When Mark Carney and the Liberals tell Canadians immigration is back under control, they’re lying.
🇨🇦 IRCC confirmed they cannot locate 2 million expired visa holders. CBSA says they don’t have resources to find them. Canada’s immigration minister called it under control. 2 million people. Untracked. In a country of 40 million. That’s not a resource problem. That’s a system that was never designed to enforce its own rules.👇

Diesel costs Canadians 32 cents more per litre than Americans, and 30 cents more than the global average. Everyone else pays the market price. Canadians pay the Liberal surcharge. Conservatives forced the Liberals to freeze the consumer carbon tax, but GST, the industrial carbon tax, and the Clean Fuel Standard still pile roughly 30 cents a litre in Liberal fluff. Same oil. Same trucks. Just 11 years of Liberal taxes piled on top.

All BC parties need to explain how they’d address addiction + public safety
One of the biggest issues in BC is the addiction & homeless crisis in BC yet @bcndp do not appear to be mentioning either in their snap election campaign 🤷🏻‍♀️🤔

In 1965 Canada had 1023 tonnes of gold. By 2016 Canada ZERO gold reserves.
China and Russia have increased their output of gold. They are also increasing their holdings of gold as a strategic reserve of wealth. It didn't have to be this way, but the US oligarchs turned the dollar into a weapon; in so doing castrated the dollar.

"It’s time to recognize that @MeghanEMurphy was completely correct in 2017 when she testified to the senate that Bill C-16, which added ‘gender identity’ to the Canadian Human Rights Act, would legally force women to be inclusive of men without regard for our own safeguarding."
Great to hear @KellyDeRidderMP standing up for women and girls in committee. This is the just the start of the types of conversations we need to be having to ensure that the equal dignity of women and girls is protected, not subverted to the tyranny of a minority. It’s time to recognize that @MeghanEMurphy was completely correct in 2017 when she testified to the senate that Bill C-16, which added ‘gender identity’ to the Canadian Human Rights Act, would legally force women to be inclusive of men without regard for our own safeguarding.

Could? Have. No property has been sold in the Cowichan claim area, not a single one. Not being able to sell it means you do not own it: the right is already gone.
Aboriginal title claims could trump property rights of homeowners, farmers and businesses. fraserinstitute.org/commenta…

The Carney Liberals never fixed our broken immigration system—and now they want to break it even more. Canadians deserve real solutions, not more failed policies of mass immigration. Join Canadians for Responsible Immigration: nationalcitizens.ca/responsi…

A massive college fraud scandal has been uncovered in released court documents by the Canadian Press. Students at Academy of Learning Career College received over $219 million in OSAP grants. Students were found completing entire courses in 15 minutes. Another student was found to finish a final exam in 6 minutes. One student’s login credentials were used to login with 200 different IP addresses. When contacted by Ministry officials, multiple students were unable to name the program they were studying, the college they were enrolled in, or even to communicate in English.

Shout out to the near half of Canadians who want to join the EU. PS I understand that Canadians/commentariat don’t do credit markets but you might want to check out the explosion in French government borrowing rates before you sign on.

China is bidding for every tanker that floats as Iran withholds exports. China increased refinery oil import quotas. China increased SPR target reserves. China is buying up the marginal barrels at premium.
Everyone is bidding against each other for the physical oil that is still available. The cost of shipping 2 million barrels from West Africa to China is going vertical. Yesterday alone, it jumped 17.6% to $27.22 per barrel.

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: What Ontario inspectors found at 3 “career college” locations: $219 million in OSAP, for 14,800 "students" Every public college in Ontario combined got $385 million. One student finished an entire course in a day, final exam in 6 minutes. One login was used from 211 different IP addresses. Interviewed students couldn't name their school, program, or speak English. Three storefronts pulled over half of what every public college got. Who signed off on this? Who is getting fired? Ontario taxpayers just got scammed.

In this article, Geoffrey S. Moyse, KC, a retired senior B.C. lawyer who advised six successive provincial governments on Aboriginal law opines that B.C.’s implementation of UNDRIP and DRIPA is moving beyond consultation toward Indigenous consent, co-governance and financial participation over vast areas of the province—often through agreements negotiated behind closed doors. He raises some important questions about where Aboriginal title ends and claimed “traditional territory” begins, and what legal authority the province is actually transferring.
Geoffrey Moyse: What lurks behind the ‘rent-seeking’ reconciliation industry? "It is past time that the B.C. public looks into the ideological agenda being foisted upon them by their government." withoutdiminishment.com/p/ge…

At my comedy show in NJ, I did a joke about males being housed in women’s prisons. Afterward, a group of five women told me they had no idea that biological males, including men convicted of sexual and violent offences against women, can be housed in women’s prisons while still intact. And the women confined with them do not get a vote. They cannot opt out. They cannot leave. That is not rehabilitation. It is DoorDash for predatory men. One is too many.

DEI CAF leadership in a nutshell "When the CAF finally released its Evaluation of Defence Team Culture in June 2026, it presented a carefully crafted narrative blaming “systemic white supremacy and extremist behaviour” for the failure of upper management’s politically motivated DEI agenda."
💥NEW REPORT: CAF's cultural report omits key facts to protect DEI failures—then brands the resulting backlash white supremacist extremism. 🧵Full story in the thread:

The "trans child" is a fabrication constructed by sexologists sympathetic to pedophilia (John Money, Vern Bullough, Thore Langfeldt). "Puberty blockers" are the same drugs used to chemically castrate pedophiles. When given to minors it stunts their genital development.
New York City (Oct. 1) — Leftists organized a picket against NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital to demand that it restore its child medical transitioning program after the hospital suspended it for new patients due to pressure from the Trump administration. Democrats promise to restore funding for child transitions wherever they have power.

Merz argues that Germans must work more and become more productive if Germany is to compete with China. * An alternative perspective is that the German government should not have shut down power plants, cut its energy-intensive industries off from their main source of affordable energy, looked the other way when Nord Stream was destroyed, imposed sanctions on so many countries, contributed to instability in the Middle East by backing genocide and the war against Iran, built an economic model so reliant on mass immigration, subordinated itself excessively to the US, stolen sovereign assets, financed yet another war against Russia etc. Or BlackRock Merz is correct: Germans simply need to work harder and accept the transition from an industrial welfare state toward a model of military Keynesianism.

France is dealing with a very different social reality, and pretending that every country can absorb unlimited numbers of people without consequences is simply dishonest.

🚨 GREECE TO EU: “THE INVASION OF EUROPE IS OVER” 🚨 🔴 Greece just slammed the door shut on illegal migration. 🗣️ “Don’t come here. We’ll put you in jail or send you home.” 🔒 New laws mean NO asylum loopholes. NO more abuse of the system. NO open borders. 🔥 illegals from North Africa? ➡️ Straight to detention. ➡️ No handouts. No waiting game. ➡️ Fast-tracked deportation. 📢 WHAT THIS MEANS: ⚠️ Greece is DEFYING the EU’s open-borders agenda. ⚠️ Sovereign nations are starting to rise and say NO to globalist invasion plans. ⚠️ The so-called “refugee crisis” was never organic — it was engineered. 💥 Greece just proved: You CAN secure your borders. 💥 You CAN resist Brussels. 💥 You CAN protect your people. 🚨 THIS IS THE NEW FRONTLINE IN THE FIGHT FOR EUROPE. 🚨 🛡️ Time for other nations — including the UK — to follow suit.
