To the Liberal government and @MarkJCarney: The OECD ranks Canada dead last — 38th out of 38 — for projected GDP per capita growth through 2060. Not a recession. A generation of relative decline. Ordinary Canadians get poorer compared to peers while you manage the slide. This is the direct result of 11 continuous years of Liberal policy: • Real GDP per capita stagnated while others pulled ahead. • Housing became dramatically less affordable. • Food costs crushed budgets (family of four groceries projected near $17.5k+). • Food bank visits hit a record 2.35 million a month (up 117% since 2019). • Federal debt roughly doubled; interest now ~$59 billion this year (>$1B/week, fastest-growing expense). • Private investment and capital fled under regulation, uncertainty, and project delays. • Rapid population growth outran housing, healthcare, and infrastructure capacity. Youth jobs suffered. You own this. It is not Trump, global forces, or “the world.” Look in the mirror. Stop the gaslighting and press releases claiming Canadians have “never had it so good.” Admit that Liberal choices since 2015 are the primary domestic driver of the decline in living standards — especially for young people and working families. Then reverse course: slash regulatory barriers on real projects, align immigration strictly with housing/jobs/healthcare capacity, prioritize productivity and private investment over announcements, and measure success by per-capita outcomes, not total GDP or government size. I have nine grandchildren. They inherit the debt service, the weaker labour market, the housing costs, and the lost years. Kitchen table first. Results, not spin. The clock is running.

I have zero trust left in the system. None. 519,000+ mail-in ballots in this Alberta referendum. In 2023 it was barely 51,000. There are nearly 600,000 temporary and permanent residents in this province who are not citizens and cannot legally vote. Elections Alberta does not require proof of citizenship for mail-in or in-person voting. Name and address is enough. They take your word for it. We used to run elections on the assumption that people would not try to game the system. That assumption is dead. High non-citizen numbers, massive mail-in expansion, and high-stakes questions about Alberta’s future and immigration do not mix with an honour system. Albertans just voted yes on requiring actual proof of citizenship to vote (passport, birth certificate, citizenship card). The people spoke. The system still runs on declarations and hope. For my nine grandchildren, this is not abstract. Loose rules plus zero trust equals stolen futures. Tighten it. Prove citizenship. Cut the mail-in free-for-all. Or stop pretending the results are clean.
