DEAR LORD!!! You guys really need to overthrow your government by violent force. Maybe start by stealing all the weapons from the local PD!

[Herman]

That's over 10% of the federal budget, by the way.

"MUSLIM VALUES ARE CANADIAN VALUES."

Steven Guilbeault is probably the LEAST qualified person in all of Canada to build a national park, let alone ten of them.

This is what your tax dollars are paying for.

Nearly half of Canadians want feds to reduce spending

https://truenorthwire.com/2025/06/nearly-half-of-canadians-want-feds-to-reduce-spending/
Almost half of all Canadians believe that the federal government needs to reduce spending, according to a new poll released by a taxpayer advocacy group.

A new Leger poll commissioned and released by the Canadian Taxpayer Federation on Monday has found that 45 per cent of Canadians think the government needs to spend less.

The poll informed the online panel of 1,519 adult Canadian respondents that the federal government has increased its spending by 26 per cent over the last five years before asking Canadians what should happen to the budget over the next four years.

A probability sample of the same size yields a margin of error no greater than 2.5 per cent, 19 times out of 20.

Of the 45 per cent, 20 per cent called for the feds to "significantly" reduce spending, while the other quarter of Canadians said it should be reduced "somewhat."

Nearly one-fifth, or 19 per cent of Canadians said the government should keep spending at its current rate, while 20 per cent called for increased spending.

When those who were unsure were excluded from the poll, 54 percent of Canadians wanted the feds to rein in spending, 23 percent were fine with the status quo, and 24 percent of decided Canadians wanted the government to spend more of their taxes.

"The poll results show most Canadians want the government to cut spending," Franco Terrazzano, the CTF Federal Director said in a news release. "Canadians know they pay too much tax because the government wastes too much money."

Prime Minister Mark Carney vowed to reduce spending so Canadians could invest more but a federal treasury board estimated Carney's spending regime would cost Canadians $486.9 billion – an over 8 per cent increase from Trudeau's spending the previous year.

"Prime Minister Mark Carney told Canadians he would rein in spending, but spending is ballooning again this year," Terrazzano said. "The poll shows Canadians want Carney to reverse course and put an end to Ottawa's runaway spending."

The Carney government is jeopardizing our economy, diverisfication, government revenue and national unity by not putting up road blocks to this country's most valuable exports.

Governments must prioritize energy infrastructure — including pipelines

In a recent meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney, the provincial premiers discussed major infrastructure and energy projects to be fast-tracked through a new federal approval process. While the general sentiment was that the meeting was productive and collaborative, the British Columbia government seemingly shot down Alberta's proposed pipeline to B.C.'s northern coast. This political resistance to new pipeline infrastructure overlooks the positive potential impact such projects could have for Canada and beyond.

Carney plans to table legislation that would create a new major projects office tasked with reducing approval times from five to two years, among other measures. Major projects must meet numerous criteria before being deemed in the "national interest" and expedited. The premiers have compiled a shortlist of projects for consideration, though the full list has not been publicly released.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's proposed pipeline would transfer bitumen to the Port of Prince Rupert in B.C., which would open access to Asian markets. B.C. Deputy Premier Niki Sharma, who attended the recent meeting in place of B.C. Premier David Eby, said the proposal has "no proponent" at this stage and that her government plans to focus on "shovel-ready projects."

And it isn't just the Eby government resisting the project. Steven Guilbeault, a member of Carney's cabinet, recently dismissed the need for additional pipeline infrastructure, including to B.C.'s coast, based on incorrect information about the Trans Mountain pipeline's capacity and future oil demand.

Again, this political resistance ignores key facts about Canada's energy sector, including our current overreliance on a single customer. Currently, 97% of our oil exports go to the United States. This heavy reliance on the U.S. market has made Canada vulnerable to U.S. policy changes, as highlighted by the recent threat of tariffs on Canadian energy. Expanding pipeline infrastructure — both westward, as proposed by Premier Smith, and eastward — would help us diversify our export market and allow Canada to reach customers in Asia and Europe.

And pipeline expansion is not just about exports; it's also about enhancing energy security at home. Some parts of our country, namely Ontario and Quebec, remain heavily dependent on U.S. pipelines to meet their energy needs. Specifically, due to the lack of a west-east pipeline dedicated to oil, for more than 70 years, Canadian oil extracted in Alberta has passed through the U.S. via Enbridge's network before returning to Ontario.

Finally, this discussion shouldn't be limited to oil. There is and will continue to be strong demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) in many parts of the world, including in Asia, for many years to come, which presents Canada with a significant opportunity to become a major LNG exporter and provide cleaner-burning fuel to countries such as China and India.

However, building the necessary infrastructure (pipelines and LNG terminals) is critical if we're serious about seizing this opportunity.

Governments across Canada should support critical energy infrastructure, including pipelines. This means putting politics aside and recognizing the importance of infrastructure in expanding export opportunities, ensuring energy security, reducing global emissions and creating prosperity across the country.

Carney is bringing back Bill C-63, the Online Harms Act that Trudeau was forced to drop. This combined with C-2 unofficially makes Carney and his Liberal Party a dictatorship.
