OK, this one is hella funny.

Liberal operatives planted 'stop the steal' buttons at conservative conference | CBC News The Liberals planting false flags? Yes, we know. They did it during the Convoy.

More than 30 major business leaders are endorsing the Conservatives and urging Canadians to vote for real change on April 28. I can't recall another election where so many Canadian business representatives publicly endorsed a party. All of these people have witnessed the economic devastation firsthand over the past 10 years.

They're trying the abortion issue......again. This is a good sign the Liberals know they're in trouble.

Polievre said he would cut foreign aid. Trudeau gave away $11 billion to other countries just on gender crap. REVEALED: Trudeau spent $11,000,000,000 on overseas gender programs during tenure | Winnipeg Sun That $11 billion alone would cover all the issues you raised here - defense, healthcare education. And that's just a fraction of the money he gave away on horseshit, while our own infrastructure and institutions deteriorated.

Stephen Miran, widely viewed as the architect of Trump's trade policy, published a paper "A User’s Guide to Restructuring the Global Trading System" in November of 2024, laying out everything that has happened (as well as many things that are yet to come). The paper isn’t some vague philosophical rant: it’s a detailed policy playbook. Almost all trade is denominated, either directly or indirectly, in dollars. This leads to most countries, as their economies grow, becoming net dollar importers. This leads to trade deficits or dollar appreciation against their local currencies, making American exports less competitive. To Miran, this poses an existential threat to America, as dollar appreciation can lead to accelerating financialization of the American economy. Eventually, American's hollowed out economy undermines the dollars status as a reserve currency, leading to the collapse of the dollar system. The paper’s most important strategic insight: Being the global reserve currency has come at a deep, long-term cost: “As global GDP grows, it becomes increasingly burdensome for the United States to finance the provision of reserve assets and the defense umbrella, as the manufacturing and tradeable sectors bear the brunt of the costs.” In short: the U.S. has been subsidizing global growth, at the expense of its own industrial base. Miran views China and the Chinese mercantalist trade policy as an existential threat. "China has chosen to double down on its mercantilist, export-led model to secure marginal income, much to the rest of the world’s consternation." Miran also recognizes a key failure of previous China tariffs: they were too narrow. “To avoid the tariffs, many Chinese companies began exporting goods or components to third countries, engaging in some minor processing, and then re-exporting to the United States.” In other words, Chinese exports to the United States were simply rerouted. Universal tariffs aim to close that loophole by forcing trading partners to choose between China and America. So why start with across-the-board tariffs? Because they reverse the dynamic. Instead of asking for better trade terms, the U.S. grants tariff relief to countries that meet its conditions. “Such a tool can be used to pressure other nations to join our tariffs against China… If other nations… accept the higher U.S. tariff… at least they’re paying revenue to Treasury, and limiting the security obligations of the United States.” It’s a negotiation starting point. The end goal here is a tiered system: Countries are grouped by: -Currency behavior -IP protection -Market openness -Security alignment with the U.S. Each tier gets different tariffs. Multilateralism is out. Conditional bilateralism is in. And that’s not just a financial imbalance. It’s a geopolitical vulnerability. “Countries that want to be inside the defense umbrella must also be inside the fair trade umbrella.” This is about control of leverage. Market access becomes a tool of foreign policy. This is about building a new trade architecture that reflects American interests rather than global norms. Miran’s plan isn't nostalgia for 2018. It’s not about one country, one factory, or one industry. It’s a reconstruction of global trade with the U.S. market as the key prize, and tariff relief as the price of entry. It's unclear if it will work, or even if it's a good idea but at the very least there is a plan. The only real surprise is that people are surprised. Miran and others have said clearly what they would do. Now they’re doing it. Link to the paper: 638199_A_Users_Guide_to_Restructuring_the_Global_Trading_System.pdf

Interesting. Thanks for the share.

Where was the "Firing people is wrong!!" crowd during covid?

They all get pensions. None of them have declined them.

About 10 years ago, China started the Belt & Road Initiative, the purpose of which was to re-vamp world trade in their favour, so they dominate. Since then, Carney has worked on and profited massively from this trade initiative with the Chinese. I think Trump's trade tariffs are a response to counteract China's Belt & Road Initiative and this is why the US is tying tariffs to national security concerns. The Biden administration warned Canada about China's influence and the Trudeau Liberals did nothing. What Trump is doing economically is both bold and risky. Read Stephen Miran's November 2024 economic paper. He's advising Trump and the US economic policy is based on that paper. Carney and the Liberals are deciding for Canadians that we're going to side with the Chinese. It's only us and China that are retaliating. Remember that both Trudeau & Carney have publicly praised China's dictatorship for its ability to control its economy through controlling its people. It's why Carney did nothing when the Liberal candidate called for his conservative opponent to be handed over to the Chinese consulate for a bounty. It's why when that Liberal candidate finally did step down, Carney replaced him with another, even more Pro- China candidate. This election is pivotal. I don't think Canadians realize what is at stake. This is not about tariffs. This is not about Trump. This is an economic war between China and the US and the Liberals are aligning us with China. That's why Carney said our relationship with the US is "over". How many times does the Liberal party have to be involved with scandals involving China before you wake up? The vote is really: Do you want to continue living in a Western democracy or do you want to live like the Chinese people do?

Mmmm hmmm. Annette Verchuren and Stephen Guilbeault got more than a half billion between just the two of them. I'm sure eyeball will arrive soon to defend this. When Liberals do it, it's called "running the country."

"For the public good" To the Liberals that means the money all goes into their bank accounts.

Not now, biotech company, we kinda got a lot going on here right now.

This is how you get rid of the opposition.

The Liberals are draining the country's coffers before they go. With no sitting Parliament to oppose them, they just secretly authorized spending $40.3 billion of our taxpayer wealth on their programs — in the middle of an election. How? Executive decree known as an "order in council." Media coverage: Zero. I think this is illegal. Section 53 of the Constitution Act, 1867, very specifically states that "Bills for appropriating any Part of the Public Revenue, or for imposing any Tax or Impost, shall originate in the House of Commons" It's one of the most fundamental protections we have as taxpayers.

Imma go with "Because that's when he started funding gain of function research on coronaviruses at the lab in Wuhan." I'm sure its just another one of those "coincidences" that keep happening around the guy......sort of like China and Carney.

Ya? Then why did it go back to 2014?

It's not the government's job to look after your teeth. LOL You took medical advice from someone who needed a presidential pardon for giving it!! 🤣

You shouldn't. Watch this whistleblower expose Carney and the whole ESG, DEI, climate scam - Desiree Fixler. They have taken the entire world on a wild ride and they're laughing about it behind closed doors, while the machines count their money. I used to think Carney was just another climate hysteria ding-dong, but no.....he's the architect of it all and he is pure evil. I am a bit worried if he gets in.

The polls aren't so much "lying" as misleading. There was one I saw that they polled almost 3X as many boomers as anyone else, thus the result that Libs were in the lead by far. I trust the rallies. Conservatives are having massive rally turnouts. I trust what I see on social media - Lib propaganda is dominating, but the comments under the posts are not favourable.

Being an Alberta girl, I tried to watch it - it was amazing. There was so many people, the cell phone towers crashed, the livestreams didn't work. Even the Polievre team had trouble with it. I had to watch the rally this morning.

Chiang's replacement is a head-scratcher for sure. Carney replaced one CCP supporter with an even bigger one. This only makes sense if the Liberal party is 100% beholden to China.

The lower-middle class and the middle-middle class has been decimated. They will just keep going up the ladder, grabbing the feet of Canadians and pulling them down. It's mainly the boomers that are the next ones on the rungs that still have some money left, and the Liberals have been eyeing it for a while now, trying to figure out how to get it.......

The Liberal government kept prodding at the notion of taxing the home equity of primary residences. They repeatedly paid to study it & brought an "expert" to explain to their cabinet how it would work. They were drooling at the thought of taxing gains on Primary properties. They even had CMHC survey all lending institutions who issued insured mortgages and submit equity reporting (estimates) in 2020, so they could assess the potential haul of tax revenue. Don't think for one minute that they have given up on this potential revenue source. They haven't. Carney was advising the Lib gov't in 2020. Seniors considering a Liberal vote may want to remember this.
