CSIS Is Now A Threat To Canada's National Security
ironstone replied to Political Smash's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Governments choosing to ignore warnings from CSIS, such as Chinese interference , is certainly a threat to our national security. -
Are Alberta Separatists Committing Treason?
ironstone replied to TreeBeard's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
How can Alberta separatists be considered traitors when we have actual MP's sitting in parliament that are in all probability more loyal to China or other nations than they are to Canada? -
Liberals refuse to deport criminal migrants.

Even with a record of entering Canada under a false identity, it doesn't mean that the person in question can't still just re-enter. If at first you don't succeed, try try again. Immigrant who came to Canada using a false identity wins another shot at retaining citizenship https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/immigrant-who-came-to-canada-using-a-false-identity-wins-another-shot-at-retaining-citizenship -
Liberals refuse to deport criminal migrants.

Toronto hate crime suspect denied refugee status in 2018 One of the Toronto men recently charged following an investigation into alleged hate and extremism-motivated crimes targeting women and Jews was denied refugee status more than seven years ago, according to court records. Government records obtained by Global News show that Osman Azizov is an Azerbaijani citizen who, accompanied by his parents, crossed into Canada between official border points near Lacolle, Que., in 2017. The Immigration and Refugee Board rejected the Azizov family’s asylum claims in 2018, the Refugee Appeal Division denied their appeal, and the Federal Court declined to review the case in 2019, the records indicate. But Azizov was nonetheless living in Toronto when he was arrested in August for allegedly trying to kidnap three women at gunpoint. Police announced the charges on Dec. 19, saying some were “motivated by hate.” The 19-year-old and his co-accused, Farad Sadaat, 19, and Waleed Khan, 26, face almost 80 charges. Khan has also been charged with terrorism offences that allege he is a supporter of the Islamic State. There is no public record explaining why Azizov was still living in Toronto so long after his bid for refugee status failed, and neither the police nor his lawyer would comment. But a friend told Global News that after the family’s refugee claims were unsuccessful, they applied to stay in Canada on humanitarian and compassionate grounds and were accepted last year. It's pretty difficult to actually get deported out of Canada. https://globalnews.ca/news/11592707/osman-azizov-refugee-claim-refused-hate-extremism/ -

Search engine says there are more reasons than fraud to justify stripping someone of citizenship. Grounds for Stripping Canadian Citizenship 1. Fraudulent Acquisition If a person obtained their citizenship through fraud, misrepresentation, or concealment of material facts, the government can revoke citizenship. 2. Terrorism and National Security Citizenship can be stripped if an individual is found to be involved in terrorist activities or actions that compromise national security. This includes membership in groups that are involved in these activities. 3. War Crimes or Crimes Against Humanity Individuals who are found to have engaged in war crimes or crimes against humanity may have their citizenship revoked. 4. Dual Citizenship For individuals who hold dual citizenship, if they are convicted of specific offenses that threaten national security, they may lose their Canadian citizenship, depending on their circumstances. Legal Framework The relevant legal framework is outlined in the Citizenship Act, particularly sections related to revocation of citizenship. The process typically involves a formal investigation and due process, allowing the affected individuals the right to appeal the decision. This framework ensures that revocation of citizenship is not arbitrary but is based on substantial legal grounds aligned with protecting national security and integrity of the law. -
The most powerful crime syndicate in history

Maybe take a look at the Democrats too? How Nancy Pelosi’s Net Worth Changed Dramatically in Congress https://www.newsweek.com/how-nancy-pelosis-net-worth-changed-dramatically-in-congress-11005085 I'm not suggesting only one side has a corruption problem either. -

He hasn't 'disowned the vapid stupidity of the Trudeau Liberals'. It's practically the same bunch that's in charge with the musical chairs approach to cabinet positions. Carney was and is still laser focused on the insane net-zero agenda, which will be extremely costly to the country but will financially benefit him enormously. Don't be fooled by a temporary slowdown in immigration either. It will certainly skyrocket up again as soon as he gets his majority. C-15 will give companies like Brookfield exemptions from inconvenient federal laws...most Canadians, certainly most on the left are clueless about things like this. It will be full speed ahead for the insane trans agenda as well. Canadians can also expect the CCP to exert even more influence in our affairs now that Carney has chosen to embrace them. What specific 'Maga' type policies are you referring to which are in the Conservative platform?

Results from the party that always goes on and on about sustainability. The PBO released its Personnel Expenditure Analysis today. The federal bureaucracy cost taxpayers $71.4 billion in 2024-25, according to the PBO. The bureaucracy cost taxpayers $39.6 billion in 2015-16. That means the cost of the federal bureaucracy increased 80 per cent in 10 years. I suppose we have to get used to this sort of thing for those of us resigned to many more years of Liberal governance.

That alone kind of proves that Poilievre had it right all along. Doesn't matter that he had it right because they just hate him so much for whatever reason. If, or when Carney gets his majority, expect immigration to shoot right back up and the consumer carbon tax to return. What did Matt say about rising crime in 2023? https://www.facebook.com/CanadaProud.org/videos/liberal-crime-wave-in-edmonton/3498619430285203/

Carney himself admitted that Canada was already weak well before Trump came along. I have mentioned this a number of times but you likely wouldn't be aware of this admission because of your TDS affliction. You hate Trump...but have no issue with Carney bringing Canada closer to the CCP? I'm no Trump worshipper but he is without question, a much better choice than anyone on the Democrat side since they've gone so far left...just as Canadian Liberals have done since 2015. In your topsy turvy world, nothing bad in Canada can be blamed on the Liberals.

Rebates...government is giving back a tiny portion of money ...that was paid to the government....by the hard-pressed taxpayer. So in the eyes of a typical leftist....government is the hero...Mark Carney is the knight in shining armor coming to our rescue!🙄 A typical Liberal band aid 'solution'. The debt just keeps growing and growing. Always goes back to Trump doesn't it?

Keep cheering like it's a sporting event and your 'team' is winning. Meanwhile...https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/economics/2026/02/17/food-inflation-spiked-73-in-january-heres-whats-driving-the-increase/ Many Canadians are really struggling to put food on the table...and Liberals give rebates for pricey EV's?
-
There has been another floor crosser to the Liberals so now this is going to dominate the news cycle for weeks on end. Too many Canadians just don't seem to care what's happening to this country, or else they're perfectly fine with mediocrity.

Serious question, would you, as a Democrat supporter, like to see her run for the presidential nomination for your party? And if so, would you vote for her?
-
She does have a pretty big ego so it's possible that she might take a run for the nomination at some point. There are enough clips out there where it's clear she's not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but it hasn't hurt her popularity at all with Democrats. AOC is certainly a gold mine for memes though🤣 https://politicallyincorrecthumor.com/meme-galleries/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-meme-gallery/
