection with LGBTQ remembrance,.
The Legion disagrees with the criticism of the red poppy.
But why turn a shared symbol of sacrifice into another identity debate for children?
Those who served didn’t need matching identities to stand together.
We don’t need separate colours to remember them.

The same women who laughed about desecrating a dead man's body are now crying about their lost sponsors
This is the most satisfying karma I've seen in a while
Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan plead with their supporters for financial support after more than 20 sponsors dropped them.
"If you want to sponsor us financially, you can become a member on YouTube... also go buy my book."
The women had a nearly 30-minute meltdown over Turning Point following backlash after the two hags giggled profusely at the thought of digging up Charlie Kirk and "doing it" again to him.

Sadly, the last known surviving WW2 veteran of the SAS, Matthew "Matt/Jock" Mackinnon-Pattison died on Thursday 5th November aged 102years. We remember Matthew. Here is a summary of Matthew's wartime service. Please share widely: Matt MacKinnon Pattison was among hundreds of thousands of Allied soldiers who fought Germans in Italy in the spring of 1944.
Sometimes remembered as the "D-Day Dodgers", in reference to their role away from Normandy, men in Italy faced brutal conditions as they battled to take Monte Cassino and dislodge enemy soldiers.
"We came back from Italy having flogged ourselves to pieces, nervous wrecks, and people say 'where were you on D-Day?'" said Matt, from Penrith, Cumbria.
"We just say we were busy bloody well fighting."
British Prime Minister Winston Churchill thought of Italy as the "soft underbelly" of Nazi-dominated Europe, but the campaign there proved difficult and costly.
With perhaps typical military irony, the men in Italy adopted the "D-Day Dodgers" moniker, even creating a song to the tune of Lili Marleen, a famous wartime melody.
"We are the D-Day Dodgers in sunny Italy," rang the chorus.
But this was no sojourn in the sun and the Allied forces knew it.
Enemy soldiers were dug in on defensive lines across the country, and at Monte Cassino it took four separate attacks from US, British, Polish and Commonwealth forces to destroy and take the hilltop monastery.
Matt still has razor-sharp memories of the battles he fought, and the comrades he lost.
He fled agricultural service in Kilmarnock as a teenager to get to Glasgow to enlist as an infantryman before ending up "right in the forefront" of the battle for Monte Cassino.
Advancing up the slopes amid the fog of deadly artillery bomb blasts and the continual crackle of gunfire, the soldier saw many of his comrades fall.
But, he said, there was no time to be frightened.
"You don’t look upon it as bravery, you just look at it as part of your life," he told the BBC.
"When the officers told you to advance, that was what you had to do.
"Every battle is the same. You get pounded to death, whether it was Normandy, Burma or anywhere."
Matt was recruited for the SAS after being injured and taken to a Naples hospital to recover.
From 100 candidates, he was just one of 10 that made it. He was dropped behind enemy lines near Genoa, tasked with finding Italian dictator Mussolini who by then had been captured by partisans.
Once the war was over, he was sent to Germany as part of the War Crimes Unit to find Nazi suspects who had executed captured members of the SAS.
There, he said, he saw a broken nation, but people "just like us".
Eight decades on, he can clearly recall the claustrophobic horror of war, from German soldiers playing dead to entice Allied soldiers into shooting range, to landmines and enormous loss.
"I lost a lot of my mates, especially one called Ginger," he said.
"And when he died he was sitting in a trench with his head down. There was a smile on his face."
"Still a smile on his face that marked the place where he and his maker met.
"And that was Ginger. He was a good lad."
Dodging D-Day was no pass, and so many thousands paid the ultimate price in Italy.
In his flat, Matt still has his SAS beret, his medals and his memories.
He also has his nation’s thanks.
