Nope he’s doing everything he can to expand his powers, and has already attacked the judges, falsely accusing them of being under “foreign influence” and vowing to use other laws to circumvent them. Standard dictator stuff . Just because a villain’s plans are occasionally thwarted doesn’t mean he’s not actually a villain.

There is no reason why we still need these agencies. They are a relic of a different time and are of no value. They are also profoundly unfair to those accused, since unlike the accuser, they get no free legal representation and the 'judges' are in almost all cases people way over on the fringe left and tend to side with claimants. And yet they can make hefty punishments against those who offend their sensibilities. Witness that guy in BC who was fined $750k because he believed there is only two genders. And who laid the charge against him? The BC Teachers union. Which is another organization that should not exist.

He'll be claiming that it did next week. His amazing imaginary investment portfolio Always goes up and down not based on market conditions but based on what's necessary to support his narrative of the day

But you think Carney is The Left, so it's really anyone who isn't extremely far right. My grandfather, who fought for Canada in the Second World War, hated Nazis. You would destroy Canada because you feel there aren't enough of them here.

It's telling that you think talking bad about Canada is talking bad about "The Left." You probably even think Carney is The Left. Yes, traitor scum can be traitors if they want to. Good point!

Because you say so? That's not much of an argument. He lost the election, remains deeply unpopular with Canadians, has shown zero capacity for self-reflection and continues to bang the grievance bell at every opportunity.

I saw this post on X a few days ago. It really made me think and stuck with me for quite a while. Then I saw that it also inspired a substack from one of my favourites. First I'll post the text of australianwoma1 from X, then a link to the substack, if you're still interested. Her post went sort of viral and now her account is gone. Not sure what happened there. The moment of clarity didn’t arrive dramatically. It crept in through the small, uncomfortable questions I started asking myself. Why was I so certain? Why did I feel such fury toward anyone who hesitated, even slightly, on positions I held? When had I stopped thinking and started simply reacting? When I tried to share these doubts with friends and family—people I loved, people on my side—I wasn’t met with conversation. I was met with a wall. A similar wall to what I had previously put up for anyone daring to question me and my positions. “No discussion.” “You’ve gone right-wing.” Lies were constructed about my motives. It didn’t matter that I was asking questions in good faith. The act of questioning was itself the crime. That is not normal. A political movement that forbids its own members from thinking critically is not a movement for justice. It’s something else entirely. And it worried me then. It worries me more now. Do you remember the 1980s and 1990s? I do. We had done real, meaningful work on race relations. Most people in the West genuinely did not care about the colour of your skin. Were things perfect? Of course not. But we were heading somewhere good. We were building something. And then we pulled it apart. We decided that every small, clumsy human interaction was a “microaggression.” We reframed the past as one hundred percent negative, as though nothing decent had ever been achieved. We became so obsessed with naming every tiny slight that we forgot what real progress looked like. We unstitched the good work and called it enlightenment. Once I began looking with honest eyes, the contradictions were everywhere. We decided blackface was a mortal sin. But woman face? That was brave and fabulous. We insisted entire societies must be restructured to accommodate the preferences of fractions of a percent of the population, and if you questioned the pace or method, you were a bigot, evil or fascist. We pursued reckonings for the crimes of Western civilisation—slavery, church child abuse, colonisation—and those reckonings were important. But we stopped there. Only the West was held to account. The trans-Atlantic slave trade was a horror, yes. But it was the British who ended it. Meanwhile, the Islamic slave trade ran for centuries, and pockets of it persist to this day. Where is that reckoning? Who is demanding it? We created a world in which nobody is allowed to simply settle and build a life. Indigenous people must perpetually identify as victims. Everyone of European descent must perpetually identify as perpetrators—for events centuries old. Yet nobody seems interested in acknowledging that white Westerners were not history’s only colonisers, or that colonisation, in softer forms, is happening right now. Mass immigration into Western countries is a form of soft colonisation. That sentence will make some of you furious. But consider: why is it only European and other Western nations being pressured to “diversify”? No one bags Nigeria or China or Latin American nations for a lack of diversity and not promoting the idea of multiculturalism. Only white-majority countries are told their cultures must be diluted or they are racist. Wanting to preserve the native peoples and cultures of European nations is not xenophobia. It is a right that in the 21st century we wish to grant to every non-white culture on earth. But apparently it’s a sin to want it or expect it for ourselves. And when it comes specifically to Islamic immigration into Western democracies, there are countless videos—not propaganda, but Muslims speaking plainly—describing a vision in which the world becomes Islamic, in which Sharia law replaces secular governance, in which their growing numbers translate to growing power. These are not conspiracy theories. These are now publicly stated intentions. History tells us what happens when these numbers reach a tipping point: the freedoms we take for granted begin to erode. Some know this because they are ex-Muslims. Some know because they are Westerners who converted to Islam and found it wanting. Frightening, even. Expressing that concern is not Islamophobia. It is pattern recognition. Being concerned about how trans medicine affects young people is not transphobic. Asking how trans ideology impacts women’s rights and the gay and lesbian community is not bigotry. These are legitimate questions that deserve honest answers, not silencing. So much of what I had taken for granted on the left collapsed under the lightest touch of common sense. I had to accept something I’d been resisting for years: the world will never be perfect. It won’t. And if you spend your one and only life railing against the world because it refuses to become your utopia, you will lose. Worse, you will drag the rest of us down with you. Constantly tearing society apart because it cannot meet an impossible standard doesn’t make you righteous. It makes you destructive. What I did instead was start asking a different question: ‘What’s the optimal way to improve this?’ Not achieve perfection (#impossible). Not burn it all down and rebuild a utopia from the ashes (also impossible). Just better. What specifically needs improving, and how do we do it? That shift—from ideological fury to practical problem-solving—changed everything for me. So those are the things that drove me away from the left. Not toward the right, but away from what the left has become: reactive, unquestioning, hostile to dissent, and increasingly detached from reality. I wasn’t changed by the right, I was changed by the left. My left. If the West is going to survive—and I think it’s that serious at this point—the left has to start thinking again. Questioning again. Demanding evidence instead of demanding obedience. So I’m asking you—begging you, really—to think. Consider that an alternate view might not be hatred. Consider that you may have been wrong about some things. I was. That’s not a confession of weakness. Admitting a mistake and choosing a different path is braver than marching further down a road you already suspect is leading somewhere dark. You are not a bad person for questioning. You are not a traitor for thinking. The people who tell you otherwise are not protecting you. They are controlling you. That’s all I ask. Just think.

Trump is hands down and unequivocally the most obnoxious, belligerent and failure of a human being to ever grace the earth. I won't even comment on his strong points of being factually dumb as a stump and on the doorstep of senility.... The SCOTUS sides with a family-owned education company that has been in business for 110 years and the pathetic one calls them 'sleezebags'. Very presidential don't you think.... The only thing dumber than this guy are those that support him.

Your debt increased 2.25T last year under Trump and the US trade deficit is essentially the same despite what he tells you.. Bidens fault I take it?

I don't know, that's why I asked you. Go conjure it up yourself, it'll seem more real to you that way. But in the meanttime I asked AI for news and opinion sources stating 1/4 to 1/2 of Poilievre's base of support is from so-called Maple MAGA and this was the result. Recent opinion and analytical pieces characterizing Pierre Poilievre’s base of support as heavily influenced by "Maple MAGA" (a term used to describe a Canadian version of Donald Trump's movement) often cite proportions ranging from one-quarter to one-half of his core following. Specific Proportions and Estimates "Half of the Electoral Base": Some social media-based political analyses and community forum discussions argue that approximately half of the Conservative Party's current electoral base is ideologically aligned with Trump and "Maple MAGA" politics. "One-Quarter" Alignment: Other analyses suggest a smaller but significant core, often citing that while Poilievre has broad appeal, about 25-30% of his supporters represent a more "hardline" or "Maple MAGA" faction that mirrors U.S. populist rhetoric and tactics. They even have merch.

No one is ignoring that, but they know it's mice nuts compared to Trump's threats of annexation. That's been a lot more effective in shaping Canadians views.

I guess that proves that the non-stop anti-Trump rhetoric from the Canadian mainstream media is extremely effective. At the same time, they basically ignore what the CCP is doing on our soil.

55% of Canadians do. Why are you surprised? You're saying you don't want to make Canada great again according to the same hard-boiled right-wing means and methods Trump prescribes? A solid 1/3 of Poilievre's supporters sure do.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd0vv2pe7ydo https://nationalpost.com/opinion/ivison-bending-knee-to-trump-is-cratering-carneys-credibility There's much more, you know that. Feigning ignorance is your go-to excuse when confronted with facts.

You're conclusion is faulty. Trump's tariffs have hurt some importers. Its also saved many manufacturers and brought many more into the US. I understand they've even been used to force peace in some cases on waring factions. So overall...the tariffs have been a net benefit.

I realize you are in favour of high taxes through tariffs, but how is a business supposed to operate in an environment where they're randomly applied, removed, raised, and lowered at the whims of an angry fool who just wants to get revenge on the country that elected him?

Robo: "Obama let Epstein pimp out kids for 8 years, and that's no big deal." Also Robo: "The Epstein records were "sealed", and it was impossible to look at them.... until Trump's DOJ magically unsealed them." Also robo: "I'm just gonna pretend that Obama and Biden had nothing to do with the 3 witch hunts against Trump, because no amount of evidence can convince me otherwise."

What are you talking about?

Four year old children behave with more dignity than Trump. The only thing more pathetic is the people who support this clown.

Down. I bought Nvidia April 2025, doubled my money by November and got out. Been going sideways ever since.

Woman brought me her new Win 11 PC. It was a deal ! $299 CDN. Biggest POS I've ever seen. Only 4 GB RAM... 64GB drive... Windows S version. Can't install anything unless it's from Msoft store. BIOS can't be adjusted. Eventually I got to to recognize a Win11 Home install USB as a MSoft product, but 1st intall failed. @nd one the charger plug fell out... trying 3rd one. If that don't work I'll tell her to return it and go Full Karen Mode in Bestbuy for ripping her off. I will try Linux... if that's possible. First time I ran into the S version, didn't know they could make Win 11 even worse.

Bridge Owner Donated $1 Million to MAGA Group Before Trump Blasted Competitor Less than one month before meeting with a top administration official to lobby against a new bridge connecting Michigan with Canada, the billionaire owner of an existing bridge donated $1 million to a super PAC devoted to President Trump. Matthew Moroun, a Detroit-based trucking magnate whose family has operated the Ambassador Bridge between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, for decades, made the donation to MAGA Inc. on Jan. 16, according to a campaign finance report filed on Friday evening. On Feb. 9, Mr. Moroun met in Washington with Howard Lutnick, the secretary of commerce, who called Mr. Trump after the meeting, The New York Times reported. Hours after the meeting, Mr. Trump lambasted the competing span.… But corporations and individuals who have donated large sums to MAGA Inc. have been granted audiences with Mr. Trump and his team. Donors have used those meetings to lobby for their interests. The Trump administration has at times taken actions that have advanced donors’ businesses or personal causes, prompting criticism of a pay-to-play system. While Mr. Moroun had donated to Mr. Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign, the $1 million to MAGA Inc. is larger than any previous federal political donation on record by the Michigan businessman. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/us/politics/trump-canada-bridge-maga-inc-donation.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share MOST. CORRUPT. PRESIDENT. EVER.

I don’t mean to sound like I’m constantly fuming over this. Given our constitutional gridlock we’re probably stuck with what we have and that’s fine. I hope to see two developments: 1. A smaller, more ‘Scandinavian’ monarchy in Britain with less secrecy, pomp, wealth and people. 2. More emphasis on the GG as our de facto head of state.

Canada exploring trade options with China and every other country is something a hostile America under Trump is forcing upon us; we simply have to review all our relationships now that our closest friend has gone rogue. How any patriotic Canadian could find excuses for the US under such dire circumstances is beyond me.

It's even worse when you realize the guy is bald.

YOU STILL don't understand that the evidence was SEALED after Trump cabinet member Alex Acosta gave Epstein a sweetheart deal that allowed him to continue to prey on girls for the 18 months he spent nights in jail. 🤮

That sums up the new right - just echoing criticism instead of explaining your position. I don’t know anybody who thinks domination by China would be a good idea. It’s a grim totalitarian dictatorship. Your problem is the fact that many of you want to see our country disappear as an independent state. You haven’t addressed the issue of your treacherous MAGA-wing and Canadians can see that. The notion that people like me are on ‘the left’ is preposterous. I have voted PC in my time and I support low corporate taxes, low national debt and a free market. Only in an American worldview could somebody like me be described as on the left. Which is the problem. So many of our right-wingers have become pale replicas of the Americans they worship.

Your naked link to a paywalled site is completely unconvincing. Quote the part which proves your point. Obama had nothing to do with it because Democrats RESPECT the "wall" between POTUS and the DoJ.

Many on the right seem to have given up on Canada. They want to throw themselves on the mercy of the worst elements in America. Sad to see.

With his actions Jivani has publicly challenged Poilievre’s leadership and made the case for a MAGA-friendly Tory party. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-the-post-poilievre-leadership-race-has-begun/?login=true

More cases like this are in this link. The Canadians being punished by the state for not believing in gender ideology Twice this month, Canadians been fined by a human rights tribunal for violating the legal mandate that gender is self-affirmed https://archive.ph/tD9U1#selection-2165.15-2169.126

You keep saying that, but you can't actually address or refer to any of my points. I explained it pretty clearly. If you can formulate a reasonable response to that rather than just express your outrage over and over in different words, let me know. 😑

Miller is proof that Lizardmen are among us. :)

Maybe 'The truth is out there' 'cause it sure as hell ain't here! (#1 alien suspect? Stephen Miller.)

and coyne leans consevative lol he still said it like it is

As usual, you didn't understand the point. Half the people of that riding voted for the left, so think for a change: what does that mean? And as Andrew Coyne said: "Poilievre didn't get a bump from the convention. In fact he's losing ground and taking the party down with him. And when you treat people badly on your way up, they'll remember it when you're on your way down." Expect more floor-crossings. Poilievre is a LOSER! The sooner you accept that, the sooner you can move on.

Your defence is that you feel you haven't l met the Criminal Code definition of treason and have only met the dictionary definition? Better start ranting about "The Left" some more, traitor. https://www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/politics/article/experts-say-treason-definition-depends-if-youre-holding-criminal-code-or-dictionary/#:~:text=In Canadian law%2C treason means,threatens Canada's defence or safety.

Did you see Bill Burr rip into Michelle Obama? "She's doing a book tour and selling out arenas.... What did she do? She didn't get elected, she just picks out the type of China they're gonna use for dinner at the WH. So what's she gonna write about? Chapter 1: "How to know if a dick tastes presidential." 😂 I like Bill Burr, but I was honestly not expecting anything that funny at that moment.

And @eyeball et al will be along shortly to say how it's CONSERVATIVES who are obsessed with gender issues and can't leave well enough alone.

Trump has made it clear he wants to destroy Canada's economy to force it to be annexed by the U.S. You can lie and pretend that isn't happening, but you're not fooling anyone. And Albertans aren't traitors just like Quebecers aren't traitors. Separatists are traitors, like you. But you're a fringe minority and you always will be. That's because the stress of COVID drove you batshit crazy and you never got over it.

1. Well it could have huge consequences. I'm not saying that it will, but it could. So we should at least get a framework in place to do something in case it gets worse. 2. Percentages of GDP. 3. I think the bulk of the population still sees this as a nice to have. 4. I will put my exchange with paxAmericana on the previous page is evidence. All I want is for people to have a factual exchange of ideas, and arrive at a reasonable conclusion. It drives me crazy that bad science gets floated around. That does happen in both sides of the question.

I disagree. Let me explain. 1. Google/Chrome works. 2. Open? Linux is complicated. 3. Microsoft? You pay. But the software is open. 4. Apple? The software is closed. The hardware works.

Or imagine if Prince Charles had died in a plane crash. We would have this guy on our money. Opening our parliament. ===== Strongly agree.
