Les discours, les sommets et les cérémonies de signature symboliques ne font pas croître l’économie et ne paient ni les hypothèques ni les factures d’épicerie. Pour cela, il faut des résultats. Mark Carney a connu la pire croissance économique en première année de mandat de tous les premiers ministres depuis plus de six décennies : cinq des six derniers trimestres ont été marqués par une baisse des investissements des entreprises, un doublement du déficit de Justin Trudeau, le pire niveau d'endettement des ménages et la deuxième pire inflation alimentaire du G7. Le monde serait prêt à investir dès aujourd’hui dans les ressources, la main-d’œuvre et le territoire du Canada, mais les taxes fédérales, la paperasse et les lois anti-développement sont dans le chemin. 500 projets attendent, souvent depuis de nombreuses années, que le gouvernement de Mark Carney se tasse du chemin et leur accorde un permis. Les libéraux de Mark Carney sont déconnectés de la réalité et les Canadiens n’ont plus d’argent. Notre Plan d’action économique apporte des solutions : - Réduire les délais d’obtention des permis à 6 mois. - Accélérer le traitement des 500 projets en attente de permis fédéraux. - Mettre fin au dédoublement avec les autorisations provinciales. - Supprimer la taxe carbone, la taxe sur les gains en capital liés aux réinvestissements et toutes les taxes sur la construction de logements. Il nous faut des résultats, pas des discours : conservateur.ca/cpc/adoptez-…
Sous ce premier ministre libéral, les investissements directs étrangers ne sont qu’une grande illusion. La vérité, c’est qu’il y a plus d’investissements qui quittent le pays qu’il n’y en a qui y entrent, et une grande partie de ce qui entre n’est que du rachat d’entreprises par des étrangers. Un simple changement de propriétaire, des Canadiens vers des acheteurs étrangers, sans rien construire de nouveau. C’est du n'importe quoi. Nous avons besoin d’un Plan d’action économique qui stimule de vrais investissements pour bâtir de nouveaux actifs qui vont générer de meilleurs chèques de paie pour nos citoyens : conservateur.ca/cpc/adoptez-…

“🇨🇦 CANADA IS AT A CROSSROADS AND A PETITION DEMANDING MARK CARNEY'S RESIGNATION IS GAINING STEAM. A growing petition calling for Prime Minister Mark Carney to step down is sparking a national debate. Is Canada actually heading in the right direction? This was supposed to be the era of the "master negotiator." Carney was sold to Canadians as the expert who would fix our economy and get the best deal with the U.S. Instead, trade is getting WORSE. We are now facing the threat of future bans on Canadian products in the USA, more tariffs, and more uncertainty for Canadian workers and businesses. That is not a deal. That is a failure to negotiate. Supporters of the petition say it is about accountability. That after promises on affordability, housing, jobs, and the economy, Canadians are seeing higher costs, higher taxes, out of control spending, and a weaker position on the world stage. Others say leadership should be judged at the ballot box, not by a petition. But one thing is clear. This is a conversation we cannot afford to ignore. Cost of living, housing, taxes, jobs, immigration, government spending, and now our trade future with our biggest partner are all on the line. So we want to hear from YOU: 👇 DO YOU SUPPORT THE PETITION FOR MARK CARNEY TO RESIGN? 🟢 YES He should resign. Canada needs new leadership. 🔴 NO He should stay and be given more time. 🟡 UNDECIDED I need more facts. 💬 Comment below and tell us WHY. If the master negotiator cannot protect Canadian trade from U.S. bans, who will stand up for Canada?” VOTE • COMMENT • SHARE. Let's show what Canadians really think. #Canada #CanadianPolitics #MarkCarney #TradeWar #USTariffs #CanadaUS #CanadaNews #CostOfLiving #CanadaFirst

Until he confirms that 100% of his investments are in Canada, that his kids are living in Canada, that he’s taking a pay cut as a gesture for those who are going to lose their jobs, He can take his elbows and shove them up his hypocritical ass. We should not be making any sacrifices he isn’t willing to make himself.

Carney says we are “at war” with the US. Without Parliamentary debate. Over a deal he will not show us. That impacts millions of jobs. He has LIED to us the past. And now he wants us to “trust him?” No. We can no longer take you at your word. Share the deal.

Let me be clear. My popularity has been slipping, as the years go by and people realize I'm a weak and useless Prime Minister. So there's only one way for me to win back support. Make Canadians fear America, by declaring war on them!

While Canadians can’t afford to eat, heat, and house themselves, the Carney Liberals load up on contracts for high-priced consultants to do the work that our massive bureaucracy is supposed to do. We must cut the cost of government to cut the cost of living.
Feds @ESDC_GC last year spent $998.5 million on consultants even as PM @MarkJCarney promised to cut spending on consultants by 20 percent. The department increased expenditures 10 percent above average. blacklocks.ca/spent-999m-on-… #cdnpoli

It was a pleasure to speak with Crown Prince @PahlaviReza about the mission for a free and democratic Iran, returned to the Iranian people and free from the terror of the regime in Tehran. I shared with him the tremendous support I saw from Canada’s Persian community in Vancouver and their hope for freedom and democratic change in Iran. We discussed the importance of sustained international pressure on the Islamic Republic, maintaining internet access for Iranians, using frozen Iranian regime assets rather than Western taxpayer dollars to support the Iranian people, and ensuring that Iranians themselves determine the future of their country through free elections and a democratic constitutional process. Conservatives support comprehensive sanctions and the seizure of regime assets, expelling the IRGC from Canada, protecting Persian and Jewish communities here at home from threats and intimidation, and maintaining the Conservative policy of no formal diplomatic relations with the Islamic Republic. I was also pleased to invite the Crown Prince to visit Canada and look forward to continuing our discussions about how Canada can support the Iranian people in reclaiming their country and securing a free and democratic future.

Once again, the Liberal government is not doing what it claims to be doing. 155,800 new permanent residents in just six months. 860 people a day. Plus hundreds of thousands more temporary arrivals still planned. This volume is unsustainable. We already have serious pressure on housing, hospitals, etc ...and they’re just making it worse.

In what world does a homeowner, sending a few warning shots to scare away four intruders, get charged? He doesn't know if they have weapons with an intent to execute him. I don't think Wab Kinew would be saying the same thing if it was four intruders on his property.
RCMP Charge Man for Defending Property from Repeat Offenders 4 Thieves in stolen vehicles attempted to rob a rural property in south-central Manitoba but were stopped by the 66-year-old property owner, armed with a firearm. RCMP charged the property owner @WabKinew praised RCMP

Copied/Pasted Dear Muslims My family and I have decided to move from Canada to a muslim country. Not sure which Country we will pick yet, we are still comparing which one offers the best benefits package. All my neighbours want to come too. And my neighbours' neighbours. And all their friends. And their friends' friends. Millions of us will show up with suitcases and a sense of entitlement. As a large Christian community, we'll need a few small changes: Please start building churches immediately. Real churches, with nice loud bells, the kind that can be heard from the town centre. We'll also need for everyone to celebrate Christmas, and to close certain streets once a year for our processions. We may want to gather to pray to our Almighty God on your streets, in your parks, or on the lawns of your mosques. We'll be an oppressed minority, so you'll have to be understanding and adapt to our way of life. Every supermarket must stock real pork, ham, chorizo, and bacon. And we're bringing all our dogs, so you'll need dog parks, and you'll have to smile tolerate them we walk them in front of your mosques. We want our women to be able to safely go out alone and wear shorts and tank tops. And when the weather's nice, we men like to go shirtless. We also want to drink alcohol, dance, and place an occasional bet at the horse races. While we're at it, your religious holidays are a bit too much; they could offend the Christian community, so we'd appreciate it if you'd discreetly eliminate them. Thanks. In schools and workplaces, our children and employees must be able to wear large crucifixes, say prayers, eat ham sandwiches in the cafeteria, and learn Christian principles without anyone getting criticized. We also demand chapels or Christian prayer rooms in every building, plus translators, because we have no intention of learning Arabic. If any of this is rejected, please send a list of police station addresses so we can report you for discrimination, Christianophobia, racism, and anything we don't like. One more thing: if my kids protest or burn your flag for any reason, please be understanding. I'll be sure to give them a very serious scolding. Finally, we all want generous benefits, free housing, phones, free food, and pocket money while we "integrate" over the next three generations. Working is optional, obviously. Be patient with us, you'll get used to it. We thank you in advance for your tolerance and compassion. After all, diversity is our strength! Sincerely, A true Canadian 👍
