Our “moral leadership” illegally used the Emergencies Act on citizens and has been continually appealing that ruling since 2024.

I’d like to know how many countries there are that Mark Carney worries will invade Canada. Is it more than 1? Is it 5? Or 50? What are his plans if Angola attacked us tomorrow? Should I stockpile dried beans?

“Mr. Carney have you considered that a hamster could steal your car?” *Long pause* “There is an extreme tail risk. It would be irresponsible to not prepare for that scenario.”

Mark Carney is so fiscally illiterate he can’t even balance his own make believe budget he split into two parts.

Not good. There’s likely going to be rate hikes on October 28th and December 9th. Who wants elbows for Christmas?

Remember one month ago when they were celebrating 3.3% annualized GDP growth? They were WAY off. And the unemployment rate is closer to 7.6% than 6.7%. How convenient those original estimates were before 3 byelections.
‼️ BREAKING: Canada's economic "recovery" just got exposed by StatCan's revisions: The "shrinking population" excuse for weak growth? It never happened. Population was growing the whole time. Per capita GDP growth was revised DOWN: 0.7%, not the 1.7% they claimed The Q2 growth that did show up came mostly from oil exports, not policy. Real unemployment is likely closer to 7.6%, not the 6.7% reported. The economy was NOT recovering. The numbers were just hiding how bad it is.

From a 3 seat majority to polling from behind. David Eby is totally going to screw this up and it’s absolutely delightful.

I am by no means a foreign policy expert. But I can at least guess that a hostile adversary with plans to invade us wouldn’t also be selling us weapons. But Mark Carney continually goes to the “Oh no, America!” well because it’s been good for him politically.

It’s only been 18 months. Now apparently they need to pass MORE legislation to start building at speeds never before seen.

The USA are arming Canada with the means to defend ourselves from an invasion from the USA. This makes sense to Liberal voters.

Has anyone in the Canadian media reached out to the PMO and confirmed whether or not Mark Carney actually believes the USA will be engaging in military action towards Canada? Seems like someone should be chasing that story, no?

When Mark Carney was asked by the New York Times if he considered the U.S. military would attack Canada he searched his big brain for the perfect financial jargon that the Canadian media would misconstrue. “Extreme tail risk.” It worked.

When Mark Carney was asked if he considered there was a chance the US would invade or attack Canada he searched his brain for the right financial jargon that the Canadian media would surely misconstrue. “Extreme tail risk” was perfect.
Replying to @nytimes
* We asked PM Carney if he'd ever considered there was a chance of US military action against Canada. After a long pause, told us he'd considered this an "extreme tail risk." "That's risk management. That's not a base case, but it would be irresponsible not to," he said.

This guy is going to mention Trump so many times over the next 29 days that the spell will be broken. I’ll give it a week before the PMO sends him a cease and desist letter.
This morning Donald Trump went after immigrants in Canada. He says they're destroying the country. Here's what immigrants are doing in B.C.: more than 800 doctors, nurses and health workers from the U.S. have moved here to care for British Columbians in our public system. Today I announced we're tripling that campaign and taking it into his own backyard. Trump can attack us every single day. We'll keep welcoming the people who help us build B.C. strong.

Mark Carney claims that his government saves Canadians $20,000 per year. Except I don’t get a Groceries and Essentials benefit cheque and we don’t qualify for qualify for child care, dental care, other national school food program because we have private insurance and don’t have kids. We get absolutely nothing in return for the exorbitant taxes we pay. How is that making life more affordable?

My hope is David Eby’s government will at the very least be reduced to a minority and that this BC election will break the spell that the word Trump has over Canadians. Mark Carney is going to be watching very closely because I have no doubt he is going to call an early election before Trump completes his term.
