Your middle-of-the-week trouncing ...
With this budget, prepare to make sacrifices.
Not Carney, though:
Spending during this fiscal year, which overlaps almost completely with the start of the Carney government, is expected to jump by $37.6 billion, or 6.9 per cent, just a hair off the 7 per cent increases that the prime minister had seemed to abhor.
The one notable exception was cuts to the public service, both programs and jobs. The Liberals say they’ll trim $59.6-billion over the next five years, mostly from an expenditure review where each department was tasked with finding 15 per cent in savings over the next three years.
Don Drummond, a former high-ranking executive at the Department of Finance and chief economist at TD Bank, said the Carney government’s first budget showed a commitment to large spending increases and deficits for the next few years, despite Canada’s trade woes and other looming threats.
“It’s definitely not an austerity budget,” he said.
With the government’s various spending plans that are being described as “investments” and annual increases to debt interest, overall spending will still jump significantly this year and over the next half-decade. The government’s projections call for a spending jump of $101.1 billion between 2024-25 and 2029-30, an annual increase of $20.2-billion or 3.5 per cent.
The cuts are cosmetic and expect to see taxes tucked away into prices and other fees.
Nothing has changed from the days of the village idiot.
Canadians thinking their grocery bills got more expensive in August are right. Food inflation rose 3.5 per cent in August compared to the overall Consumer Price Index, which rose 1.9 per cent.
The CPI is published regularly by Statistics Canada and reflects changes in prices of consumer goods and services, comparing the cost of a fixed basket of items such as food, clothing, gas, cell service and travel. It’s the country’s main measurement of inflation.
"Me, me, me!" all the way home!:
The only Conservative MP elected in Nova Scotia April 28 last night was challenged to test the voters after crossing the floor to join the Liberal caucus. The defection of MP Chris d’Entremont (Acadie-Annapolis) followed his failed bid to become Commons Speaker: “Run in a byelection. Let’s see what your community thinks.”
As self-serving as his new boss:
Canada’s conservative outlet Juno News depicts Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney as an incompetent, narcissistic leader who has done nothing to improve our country’s image on the world stage or to legislate for solvency and freedom of expression in the domestic realm. He is now at the helm of a faltering country that has little hope of struggling back on its feet.
Indeed, it is hard not to suspect that Carney and his Liberals, like the sinister Democrats in the U.S., are driven by a double agenda against the welfare of their own citizens: to deprive them of their political rights and freedoms via legislative and policy initiatives on the one hand, and to render them destitute by eviscerating the economy on the other. These actions are almost certainly deliberate.
As United Nations Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance, Carney crafted global carbon-pricing initiatives, describing carbon taxes as the “linchpin of responsible climate governance.” His book Value(s) leaves no doubt respecting his globalist and green-industrial objectives at the cost of national sovereignty.
Now he is bruiting several market-driven changes to his preferred agenda to ensure popular support, but still claims “I’m the same me. I’m focused on the same issues…What we need to do is to be as effective as possible in terms of addressing climate change while growing our economy.” It has been proven worldwide that you can’t do both. The dogma of climate change kills not only the climate, the environment, the water table, and the avian cohort. It destroys the economy as well.
As a Western Standard commenter writes, “Despite Canada slipping into third world economic status, Carney’s first proposed bills deal with censorship and control of people's speech/internet posts. That really says where his priority lies. Carney will go down in history as the last Canadian prime minister presiding over 10 provinces and 3 territories.” Or the first Canadian prime minister ruling over a garrison regime.
Carney, the technocratic, oxymoronic, inept globalist banker, who capered into the Liberal leadership, is thus serving up reheated Trudeau goop — more debt, more bureaucracy, more excuses, more anti-pipeline propaganda, more affordability crunch, more Keynesian spending-and-borrowing, and more anti-Trump invective, all of which has led to what plainly appears to be intentional national failure. Canada is merely his laboratory to test his theories for national implosion. Regarding Carney’s first six months in office, Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre has summed up the outcomes thus far, posting that “after six months, everything is worse. Crime, tariffs, inflation, deficits, immigration, housing — all spiralling out of control.” The plan is working.
The key element in his program is to strip away individual rights so that Canadians will be censored and restrained in “a digital gulag” where a series of bills he is proposing—Bill C-8 on cybersecurity, Bill C-9 on combating hate, and Bill C-2 on presumably secure borders—are currently making their way through parliament.
The intention is made to sound noble but is really as black as an old kettle’s arse. Bill C-8 can cut off phone and internet service to political dissidents and opponents of the realm without a court order, depriving them of personal and political access to information and leaving them effaced from “the conversation.” Bill C-9 allows the government to prosecute for “hate crimes,” which have no strict definition and are completely arbitrary, erasing freedom of expression in the public square; people can be arrested for something that hasn’t yet been said or for hurting someone’s feelings. Bill C-2 enables government to open mail parcels and computer files without a warrant. John Carpay of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms has argued that “Canada will be a police state by Christmas if Parliament passes Bills C-2, C-8, and C-9 in their current form.”
Carney’s administration is now seeking, through a factum filed with the Supreme Court, to abolish the Notwithstanding Clause — section 33 of the Charter — involving measures which override certain provisions of the Charter if the Federal and Provincial Legislatures agree. This valid constitutional procedure to change our Constitution is the Amending Formula. As the last living signatory to the 1982 Constitution, Brian Peckford writes, “without this provision there would be no Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and no Constitution Act. This provision was essential for a majority of the Provinces to agree to the [Patriation] bargain.” I have yet to meet a single Canadian who is aware of what is impending or who thinks it is of any importance.
(Sidebar: the Charter is rubbish, anyway.)
This is the sort of thing that is happening in the country, accompanied by the usual lying palaver. Regrettably, Canadians care very little for the rights and privileges of political freedom. They are scarcely aware that the qualities that presumably constitute a genuine democracy are being taken from them by legislative grift, and indeed they voted for this degradation in the last four elections.
Such is the legacy of our lank and metamorph air-dancer Mark Carney. It is odd how an unprepossessing man who seems built for bingo and a late-night toddy can be a doctrinaire and casuistical leader. The press presented him as a world intellectual with gilt-edged credentials and a reputation for fiscal virtuosity who would put the ignorant bully Trump in his place. Nothing remotely like this happened. Carney made sure of that.
Carney is presiding over a stagnant nation that, as Trudeau’s advisor, he helped to create, and, as prime minister, he intends to prolong. Canadians will have become a people without a country or, as Renaud Camus wrote in The Deep Murmur, liquified occupants of the global shantytown, living in a future in which ethos no longer coincides with polis.
There are legal and economic impacts to consider, but perhaps the major problem is that the principle of parliamentary governance is considered a non-issue by most Canadians. With increasing homelessness, out-of-control drug addiction, growing unemployment, rising prices, and food shortages affecting all corners of our nation, countless numbers of men and women will be left without a functioning polity enabling them to address their crumbling civic architecture. That is on them for refusing to apply due diligence during the electoral cycle. This is what the majority voted for.
They say one gets the government one votes for.
Now here we are.
It's hard to boast about an untenable system:
While Canadians suffer from some of the worst access to health care, they also pay one of the largest bills. Canada’s health-care system is the third-most expensive in the developed world. Other countries have built systems that are far more accessible while spending a similar amount or even less than Canada.
Consider Switzerland. For a similar amount of spending to Canada, the Swiss get some of the best access to medical services in the developed world, including high availability of physicians and shorter wait times. It’s a similar story in Australia — lower spending, but more physicians and shorter wait times.
What do these countries do differently from Canada?
For starters, in both Australia and Switzerland, private for-profit hospitals provide a large portion (if not the majority) of hospitalizations and planned surgical care. These countries also allow patients to pay for their own health care, if they so choose — an option many have falsely argued would lead to the destruction of Canada’s universal health-care system.
In other words, both countries embrace the private sector as an essential partner in delivering a high-performing health-care system. That’s a fundamental difference compared to Canada, where defenders of the status quo want Canadians to fear the private sector.
Just like North Korea.
Also:
Doctor shortages have reached a critical level in Canada. At last estimate, the country produces 17 new doctors per 100,000 people annually, meaning that millions of people lack access to a regular provider.
Structural factors may be contributing to the physician shortage. Residency slots are limited, some provinces have strict medical licensing requirements that include extra fees and arduous application processes, and practice eligibility requirements can become expensive. The situation is challenging for Canadians who have a passion for medicine but few options other than to seek education, residency spots, and jobs abroad.
Many Canadian physicians who’ve ventured outside the nation’s borders say that they have found flexibility, better quality of life, and higher salaries. Though they miss their families and friends, many say they won’t return. They consider the hurdles to practicing in Canada to be too high.
"Taking back control" would include some deportations:
Immigration Minister Lena Diab today is expected to table an updated Immigration Levels Plan proposing a 43 percent cut in new temporary permits on foreign students and migrant labour. Cabinet in its budget document depicted the current system as unmanageable: “We are taking back control over the immigration system.”
Also:
Room and board for illegal immigrants is costing taxpayers $195 per day on average, a $29 saving from last year, new data show. The Department of Immigration gave no explanation for trimming costs on hotel rooms, meals, medical care and expenses: “Claimants are treated with compassion.”
And:
We don't have to trade with China:
Opening the door to what he calls pragmatic and constructive dialogue, Prime Minister Mark Carney held a bilateral meeting Friday with the president of China on the margins of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit.
It marked the first formal leader-to-leader contact between the two nations since 2017.
In brief remarks before the start of his meeting with Carney, Xi spoke about the long history of co-operation and engagement between Canada and China. And he invited the prime minister for a state visit.
“China is willing to work together with Canada to push China-Canada relations back onto a healthy, stable and sustainable correct track at an early date, so as to better benefit the people of our two countries,” Xi said in Mandarin Chinese, remarks that were later translated.
Know who owns you, Canada.

Four years after the RCMP first announced investigations into alleged clandestine Chinese “police stations” in Toronto, The Bureau has learned that a Fujian business leader listed as a key principal for the Markham clubhouse under investigation was previously the subject of major narcotics, organized-crime, and triple-murder inquiries in Japan — long before arriving in Canada amid a history of falsified travel documents, gaining citizenship through a refugee claim, and later rising in political and business circles tied to Beijing’s United Front Work Department.
What would Canada do other than give Hamas succor?:
With Canadian military personnel already deployed to Gaza to monitor the ceasefire, the federal government says it's scoping out how it can best support Palestinians in Gaza in the event a peace deal leads to self-governance.
There it is, ladies and gentlemen.
We will be like the Middle East and parts of Africa shortly.
Some people are special:
The question that dominated a Richmond public meeting this week on the impact of a recent court decision on Aboriginal title was a simple one: “Why weren’t we told sooner?”
Residents had learned just this month, courtesy of a letter from Mayor Malcolm Brodie, that the B.C. Supreme Court decision recognizing Aboriginal title over hundreds of acres of city land could have a “negative impact” on private land within the area.
They had heard Premier David Eby say that the mayor’s concerns were warranted and that residents were right to be worried — and not just residents of Richmond. “It is a big deal,” said the premier.
Yet the case dates back 10 years. And as far back as eight years ago, the court had wrestled with whether to notify private landowners about the implications of a declaration of Aboriginal title.
So why were landowners and residents only learning about it now? ...
Yet the mayor maintains that the city did not have the prime responsibility to notify landowners of the implications in advance. He says the onus was on the winning plaintiffs, the Cowichan Tribes.

Manitoba New Democrat MP Leah Gazan reintroduced a private member’s bill Friday that would criminalize residential school denialism, saying “real action” is needed to combat rising anti-Indigenous hate.
Bill C-254, if passed, would amend the Criminal Code to include the promotion of hatred against Indigenous Peoples by “condoning, denying, downplaying or justifying the Indian residential school system.”
“We cannot ignore the obvious, that residential school denialism is simply an act of inciting hate against Indigenous people,” Gazan, the MP for Winnipeg Centre, said in a news release.

I’ve lived in Canada for 18 years now—long enough to shed my illusions, but not long enough to stop being stunned by what I see. When I first arrived, I thought Canadians were polite—too polite, almost unbearably so. The endless “sorrys,” the soft tones, the…
So weakened and so willing to embrace their inner bully that book-burning will be the norm in this country.
Just watch.
