Stephen LeDrew listed the usual complaints: ignored affordability, high gas and grocery prices, travelling like royalty while people at home can’t pay the bills. Then he said he wasn’t talking about Trump. He was talking about Carney. Don’t give him a free pass just because he isn’t the other guy 🇨🇦
🎯LeDrew’s question is whether Canadians are paying enough attention to what their own Prime Minister is doing. Canadians should not give Mark Carney a free pass. No Prime Minister is above criticism or accountability. #Canada #Canadian

Carney promised Canadians a stronger economy. Instead, another 4,700 jobs disappeared in October, and unemployment climbed to 6.7%. That follows 110,000 jobs lost in August and September. After 11 years of Liberal failures, Canadians face another month of lost jobs and greater uncertainty. Promises do not pay the mortgage, put food on the table, or help a young Canadian land their first job. Canada needs a government that cuts taxes, reins in wasteful spending, removes barriers to investment, and gets major resource and infrastructure projects built. That means unleashing private-sector growth, creating good-paying Canadian jobs, and letting Canadians keep more of what they earn.

This morning CTV News revealed the October job numbers showed Canada lost jobs again. Minister Champagne should be ashamed of himself for telling such an outrageous lie. The media should be ashamed of themselves for not getting him to admit he’s lying.
Champagne says Canada created "almost twice as many jobs per capita as the United States." So far in 2026, StatCan says Canada is down 41,000 jobs, while U.S. payrolls are up 612,000 per the BLS. Twice as many jobs? Not this year.

CBC covers for Carney’s budget. Cost: $300M Budget 2026 gives CBC/Radio-Canada an extra $300 million over two years From CBC’s own panel: “Canadians are willing to give this government and this prime minister a lot of room to try things for now.” Opposition calls it a “credit card budget… built on the back of debt.” Debt charges projected to hit $85.5 billion a year Who needs publicists?
Budget 2026: CBC/Radio-Canada gets an additional $300 million over two years (starting 2026-27) “to strengthen its capacity to meet the evolving needs of Canadians.” This builds on prior top-ups (e.g., $150 million previously)

Nenshi left city council and Calgarians to clean up his mess, and is completely unbothered by it.
After years of water system failures, flooding and property damage, a new independent report raises serious questions about what the former mayor of Calgary, and Alberta NDP leader Naheed Nenshi knew and what he did about it. Nenshi was briefed on the concerns, yet the warnings never made it to city council. Years later, Calgarians are dealing with the disastrous Bearspaw water main failures, not once, but twice. Residents were forced to boil their water and ration their water use. Meanwhile, the man who led Calgary for 11 years has blamed everyone but himself. Now, Calgary families are facing water bills projected to DOUBLE over the next three years, exceeding $200 per month. Nenshi wants to lead Alberta. He can’t even keep water running for Calgarians.

DAMNING. The Auditor General found FINTRAC failed at its two core jobs: enforcing Canada’s anti-money laundering laws and producing financial intelligence. FINTRAC’s interim director? He DISAGREES. Even worse: he testified that the Finance Minister’s office hasn’t even contacted him about the audit. The watchdog says failure. FINTRAC says everything is going great and the Minister responsible doesn’t even call. This is what zero accountability looks like.

The report absolutely does NOT “exonerate” him. The report says that the authors were unable to find proof that he DELIBERATELY withheld the information from Council. But it confirms that he, his Chief of Staff, his office, and senior City officials ALL knew, and did nothing.
Former Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi gets pissy when asked if he's responsible for the city's water main failures, a new report finds. "I have been completely exonerated."

Watch this and remember "No ethics rules have been broken". And if you believe that....well, bridge, sell... #cdnpoli
I found how it all connects, Carney's meeting with the Crown Prince, Barbados, Antigua and Barbuda. When will the RCMP get involved?

You mean to tell me, they could have done this 10 years ago... but instead chose to increase homelessness instead? and now they want to fix it?
🚨BREAKING NEWS : Liberals vow the 2026 budget will end homelessness in Canada, within 10 years. ⛺️ Does anyone really believe this claim?

BUSTED FULLY EXPOSED IT WAS SO BAD. MARK CARNEY REFUSED TO STAND UP.
🛰️ Carney stumbles, falls then has Minister Steven MacKinnon (badly) cover for him on violating the Conflict of Interest Act related to Telesat benefiting his good friend, CEO Dan Goldberg. 🙊 He refuses to answer if he ever DISCUSSED Telesat's $2.3B contract award with a public servant. Only that he wasn't involved in DECISIONS. 💥 "Oh, how he chooses his words carefully!" 🧑‍⚖️ Carney is caught. Guilty.

Mark Carney wants you to think that Canada can afford the massive amount of debt he's taking on because much of it is going into "investments." What he neglects to mention is that he has no idea how much these investments will actually pay off.

Holy smokes, NDP, this is your leader. Take a long look in the mirror and ask where you went wrong.

For those who never got to experience @nenshi up close, the more pissy he gets, the more guilty he is. He starts by saying, he doesn’t remember the specifics of this report & he looked at millions of reports, then he gives specifics about the report when he says it was about cost ratios so apparently he does remember. This is all classic Nenshi, he did this every single time he was caught lying as Mayor.

Nenshi knew, before the water line blew. But think of all the great bike lanes and public art he ushered in. Worth more than being able to flush a toilet right?

“Calgarians paid the price for his failures. They got higher water rates, aging infrastructure, and many of the same problems experts warned about nearly a decade earlier,” said de Jonge.
As mayor, Naheed Nenshi hid recommendations on Calgary’s crumbling water infrastructure from council. Fixing the pipes wasn’t a priority. Raising taxes and funding vanity projects was. That’s the kind of NDP-style neglect and mismanagement Albertans can expect from Nenshi and the Alberta NDP. 🔗 unitedconservativecaucus.ca/…

This is what panic looks like.
Nenshi’s office ignored warnings before water main failures, report finds He called a reporter’s interpretation “spin of the utmost.” Read more: junonews.com/p/nenshi-office…

Nenshi has several taxpayer funded pensions. He should just fade into the sunset.
Naheed Nenshi's political career might come to an end today, I don't mean that lightly or gleefully. This is bad. We have sent them a request to comment on a story we are about to publish at Juno News. Working on the final details. This will be big.

BREAKING: Calgary was warned about serious problems with its water utility nearly a decade before two major water main failures, but a new report finds Naheed Nenshi’s administration deliberately withheld five key reform recommendations from city council. Why were councillors kept in the dark? junonews.com/p/nenshi-office…
