What if having Canada-friendly Democrats in both legislative chambers actually makes 2027 and 2028 worse and more menacing for Canadians? I examine the possibility of a foreign-revenge executive with nothing to lose (and Miller pulling the strings)

Hey @grok what does this phrase mean? Where does it come from?
Replying to @DerrickEvans4WV
The phrase "Patriots in control" (or "Patriots are in control") originated in early QAnon drops on 4chan starting October 2017. Q used it repeatedly (e.g., drops 4, 2254, 3387) to claim military and political "patriots" held secret power over events against a deep-state cabal. It became a core reassurance slogan in that community. Hegseth's post echoes it directly.
Yup. Agreed. It was unnecessary and apparently on a whim. Of course so was cutting the additional GST point.
Reminder that Canada under the Harper government *did* raise the OAS eligibility age.
Had Trudeau not reversed this courageous reform, we would be spending $11 billion less on OAS by 2029, according to the PBO.
When OAS was created in 1952, the benefit began at age 70. Life expectancy was 68, and the ratio of workers to retirees was 8 to 1.
Eligibility is now at 65, with life expectancy at 81, and the ratio of workers to retirees down to 3 to 1.
The current system represents a massive, unjust intergenerational transfer of wealth which is obviously unsustainable.

Donald Trump, explaining why he eased sanctions on Russian diesel: “I want to thank President Putin, to be honest with you.” 1/13

Russia does not need another security agreement. It has the world’s largest nuclear arsenal, and absolutely nobody in Europe has the slightest desire to invade or occupy that miserable country.
What Kushner is describing as some magnificent new European security architecture is, essentially, the security system Europe already had before Russia decided international law was optional and its neighbours’ territory was available for collection.
We had treaties. We had security guarantees. We had diplomatic consultations. We had internationally recognised borders.
Russia violated them, invaded Ukraine, annexed its territory and turned European security into a catastrophe.
The problem was never a shortage of agreements. The problem was Russia’s refusal to honour them.
And now Washington apparently believes the solution is to sit down with Moscow and invent another agreement.
Brilliant. Perhaps this time Putin could promise to behave himself in writing.
Oh, wait. He already did.

Perhaps no chart illustrates more Mark Carney's balance-sheet style, leverage-to-invest economic program. Essentially, the federal government is borrowing heavily to invest in (and own) productive assets, at a level we haven't seen in a long time. It's ambitious at a time when we need ambition. But also risky. So it's absolutely vital we make the right investments here.

Does UCP’s new boundary map make an NDP win impossible? No.
But it clearly skews southern Alberta seats toward Danielle Smith’s party.
