Mark Carney

While the Toronto Star obsesses over one Conservative MP crossing the floor, here's what they're not talking about: Multiple former Liberals have already joined the Conservatives—including names like Joe Comuzzi, Wajid Khan, Leona Alleslev, and David Emerson.

Everyone knows that this gun buyback is a stupid waste of time and money that won't stop a single gun death.
Why are the Liberals pushing it through anyway?

Being a friend of Mark Carney's and wanting more mass migration than ever doesn't make you qualified to be ambassador to the United States.

98% of Canadian gun owners refused to register with Conman Carney's gun buyback.

Let me tell you what just happened in Canada because nobody else is going to frame this for you properly.

A man named Patrick Pichette, former Senior VP of Google, sat on a stage at the Canadian Liberal convention this week and suggested that young Canadians who want to leave the country to work in America should pay an exit tax.
Of $500,000.

Half a million dollars. To leave.

And the room applauded. Thunderous applause, actually.
Now, let me tell you about Patrick Pichette.

Patrick Pichette left Canada decades ago to take a job at Microsoft. You know what he paid to leave? Thirty dollars. He climbed the ladder. Made his fortune. Moved to Europe, where he lives now, comfortably, far away from the country he's trying to lock other people inside of. Pretty sweet.

This man paid thirty dollars for the same door he now wants to charge your kids $500,000 to walk through.

That's not a policy. That's pulling the ladder up behind you and setting it on fire. What a nice guy! Just another "compassionate" and "empathetic" progressive to add to my list.

But here's where it gets really fun. Let's zoom out.

The Canadian boomers have built themselves quite a paradise up there in Snow Mexico. They inflated a real estate bubble so extreme that a starter home costs nearly a million dollars. Their children can't afford groceries. Their grandchildren will never own property. The entire middle class ladder has been sawed off at the third rung.

They opened the borders and brought in so many people so fast that the cities don't resemble what they looked like ten years ago. The character of entire neighborhoods changed in a single generation. And if you say anything about it, if you even notice it out loud, you're a racist. You smile and clap and pretend you don't see your own country disappearing in front of you.

The boomers don't live in those neighborhoods, of course. They live in the suburbs they bought for $200,000 in 1995 that are now worth $2.5 million. They don't see it. They don't have to. They only see the TV. The state broadcaster. That's how their reality is defined for them.

And what are they worried about? A recent poll showed that the number one priority for older Canadian voters was signaling against Donald Trump. Not housing. Not immigration. Not the cost of living. Trump. Orange man bad. That's what keeps them up at night while their kids can't afford milk. And they don't feel any embarrassment over it. In fact, they're PROUD of it.

(These are the people who just handed Mark Carney a majority government. Serious people. Serious decisions. Obviously.)

So the young Canadians, the ones who can still do math and still want a future to look forward to, start looking south. America has jobs. Affordable housing. A culture that still rewards ambition instead of punishing it. Not to mention the beauty of the First and Second Amendments. Can you blame them?

And what is Canada's response? Not "let's fix the economy." Not "let's make it possible to build a life here."

Lock the door. Charge them half a million for the key.

Thomas Sowell predicted this pattern. When you raise the cost of leaving, you don't keep your best people. You keep the ones who can't afford to escape. The ambitious ones leave earlier, before the cage door closes. The ones left behind are the ones the government deserves: obedient, dependent, and too broke to fight back.
Free countries don't need exit taxes.

Prisons do.
