🚨BREAKING: The Liberals just voted against Bill C-264, leaving their Liberal tanker ban in place and preventing the export of crude oil from Prince Rupert on B.C's north coast.
This shows that Prime Minister Mark Carney is not serious about making Canada an energy superpower.

What’s Plan B, Mark Carney?
France, Germany, Italy and Greece objected to calling Canada an EU associate member. Now the label is gone from the draft summit declaration.
Will the media actually do their job and ask Mark Carney the tough questions?

Look at this misleading headline from CTV.
Headline: "B.C.'s incoming premier doesn't support tanker ban reversal pitched by Poilievre"
What Lorne Doerkson actually said:
“I don’t accept that we have to choose between protecting our coast and building our economy,” Doerkson went on to write. “British Columbia will do both.”
CTV is fabricating a situation to attack Poilievre. There's no place in Canada for this dishonest bullcrap.

🇨🇦 Canada has a strange economy.
Your house is worth a fortune, but your salary can’t afford one.
Your government collects more taxes, but somehow runs bigger deficits.
Your population grows, but living standards struggle to keep up.
Your bank reports billions in profits, while Canadians struggle with mortgage payments.
Politicians celebrate GDP growth while ordinary Canadians wonder why they’re getting poorer.
Canada doesn’t have a shortage of wealth.
It has a growing problem turning economic activity into prosperity for ordinary Canadians.
And that’s the number Ottawa doesn’t like discussing.

🇨🇦 Here’s the cruel irony of Canada’s latest interest rate hike.
The Bank of Canada wants Canadians to spend less to control inflation.
But millions of households are already cutting back.
Less dining out.
Fewer vacations.
Delayed home purchases.
Cancelled renovations.
Less money going into savings.
Meanwhile, higher borrowing costs put additional pressure on businesses already struggling to expand and hire.
And here’s what makes this particularly frustrating:
Higher interest rates can reduce demand. They cannot manufacture cheaper oil, build pipelines or fix global energy disruptions.
The Bank is trying to prevent inflation from becoming entrenched.
But monetary policy comes with a price.
A family renewing its mortgage doesn’t experience a rate hike as an economic theory.
It experiences it as less money left over after paying the bills.
Canada needs price stability.
But it also needs jobs, investment and economic growth.
The real danger is controlling inflation at the expense of an already fragile economy.

We have increased our interest rate to 2.50%.

That's part of the problem. The Trump factor rotting everyone's brain & making them incapable of seeing any other cause of our difficulties - mostly self-inflicted, is another. Who are they going to blame when Trump is gone?

CBC’s Courtney Dickson — a general-assignment reporter whose beat is wildfires, local features, and municipal code-of-conduct stories — published this: “Premier-designate Doerkson was appointed — not elected — interim leader of the party. What happens next?”
She frames an internal party constitution rule (interim leaders can’t stay permanent without an amendment) as if it creates real uncertainty about whether the man who just won a majority can actually be premier. No experts quotes (or sought) on party governance or constitutional law are quoted. She just asserts the procedural problem and leaves the implication hanging
Party constitutions are private association rules. The party can and routinely does amend them by its own process — exactly what the board already said it would do so a premier chosen by voters has “the certainty of leading his party.” That is not the same thing as the constitutional law of the province.
Treating an easily changeable bylaw as a serious open question about the legitimacy of an elected government is not analysis. It is a category error
Her editor should have flagged this and not have let this get steamer get published. CBC amateur hour! @brodiefenlon

When will the Elbows Up crowd finally face reality and admit that they were wrong?
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.

Remember CETA - the deal Canada currently has with EU. Premiers were actively involved. They had a seat at the negotiating table, and participated in MANY meetings
Seems like the Quebec Premier is the only Premier taking a stand against Carney basically abusing his powers

MARK CARNEY’S SOVEREIGNTY DOUBLE STANDARD.
Carney claims he walked away, at the last minute. From the last CAN/U.S. trade deal claiming Canada’s SOVEREIGNTY was at stake.
Now Carney is aggressively pursuing an unprecedented “associate membership” with the EU.
The whole point of an EU membership - YOU SURRENDER SOVEREIGNTY TO BRUSSELS.
If Mark Carney isn’t willing to cede sovereignty to the U.S., why is he unilaterally deciding, on behalf of Canadians, to surrender our sovereignty to Brussels?
Canada belongs to Canadians. Not to Mark Carney and not to Brussels.
Keith Teitge retweeted
This keeps happening because Cdns keep voting for it. Inexplicably.
How is it possible that in a democracy the governing party can repeatedly avoid accountability? Canadians have every right to question where their tax dollars are going, who controls the spending and why parliamentary scrutiny is being resisted.
This Liberal government has become synonymous with secrecy, obstruction and unanswered questions. Transparency isn’t optional and accountability isn’t a favour granted by the government. It’s an obligation owed to Canadians.
What exactly are they so afraid of revealing?
We seem to be under a dictatorship.

🚨 #BREAKING: 🇨🇦 Bank of Canada raises interest rates by 0.25% to 2.50%.
Here’s the economic contradiction.
September inflation: 3.1%
Inflation excluding gasoline: 2.2%
Gasoline inflation: 27.8%
And Ottawa’s central bank responds by making borrowing more expensive. 🤦♂️
Higher interest rates won’t produce another barrel of oil.
They won’t reopen disrupted energy supply routes.
They won’t bring global gasoline prices down.
But they CAN increase borrowing costs for Canadian households and businesses.
The Bank argues it must prevent energy inflation from spreading throughout the economy.
Fair concern.
But there’s another risk nobody should ignore:
Trying to fight a global supply shock by squeezing already financially stretched Canadian households.
Mortgage borrowers, small businesses and indebted families could end up paying for an energy crisis they didn’t create.
The question isn’t whether inflation matters.
It’s whether higher Canadian borrowing costs are the right medicine for an inflation problem largely driven by global energy prices.

🇨🇦🏦💳📈 : Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem announces a modest 25 point raise to the Canadian interest rate.
Borrowing money just got a bit more expensive, in a bid to counter inflation.
This may be only the start of higher interest rates, as Mark Carney is set to increase Canada's Federal debt by 50%, in a mere 5 years.

🇪🇺🛬🇨🇦🤡 : Mark Carney says his bid to integrate Canada with the EU will make us more independent & sovereign.
It certainly looks like Carney is interested in an agreement that would allow open travel from the EU into Canada for work & education, while granting Canadians the same access to EU member nations.
In no way will such an agreement make Canada more independent, nor more sovereign. It will actually do the exact opposite.

Every single time, Mark Carney provides a statement he mentions the world is more dangerous and divided
What’s it going to take for Canadians to realize the only person that’s making Canada dangerous, and divided is Mark Carney
