  1. What role does the COO of Brookfield have to do with the subject of anti-Semitism here in Canada? Has Carney met with any other corporate leaders in which he has no financial stake to 'discuss anti-Semitism'? It reminds of Trudeau's Aga Khan scandal..just a family friend, no business involved.
  2. Carney met with Justin Beber in Parliament last October. Beber is the COO of...Brookfield Corporation. Carney claims that he met with Beber to....discuss rising anti-Semitism in Canada😒 https://www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/11/24/brookfield-executive-grilled-by-house-ethics-committee-on-carneys-ties-to-company-says-he-met-carney-in-october-on-the-hill-to-talk-about-rising-antisemitism-in-canada/483311/ What does meeting with a Brookfield executive(who apparently is not Jewish) have to do with the problem of rising anti-Semitism in Canada? You believe Carney hasn't met with anyone from Brookfield since becoming PM. He clearly has, and the anti-Semitism excuse seems pretty weak to say the least.
  3. 'Build Canada strong!' 'The world is a dangerous and divided place!' 'Bringing down the costs for Canadians and helping them get ahead!' These sound familiar? This time around, you praise the great banker with a hyped up record. The Liberals went head over heels for the drama teacher despite his repeated failures, and now have gone gaga for Goldman Sachs type banker with a long record of pushing policies that directly benefits himself. The worst part is, it won't matter if Carney is equally as bad as Trudeau for an equal period of time if history repeats itself.
  4. It's the same government basically. Same Ministers from the Trudeau era. Economic numbers are no better. You've clearly bought into 'it's a new government' talking point, hook, line and sinker. Doesn't matter to you if the economy is weak, you're too busy fawning over the polished, worldly banker to notice what's going on.
  5. From the link: Our economic institutions have catalogued, repeatedly, the same structural failures: a complex tax system that punishes investment, entrepreneurship and growth; a regulatory apparatus so stifling and unpredictable that capital flows elsewhere; protected oligopolies in key sectors (telecom, airlines, banking and agriculture) that face little competitive pressure to innovate; strained trade and transport infrastructure that can’t move our goods to global markets or people efficiently within our borders; an immigration system that drifted toward low-wage temporary workers who substitute for capital, displacing the high-skilled talent that complements it; and a public sector growing in size but declining in effectiveness and productivity. The Liberal government hasn't really addressed these problems much since 2015 have they? Who's been consistently calling for a reduction in red tape, raising alarms about the massive increase in the size of the public service, government spending, and revamping of our disastrous mass immigration policy for year now? Poilievre, the leader that gets hammered by the mainstream media day after day. Shout out to IamGroot for that VERY helpful archive link!
  6. The economic performance of Canada over the last ten years and even since Carney became PM don't really back up what most Canadians think about Carney and the Liberals.
  7. We can't blame Trump for the loony leftist policies in this country. But most Canadians are more focused (obsessed?) with Trump rather than the mostly self inflicted problems we face. Love him or hate him, Trump is doing what he thinks is best for his country. I don't get the same sense from Carney as I believe he is primarily motivated by greed and not what's best for Canada. It's not a 'war', it's a trade dispute. Are his reasons any different than Canada putting 100% against the Chinese EV's last year? No doubt the CCP thought Canada's reason was also 'ridiculous bullshit'. Why isn't Carney trying to resolve this dispute? Because the 'orange man bad' theme plays EXTREMELY well with leftist voters.
  8. Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, Bill Clinton, Joe Biden. All Democrats. Both Democrats and Republicans have put tariffs on Canada at one time or another. The prudent course of action from Canada should be to try and work it out. But not Mark Carney. All either imposed or maintained tariffs on Canada. At least for Clinton and Biden, I don't recall Canadians ever losing their minds over those actions like they have with regards to Trump. I don't think Carney cares too much about the impact on Canada since most of his wealth comes from American companies that he chose to invest in.
  9. Tell that to Barry Neufeld who was fined $750,000 by the BC Human Rights Commission for saying their are only two genders. C-63 sounds rather ominous according to some. "The Bill C-63 intends to increase penalties for what it deems the "willful promotion of hatred," raising the potential prison time from two years to five years. Furthermore, the legislation suggests that if someone is convicted of views supportive of genocide, the current maximum penalty of five years could be extended to a life sentence." https://www.tftc.io/canada-bill-c63-life-imprisonment-speech-crimes/ As far as 'trade wars' go, if Trump started a trade war against Canada by imposing tariffs, then by that same logic did Canada also start a trade war with China last October then they imposed tariffs on Chinese EV's? Trump tariffs-bad, Canadian tariffs-good?
  10. That's quite a lot of gullible people if they really take that seriously. Pretty sad when so many people think that the brutal Communist dictatorship of China is less of a threat than our good friends to the south.
  11. Canada’s wealth is quietly leaving — and everyday Canadians will pay the price A global wealth migration, redefining power hubs The Henley report notes that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) will lead global inflows in 2025, attracting an estimated 14,200 new millionaires. Other major gainers include Australia, the U.S., Singapore and Switzerland — nations that have fine-tuned their tax systems and investment immigration programs to appeal to mobile wealth. Conversely, traditional powerhouses like the United Kingdom, China, India and Canada are expected to see wealth outflows. Analysts link these exits to political polarization, heavy tax burdens and concerns over domestic policy uncertainty. https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/canada-wealth-quietly-leaving-everyday-121900240.html Notice that? Canada loses while the US gains.
  12. 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.
  13. If you have Netflix, there is a documentary about this guy on there. He basically faced zero repercussions while he was alive.
  14. With decisions like this one, I have to wonder how far is the reach of the far-left Human Rights Commissions ? Are massive fines possible for people in here who dare to question gender ideology or the mass graves story? Or any topic dear to the leftists?
  15. Do you seriously consider the US under the Trump administration more of a threat than China?
  16. Federal Cabinet office hiding details that will show PM Carney’s initial ethics screens were loophole-filled, unethical smokescreens PM Carney’s so-called “ethics” screen (which only applies to 103 additional companies that are within or connected to the Brookfield conglomerate of companies) is a loophole-filled, unethical smokescreen that allows him to participate in, and hide that he is participating in, almost every decision that affects the companies in which he is invested. As Democracy Watch detailed to the House Ethics Committee on October 1st during its ongoing review of the federal government ethics law, the loophole is one of a “dirty dozen” loopholes in the law. The loophole is that as long as the decision applies generally or affects a broad group of people or entities, then PM Carney is allowed to participate in the decision even though it will affect a business he is invested in, and even though he can profit from the decision. Almost all (99%) of decisions that the PM and Cabinet make apply generally or to a broad group of people or entities. Click here to see the loophole in the definition of “private interest” in section 2 of the Act. The screens also all hide the fact that the public office holder is not recusing themselves from decisions even when they have a conflict of interest. Subsection 25(1) of the Act requires a public declaration of recusal every time an office holder recuses themselves, but former Ethics Commissioner Mary Dawson created ethics screens to allow office holders to get around that requirement. They set up a screen, claim that they are recusing themselves from all decisions, and then can hide the fact that they are not actually recusing themselves from decisions that affect their financial or other interests. “The federal Cabinet office can try to hide from reality for the next few months, but eventually it will reveal details that will show that, because of a huge loophole in Canada’s federal government ethics law, Prime Minister Carney’s ethics screen is an unethical, loophole-filled smokescreen as it allows him to participate in almost all decisions that affect the companies he is invested in, and it hides the fact that he is participating in those decisions even though he has a financial conflict of interest and can profit from the decisions,” said Duff Conacher, Co-founder of Democracy Watch. https://democracywatch.ca/federal-cabinet-office-hiding-details-that-will-show-pm-carneys-initial-ethics-screens-were-loophole-filled-unethical-smokescreens/ The Ethics Commissioner did admit that he wasn't aware of everyone that Carney was meeting with.
  17. You keep treating Canadian politics like a sporting event with your team way ahead on the board. The rest of us are more focused on the state of the country over the last 10 plus years, and it isn't good. It's not just my opinion that Carney has numerous conflicts of interest, they do exist. He has met with Brookfield executives on several occasions so that doesn't say much for the blind trust does it? The Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner doesn't seem to be on the ball in keeping an eye on Carney and who he meets with. The media isn't really interested in how Carney is going to benefit financially from his policy initiatives.
  18. I think that pales in comparison to the current leader who has more conflicts of interest than any Prime Minister in Canadian history.
  19. One vote...two votes..three votes...four votes... See where this is going? Signature matching? Now how hard is it to forge a signature? And you seriously believe that poll workers are scrutinizing every single ballot? One YouTuber exposes how porous voting is in California. That old lady behind the counter in his video was asked 'how come you don't need voter ID in California?' Her response: 'you sign an affidavit that swears you're telling the truth...' Nick Shirley: 'illegal could potentially sign in someone else's name and they could vote? She responds: 'yeah...but they would be lying!' (and has a bewildered look on her face, as though she can't comprehend the idea of somebody lying) It seems like it's pretty easy for anyone to be able to cast a vote in your state. Opposing the SAVE act is about being able to cheat.
  20. It's been going on for some time in your state. https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/cbs2-investigation-uncovers-votes-being-cast-from-grave-year-after-year/ LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — A comparison of records by David Goldstein, investigative reporter for CBS2/KCAL9, has revealed hundreds of so-called dead voters in Southern California, a vast majority of them in Los Angeles County. "He took a lot of time choosing his candidates," said Annette Givans of her father, John Cenkner. Cenkner died in Palmdale in 2003. Despite this, records show that he somehow voted from the grave in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2010. But he's not the only one. Robo...how can a dead person cast a vote...repeatedly?
  21. The 'incriminating' photo of Trump that was described by Michael Wolfe but not actually published? Why are you not concerned with real photos of Bill in the hot tub? https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2025/12/1200/675/epstein-files-released-011.jpg?ve=1&tl=1
  22. 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
  23. So...a man who is routinely labeled as a dictator...gets stopped by the Judicial branch of government?
