Here’s what disgusts me the most about Canada: It is run by corrupt assholes. And about half the country is fine with it as long as it benefits them.

Please stop calling me Maple MAGA.
I’m MCGA .. Make Canada Great Again. 🇨🇦🏴☠️
My extremist demands include affordable groceries, a functioning healthcare system, reasonable taxes and a house that doesn’t require generational wealth.
Apparently, that’s far-right radicalism in Canada now. 😉

No province—not Quebec, not New Brunswick—should receive a penny of federal transfer payments if it refuses to develop its natural resources.
New Brunswick’s refusal to develop its massive shale gas reserves while relying on federal transfers (largely funded by Alberta and Saskatchewan’s resource revenues) for 40% of its provincial budget is pure hypocrisy.

PROPAGANDA WORKS. AND REPETITION IS ITS GREATEST WEAPON.
Look at these polling numbers. After years of economic frustration, housing problems, declining affordability and concerns about public services, the Liberals are sitting at 45%.
How does that happen?
I think the relentless Carney ass-kissing and constant smearing of Pierre Poilievre have a lot to do with it.
You don’t need a grand conspiracy to influence public opinion. You need repetition, selective coverage and carefully chosen narratives.
Psychologists call one part of this the illusory truth effect. Repeat a claim often enough and people become more inclined to believe it. Add framing and the availability heuristic, and you can influence which issues people notice, remember and associate with particular politicians.
Present Carney as the sophisticated statesman who can do no wrong. Portray Poilievre as angry, divisive and dangerous. Repeat those impressions 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
Eventually, familiarity starts passing for evidence.
And here’s the clever part. Propaganda doesn’t always require outright lies. Selective facts, convenient omissions, emotional language and unequal scrutiny can shape public perceptions without anyone having to invent a single statistic.
I’m questioning whether both men consistently face the same standards of scrutiny.
A poll measures public opinion. It doesn’t explain how that opinion was formed.
Instead of judging politicians by carefully manufactured impressions, Canadians should be examining results: productivity, purchasing power, housing affordability, healthcare access, government spending and economic growth.
The question isn’t whether Carney looks good on television or whether Poilievre makes journalists uncomfortable.
The question is whether Canadians are better off.
Democracy depends on informed citizens. Propaganda depends on people confusing repeated impressions with established facts.
And judging by the political conversation in this country, we could use a lot more critical thinking and a lot less political cheerleading.

How did the news that Prime Minister Mark Carney was giving his wife $1.2 Billion dollars to be Canada's "Ocean Envoy" go with such little media coverage, let alone media scrutiny.
Dude gave his wife a $1.2 BILLION budget to pretend to be Aquaman or whatever an "Ocean Envoy" is supposed to do and most people just let that news slip past unnoticed.
Is she gong to talk to narwals about climate change?
Somehow Canada survived without an "Ocean Envoy" up to this point but apparently now we need Diana Fox Carney to don the Aquaman suit and go fight suspicious barnacles or something.
Goodness...

What do you know? Another misleading title, this time from CityNews. "Nearly 75% of Canadians" is not accurate. its Canadians POLLED. Last I checked I didn't get a poll on what I thought about seeking closer ties with Europe and neither did nearly everyone reading this post.
It's very easy for them to poll a thousand people in a liberal city and then say 75% of Canadians support this to manipulate public opinion.
Nearly 75% of Canadians think Mark Carney is on the right track seeking closer ties with Europe, new polling shows. toronto.citynews.ca/2026/10/…

Since 2015, the Liberals have spent more than every other government in Canadian history COMBINED.
What's really scary is that all that borrowing was done at extremely low interest rates, and now those bonds are rolling over into new, and more expensive, debt.
That's not stopping Mark Carney. He's spending more, and faster, than at any time outside of World War II and COVID.
The combination of massive deficits and a large national debt, with ever-increasing costs to service that debt, is a genuine threat to the economic future of this country.
We've seen this all before too. Guess who pays when the bill comes due? You.

Elbows up?
Carney's Liberals move security contract from the Commissionaires to Trump and ICE affiliated Allied Universal of Pennsylvania.
Goes against every ounce of rhetoric from Carney.

The main objective of Canadian mainstream media now is to convince Canadians that most other Canadians support what the Government wants them to support.
As soon as you see the words "poll suggests" you can completely disregard the narrative as blatant propaganda.
100% psyop.
Majority of Canadians support closer formal ties with European Union: poll

Since 2020 our Liberal Government has spent $54 billion dollars on “Green initiatives” They gave $26 billion to Ukraine, during the last decade they have spent $11.2 billion dollars overseas on “gender studies” and have spent $44 billion dollars on “development assistance” across several countries.
That’s $135 billion dollars on just these 4 things alone. If a Government can give that much money away, we are being taxed too much.
To put that number into perspective you could build 20-30 mega hospitals across Canada, or up to 90 Large regional hospitals.
With zero accountability comes unimaginable abuse of tax payers money.

Three years ago today, Hamas terrorists launched a brutal, sinister attack on Israel and the Jewish people.
I have stood on the ground where those attacks happened, breathed the air in the burned out homes.
I will not forget and I stand with those attacked, not the attackers.

OCTOBER 7, 2023: SHE KNEW SHE WAS GOING TO DIE.
Libi Cohen-Meguri, a 22-year-old infantry officer, went to the Nova music festival.
She was shot while fleeing the party. At 8:11 a.m., she called her parents and said:
“I’ve been shot in the stomach, I’ve been shot in the arm, I’m losing blood. I’m going to die.”
Calmly, quietly, she understood; these were the last minutes of her life.
She asked her parents to call Tomer, her twin brother, and Maya, her little sister, and said:
“I’m going to die. I just want you to listen to me.
I love you, Yariv. You’re the best father I could have asked for.
Mom, stop screaming. Just listen to me. You are the best mother we could have ever had. Don’t forget to be a good mother to Tomer and Maya after I die.
Tomer, how lucky we were to live this life together. I love you.
My Maya, never forget—you are the treasure of my life.”
When she finished speaking, her parents told her to get out of the car, lie down on the road, and pretend to be dead.
With her last bit of strength, she got out of the car and laid down on the road.
“Mom, they’re coming to shoot me again,” Libi said after lying down.
While her mother listened on the phone, shouts in Arabic could be heard, and then a barrage of gunfire.
It didn’t stop.
It kept going, until the call was disconnected.
And that’s how Libi died—with demonic beasts from the pit of hell standing over her and emptying a full magazine into her body.
Libi died with LOVE on her lips: love for life, love for her family, and love for her people.
Her memory will forever be a blessing.
NEVER FORGET.
NEVER FORGIVE.
NEVER AGAIN IS NOW.
Israel is hunting down every single Palestinian and Hamas terrorist who participated in the October 7th Massacre—to kill them all.
They’re living on “borrowed time,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
Sooner or later, every one of these monsters will be found and eliminated.

Quebec wants to leave.
Alberta wants to leave.
Mass exodus of Canadians looking for better lives.
46% of businesses looking to relocate to the US.
Record personal insolvencies.
Record small business bankruptcies.
Record food bank usage.
Record homelessness.
Yet the media will tell you Canadians whole-heartedly and unconditionally LOVE Mark Carney.
Something stinks.

Too many people in Eastern and Central Canada don't understand the very real grievances that Alberta has.
They don't get addressed.
They are dismissed.
This is part of why we are headed towards a referendum on exploring separation.
Try listening to them.

Relying on a Liberal to get a pipeline built is like hiring a vegan to run a steakhouse.
You’ll get a lecture, a new tax, and leave hungry. 😂

Liberals care about one thing, and one thing only. Getting power and holding onto power. They will say whatever it takes and this is on full display to anyone who is paying attention.

Mark Carney had a month’s notice that Canadian made spirits, dairy, whey, and motorcycles would be banned from U.S. import at midnight this morning.
Canadian alcohol to the U.S. is $1 billion in sales per year.
He did NOTHING to prevent those bans from happening. He did the opposite.
He encouraged them to happen because it helps him politically.

Subsidizing every business affected by economic events in perpetuity is not a plan. You are incompetent and ignorant, playing a game for people who don't have the best interests of Canadians or Ontarians at heart.
