Your Dishonest, Wasteful, Delusional, Greedy Government and You

Would that this all ended in May ... :


Carney said at a Saturday morning announcement in Whitby, Ont., that keeping the spending taps open was part of standing up to U.S. President Donald Trump.

“It’s said there are no atheists in foxholes, there should be no libertarians in a crisis,” said Carney.

“In a crisis… the private sector retreats and government needs to step up.”

Big-ticket items include $18 billion in new defence spending, including $850 million in accrued capital investment toward new hardware like icebreakers, a $6.8 billion nation-building fund and $5 billion for internal trade corridors.

Liberals claim that the upfront spending on economic integration will grow the national economy by up to $200 billion.

“To unite this country (we) will build one economy where Canadians can work wherever they want (and) (w)here goods can move freely from coast to coast to coast,” reads the platform.

Carney has also said he’ll bring up defence spending to the NATO target of two per cent of GDP by 2030 at the latest.

The four-year plan also includes billions in gender and equity-related spending, including $160 million to make the Trudeau-era Black Entrepreneurship Program permanent, $400 million for a new IVF program and $2.5 billion for new infrastructure in Indigenous communities.

The platform maintains previously announced funding for Trudeau-era child, dental and pharmacare programs, as well as the school lunch program announced in last year’s budget.

New and existing measures will blow a $225-billion hole in the federal budget, with some of it being offset by bigger federal penalties and fines for transgressions like money laundering.

The platform also prices in a one-time infusion of $20 billion in revenue from retaliatory tariffs on the U.S., during the 2025-26 fiscal year.

Carney has said that this revenue will go directly to workers and businesses affected by the tariffs.

He said on Saturday that, while he was ready for a multi-year trade war, he didn’t want to the tariffs to be in place any longer than they had to be.

“We don’t want to rely on those tariff revenues… so we concentrate them today and will deal with them tomorrow,” Carney told reporters.

The Liberal platform gives no timeline for a return to balance but says that the operating budget, which accounts for more than 95 per cent of federal spending, will see a modest surplus of $220 million by the 2028-9 fiscal year.



And where are you going to get this money, Carney?

Cabinet will not meet its target of reducing poverty by 50 percent, Department of Employment figures show. Then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau launched the campaign six years ago on a promise he was making history: “We have a plan.”






You're screwed:

The numbers don’t lie. Federal debt has more than doubled since 2015, climbing past $1.2 trillion. Interest payments on that debt are now larger than what Ottawa spends on health care transfers to the provinces. They’ve run out of room to borrow without consequences. They’ve run out of excuses, and now, they’re running out of people to tax — except you.

If you own a home, particularly if it’s paid off, congratulations. You’re about to become the government’s next target.

For years, Liberal governments have hunted for new revenue sources. First, it was high-income earners. Then it was small businesses. Then it was emissions, and now, they’ve found the motherlode: Home equity.

The combined equity in Canadian homes — what people actually own after mortgages — is worth trillions. That’s not a typo. Trillions. This wealth wasn’t handed out. It wasn’t generated by government programs. It was built by Canadians who worked overtime, cut spending, and took risks to buy property and maintain it.

When politicians see numbers that big, they don’t think about personal sacrifice. They see opportunity. They see a pot of money they didn’t earn but can tap, spin, and reframe as a “solution” to national problems. Especially now, with new programs promised and no fiscal discipline in sight.

That brings us to Mark Carney.

Carney isn’t the face of some new centrist revival. He’s a polished version of the same Liberal machine that brought you exploding deficits, carbon taxes, and economic drift. His priorities remain aligned with the party’s true agenda: wealth redistribution at any cost, dressed up in the language of “climate action” and “fairness.”

Let’s not kid ourselves — home equity taxes are not a conspiracy theory. They’ve been studied repeatedly by the government’s own institutions.

The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, fully backed by the federal government, funded research into taxing the equity in people’s primary homes. They didn’t do it once. They’ve done it several times. Each time it leaked, they denied it. Each time public outrage died down, they resumed.

Their go-to advisor? A man who refers to homeowners as “lottery winners.” That’s the worldview now circulating in Ottawa — that if you managed to own a home in Canada, it wasn’t because you saved or worked hard. It was blind luck, and lucky people, in their minds, should be taxed.

That’s the groundwork being laid. Not for fun. Not for sport. Out of necessity.

The federal government is out of cash, and unlike businesses that cut expenses, they only know how to solve problems one way: Take more.

They tried to soften you up with the carbon tax. That didn’t work. They said it was about saving the environment, but it was always about revenue. Now that the public has turned on it, they’re preparing the next move. This time, it won’t hit you at the pump. It’ll hit you in your living room.

Think about it: What other untapped assets exist in Canada large enough to fund government bloat? You can’t raise income taxes much higher without political suicide. Business investment is already fleeing the country. Consumption taxes? Unlikely, with inflation where it is. That leaves one thing: Housing.

It won’t start with some big, obvious policy. It’ll be introduced as a “modest” measure. A surcharge. A fairness tax. A generational equity contribution. Something vague and palatable. Framed as a one-time thing. A drop in the bucket, but once they open that door, it won’t close.

You’ll hear claims that it will only affect wealthy Canadians. That it’s just for homes above a certain threshold. That retirees will be protected. Don’t believe it. The same promises were made about income tax brackets and capital gains exemptions. How long did those promises hold?



Could Liberal leader Mark Carney be more abhorrent?

The answer is yes, even considering Chinese election interference on behalf of the Liberals, his company receiving a $250-million Chinese loan, and new allegations of offshore tax avoidance in the billions.

Carney branded himself a political outsider from the start of his campaign. Is he also an outsider to decency — positioning himself as a special-class citizen above Canada’s growing peasant class?

A video surfaced Tuesday, date unknown, of Carney admitting that taxes on flying and other transportation should increase for the sake of net-zero and fighting climate change.

"We should be taking into account the impact of our flying on the planet now," he said in the video. "You push up the tax on flying, you push up the cost on transport, and that's in part with putting a price on carbon."









Canada has become a hub for global money laundering with between $45 billion and $113 billion per year washed through real estate, the big banks, crypto and casinos.

And that cash funds enterprises such as the production and peddling of fentanyl and other crimes.






Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is pledging to cut the federal government’s bloated budget for outside consultants by $10 billion annually, if his party wins government, returning consultant fees to levels last seen under the Harper Conservative government.





The Canadian Future Party is calling for the immediate dismissal of Amira Elghawaby, cabinet’s $191,000-a-year Special Representative on Combating Islamophobia, and the elimination of her office entirely.

Blacklock's Reporter says in a platform released this week, the party proposed folding her responsibilities into existing government agencies.

“Remove the position and budget of the Special Representative on Combating Islamophobia, reabsorbing this within the pre-existing responsibilities of the Canadian Human Rights Commission and Department of Canadian Heritage,” the platform stated.

No justification was provided for targeting Elghawaby specifically.

“Every public initiative must be properly funded to deliver results,” the party wrote in its platform. Leader Dominic Cardy, a former New Brunswick education minister, did not offer additional comment.

Elghawaby was appointed to the role in 2023 with a four-year mandate, a $5.4 million budget, and a staff of five. At the time, then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said she would “help advance respect for equity, inclusion and diversity.”

Before her appointment, Elghawaby wrote columns for the Toronto Star, Ottawa Citizen, Globe & Mail, and National Post, where she frequently challenged dominant cultural narratives in Canada.

She advocated for Muslim prayer in schools, criticized Canada Day for promoting “European, Judeo-Christian storytelling,” and referred to the monarchy as a “symbol of racial oppression.”

In a 2021 column, Elghawaby wrote that the Crown’s legacy was “built upon the oppression it benefited from throughout its shameful history,” calling for Canada to drop the Queen as head of state. “It would be difficult, though it would be worth it,” she wrote.

In the same year, she argued Canada Day should be reexamined, writing that national narratives had “created a false sense of what it means to be Canadian, often far removed from painful realities.”

Elghawaby also drew attention for her activism.

She was a speaker at a 2017 protest “against white supremacy and racism” outside the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa.

In other writings, she questioned whether police should be armed, criticized Québec for “legitimizing the violation of human rights,” and said parts of Western Canada were unsafe for “Black Muslim women.”

In contrast, she praised Justin Trudeau as a “warm” figure with a “message of hope.”


Leave the country, b!#ch.
