So much of the political discourse in Canada is just liberal supporters pretending not to understand things.
No, the PM doesn’t own Brookfield. Yes, Poilievre’s own investments benefit from Brookfield. Hard to sell outrage when you are full of it.

Mark Carney is a security threat to Canada.

It’s not the media’s job to translate what Carney meant to say. If he’s going to be careless in his delivery then it’s on him to clarify. Not the media. Not the PMO. Him. If he doesn’t choose to do that, then I will take him at his word in the English language.

This is a wildly irresponsible thing to say. Either he believes it, or he’s lying. Neither is good. Carney is not fit to lead this country.
🚨BREAKING: Carney claims the U.S. is a significantly greater national security threat to Canada than the Chinese Communist Party. “In terms of the security risks for our partnership, they’re much much much less than the security risks, for example, of the United States.”

Pierre Poilevre needs to be all over Mark Carney for his comments that the US is a greater security threat than China. This is a perfect opportunity to make a rational case for how out-of-hand the rhetoric has become and how irresponsible Carney is acting towards our neighbours. The recent midterm elections proved that democracy is still working in the USA. Can we say the same here?

Nothing says “conservative leader” like increasing immigration to unsustainable levels while dishing out 10s of billions in new debt-based spending.

Not only does this liberal minister not answer Aaron’s question, she lies by severely understating how much has been spent on reconciliation. It’s actually $243 billion since 2014, not $10 billion in 10 years like she claims.
When does reconciliation end? I asked the Liberal Minister Mandy Gull-Masty who serves as the Minister for Indigenous Services Canada. Full interview: youtu.be/esBUXyNUnQk

This actually isn’t the worst idea. But I would continue to invest heavily in the USA with my other accounts, and would only invest the amount needed to maximize the government grant in this one.
“Some people have suggested creating a “Maple Investment TFSA”, to encourage Canadians to invest more of their savings in Canada. Under this proposal, the Government of Canada would match a portion of money invested in eligible Canadian investments through a TFSA, up to a certain amount.” Support: 78% Oppose: 5% Pollara / Sept 15, 2026

Carney is going all in. He knows that TDS is fading and he has a limited amount of time to push his globalist agenda.
The Rural Community Immigration Pilot is now a permanent program: bit.ly/4Al76DY This is an important step to strengthen Canada’s economic immigration system and support our domestic workforce. The program will continue to help rural and remote communities address persistent labour shortages, maintain essential services to Canadians like healthcare and education, and support their long-term economic growth.

What people like Coyne never acknowledge is that percentages compound and total numbers add up quickly this way.
2100 = three generations from now. To get to 100 mil from 42 mil in 74 years entails population growth of a little less than 1.2 per cent per year. Actual population growth over the last 74 years: 1.44 per cent per year. So the scary, scary proposition that this professional fear-monger would like you to lose your mind over is ... to slow down population growth by about a fifth. No doubt if you had told people in 1952, when the population was less than 15 million, that Canada's population in 2026 would be nearly 42 million, they would have panicked, too. How will we ever feed all those people? How will we ever employ them? etc In fact, employment grew faster than population (4x vs 2.9x). Per capita GDP has more than quadrupled. etc etc. Or rather no, probably they wouldn't have panicked. Because our politics had not yet been overrrun by such chronic bed-wetters.

Mark Carney is promising to end homelessness in the next 10 years. Let’s look at the Liberal homelessness announcements and results since 2015. ANNOUNCEMENTS: 📍2015 - Justin Trudeau’s mandate letter supported Housing First initiatives to reduce homelessness. 📍2016 - Budget 2016 committed $111.8 million to help reduce homelessness. 📍2017/18 - The National Housing Strategy set a target to reduce chronic homelessness by 50% by 2027/28. 📍2019 - Launched Reaching Home some new Liberal strategy to help achieve their previous 50% reduction in homelessness target. 📍2020 - Speech from the Throne included a repeat of the 50% reduction promise. 📍2021 - Repeated promise to reduce homelessness by 50%. 📍2020 - Liberals promised to now eliminate chronic homelessness. Which brings us to Mark Carney’s promise this past Thursday, to eliminate homelessness by 2036. RESULTS: 😳$ BILLIONS spent by the Liberals and chronic homelessness is UP 34%. The Liberals are now asking for 10 more years! The only thing growing faster than homelessness, in Canada, is the Liberal government’s budget to fight the problem. How many more $ billions are the Liberals going to spend, to reduce homelessness, before Canadians demand real results?

The reason communism never dies is because envy never dies, and communism is little more than the politics of resentment - it is the desire to take from others and give to yourself, because you believe they have too much when you don’t have enough. It is really this simple.

Not to sound like a hippie, but it's not the end of the world if a Tim Hortons can't immediately find staff or a landlord can't immediately find tenants.

Liberals claim to hate slogans and then vote for this guy who speaks in nothing but empty metaphors and slogans.
Carney is already out of breath after a flight of stairs. Then comes the real workout: avoiding a straight answer. How do the US midterms affect his approach to the United States? Apparently, that’s his cue for a budget sales pitch. “We are masters of our own destiny.” Says the man who wants Canada under the EU’s umbrella. More independence… by tying us closer to Brussels? Asked about Washington. Selling us Brussels. Calling it sovereignty. Do you actually expect Canadians to swallow that?

Every few months Coyne makes some mild criticism of the liberal government and people are like “he’s finally getting it”. No, he’s not.
Andrew Coyne is bothered by Budget 2026 “They took that revenue windfall, that spending windfall, and they spent virtually all of it. At a time when economists are practically begging them, would you please get serious about the deficit and the debt.” “There’s very little on the productivity front. It’s just more or less the same as that last budget last year, which was such a disappointment.” “The issue is it’s got to all add up… in a half a trillion dollar budget [you should] find savings elsewhere.” @acoyne

People claim that this guy is “right wing”.
This is terrifying. We are joining the EU to fight climate change. This is the biggest GRIFT in world history.

This is good news. Hopefully they cut taxes while they’re at it.
Here come the cuts.
