IRCC Interim Housing Assistance: about $1.9 billion to provinces and municipalities since 2017. Budget 2024 added $1.1 billion through 2027. Spring update 2026 put another $564 million on the table through 2030. Hotels alone: roughly $1.2 billion, about 61,000 claimants, closed 1 October 2025. The grant did not close. 2025–26 rules still let federal money cover up to 95 percent of eligible costs. Minister Diab told committee the short-term phase is over and the money is now for longer-term housing. Everyone Counts 2025: 65,000 people enumerated homeless on one night across 75 communities, up 59 percent from 2020–2022. Asylum claims are down. The housing line is not. Process the claim. Remove the failed claim. Stop treating the bed as a standing lease. Publish the inventory and the removal count beside the $1.9 billion. Kitchen table first. #cdnpoli

Dropped on the night of a Quebec election, Ottawa wants to turn defence buying into a Crown corporation so a Carney friend can spend faster with less Treasury Board and ministerial oversight That is not reform. It is less scrutiny on the biggest contracts in government.Crowns do not fix delay. Canada Post loses billions. The CBC burns public money for a shrinking audience. CPPIB’s costs exploded while missing a simple index. Arm’s-length status means higher pay, softer budgets, and weaker transparency—not speed The usual procurement failures stay: shifting requirements, regional politics, and governments that restart fighter and ship programs for decades. You just remove the checkpoints and hand discretion to a banker with past defence-industry ties and a salary near $700k Political interference does not vanish. Routine accountability does

Evening friends Its going to get worse over the next 2 weeks. Attacks against Alberta & misinformation are ramping up. To be expected. Its frustrating. For me too. But all this bullshit is because they have nothing. No solutions to any problems. No good reasons for Alberta to stay. Nothing. Just fear, fear, fear. All this fear is for the weak & easily manipulated people. You Patriots are not weak. You are the brave ones. My best advice, if you care, is to remain calm & reasonable just as you have all year long. Continue to show the difference between us & them. And if really frustrated, as I get too at times, go outside & talk to folks. Or call people & talk about Independence. Not only will you remove yourself from the frustration, you will feel good & accomplish good things. Thats far more productive than arguing online with idiots trying to get you angry. It will get worse my friends. And I know you will handle it like the courageous people you are. You don't judge the character of a person when things are easy. The true test of character is when things are difficult. We are in those times now. Hold fast. Free Alberta. For everyone we love. #AlbertaIndependence #AlbertaStrong

Canada’s economic problems did not begin with Donald Trump, and Ottawa cannot keep using external events as an excuse for problems we created ourselves. Business investment per worker has gone backwards. Productivity has been weak for years. Federal deficits are still enormous. Yet Ottawa keeps reaching for more spending, more regulation and more government-directed “investment” while wondering why private capital looks elsewhere. Trade diversification is fine, but pretending a declining Europe can replace the United States as our economic anchor is fantasy. Geography matters. Markets matter. Incentives matter. Canada is sitting beside the richest market on Earth, with enormous supplies of energy, minerals, farmland and other resources. We should be one of the easiest countries in the world to invest in. Instead, we have made major projects slower, riskier and more expensive while government debt keeps climbing. Eventually you have to stop judging governments by their intentions and start judging them by the results. And the results are not good.

Anyone still calling the Canadian economy a success is reading the press release, not the balance sheet. Canadians owe about $1.76 to $1.80 in credit-market debt for every dollar of disposable income (StatsCan, 2026). That is among the highest ratios in the G7. Nearly 15 cents of every dollar earned already goes to debt payments before rent or groceries. Homeownership for 30-to-34-year-olds fell from about 60% to 52% between 2011 and 2021. A 2026 survey across 22 countries found 56% of Canadian non-owners have given up on buying — the highest share measured. Population jumped 3.2% in 2023, the fastest since 1957, and 1.8% in 2024. International migration drove 97% of that growth (StatsCan). Housing starts stayed near 1970s levels while population growth ran about three times higher (Fraser Institute). CMHC still puts the annual shortfall at roughly 187,000 to 238,000 homes versus what is needed to restore pre-pandemic affordability. Homeless counts have surged; Ontario’s known homeless population rose about 23% in four years. The customer who clears the bills is still the United States — about 70% of goods exports. The entire European Union takes roughly 5–6%. Business investment per worker fell about 16% in real terms from 2014 to 2024 while it rose more than 26% in the US. Canada now puts roughly 55 cents of new capital behind each worker for every dollar the Americans do. That is not a messaging problem. It is debt, housing supply, and capital formation. The numbers are public. The facade is not.

🎙️ Our second Let Alberta Decide radio ad is now on the air across Alberta. But not everyone listens to radio anymore — so we’re sharing it here too. Take 30 seconds. Listen for yourself. And share it so other Albertans can hear the message directly. 🎧👇

This is well worth reading. Colin MacLeod carefully dismantles The Globe and Mail’s attempt to turn a collection of unrelated people, conversations and allegations into one sinister narrative about Alberta independence. Investigate legitimate concerns. Absolutely. But journalism should distinguish facts from insinuation, individuals from movements, and conversations from agreements. Albertans deserve that standard—especially when we are making an important democratic decision on October 19.

Rent-a-riot. Far left groups are involved in organizing these 'riots'. French intelligence agencies told a government crisis meeting on 1 October that the movement was “an operation organized by LFI and its proxies on the far left.”

Alberta’s problem is structural. Ottawa can change its tone, but Ontario and Quebec still hold the electoral power to shape federal policy. A friendly Prime Minister is not a constitutional safeguard. Vote Option 2—and give Alberta leverage to secure lasting change.

Imagine a leader so blatantly clueless that he publicly states (brags?) that 12 MILLION people (more than 1/4 of the population) will be getting money from the rest of the tax payers to pay for their food. How is this not entirely embarrassing for ANY government that they've created a country where 25% of their population needs money for the BASICS of life? And for those of you who are alert: its not actually 12 million individuals, that would include individuals supporting families. So yes, its MORE than 25% Elbows up!

Canadians are being sold a deceptive picture of the federal government’s finances. That’s what my @financialpost article is about this week. Prime Minister @markjcarney recently boasted that his government is “on track to balance the operating budget next year, one year ahead of schedule.” Sounds impressive. Except there’s a rather large problem: the operating budget is a construct of the government’s own making, based on an old accounting trick - that I’ve written about for the last 18 months since the government adopted this horrible practice - that allows it to decide which spending counts and which spending gets moved into another column. Imagine a couple whose paycheques don’t cover their spending, so they top up the difference every month using their home equity line of credit. One of them has an idea: split the household budget in two. Put the mortgage payments and new roof into an “investment” column. And why not the groceries? After all, well-fed kids grow into productive adults. Move enough expenses into the investment column and - voilà!!The everyday household budget balances!! Problem solved!! Except the line of credit keeps growing and the bank still wants its interest. That’s essentially what the Carney government is asking Canadians to accept with its operating/capital budget framework. And the Parliamentary Budget Officer has, once again, demonstrated how easy it is to pull off this trick. It starts with defining “capital” and making it so broad that it is easy to shift spending out of the operating budget without changing actual government spending or borrowing. The PBO previously estimated that the federal government’s measure of capital investment in the 2025 budget was overstated by roughly $94 billion compared with international practice. That’s not fiscal discipline. It’s deceptive accounting presentation. And here’s why it matters: public debt charges are expected to be $58.7 billion this fiscal year - more than Ottawa expects to collect from the GST. That’s roughly $1,400 for every Canadian, or $5,600 for a family of four. By 2030-31, those interest costs are projected to reach $80.9 billion. Carney can call expenditures “capital.” He can celebrate balancing the “operating budget.” But none of that changes the amount Ottawa actually borrows or the interest Canadians have to pay. Debt is debt is debt. When the fall budget arrives, ignore the deceptive accounting labels and ask the question that actually matters: Is the government genuinely restraining spending and borrowing, or is it simply moving enough expenditures into another column to claim success? A financially literate household wouldn’t pretend its debt disappeared because it changed the labels in its spreadsheet. Canadians shouldn’t accept that practice from their government either. financialpost.com/personal-f…

Garnett, when you’re at the door warning voters about businesses leaving Quebec in the 1970s, please also explain the full historical context for why they left. Albertans deserve the complete story—not a selective version designed to frighten them about voting for change and better future for our kids.

Skip the theory. Put the file on the page. September 16. Ursula von der Leyen offered Canada associate-member status. The treaties do not contain it. Article 49 reserves membership for European states. EU diplomats told Reuters the next day they had not been asked. Nobody could define the label. September 17. Strasbourg. Mark Carney welcomed it. He said the two sides would define it together. He promised a debate and a vote in Parliament. He said Canada is not applying for full membership. The summit to write the terms is Montreal, end of this month. October 4. A video. Countries want to tighten their ties with Canada. No text in the caption. That is the focus. Not a documentary. A status that does not exist, accepted in a foreign parliament, with the working summit on the calendar and the Canadian text unpublished. The House has not debated it. Publish the associate terms before Montreal. Publish what Canada gives on defence, energy, critical minerals, and rules. A clue is not a document. The document is the post. Mark Carney. Ursula von der Leyen. Name them. Kitchen table first.

Clues as to why Carney is so EU-focused. Call me a conspiracy theorist. Go ahead. Refute it.

I spent four years reviewing historical residential school documents from BC and Alberta. What I saw was regular correspondence between school administrators and local band chiefs concerning child welfare (mostly concerning protection from their own parents) indigenous curriculum, enrolment (mostly requests to increase enrolment from the band), truancy, and other topics of mutual interest and cooperation. Also lots of thank you letters from the band to departing school teachers and principals for their contributions to the community.

The truth absolutely devastates the reconciliation industry. Watch Max drop bomb after bomb after bomb.

Carney told the NY Times that Canada has current targets of 380,000 permanent residents per year through 2028, and plans a future "controlled increase" in population.

🚨FRIENDLY REMINDER🚨 The Canadian Government is funnelling taxpayer funds to municipalities to purchase real estate—hotels, apartments, housing complexes—to house migrants while Canadians face homelessness. This isn't immigration; it's state-sponsored replacement.

Too many people in Eastern and Central Canada don't understand the very real grievances that Alberta has. They don't get addressed. They are dismissed. This is part of why we are headed towards a referendum on exploring separation. Try listening to them.
