Shopping around for the least obnoxious Remembrance Day ceremony in Victoria. Preferably one with <2 land acknowledgements, no Quranic readings and minimal communists.

Repeat after me: wanting a functioning economy, prosperity, freedom, security, stability, and real leadership does not make you fringe, radical, extreme, far-right, or anti-Canada.

This is f*cking insane. Geoffrey Hinton, the Nobel Prize winner they call the Godfather of AI, was asked what AI will do to jobs. His answer: "For mundane intellectual labor, AI is just going to replace everybody" In 93 seconds, he explains why this time is different: one person with an AI assistant will do the work of 10 The new jobs everyone promises? If AI can do all routine thinking work, he asks what jobs are left to create Then the part that hits hardest. His niece answers complaint letters for a health service. Each one took her 25 minutes. Now AI writes it, she checks it, and it takes 5. So they need five times fewer of her He agrees it won't be AI that takes your job, it'll be a person using AI.

"Ottawa is helping low-income Canadians, but the lower middle class is feeling the squeeze, too. Over the past decade, the gap between household earnings and expenses has shrunk by 11% after inflation. Imagine working, being considered middle class, and still having to skip meals or turn to a food bank."

Bang on and after 50 or 60 years of Affirmative Action, also known as reverse discrimination, where gender and skin colour determine who is credentialed rather than merit, is it any wonder! #cdnpoli
Canadians like a lot of westerners are conditioned to trusting the experts which for several decades was reasonable but we have no contingency plan for when the highly credentialed become insane ideologues

Important Fact About Sam Cooper: The Liberal Government & All Liberal Operatives HATE SAM For the last 15 Years the Liberal Establishment has insisted everything Sam publishes is untrue or distorted But in the end, this is what we learn about Sam' work: EVERY WORD IS TRUE
Key post from @scoopercooper (Aug 24, 2026): “I’d be worried if I was a Canadian bank or developer etc with exposure to Iranian currency exchanges and Chinese underground banking, that is major exposure risk given Bessent’s announcement. Speaking of economic warfare. People don’t know the half of the tools available to DC.” @scoopercooper This was posted the same day Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent launched Operation Economic Outcast, an aggressive campaign to sever Iran’s financial lifelines (including digital assets, secondary sanctions on facilitators, and targeting networks enabling IRGC funding). home.treasury.gov

Wife of @NDP leader Avi Lewis says the quiet part out loud. I can also hear her say it with a Cuban, Chinese, or North Korean accent 😎
Good news for when you are nationalized.

And if you can’t pay your bills, find work, affordable food or fuel, continue giving Carney The Deceiver, your unqualified support, Elbowzos This isn’t about breaking this generation, it’s about indenting future generations
This guy is such an arrogant shyster isn’t he? The "debt-to-GDP down three percentage points" is measured against the previous budget's projected path, not against the reality of today. The PBO projects the actual ratio rising, from 40.8% this year to 42.6% by 2030-31.

The “jokes” about Charlie Kirk are heinous for reasons that have nothing to do with the fact that I agree with his politics. There is just something especially callous and soulless about gloating over a brutal, bloody murder we all saw with our own eyes. He was a young man and father of young children. We saw him get shot in the neck. The blood pour out. The natural human reaction when seeing something so violent, bloody, and shocking is to be moved and shaken by it. If instead you’re gloating and joking, it shows that this human part of you is dead. You truly are a soulless goblin in a way that’s only vaguely distinguishable from the guy who actually committed the murder. That’s what makes your callousness so disturbing for those of us who still have souls. We’re human and you no longer are. And that makes you a monstrosity to us. We’re not “offended” so much as revolted by the sight of you. You’ve become the spiritual equivalent of a maggot eaten corpse. You are a grotesquery, a morally disfigured beast.

Or as Thomas Sowell put it DEI is just DISCRIMINATION under new management.
Calmly and shamelessly, Canadian Senator Kristopher Wells explains that Canada must discriminate legally and officially against heterosexual white men. Sick, sick, sick.

BINGO
It’s really quite sickening that the people who celebrate Charlie Kirk‘s assassination are the “good guys“ in our current body politic and the “bad guys” are the people that love America, love law and order, and love civilization.

This week, American voters gave President Trump a "minority government" of sorts, preserving checks and balances. Smart. Canadians voted for a "minority government" under Prime Minister Carney in 2025, but that’s not what they ended up with...

Politician: I hate your culture, your civilization, your religion, your society, your people. I hate your music. I hate your dogs. I hate your literature. I hate your personal freedoms and liberties. I hate everything about you. Everything. Electorate: Sure but do you hate Trump? Politician: Yes. Electorate: Well then, I see no reason not to vote for you. You've earned my vote.

It's weird that the U.S. cares more about terrorist financing in Canada than the RCMP or CSIS do. Strike that: I'm sure the RCMP and CSIS care. But Mark Carney and Gary Anandasangaree are more interested in ethnic voting blocs than public safety. home.treasury.gov/news/press…

He's literally in front of the guy who promised to end homelessness in Vancouver, only to immediately send homelessness into stratospheric new heights of hunan misery.
Budget 2026 lays out our historic plan to end homelessness within the next decade. We just launched it today in Winnipeg. We’re building on what front-line workers have taught us — and bringing help, housing, and health together.

What baloney. Funny that some indigenous have done very well by starting businesses & enriching their communities in the process. The ones who fell into the welfare trap have struggled, just like everyone who fell into the welfare trap. More proof dependence on govt is a poison.
Wab Kinew: "The challenge for Indigenous people in Canada has never been that Indigenous people don't know the solutions. Absolutely we do. The challenge has been that we didn't have access to the resources and to the decision-making tables to make that happen."

Canada’s become a predictable cesspool of organized and transnational crime, money laundering and terror funding. Politicians at every level have ignored this threat put on the map by @scoopercooper well over a decade ago. The Willfully Blind-blind sided by the obvious.
All Canadians should be concerned by the @USTreasury’s announcement that its Office of Foreign Assets Control has had to sanction eight Canadian businesses for enabling Iran’s Islamic regime. CIJA has long called on the Canadian government to ensure that Canada is not used as a safe haven for the IRGC, its operatives or other elements of the regime. This is about far more than illicit financial activity. It is about individuals and networks operating in Canada to support a despotic regime that murders tens of thousands of its own people, exports terrorism around the world, launches missiles and drones at its neighbours, and arms Russia with weapons used in its horrific war against Ukrainians. As the Canadian government advances its new National Security Strategy, with an emphasis on strategic autonomy, it must take decisive action against Iran, its proxies and their networks operating in Canada. Canada cannot be a safe haven for those who facilitate sanctions evasion, finance the Iranian regime or enable its global terror operations. home.treasury.gov/news/press…
