@bruce_barrett I grew up within a few kilometers of that mess. It's always been a challenge when the bomb drops, even for experienced drivers.

@ScottJamesAb @KatKanada_TM Scary, thinking about them. Trudeau couldn't find his hat if his hair was on fire, but they managed to get him elected and keep him in office for almost a decade. What a pair.

@Irek_K Shawinigate. The sponsorship scandal. Why should anyone care what this corrupt relic thinks?

@Concern70732755 They talk like they're protecting Canada from Trump but the real question is: who are they harvesting it for? Canada has the land mass of China and the population of California. Teamed up with the US and Mexico we could be a juggernaut. So who benefits from stopping that?

"No business case for LNG." - Trudeau So Trump gets our deal instead. It's not enough the Liberal government blows money like it's going out of style, they turn away huge sources of revenue. Sad. LILLEY: Trump gives Japan LNG deal Trudeau denied in 2023

@wendyfanning @KatKanada_TM I've floated this idea a few times and received some backlash, but it wouldn't surprise me. Carney's already using the word 'crisis'. They'll pull out all the stops.

RT @Startthinknow:

I'm wondering more lately, not about who the Liberals claim they're protecting Canada from, but who they're actually safeguarding it for. Even without the 51st state nonsense, throwing in with US and Mexico would make North America an unbeatable economic powerhouse. Oddly, the Liberals seem to really hate that idea. Is it surprising Carney's their boy? Always have to wonder: cui bono?

@govt_corrupt Well, Team Trudeau certainly seems keen to escalate the situation. I'm wondering more about the carbon tax 'replacement'. Did I hear tariffs? And if so, how better to get them than blame them on Trump? Whatever else you think of the LPC, they got shithead elected 3X. Not stupid.

@stevenmackinnon @JustinTrudeau @FP_Champagne @AnitaAnandMP Canada is a post national state where democracy has been replaced by a committee of selected cronies led by a lame duck 'retiree' and rallying around a transplanted globalist. The question is not who they're protecting it from, but who they're safeguarding it for.

@6ixbuzztv Maybe start with the brick wall that is Quebec. That'll never happen, though.

@WSOnlineNews Determined to capitalize on this crisis, even if it must intentionally be made worse. A month ago, I thought that was just my cynicism at work. Now it just seems depressingly obvious.

RT @RobertBoutilie3: @WSOnlineNews If the Libs legitimize running against Trump/USA, that legitimizes the CPC running against the WEF & Chi…

RT @LoveMy7Wood: Justin Trudeau quickly and quite publicly (for what he perceived as his maximum political benefit) rejected Japan’s desire…

When asked for costs vs. benefits, Catherine McKenna practically sneered with condescension when the tax was being proposed. In her defense (NEVER thought I'd say that) it's easy to say something won't work when it hasn't been tried. After nine years of this 'trust us' BS, though, we should expect some numbers. How much has it cost? What has it achieved? How does that compare to programs in other countries? Instead, more of the same condescending BS.

Really? Canada has a land mass equal to China and a population equal to California. Canadians have been oblivious to how attractive that is to outside interests. We can either strengthen our relationship with the US or allow others to pull us apart. Like China, Russia, or WEF actors. And whatever happens, Canadians will still be yarbling on about beavers, maple syrup and Anne Murray. We really need to pick a side.

@funtomvids I'd rather see him in a room like this. I understand, though. No sense letting democracy get in the way of your master plan, especially if you can choose all the members of your committee.

How many, exactly, want to join him? Some Canadians want a return to pragmatism after nine years of costly and divisive Trudeau progressivism. You can be a loyal Canadian, recognize Trump is an extreme model, yet still believe a line-item audit of our institutions is overdue. Some others, it seems, buy the '51st state' rhetoric being amplified by the Liberals, the NDP and the MSM. They're being warned that Pierre Poilievre will show up on first day of US negotiations and hand over title to Canada, all his statements to the contrary. 'Canadians' aren't a homogeneous blob, but we're seeing more rhetoric suggesting they are, especially from the legacy media. We're being sold on a national crisis with threats to our sovereignty, accusations of traitors in our midst, and calls to arms with Trudeau and Carney as the color guard. It feels to me like we're being astro-turfed, and it has a really suspicious Telford-esque 'We'll get some people to write some op-eds' ring to it. Or maybe some Canadians - like me - have become hardened cynics.

@MarcNixon24 "Canadians believe . . ." Some do. Others know astroturf when they see it. This is what media capture gets you.
