Carney's plan to stand up to Trump has been an embarrassment at best, disastrous at worst. All the while Trump benefits from Canadas suicidal green policies and continued bad decisions.
Now, Kevin O'Leary is saying the quiet part out loud.
While the Liberal government promotes "Canada Strong" rhetoric and encourages Canadians to boycott American products in protest of President Trump, Canada's own policies have pushed hundreds of billions of dollars in investment, and a massive amount of Canadian jobs, south to the United States. Through overregulation, project delays, and political grandstanding, Canada has weakened its own economy and ended up helping the U.S. economy more than hurting it.
Canadians really have become their own worst enemy, second only to their own federal government.
Here's are the facts:
➡️$100B+ CAD in cancelled or deferred energy projects since about 2015.
Some broader industry estimates push that closer to $150–200B CAD when including indirect losses and projects that never advanced.
➡️Tens of billions of dollars per year in capital that might otherwise have stayed in Canada has instead gone to the U.S.
➡️Canada may have lost or diverted $50B–150B+ CAD in potential investment to the U.S. over the past decade, especially in: oil & gas, petrochemicals, manufacturing, mining, EV supply chains.
➡️Canada experienced over $1 trillion in net investment outflows over the past decade, meaning more Canadian capital left the country than foreign investment entered it.
➡️Based on cancelled or delayed projects, many analysts estimate Canada likely lost or failed to create upwards of 500,000 jobs of potential private-sector jobs over the last decade.
The result is a self-inflicted economic disaster: Canada is undermining its own competitiveness while its closest rival, the United States, directly benefits.
We sure showed Trump!

The Liberals love showing Canadians aggregate GDP numbers because it hides the real problem.
Yes, Canada's total economy grew. So did the population.

But when you adjust for population growth and look at GDP per capita, Canada ranks near the bottom of the G7 according to Fraser Institute analysis of IMF data.

That means the average Canadian is falling behind even while politicians celebrate headline growth numbers.

So is Carney open to making Canada weaker? Or was he just lying before?

Canada's Mr "elbows up" Carney, goes "bent knee" to USA's Donald Trump.

Mark Carney wants to have his cake and eat it too, taking credit for the positive effects of high gas prices while blaming the negative effects on others.
You can't have it both ways!

The 'Parents Decide Act' is less about protecting kids than government control over your devices.
Politicians are progressively pushing for harsher age verification legislation. Some lawmakers think certain apps should require an ID to sign in, while others want to limit the reach of AI chatbots under the guise of child protection.

Now, a new bill proposed by Democrat Rep. Josh Gottheimer (N.J.) would require operating system developers — including Apple, Google, and Microsoft — to verify the ages of their users when setting up a new device.

This is the Parents Decide Act
The new bill, unassumingly named the Parents Decide Act, includes several key requirements that all platform holders would have to recognize if the bill passes. These include:

Strict guidelines that state OS platform holders must verify the age of every user when they set up a new device. The bill is clear that it's not enough to have users self-report their date of birth and age; hard-proof verification is required.
Custom content controls that let parents set age-appropriate parameters on their children's devices. This includes the ability to limit access to social media, apps, and even AI platforms.
A pathway to ensure that all apps installed on a device are tuned to adhere to the custom controls in the previous point. No workarounds or exceptions will be allowed.
A trusted multi-platform standard that bans children from accessing what the government labels "harmful" or "explicit" content on any device made by any OEM on any software platform. On the surface, this can include adult content and conversations with AI chatbots, although "harmful" or "hateful" speech has taken on different meanings to the left over the years, usually to describe speech that doesn't align with their views.

To be clear, the Parents Decide Act would require these protections to be built directly into the software of every device — it would become a core feature within iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS. There are questions as to how the government would enforce the bill on open-source Linux, but it will certainly try.

The quiet part of the bill
The piece that's missing from the bill announcement is how platform holders will verify the ages of their users. At this time, a government-issued ID is the only valid method on the table. Essentially, the government is asking Big Tech platform holders to create a system that stores and verifies the digital IDs of their users — a database filled with users' names, dates of birth, heights, weights, and, of course, a recent photo.

Of course, there's a reason Rep. Gottheimer doesn't outright admit that a valid ID is necessary to make the Parents Decide Act work. That would expose the absolute hypocrisy of the left that wants to leave voting rights open to noncitizens but limit the access of digital technology and the internet to everyday Americans unwilling to give their ID to Big Tech or the government.
