Everyone who claims that the moral rot on the left is an outlier example that doesn’t represent the party writ large needs to explain why none of it is ever repudiated, contested, or punished by the rest of the party.

“I worked hard, so I deserve to be rich.” This is one of the most common and destructive ideas of the left - and Karl Marx gave it intellectual respectability. Marx argued that the value of something is determined by how much labour went into producing it. The more hours of work embodied in a good, the more valuable it should be. This is the Labour Theory of Value, and it is fundamentally wrong. Water is essential for life but cheap, while diamonds are non-essential yet expensive, highlighting the difference between total usefulness and marginal value. A software engineer can create something used by millions in a few hours, while a manual labourer can dig ditches for decades and create almost nothing of lasting value. Value is not created by effort alone. It is created by scarcity and by how much someone else subjectively wants the end result. Marx’s theory treats value as something objectively embedded in production. In reality, value is discovered through voluntary exchange. Prices emerge from supply and demand - they tell us what people actually want and how scarce resources truly are. This is why every attempt to run an economy according to “labour value” has produced chronic shortages, misallocation and eventual collapse. Central planners had no real prices to guide them, only arbitrary calculations of “socially necessary labour time”. Hard work can produce something worthless. What actually matters is whether anyone else is willing to pay for what you produce.

I think it's fucking hilarious how the climate doomsday cult suddenly shut the fuck up the very instant their Big Tech overlords demanded giant, electricity-devouring data centers. Convenient, no?

PM CARNEY: "The leader of the Opposition doesn't believe in Canada." POILIEVRE: "We are not going to take lessons on patriotism from a guy who stashes his corporate cash in a tax haven and moves his corporate head office [Brookfield Asset Management] out of this country."

Ah, behold Alexis Graham, Director General of the Department of Imaginary Problems at IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) . She's the star of the show, sitting there in her cozy cardigan, gesturing earnestly like she's unveiling the cure for world hunger. Instead, she's pitching a taxpayer-funded international ad blitz to lure more foreign talent to Canada... right in the middle of a technical recession and sky-high youth unemployment. "Look at us! We're solving the crisis of not enough people competing with your kids for jobs!" Her entire role is peak bureaucratic make-work. inventing problems that don't exist (or worsening the ones that do), then proudly presenting solutions that involve spending more money to import the "global talent" that somehow can't be found among the millions already here or the young Canadians staring at "Help Wanted" signs while their rent doubles. In the real world... the one where profit, results, and accountability matter... she'd last about five minutes. No sales targets, no KPIs that actually tie to outcomes, just endless slides about "empowering connections" and "strengthening the economy" through more ads nobody asked for. She's got that serene, self-satisfied glow of someone whose job security depends on never questioning the machine. Brain-dead to the feedback loop she's helping fuel. Flood the market, suppress wages, strain housing and services, then shrug and ask for more budget to advertise. Canada's economic problems aren't a surprise, knowing that idiots like this are "fixing" them from their Ottawa bubble. She's unnecessary, meaningless, but somehow proud of it. Classic.

I mean, just LOOK at this nonce x.com/vladdyandamelia/status…

On this episode of The Bald Rachel Maddow show, more anger towards Pierre Poilievre for doing his job of opposing the government.

The same clowns who spent 2018 acting like Christine Blasey Ford’s uncorroborated story was the moral equivalent of the Zapruder film are now speed-running damage control for Graham 'P-Hustle' Platner like it’s their full-time job. Back then, an accusation with zero witnesses, zero evidence, and a lifelong friend who flat-out said she didn’t believe it was treated like a nuclear launch code. Destroy the man. Burn the nomination. “Believe all women” was non-negotiable scripture. Fast forward and their Senate candidate has ex-girlfriends on record describing him as demeaning, unfaithful, and physically rough ... plus actual texts, chats, and diary entries the New York Times bothered to look at. More paper trail than Kavanaugh ever had in his life. And these frauds suddenly discovered due process, political bias in the accuser, and the importance of not rushing to judgment. It’s almost impressive how quickly the “believe all women” app gets deleted from their phones the second one of their own is on the receiving end. No more automatic belief. No more “the allegation itself is the proof.” Just a quiet scramble to protect the guy who might finally hand them Susan Collins’ seat. They don’t give a shit about women. They never did. They give a shit about power, and they’ll memory-hole, minimize, or straight-up ignore anything that threatens it. Platner didn’t expose a double standard ... he exposed that there was never a standard at all. Just a weapon they pick up when it’s useful and drop the second it isn’t. Pathetic. Predictable. And exactly who they’ve always been. (article below)

Let’s talk about draft deferments. For example, asthma. Joe Biden got 6 deferments for Vietnam. The same amount as Donald Trump. Five deferments Biden received were for being a student. Cool. The last one he received after school was for asthma. Asthma. For a guy who was a lifeguard, and a football player, and talked about it all the time trying to pump himself up as a strong man. His official memoirs never mention the asthma. I wonder why.

IF CANADA HAS ENOUGH MONEY TO GIVE TO OTHER COUNTRIES… …our taxes are too high. IT’S THAT FUCKING SIMPLE.

No politician will take 'high-speed rail' when there are direct flights...

I don’t make $435,000 a year. I don’t have millions of dollars stashed in a tax haven. I don’t get gourmet cuisine on airlines. I don’t have a chauffeur, maids, or yard workers. I don’t censor speech that I don’t like. You don’t relate to my concerns Mark Carney.

If Alberta left, it would suddenly be as rich as Monaco. And eastern Canada could have a low-carbon, anti-American future its always dreamed of.

How about a compromise? Alberta can hold a democratic referendum. And these chiefs can go fuck themselves. Sounds like a fair balance to me.

Most middle and high schools no longer have students read the whole books. Pieces of them, maybe. But mostly, they are reading short passages. Kids need to read whole books.

I also got fuck all. Let’s all support the lazy Liberals and pay more of our “fair share” This is not right

Today, 18 million Canadians received a GST grocery rebate. My family pays more GST than the average Canadian, yet we don’t get a dime back. We’re apparently too “well off” to qualify, but not too well off to keep footing the bill while politicians spend taxpayer money like it’s monopoly money. Make it make sense.

This is peak Liberal economics: spend $90 billion on a “nation-building” project that most of the nation will never use, then call it transformational because it transforms taxpayers into ATMs. Canada is cracking under housing costs, food prices, health-care wait times, collapsing productivity, weak private investment, and a federal deficit machine that never sleeps. And Ottawa’s answer is apparently a luxury rail fantasy for a narrow Ontario-Quebec corridor while the rest of the country gets the bill and a brochure. “Change life as we know it” is doing a lot of work here. For most Canadians, life already changed. Rent ate the paycheque. Groceries became a math quiz. Young people got priced out of normal adulthood. Seniors are watching Ottawa spend like a teenager with a stolen credit card while being told their benefits are “unsustainable.” And the best line is that they admit most Canadians will not have access to it. That is not national infrastructure. That is regional vanity spending with national financing. This is the Liberal governing model in one picture: big announcement, bigger price tag, narrow benefit, national bill, smug faces, and a slogan taped over the hole where basic economics should be.

If Alberta stopped sending any money to Ottawa tomorrow... within weeks you'd find out just how much of the so-called federal services we finance. Ottawa is broke. The start-up costs of an independent Alberta are nowhere near $400 billion. Do we need embassies in every country the day after independence? How are is it to print our own passports? We already have the facilities. Do we really need Alberta Posts, or can we contract that out to a private organization? Are border points along the SK, BC and YT urgent? We can quickly staff the ones along the USA border with our own people. Our courts are sufficient. We can get someone to physically print some money for us, and back it with the Alberta treasury, or we can just adopt another currency for the short term. We can net out our share of the debt, with the $300 billion that the CPP Fund owes us. OAS continues unchanged for anyone already collecting it. EI takes a month to implement. It's all fear-mongering. Our ancestors started out with nothing, and built this province. We can do this.
