What a world we live in. The "health columnist" of one of the major papers in Canada is celebrating the government-sanctioned murder of 100,000 Canadians. Thousands of people were bullied or deceived into accepting death at the hands of the government, instead of receiving the help they needed for loneliness, old age, disability, depression, or mental illness. Some of them died in terror, literally drowning as their lungs filled with fluid as drugs were administered to kill them in a way which would be illegal for the execution by lethal injection of a condemned criminal. Others were murdered by their own family members and medical staff who put them to death even as they cried out for help, and clearly indicated they wished to live. There is no medical, moral, or any other justification for government-sponsored death for the innocent. Modern medicine is more than capable of providing dignity and comfort in the final days of those whose time on this earth is coming to an end. And yet, rather than dignity and comfort, the suffering are being offered execution. Meanwhile, thousands of elderly have seen doctors or hospital staff for various, sometimes trivial ailments, and instead of receiving love and care, have been offered death instead. What foul sulphuric entity has left the gates of Hades to take up residence in Canada's soul? What is the name of the dark, lurking evil which covers our land, blocking the light, its foul, decaying breath assaulting our senses as it whispers in cloying tones, "Death is sweet. Life is not sacred"?
In the first 10 years of MAID, more than 100,000 Canadians have averted unnecessary suffering at end-of-life. That's cause for celebration. Assisted death has become a significant ritual, not a 'slippery slope,' by @picardonhealth theglobeandmail.com/gift/0fc… via @GlobeDebate

Canada does not need blind loyalty. It needs honest citizens. A government that demands applause has usually stopped earning trust. A serious country can handle questions about speech, debt, crime, immigration, energy, health care, and basic competence. Free citizens do not owe the state obedience. They owe their country something better: judgment, courage, memory, and the nerve to say no when power gets too comfortable. Canada was not built by people who clapped on command. It was built by people who worked, argued, voted, paid taxes, raised families, defended freedom, and expected government to know its place.

Ayn Rand’s warning was not about some distant dystopia. It was about the moment a country starts punishing production and rewarding political access. Look at Liberal Canada. If you want to build, drill, mine, farm, hire, invest, or expand, you need permission from people who produce nothing but paperwork. If you play the subsidy game, hire the right lobbyist, repeat the right slogans, and flatter the right ministers, money magically appears. Work gets taxed. Risk gets regulated. Failure gets funded. Competence gets buried under process. Graft gets renamed “partnership.” Waste gets called “investment.” Favours get dressed up as policy. This is how countries decline. Not all at once. Slowly, stupidly, and with press releases. Canada does not need more managers of decline. It needs a government that respects the people who actually produce the wealth in the first place.

This is luxury belief dressed up as statesmanship. Credentials are not outcomes. Intelligence is not wisdom. Integrity is not proven by elite applause. It is proven by whether ordinary Canadians can afford homes, groceries, heat, taxes, and a future. Canada does not need more resume worship from the Laurentian class. It needs results. If these two are so brilliant, let’s judge them by investment, productivity, living standards, public safety, energy development, and national unity. Enough of the coronation language. Canada needs competence, not credential cosplay.

Unfortunately, the CPC can’t win again. After fumbling the last three elections, the decade of Liberal rule has allowed millions of low-skilled, third world migrants into the country, who will ALWAYS vote for socialism and reject conservative principles. Meanwhile, conservative voters are abandoning the country at unprecedented levels. The die is cast.

Canada is not the United States. Correct. Pierre has stated this. Which is exactly why Conservatives should stop apologizing for wanting Canadian solutions to Canadian failures. Pierre Poilievre is not importing American politics by saying Canadians need cheaper food, affordable homes, safer streets, lower taxes, responsible budgets, and an economy that rewards work. That used to be normal Canadian common sense, not some foreign ideology. The old Conservative Party believed in balanced books, personal responsibility, strong communities, law and order, resource development, national unity, and free speech. That is much closer to Poilievre than to the mushy consultant-class politics that got Canada into this mess. The facts are ugly: Ottawa’s own Budget 2025 says federal public debt charges are projected at $55.6 billion in 2025-26 and rising toward 2.1% of GDP by 2029-30. That is money burned on interest instead of defence, health care, housing, infrastructure, or tax relief. The Parliamentary Budget Officer says public debt charges have risen sharply because debt piled up and interest rates rose, and projects those charges could hit $69.9 billion by 2029-30. The Liberals themselves killed the consumer carbon tax in 2025 after years of calling opponents reckless for wanting it gone. Finance Canada confirmed the federal fuel charge ended April 1, 2025. So spare us the lecture about “division.” Canadians are divided because life got harder, government got bigger, housing got insane, crime got worse, and every failure was dressed up as compassion. Pierre’s message is simple: axe all carbon taxes, build homes, fix the budget, stop crime, and put Canada first. That is not American. That is what responsible Canadian conservatism should have been saying loudly for years.

When my husband died in late summer last year, my daughter and I didn't just lose him. We lost more than half our household income overnight. Suddenly, every dollar had a job. Every bill became a math problem. Because my income dropped so dramatically, I became eligible for a GST rebate of about $435. To some people, that might sound like a nice little bonus. To people like me, trying to live on less than $27,000 a year, it's not spending money. It's survival money. Where I live, water, garbage, and recycling cost me $520 every three months. Coincidentally, those bills arrive around the same time as the GST rebate. So the GST cheque doesn't buy treats. It doesn't fund vacations. It doesn't even make life easier. It mostly disappears into a utility bill before I can blink. Today I'm sharing screenshots from my CRA account to demonstrate the federal government's latest affordability miracle with their renamed GST benefit masquerading as the Groceries and Essentials Benefit. My GST rebate went up. By six dollars. Not sixty. Not six hundred. Six. Apparently somewhere in Ottawa, somebody looked at the affordability crisis facing Canadians and thought: "Hmm, needs more half sandwich."🤔 What makes this worse is knowing there are millions of Canadians out there who need help just as badly as I do, but don't qualify for a penny of it. People working two jobs. People trying to raise families. Seniors watching every grocery bill climb higher. People doing everything right and still falling behind. So to @MarkJCarney, I have a simple question. Why are you celebrating the existence of a Grocery and Essentials Benefit instead of asking why Canadians need one in the first place? How much did it cost taxpayers for the photo-op? Do you not see the hypocrisy in it? Because that is the part I can't understand. A government should not be standing in a grocery store congratulating itself for handing back a few dollars of taxpayers' own money. A government should be creating the conditions where people can afford groceries without government assistance. The goal should be fewer Canadians needing benefits, not more! I'm not proud to qualify for this. 👉🏻 I don't want to qualify for a government cheque. 👉🏻 I don't want to qualify for a renamed GST rebate. 👉🏻 I don't want my kid to qualify for a school lunch program because parents can no longer afford lunches. I want an economy where ordinary Canadians can stand on their own feet and keep more of what they earn and be proud about it. The fact that Ottawa felt the need to rename the GST rebate to include the words "Groceries and Essentials" should have set off alarm bells in every cabinet office in the country. Because groceries and essentials are not luxuries. If Canadians need government assistance to afford the basics of life, that is not evidence of success. It's evidence that something has gone very badly wrong. What makes it even harder to stomach is watching a government talk about borrowing billions for new projects and sovereign wealth funds while ordinary Canadians are being told to celebrate an extra six dollars. Six dollars! That's not economic leadership. That's a receipt. Perhaps the question Canadians should be asking is this: If #MarkCarney's resume is as impressive as advertised, why do the results look like this? At some point, Canadians stop listening to credentials and start looking at outcomes. And the outcomes are speaking for themselves!

“Let him have his term” is how countries sleepwalk into damage and then act surprised when the bill shows up. Carney has been advising the Liberal government on the economy since 2020. Politics did not “turn ugly” because citizens noticed the country getting worse. Politics turned ugly because people were told to stop noticing. Housing exploded, food banks grew, debt piled up, productivity sagged, crime got worse, and anyone who objected was called angry, foreign-influenced, or dangerous. That is not democracy. That is damage control with a flag emoji. Carney does not deserve a free pass because he has a polished résumé and speaks in banker fog. He should be judged now, hard, like every other prime minister. The people already lived through ten years of Liberal experiments. We do not need another full term to find out whether fire is hot. “Wait and see” is not wisdom. It is how bad management buys more time. youtu.be/NPV-sAz25kY?si=6dh_…

If Canada did all the things Carney actually wants, we would not be “avoiding a recession.” We would be installing guardrails halfway down the cliff. The Trudeau economy is already a trash heap with one more year of Carney: debt, weak productivity, collapsing affordability, housing chaos, and private-sector exhaustion. But Carney’s answer is not to reverse the damage. It is to make the same central-planning disease sound more intelligent. More state direction. More climate bureaucracy. More managed investment. More elite steering. More “values-based” economics, which usually means ordinary people pay more so credentialed people can feel morally radiant. That is not a recovery plan. That is the arsonist returning as the fire chief. Canada does not need a "smarter" manager of decline. Canada needs to stop pretending decline is sophistication.

Nope. We are not in trouble because of a “bad president.” Canada does not have a president. We have a prime minister, and we have had a decade plus a year of bad federal policy. This is what happens when people import American political scripts and paste them over Canada like a cheap bumper sticker. Canada’s problems are Canadian problems: reckless spending, weak investment, housing failure, overregulation, energy policy self-sabotage, and a federal government that treats productivity like a hate crime. Blaming Trump for Canada’s economic mess is lazy. Ottawa made Canada fragile before the storm arrived.

Wealth creation is not magic. It is not a Liberal government announcement with nicer lighting and a shiny suit. The only way to truly create wealth is to move resources from a lower-valued use to a higher-valued use. That is what farmers, builders, truckers, miners, manufacturers, tradespeople, small businesses, investors, and entrepreneurs do every day. They take land, labour, capital, tools, energy, risk, and skill, then turn them into something people value more. That is the engine. Canada and Manitoba have enormous potential: agriculture, hydro, minerals, energy, manufacturing, rail, ports, trades, and hard-working people. But potential is not wealth. Potential is a tractor sitting in the yard. You still have to turn the key. When governments block projects, raise costs, bury businesses in paperwork, punish energy, slow housing, and call every new spending program an “investment,” they are not creating wealth. They are trapping resources in politics. Voluntary exchange matters because both sides gain. The buyer values the product more than the money. The seller values the money more than the product. Both walk away better off. That is not greed. That is cooperation with a cash register. Canada does not need more economic theatre. Manitoba does not need more speeches about affordability while making production harder. We need to build, trade, invest, produce, compete, and let resources move to where they create the most value. Wealth is not created by good intentions. It is created when someone takes what is underused, misused, or stuck, and turns it into something people actually value.

This is the problem with managerial elites. A person can accumulate credentials, central bank titles, Davos invitations, and a PhD in a hyper-specialized slice of economics, then slowly start believing they understand society itself. But countries are not spreadsheets. A guy drinking coffee at the local Coffeeshop who has run a farm, small business, construction crew, trucking company, or machine shop for 30 years often understands human incentives, costs, risk, energy, family pressure, taxes, and real-world economics better than people managing nations through abstract models. Carney speaks the language of global managerial technocracy: stability, frameworks, transitions, coordination, governance. Regular Canadians speak the language of bills, mortgages, groceries, jobs, kids, fuel, and survival. That gap matters. A country cannot be governed properly when its leadership class increasingly sees itself as international first and local second.

Canada is being run like a boiled frog experiment for NPCs. Turn up taxes slowly. Turn up debt slowly. Turn up housing costs slowly. Turn up censorship, bureaucracy, and media gaslighting slowly. Then tell everyone the water is fine because the approved commentators said so. The trick isn’t just the MSM telling people what to think. It’s telling them what deserves attention, then starving everything else of oxygen. Canada’s media class keeps pointing the flashlight at “vibes,” “tone,” and “perceptions,” while the floorboards rot underneath: productivity, debt, deficits, housing, affordability, investment, and basic competence. Perceptions matter. But reality collects interest. And eventually even the NPCs notice when the pot starts bubbling. At some point, no amount of publicly subsidized narrative management can hide a country getting poorer, slower, and more expensive to live in. A bought media can massage the story. It can’t repeal arithmetic.
