Canadians Don’t Just Feel Worse Off—They Actually Are

Canadians are worried about the future.
A clear majority say today's decisions will impact generations to come.

A new report to Parliament says young Canadians are facing such severe financial pressure that more than one‑quarter are skipping meals to get by, a sign of what Food Banks Canada calls a growing crisis in youth economic security.

The organization told the Commons human resources committee that 28% of young adults reported going without a meal because they lacked money, while 20% relied on free food from community groups — nearly double the rate seen in the general population.

And this is food for thought.

Canadians need the green light for a new Pipeline to the Pacific, FAST.

This would generate $30 BILLION every year for Canada's economy.

Allowing Canadian energy to reach new global customers at a time when the U.S. can easily replace our oil with Venezuelan oil is essential for our country's economic survival.

But the Carney Liberals will never let that happen.

Restaurants Canada estimates show 41 per cent of food service businesses are operating at a loss or just breaking even and 41 per cent of Canadians say they reduced restaurant visits last year because of higher costs.

Canadians are more frugal with how much they spend on eating out, the report said, adding that the softer demand is hitting one of the industry's biggest money makers — alcohol.

While bigger businesses and chain restaurants might be able to weather the storm, smaller independently-owned restaurants might be the hardest hit, the report said.

Big Oil Ditches Carney's Canada for Socialist Venezuela

Chevron just proved what conservatives have been saying for years: Liberal policies are killing Canada's energy sector while even chaotic Venezuela looks like a better bet for serious investment.

Back in late 2024, Chevron sold off its entire stake in Alberta's Athabasca oil sands and Duvernay shale assets to Canadian Natural Resources for $6.5 billion.

Those are world-class, responsibly developed heavy oil deposits in a stable democracy with tough environmental rules and carbon taxes that punish producers.
Fast forward to April 2026: Chevron inks an asset swap with Venezuela's state oil company PDVSA. They boost their stake in a major Orinoco Belt joint venture to 49 percent and grab development rights to more heavy oil fields. This is the same Venezuela wrecked by two decades of socialist dictatorship, hyperinflation, sanctions, corruption, and economic meltdown.

The message from the market could not be clearer. Big Oil stuck it out in Venezuela through the worst chaos imaginable. But faced with endless red tape, skyrocketing taxes, activist vetoes, and a Prime Minister who talks green while Alberta bleeds jobs, they walked away from Canada anyway.

Mark Carney and the Liberals love to lecture about "low-risk, low-carbon" Canadian oil. Yet capital is voting with its feet: toward a recovering petro-state over a country strangled by its own bureaucracy. Investors want permits in a month and real returns, not endless consultations, wealth-sucking regulations, and virtue-signaling that drives up costs and kills projects.

This is what happens when government treats energy producers like enemies instead of the backbone of the economy. Canada has the resources, the technology, and the rule of law. What it lacks under the current regime is the political will to let the industry thrive.

Time to scrap the anti-oil agenda, cut the red tape, and get pipelines built before more capital flees north for good. Venezuela shouldn't be outcompeting us in our own backyard.
