I have put together every single screenshot I could find from the PMO documents where Carney has said “In a dangerous and divided world”
Every yellow highlight you see is him saying or using that line.
Out of 123 press releases, statements, videos & speeches he said it 146 times!
This is a high res jpeg, so you can zoom in and see each one.
I’d say him using that line on Canadians has gone too far.

Albertans work hard for their money, and when they spend it, they should be able to buy with confidence.
Bill 34, the "Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction Statutes Amendment Act" puts common sense back into consumer protection:
✅ Lemon laws so you can get a refund or replacement when a new vehicle has serious defects that can’t be fixed
✅ Right to repair, so farmers and families can get the parts and information to fix what they own
✅ Credit freezes to stop fraudsters opening accounts in your name
✅ Fair ticket resales, with clear prices and fees, and no more bots buying up seats
✅ A dedicated Surface Rights Board for landowners again
Your money, your purchases, your rights. That’s what this Bill 34 is about.

In the 2023 election, the UCP won 53% to 44%.
But had it been just 1% different (52% to 45%) the NDP would have been government.
If anything, the current map is massively gerrymandered in favour of the NDP.
Restoring balance is not the same as gerrymandering it the other way.

Mark Carney promised to make Canada an energy superpower. Today, his Liberals voted against Conservative Bill C-264 to repeal their shipping ban.
Strathcona Resources has proposed exporting up to 250,000 barrels of Canadian oil a day through Prince Rupert, but the ban stands in the way. Repealing it would open the door to proposals like this, creating opportunities for Canadian jobs, private investment, and new export markets beyond the U.S.
The Liberals had a chance to work with Conservatives to open new markets for Canadian oil and reduce our dependence on the U.S. Instead, they voted against Bill C-264. Energy superpower promises, same old Liberal roadblocks.

Alberta separatists had their referendum, and the people of Alberta spoke resoundingly.
You can now either have a UCP government led by Danielle Smith, or an ANDP government led by Naheed Nenshi.
There is no third option.
Choose accordingly.

Total garbage. @DonBraid is literally just regurgitating exactly what is NDP buddies are telling him. Would be nice if he represented both sides of an issue for once.
One of the most respected court of appeal justices in Alberta history is chairing the boundary committee. It’s a lie to say that it’s the UCP. The maps aren’t even available yet (though clearly leaked to the NDP by someone).
In addition, Judge Miller and half the NDP caucus complained that there should be 2 additional seats added to account for population growth. So that was done and left to the independent judge-led committee to figure out how to do it. I assume they have done so.
Further, last election the NDP lost the popular vote by almost 10 percent and still almost ended up winning the most seats. So obviously they don’t want any change whatsoever that could level the playing field.
How do you explain that Don? Did the NDP gerrymander the map last go around under Notley? Was the 2023 election undemocratic too?
The UCP isn’t making that claim because it’s disrespectful of the people - including the judge - who did the hard work of determining those past boundaries.
Your bias is so clear Don. It’s disturbing.

I’m calling Mark Carney’s bluff.
A Canadian energy company will pay to upgrade the Port of Prince Rupert so it can ship 250,000 barrels per day of Alberta energy by rail to the Pacific Ocean.
There are supportive Conservative governments in Saskatchewan, Alberta, and now in B.C. The public supports diversifying our economy away from the United States. Our environmental protections remain world-class.
This is as close to unanimous as we’re ever going to see in a democracy of 40 million people.
All you have to do is extend the same exemption to the tanker ban that you’ve given to the Port of Vancouver.
This doesn’t need a new committee, a new major projects office, or a nickel of Canadian taxpayer money, and It’ll create jobs across the country to build new rail cars.
So what’s it going to be, Mark?

But can we agree that promoting LNG and mineral exports out of a mostly ice-covered port in Churchill using icebreaking, is a lot riskier than sending double hulled oil tankers out of Prince Rupert, which can already accommodate shipping containers that carry 50,000 barrels/8000 m3 of petroleum fuel in their own tanks?
Can we agree there are different standards being applied for political, rather than scientific or technical, reasons?

“AM I A DEI HIRE?
What a terrible question to have hanging over someone’s career simply because of the colour of their skin.”
That question will hang over you, and many others, as long as DEI hiring is a thing. The only way to remove that question is by removing DEI hiring.
AM I A DEI HIRE?
What a terrible question to have hanging over someone’s career simply because of the colour of their skin.
Imagine spending years studying, working hard, making sacrifices and earning your qualifications, only to have someone quietly wonder whether you got the job because of your abilities, or you are another DEI hire?”
Think about how insulting that is. Years of hard work and achievement reduced to race. And here’s the cruel irony: policies intended to empower minorities can sometimes leave them having to defend the very success they worked so hard to achieve.
Let’s be clear. Racism and discrimination exist everywhere you go in the world. And for sure, civilized societies must confront them. And I believe many people who support DEI genuinely want to create a fairer society. But good intentions don’t always produce good outcomes, and we should be willing to question whether our approach is helping or hurting.
I want an Alberta where every child can grow up believing something simple: If I work hard, develop my abilities and earn my qualifications, I will have a fair opportunity to succeed.
Not because someone owes me a position. Not because an institution needs someone who looks like me. And certainly not because my background should define what others expect of me. But because I have something valuable to contribute.
That’s what true inclusion should mean. Creating a fair opportunity for people to enter the room, contribute, succeed and be respected without anyone questioning why they’re there.
That is why I wholeheartedly welcome Premier Danielle Smith’s government decision to introduce legislation aimed at putting merit and qualifications at the centre of public-sector hiring. Credit where credit is due!
The Premier is bringing an important debate about merit, fairness and individual dignity into the open.
We should NOT lower the bar but definitely remove the barriers. That’s exactly what this legislation is going to fix.
DEI is nothing but replace discrimination with another form of unfairness. And don’t reduce anyone’s achievements to their race.
Your skin colour is part of who you are. It should never be the explanation for what you’ve achieved.
That’s the Alberta I believe in.
And that’s why I support Premier Danielle Smith’s proposed public-sector hiring reforms. I admire her courage in tackling an issue that too often gets buried under political correctness and fear of controversy. Whether people agree with every detail or not, this is a debate worth having.
Leadership sometimes means having the courage to challenge conventional thinking, ask uncomfortable questions and stand up for what you believe is right, even when it isn’t politically convenient.
That’s the kind of courage I respect in Premier Smith. And that’s why I support her.

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING -
EUROPE IS GOING TO CHARGE US A CARBON TARIFF.
You paid a carbon price for years.
Now, Canadian iron, steel and aluminum are NOT exempt.
Total exposure? $2.8 billion a year.
Starting in 2027.
Global Affairs own memo called it "effectively a 'carbon tariff.'" 😭
And it lands the same week Carney hosts the EU summit in Montreal.
The Liberals hit us with carbon taxes for years.
NOW EUROPE IS GOING TO TAX US ANYWAY.
Imagine what they would do to us if we joined.

‼️MAJOR BREAKING: Carney's entire plan has collapsed.
First, the EU is preparing carbon tariffs that will hit Canadian exports hard, adding costs to steel, aluminum, cement and other goods as Brussels pushes its climate agenda onto trading partners.
Now comes a second blow: the EU has withdrawn its offer of associate member status for Canada, per sources to CBC.
EU members were not on board.
Carney's entire plan has COLLAPSED.

This is why Mark Carney needed the numbers he got.
A functional majority (helped by floor-crossers who abandoned the voters who elected them) means almost zero real accountability for three more years. Committees can be shut down when the questions get uncomfortable. Debate gets limited. The government marks its own homework.
And that is exactly the setup required for the spending machine.
Every week another billions-dollar announcement. More “investment.” More “assets.” More money funneled through Crown corporations, special funds, and capital projects that don’t fully hit the deficit the way ordinary people understand debt. The PBO has already warned that real cash borrowing over five years is projected at $733 billion while reported cumulative deficits are only $333 billion. The gap is deliberately parked off the books that make the headlines look less ugly. Accrual accounting lets them call spending an asset instead of a liability. Interest payments—the fastest-growing federal expense—still have to be paid by taxpayers either way.
No COVID. No genuine national emergency. Just permanent crisis rhetoric about a “dark and dangerous world” while domestic results get worse and the debt load grows. With majority control, there is almost no one left in the House who can force a hard stop or real transparency.
My nine grandchildren are the ones who will live with the interest bill, the higher taxes or the service cuts that eventually follow. When a government can announce new spending faster than the independent budget officer can track the true cash cost, and when parliamentary scrutiny can be managed or delayed, the system is no longer restraining power. It is enabling it.
Wake up. The accounting is creative. The power is concentrated. The trajectory is not sustainable. Name it. Demand better.

Each time you hear Carney say “In a more dangerous and divided world,” know that it’s an age-old fear mongering tactic so that you don’t question when he:
1) introduces new laws to limit more of your freedoms
2) spends more of your tax money on government bureaucracies
3) spends more of your tax money outside Canada
It’s that simple folks. Hopefully you recognize the pattern next time he does it.

Bank of Canada raises interest rates by 0.25% to 2.5%.
Complete stupidity.
Bank of Canada's rate has no impact on energy prices. Zero.
And if you remove the impact of gasoline prices from Canada's CPI by every measure they trending lower and with the Bank's range.
While Canadians are losing jobs, record unaffordability and surge in insolvencies, the Bank of Canada decided to make Canadians' lives more expensive 🤦🏼♂️

WHERE ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE GOING TO LIVE?
Michelle Rempel Garner just torched the Liberals in Question Period for jacking up immigration while their own officials warn about housing.
The Liberals' answer? A canned talking point.
Then she brought up the housing minister's reported $10 MILLION real estate portfolio: "That must be nice."

‼️BREAKING: EU to Hit Canada with Carbon Tariffs
All is fair in love, war and trade!
In a stunning blow, the EU is imposing carbon border charges on Canadian steel, iron, and aluminum starting 2027.
-$2.8 billion in exports exposed — no exemption for Canada despite its own carbon price.
-Internal docs call it “effectively a carbon tariff.”
Quebec and Newfoundland hardest hit as Ottawa pushes EU trade diversification.
-Canadian producers face new compliance costs and higher prices on metals already slammed by U.S. tariffs.
-The EU is weaponizing climate policy into a direct trade hit on Canada.
The EU is applying its Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) to Canadian steel, iron and aluminum to stop “carbon leakage”.
Our new best friends dont even want our stuff! How brutal is this?
