Report from the CD Howe Institute, out today. Fiscal Fantasy: Believe It or Not, Fiscal Reality Hasn’t Gone Away – C.D. Howe Institute Canada can no longer pride itself on its fiscal discipline. With the economy operating near capacity and growth in productive capacity weak, governments continue to run deficits and project rising debt ratios, undermining growth and living standards rather than supporting them. Government projections understate the risks. Weak productivity, low business investment, and demographic pressures will hold back growth and revenues, while ageing, healthcare, and defense will push spending higher. Even modest changes in growth or interest rates could materially worsen the fiscal picture. Restoring discipline will take a real change in direction. Governments must rein in spending, set a credible path to balance, and pursue reforms that boost investment and productivity, including shifting the tax mix away from income towards less distortionary taxes. The federal government must lead the way in its upcoming Spring Economic Update. Fiscal excess has already undermined economic growth and living standards. Without bold action to reduce the burden of public debt, government-fuelled consumption will continue to cut into the saving and investment needed to raise our incomes and purchasing power – and increase the risk of a borrowing crisis to boot. The federal government’s upcoming fiscal update needs to outline a change of direction – a profound and credible one. The 2025 federal budget projected that the ratio of federal debt3 to GDP would still exceed 37.2 percent in 30 years. This projection exemplifies current lack of concern about large debts and fantasy about addressing them. International comparisons of gross debt are not nearly as favourable to Canada as they appear. Perhaps most conclusively, it is unconscionable to burden future generations for current consumption that they – living with an economy suffering from a decade of deficient saving and private investment – will not enjoy. Governments talk about their spending as “investment” that will boost growth. But the issue is whether the government or the private sector is better placed to make investments that will yield an economic return. When the economy is at capacity, higher government spending and borrowing reduce the resources available for private sector investment (Robson and Bafale 2025).

Brookfield has received $9.5 billion in Canadian taxpayer money since 2020, when Carney started "advising" Trudeau. $903M printed by the Bank of Canada to buy Enbridge bonds — while Brookfield was acquiring Enbridge's $4.31B Western midstream pipeline. $3.0B in Brookfield senior notes at 2.34% — rates only possible because of $440B in QE. $365M in federal contracts (BGRS relocations + direct BAM awards). $1.3B BGIS sale after a federal property-management contract base built on taxpayer dollars. $3.5B+ in nine documented CPP → Brookfield deals (2005–present). Feb 27, 2026: the CPP Investment Board signs an MOU with Brookfield to jointly build a 1,000-MW data center in Alberta. The Prime Minister's former company is now a joint landlord on what analysts expect to be the largest AI infrastructure project in Western Canada.

Carney ignores the ethics screen and meets with Brookfield execs any time he wants to. Committee found out "they are only a phone call away" from Carney. Clip from press conference on the review of the Ethics Acts in Canada and recommendations.

Please, Liberal supporters who agree with creating a New World order with China - Watch this video. It features committee testimony from Michael Kovrig (one of the Michaels imprisoned and held by China) and a breakdown of what inviting China into their economy has done to other countries. -

God bless the little Congolese children and their tiny fingers, working away in those cobalt mines. ❤️ Looks like we relaxed our view of slave labor just in time for the EV boom! -

🤣 Oh ya, I remember a bunch here filling their diapers because CBC told them he had dual citizenship with the US by birth. Then they all had to pipe down when Carney showed up with 3 citizenships and claiming to be "European." -
Blanchett and Polievre are actually agreeing on a lot of stuff lately. But CBC is only vilifying Poilievre for the views.

I know, right? CBC is nothing but Pravda for the Liberals. Every night, the brainwashed zombies are treated to "Conservatives bad, Liberals perfect." Right now, they're desperate to get rid of Poilievre. And the ones here who keep saying, "Oh, I would vote Con if they had a different leader." I call Bullshit. They'll believe whatever the TV says to believe. The media hated O'Toole and Sheer, too. O'Toole was Trump, too, remember? It doesn't matter who the Con leader is, they will get smeared 24/7 by the media and the zombies eat it up. -

11 years. 11 years of grifting parasitic Liberals using Canadians as their personal piggy bank to launder money into their own bank accounts. MPs press official on why $250-million ‘axe the fax’ digital prescribing program failed - The Globe and Mail "Mr. Green was not able to provide a clear picture of what the rest of the $250-million was spent on." "...Officials at Health Canada who testified...said that by the department’s counting, a total of more than $290-million in government funds have been spent on PrescribeIT."

The Liberals are not a political party. They're a cult. Carney is God. Whatever he does must be for the best. Don't think about it. Thinking is bad. Don't question anything. Questions are bad. -

Calls China Police A Partner | Blacklock's Reporter Chinese police are a law enforcement “partner” just like the FBI, say RCMP. Details of the partnership agreement with Beijing cannot be disclosed “without their permission,” says Deputy Commissioner Brian Larkin. -
So. Dan Hartman, from Ontario, lost his 17-year-old son Sean, 33 days and 2 emergency room visits after the Pfizer jab. Sean was found by his mother, dead on the floor of his bedroom one morning. He was Dan's only child. Against his father's wishes, Sean got the jab so he could continue to play hockey. He loved hockey. An autopsy revealed that spike protein from the jabs (Sean never had covid) accumulated in his adrenal glands, leading to liver failure and eventually, cardiac arrest in the early morning hours before his mother found him. His adrenal glands and liver were full of spike and his heart had become enlarged. Dan has lost the right to appeal the judgment that denied his right to bring suit against the government and Pfizer. Dan's claim submitted to the VISP was rejected by the Canadian government. Like almost everyone else's. In the judgment, the justice determined that even if the government forces everyone to take an experimental injection, the government has no "duty of care" to citizens. Let that sink in. The justice also considered Pfizer's response to the suit, in which they responded, that they had never claimed the jabs were safe or effective, that they had always claimed they were experimental and therefore should not be held responsible for any deaths. Let that sink in, too.
