Sometimes I look around and wonder how a country so blessed with natural beauty, resources and opportunity ended up where we are today.
11 years of Liberal promises. 11 years of political ideology taking precedence over economic prosperity.
Canadians deserve better than soaring living costs, declining affordability and endless lectures from Ottawa.
And the sheer audacity to keep telling Canadians how prosperous we are?
Canada was never short of potential. It was short of leadership that could deliver on it.
What a beautiful country. What a wasted opportunity. 🇨🇦
Well it was great while it lasted

The return on investment of the timeout generation coming due
Captain Ken Kunkel, pictured on the left, has been identified as the cadet supervisor who was the victim of an aggravated assault on November 1st. Kunkel is currently in the hospital with a spinal injury.
Capt. Ken Kunkle is the Commanding Officer of the 826 Gryphon Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron, based in Binbrook, Ontario.
Estela Quintanilla, pictured on the right, as well as two unidentified male minors, were the alleged perpetrators of the violent attack. Quintanilla did not know any of the other parties in the altercation.
Quintanilla and a 12-year-old male are facing charges of aggravated assault. The 11-year-old male cannot be charged because under Section 13 of the Criminal Code of Canada, the minimum age of criminal responsibility is 12 years old.
Leading up to the assault, two cadets were doing a poppy drive on Sunday at a mall when the two unidentified males assaulted them by honking a compressed air horn in their ears and faces.
Air horns can easily produce sounds exceeding 120 decibels. Close-proximity exposure can cause immediate and permanent hearing loss or eardrum trauma.
A compressed air horn can be legally classified as a weapon if it is used to intimidate or assault someone.
The cadets reported what had happened to their supervisor, Capt. Kunkel. Hearing what happened, Capt. Kunkel responded and followed the males into a nearby Mandarin restaurant to prevent the alleged male aggressors from fleeing before police could arrive.
According to the Hamilton Spectator, "A struggle then ensued over one of the youths' backpacks as the commander tried to keep them from fleeing until officers arrived, according to Const. Trevor McKenna. The boys, in turn, 'snatched' his keys and lanyard."
At this point, Quintanilla is alleged to have tripped Capt. Kunkel. As he lay defenseless on the ground, the male aggressors reportedly began to punch Capt. Kunkel and stomp on his head. All parties involved in the aggravated assault then fled the scene of their crime.
The alleged male aggressors were found nearby at another establishment, where they were causing a disruption. They were throwing around objects inside a retail store. The police found them when they responded to a call about their criminal conduct in the store.
It is unknown whether or not the cadets sustained injuries in the initial alleged compressed air horn assault.
Quintanilla could not be reached for comment. Further reporting will be done about this story this evening, streaming live tonight at 7 PM EST.
A close family friend has set up a fund to assist Ken Kunkel and his family with his very serious injuries.

What utter bullshit is this?
There are a lot of struggling skills trades workers riding the pogey train that could use that extra $20,000 you take off our cheques on our first and sometimes only $45,000 of income per year

🚨🇨🇦 THE $100,000 SALARY ILLUSION.
You earned $100,000 in 2019.
You still earn $100,000 in 2025.
But look what happened:
🏠 Home insurance: +45%
🚗 Auto insurance: +23.9%
📈 Overall inflation: +21%
Now the painful math.
💰 Gross salary: $100,000
💸 Ontario taxes, CPP & EI: ~$26,000
💵 Take-home: ~$74,000
Adjusted for inflation, that take-home pay has the purchasing power of just $61,200 in 2019 dollars.
And here’s the kicker:
You’d need a $121,000 gross salary in 2025 just to match the purchasing power of $100,000 in 2019, BEFORE accounting for changes in taxes.
Same job. Same salary. Smaller financial future.
A six-figure salary hasn’t stopped being six figures.
It’s just stopped buying what it used to.
🇨🇦 Welcome to Canada’s shrinking purchasing power.

So much of the climate hysteria is just aimless guilt roaming the earth in search of futile acts of atonement.
