Money is not very useful when you’re dead
Israel's total GDP is $540 billion. Iran's heavily sanctioned rump economy is $437 billion An unsanctioned and reconstructed Iran will be many times more economically & strategically important to the world than Israel This is why Israel finds a deal intolerable
“Ron the Rat” is a loser
This of course surprises nobody. Always trying to out clever himself.

Not sure if it’s an improvement for Robertson- I guess as not.

how exciting. Another chance for the greens to take control.
The biggest change within the Premier's office that @RobShaw_BC is talking about? A new @bcndp Premier...wheels are in motion folks

Conservative Kim Campbell started the gun registry and the liberals turned that clunker into a Dumpster fire.
According to documents tabled in Parliament (thanks @AndrewLawton), nearly 30% of the top 20 most commonly claimed firearms under the gun grab scheme are .22 calibre plinkers. Why are the Liberals ignoring the safety of the public in order to protect the safety of gophers?

Another Trudeau legacy. He really damaged canada.
Replying to @MarkJCarney
And yes they came with good intentions. They embraced Canada. Through hard work they built a life, got jobs, made jobs, bought a home, lived to see their children prosper. No government handouts. Just hard work. But. Not today. You’ve allowed ppl to come here with nefarious intentions, looking for hand outs, come here with hate. Actual Canadians are suffering, the country is imploding, food insecurity is a thing, crime escalates daily, homelessness abounds. YOU OWN THAT. So please. Leave the past alone because that was then and this is now.

If a 100 Cubans had a gun the govt repression would soon be over.
Cuban repression remains strictly enforced even as the nation’s economy grinds to a standstill, a Commons subcommittee on international human rights is told. blacklocks.ca/tell-mps-of-cu… @SenBoehm @KronisTamara @PrisonersDFNdrs @EmbacubaCanada

Obstinate and stupid are a bad combination for voters
Update: they totally ignored the warnings and moved forward anyway, just like they always do. They're the most obstinate council in the CRD. It really is remarkable. Oh well. Their choice. #yyj

Hopefully BC customers can get Cdn beef for the same price as Mexicans. Please ask them Sidhu
Today, I met with the Canadian Cattle Association to discuss opening new markets, keeping Canadian beef competitive and standing up for our farmers and ranchers. Roughly half of the beef produced in Canada is exported, adding about $1,400 in value per animal for producers. With access to China recently restored for 20 Canadian meat establishments, we’re creating new opportunities for high-quality Canadian beef. Next week, the Canadian Cattle Association will join me in Japan as part of our largest ever Team Canada trade mission to the Indo-Pacific region. I look forward to having representatives of Canada’s beef industry with me as we work to open new markets and create more opportunities for Canadian producers.

MP Max Wilkinson: X is a problem due to the ability for citizens to "get their voice against immigration heard" This is why the UK is cracking down

Again, you may not like the UFC thing at the White House, but the moment you hung a giant pride flag from the columns and had half-naked “trans” activists exposing themselves on the lawn, you lost all right to complain about desecration.

You’re gonna get the UK finger-again!
Everybody that has a passport from a country within the European Union has the right to freely move around the countries we all love, Italy, Spain, France, Greece, etc. There’s no border control, you can even move to another country without much effort, and this has been beautiful. Until now. Recently Spain decided that they would give legal residence to 500.000 illegal migrants living in the country. Now these people are going to have the full rights of a European residence, including freedom of movement. Today we found out this number was a lie. There have already been 900.000 applications and it is expected to become 5 million within a few years. Thanks to Spain in the next years all the countries in the European union will have a mass migration that they never consented to. At this point, what does it even matter if Italy votes for patriotic government whose intent is to control their borders, when Spain will just send an infinite number of migrants to the continent? What is the end game for the European Union?

Excellent contract. Well done.
Canada is the first non-European nation to join SAFE — the EU’s joint defence readiness initiative — and we’re already seeing results. Because we joined, Montréal-based Marconi Technologies will build made-in-Canada tactical radios for the Polish Cyber Command. This contract is worth more than $10 million and will benefit nearly 100 Canadian suppliers, their workers, and their families.

Who are the Cuban “friends” we are welcoming? Perhaps govt representatives that collect $Bs in revenue that’s moved to safe foreign havens. None invested in the country or the people that are literally without enough daily food to feed themselves.
Cubans need friends. Friends of democracy.

I blocked Warren a long time ago. He is a self appointed loser
Dear @kinsellawarren You’re an X-@liberal_party aide who takes money to give political advice. You write books. Good on ya. But you don’t get to call yourself a #journalist and trash talk somebody who’s spent 43 years fighting to keep the industry alive. Get off my lawn.

I wonder if this high level Cuban delegation are the ones that move all of the govt revenues out bof the county so none stays in Cuba to benefit the people?
Canada is soon welcoming “high level delegation” from Cuba, says chair of @SenateCA foreign affairs committee. “Cuba needs friends,” said @SenBoehm who singled out United States for criticism. blacklocks.ca/cuba-needs-fri… @usembassycanada @StateDept @GAC_Corporate @EmbacubaCanada #cdnpoli

Turns out there are a lot of little minded Cdns
Elbows Up Canadian fans booed the US flag at the FIFA World Cup 2026 opening ceremony. Tonight at UFC Freedom 250, American fans proudly sang the Canadian national anthem for Aiemann Zahabi. This is how you respect a flag. This is real class and sportsmanship. Those classless Canadians that followed Justin Trudeau’s direction to boo the US National Anthem could learn a lot from Americans. 🇨🇦🇺🇸👏 #FIFAWorldCup #WorldCup2026 #UFCFreedom250 #UFC #Sportsmanship #RespectTheFlag #CanadaUSA

Iona was feisty and an all round classy person. I got to know her when she was the chair of the Fraser River basin board and I was a director

Canada will not tolerate the presence of goods produced through forced labour in our markets. Today our government tabled legislation that strengthens our commitment to human rights and fair, transparent trade by giving us stronger tools to stop these goods at the border and protect the integrity of our supply chains. It also supports vulnerable workers and aligns Canada with global efforts to eliminate forced labour from international trade.

Winna winna another chicken dinner courtesy of the smartest PM since Trudeau
🚨Mark Carney is celebrating 10% trade growth with France. 🇫🇷 Canada-France trade: ~$12B annually 10% increase: ~$1.2B Canada-USA trade: $1.1 TRILLION annually🇺🇸 CUSMA at risk: 2 million jobs exposed He’s celebrating a $1.2B gain while risking a $1.1 trillion relationship. That’s not diversification. That’s a distraction. 🇨🇦📉 #CdnPoli #CUSMA #Carney x.com/sarobertson_/status/20…
