Carney said to judge him by the price of food. $6.50 for a head of lettuce in Loblaws today is 100% telling me it is time for him to resign.

Oh, what a tangled web he weaves, when first he practises to deceive!
Carney said the Stellantis sale was a betrayal of workers. Then we find out his own government officials attended the high-level meetings where the betrayal happened.
He betrayed the workers, the taxpayers, and the truth.

Finally.
I told Justin Trudeau in 2019 that his Bill C-69 (which I coined the “No More Pipelines Law”) was flagrantly unconstitutional.
He didn’t care.
We persuaded the Senate that it was unconstitutional, and to adopt all of Alberta’s amendments.
Trudeau then returned the bill to its original unconstitutional form, flagrantly violating provincial jurisdiction.
I then challenged C-69 in Court, with the Alberta Court of Appeal ruling in 2022 that it was an unconstitutional “Trojan Horse.”
The Supreme Court of Canada upheld that decision in 2023.
But still the Liberal government refused to comply.
Years of flagrant violation of the Constitution, disrespect for federalism, and refusal to comply with the highest Courts in the land, all from a party that claims to be the defender of the Constitution.
Hopefully the Carney government will now move from its approach of picking winners and losers, to instead undo the entire edifice of the Trudeau government’s anti-growth regulatory framework, starting with the repeal of the Impact Assessment Act.
(N.B. Huge congratulations to the brilliant legal team at @BennettJonesLaw for leading Alberta’s judicial challenge of C-69, and winning 3 - 0 on the most important case for the division of powers in decades!)

Insanity.
Mark Carney, the climate banker turned prime minister, keeps Canada's net zero by 2050 promise
The bill: C$1,650 billion ($1,190 billion)

Some great news for Canada, the LPC's anti-infrastructure bill is dead. Ottawa won't repeal the Alberta Court of Appeal's ruling of BillC69 being unconstitutional. Hopefully, this marks a turning point where we start unlocking our enormous resource potential, attracting global capital and building the infrastructure needed to get our energy to the world. Canada has an incredible opportunity ahead of it.

Another weekly buy of $XEQT.TO for my son’s RESP!
My little guy doesn’t even know what stocks are yet, but he’s already building himself a nice little starting point for the future.
Hopefully, by the time he’s old enough to understand investing, he’ll appreciate what those small weekly contributions can grow into.

Serious question: why is Carney and his government willing to burn so much political capital on this immigration nonsense?
Is it special interests? Is it a true, deep ideological desire to have more immigration no matter the cost?
I don't get it
Well, well, well...

Advisors and advisory firms in Canada do not have to report all of the fees that their clients pay. Crazy eh? But that's about to change, it took regulators 20 years. 😳
Canadian investors will begin to receive charges and compensation data in their statements that reflect the new rules introduced under total cost reporting (TCR, also known as the third phase of the client relationship model, or CRM3), effective Jan. 1, 2027.
There, in black and white, they’ll see the dollar amount of all costs associated with the funds they hold in their portfolios – including the fund expense ratio, advisor compensation, sales charges, account or administrative fees and recordkeeping fees, as well as the percentage cost of every fund.
It's just unimagineable that regulators have allowed advisors and firms to send year end statement that do not disclose total fees. You could say it was within the regulations to hide fees. Now you know who the regulators work for - the industry and mutual fund providers.
Canadians pay some of the highest investment fees in the world. Most Canadians don't know that, of course. Most don't know what they pay in fees. I hope more Canadians open the statements and know how to read them. I hope they can put two and two together. They need to leave the high fees fund and their fund salesperson behind. @JonChevreau @MoneySense

#BREAKING: Carney government actively involved in talks leading to Stellantis plant sale: sources ctvnews.ca/politics/article/…
Geoff retweeted
💥 Ok, this story is just getting weirder.
CTV News sources say the Carney government was “actively and intensively part of discussions” that led to Stellantis selling its Brampton plant to Roshel. They KNEW the terms of the proposed sale and did not stand in the way.
But yesterday Carney called it a “betrayal” of workers and of Canada, and Joly expressed disappointment.
⁉️ I have so many questions.
👉 WHY the public outrage when they were actively participating?
👉 WHY claim they “never advocated for a deal” when they were intensely involved for months?
👉 WHY did the initial opposition simply vanish?
👉 WHY feign surprise when they already knew the terms?
👉 WHY not take back the ~$24 million in taxpayer dollars that Stellantis offered to return?
NONE of this adds up.

How many other governments give massive percentages of their citizens money they've taken from other citizens to buy basics like food?
This is incredible.
« À partir du mois de février on va augmenter de 50 % l'allocation canadienne pour l'épicerie. » Joly: environ 343 $ de plus pour une personne seule, 680 $ pour un couple avec deux enfants.
"Starting in February we're going to increase the Canada Grocery Rebate by 50%." Joly: about $343 more for a single person, $680 for a couple with two children.

The government’s entire reasoning for these bans is to prevent mass shootings. That’s their defence of it. They reference the small number of tragedies Canada has experienced, many with illegal guns which would not be impacted by the bans. Only legal guns owned by licensed owners are.
To believe this reasoning, you’d have to believe that just by virtue of owning them, you’re susceptible to committing a mass shooting, but if you owned other guns you wouldn’t.
It’s literally the stupidest thing I’ve ever experienced. 🇨🇦
They’re not for sale.

Active stock pickers at your CPP Canada Pension Plan lost money during robust markets - "But the strategy has struggled for years. It lost $3.5-billion in CPPIB’s 2026 fiscal years, which ended March 31, and has lost a total of $6-billion over five years." This is criminal. We'll never make it back, these are permanent losses. @JonChevreau @thedave2006 @StockTrades_CA @PassiveCndIncom @MarkMcGrathCFP @Tawcan @rcarrick Many were fired.
