According to Wab Kinew’s MLA for Seine River, if criminals “wanna steal, let them steal”… Kinew’s NDP believe in enabling criminals to victimize Manitobans. Progressive Conservatives believe in your right to feel safe in your home and community.

I actually cannot stop laughing at the fact that this video is real. The world is laughing at Canada after this went viral.
Looney Leftoids in Saskatoon, SK talk about neurodivergence like it’s real. However, neurodivergence is a branding exercise, not biology. Everyone’s brain is shaped by unique combinations of thousands of genetic variants. Attention, social processing, sensory thresholds, and executive function are all continuous traits. There is no natural “neurotypical” baseline, just statistical averages. DNA doesnt care about your hashtags and delusions

"This is a responsible investment that's done on favourable terms," says Artificial Intelligence Minister Evan Solomon, defending Ottawa's $1.6 billion cash injection into tech firm Cohere despite refusing to disclose exactly how much of the company Canadian taxpayers now own.

My brain hurts thinking about how many job opportunities Canadians are going to lose out on. Quite blackpilling.
KPMG is trying to hire 15 foreign accountants in downtown Toronto at $80,000+ each. In four days, Mark Carney will let corporations hire high wage occupations from abroad without even trying to hire a Canadian first. Toronto’s unemployment rate is sitting at 7% with youth unemployment at 17%. KPMG should be hiring and training Canadians, not getting a free pass to bypass local workers.

This is how the Premier of Manitoba @WabKinew chose to answer very serious questions. Deflect, deflect, deflect.
Bribery is a serious allegation. Chief Lisa Young — an elected official — has alleged that an NDP minister offered her $250,000 as a bribe to remove the blockade in Bloodvein. Wab Kinew needs to get serious and take accountability for his cabinet. Manitobans want answers.

Notice how the Liberal solution to the cost of living crisis, are more and more government programs designed to keep you dependent on them? They don’t want you to be independently prosperous, they want you to rely on them for everything in your life.
Let’s talk about affordability 👇

This is the philosophy of @WabKinew and the Manitoba NDP. They want you to sit back and do nothing while your property is being stolen. It’s time for common sense to be restored in this province. Why do we tolerate the degradation of our society? Oh right, because the NDP enables it.
"If they want to steal, let them steal" In response to calls by Manitobans for greater legal protection in cases of self-defence, or defence of property, from violent criminals NDP MLA @Cross4Seine says @MBNDP believe citizens should just pay their insurance & let crime happen.

‼️ MAJOR BREAKING: $1.6 billion was given to a company DIRECTLY tied to TWO Carney appointees.  They DO NOT face the same conflict of interest standards as MPs or Ministers.  Patrick Pichette: the guy that proposed a $500K departure tax for educated Canadians.  He used to be on COHERE'S BOARD. He was a PARTNER at Inovia. The same company that PREVIOUSLY co-led a $500 MILLION investment INTO COHERE. In October 2025, WHILE ON THE LIBERALS AI TASK FORCE, Pichette URGED Canada to make Cohere its "national LLM champion, and fuel it with large-revenue contracts."  Carney appointed him CEO of Digital Transformation Canada.  And now, Cohere gets an extra $1.6 Billion? Dominic Barton: replaced the CEO of Invest in Canada & is now acting Chair. He's STILL LISTED AS A PARTNER at Radical Ventures, which co-led Cohere's 2025 round (per The Logic). His own Radical co-founder called him "the most connected person on Earth." YES. CONNECTED ENOUGH TO GET $1.6 BILLION OF YOUR MONEY TO COHERE.  Do you see it? It's YOUR tax dollars but THEIR firms' portfolio. TWO APPOINTEES. TWO VC FIRMS.  With YOUR stake size NOT disclosed.   THE OPTICS OF THIS CANNOT BE IGNORED!

There's also a question as to whether these funds are required for Cohere to "acquire" Aleph Aleph, in a deal that is waiting to close. And acquire now seems to mean have dual HQ's in Canada and Berlin.
Cohere is backed by NVIDIA, Oracle, AMD, Tiger Global and Saudi-linked Prosperity7 Ventures. It also partnered with U.S.-based @CoreWeave to build and operate AI computing infrastructure in Ontario. Now Ottawa is committing up to $1.6 BILLION in taxpayer money. How much of Cohere is actually Canadian owned? How much of its infrastructure is under foreign control? And why should taxpayers bankroll a government-picked winner without clear answers?

The fact it’s been 19 months of review time, and there’s still no decision is pathetic. The RCAF deserves the best of the best, especially in such a “dangerous and divided world”

“Do you have any complaint as a shareholder of a company if the CEO expenses nice meals or do you expect him to eat slop?” I don’t go to jail if I don’t buy their shares, dumbass

Imagine believing that Carney pulled out of the tariff relief deal with America because it was a threat to our “sovereignty”… Only to then watch Carney smile, nod and clap along as Ursula Von der Leyen says Canada and the EU should merge (close alignment) our courts, policies, programs and governance…

Economic growth stalling in July & August, likely a decline in September. Yet the liberal answer is - MORE IMMIGRATION AND ECONOMIC DESPAIR So much for “building the strongest economy in the G7”

The Liberal Insiders are back at it once again. Not only is Barton taking it in on Cohere, but he’s seeing his century initiative immigration policies coming back to life.
Mark Carney didn't tell Canadians the truth of what is going on with Cohere. We need jail time for any politicians deceiving Canadians, enriching themselves or members of their party. Dominic Barton Mark Carney appointed "Chair of the Board of Invest in Canada" just 4 months ago and was a partner with Radical Ventures before they invested in Cohere. They infact invested in Cohere 3 times since 2021. How many millions did Carney make his buddy Dom today?
