Way to Build Canada Strong gentleman!!!! Same old failed Liberal investments.
BIG LOSS 👀 As Telesat Corp reported a net loss of $157 million for 3rd quarter of FY26 with consolidated revenue declining to $81 million WHY is this such a Big deal? Because it’s another failed Canadian government investment 🇨🇦 The Government committed $2.14 BILLION in loans plus $600 MILLION for operational satellite capacity alongside a recent $2.3 billion federal defense contract 🤯 INSANE

As of October 5th, 2026 44% of Canadians were $200 away from not being able to pay their monthly bills according to the MNP Consumer Debt Index. Pretty gross seeing this type of tab racked up while Canadians are struggling to afford their basic necessities. ipsos.com/en-ca/mnp-consumer…
🚨🚨New personal record for Carney: Carney and entourage drop $175,000 on airplane food during one international trip. Beef tenderloin with demi-glace sauce. Veal escalope with lemon and capers. Truffle risotto. Seabass fillet. Crème brûlée. That’s what Carney and his entourage ate on one trip to China, Qatar and Davos. The bill: $175,248 for airplane food. That’s his most expensive airplane food trip yet. "Spend less" lol taxpayer.com/newsroom/beef-f…

Carney calls it “sovereign AI.” Yet Cohere has partnered with American company @CoreWeave to operate AI infrastructure in Canada. The problem? Under the U.S. CLOUD Act, American authorities can legally compel U.S. companies to hand over data they control, even if it's stored in Canada. So are Canadians buying AI sovereignty for $1.6 BILLION, or just the illusion of it?
Secure, sovereign AI. Built in Canada for the benefit of all Canadians.

Figured we should bring this one back out of the shed now that Carney invested over $1B in Cohere.
AI Sovereignty for Carney means implementing Cohere AI which relies on American data infrastructure, putting Canadians at risk. An American company is building the data centre project, that Canadian taxpayers invested $240 Million into. Let’s not forget get how Cohere had quietly partnered with Palantir, the same company with government defence contracts. If any Canadian data passes through US owned infrastructure, it’s subject to the CLOUD act which could lead to theses companies turning over Canadian civilian or military data…

She'll just give them another 15 days to respond don't worry...
Industry Minister Melanie Joly has sent yet another letter to Stelco saying the company has not provided enough information to prove they are compliant with their 2024 deal with Ottawa, including employment undertakings after the layoffs in Hamilton. “The interim report repeatedly asserts compliance with the undertakings and, in several instances, provides only conclusory statements in support of that position. Assertions of compliance are not a substitute for the information and evidence necessary to establish compliance.” #cdnpoli

🚨 FALLING APART 🚨 Mark Carney credited his economic plan when interest rates were falling. The BoC just raised them for the first time in three years. Meanwhile, explosive new documents reveal Canadian exporters face EU carbon tariffs despite Carney's claims about carbon pricing being necessary for trade.

He’s pulled quite the bait and switch on the O&G sector. Secured exactly what he wanted with his agreement with Alberta on carbon pricing, and now Canadian industries will face CBAM in Europe. Watch pathways get built but no pipeline 😅
Mark Carney on CBAM: “It aligns Canada with our allies who are still engaged in the fight against climate change”. Another fail. Everything he does is a failure.

He’s the architect of this mess. “As Bill Gates has said, these markets will help with essential breakthrough technologies, such as hydrogen, direct air carbon capture, and sustainable aviation fuel that are needed to get us ultimately to net-zero”

WATCH QP October 27, 2026: The government is not a family-run business. The Prime Minister created an official Government role for his wife as Canada's new "Ocean Envoy" and gave her more than $1.2 billion tax dollars to work with. Liberals shut down a motion to have her appear at Committee to explain her new role, her mandate, her priorities, and what the $1.2 Billion tax dollars will be used for. #cdnpoli

How does Canada become more independent by becoming an “associate member” of the EU? That is a reason Carney gave for doing this.
🚨 BACKFIRING🚨 Major EU States just blocked a draft Canada-EU declaration over the undefined “associate member” status. After all the talk of bringing Canada closer to Europe, what exactly is this plan, and why are some of the EU’s biggest states pushing back?

Conservative MP Sandra Cobena on Carney's debt: "You have one Prime Minister taking on $733 billion of debt, an amount of debt that generations of Prime Ministers before him took on, and he's doing that in just five years."

Canadians are paying the price for Liberal debt. Federal debt interest costs a family of four $6,000 a year in taxes. Conservatives identified over $150 billion in spending cuts to reduce debt, lower taxes and invest in services Canadians need: conservative.ca/cpc/make-car…

It sure would be nice to have financial transparency. Not only for the sake of Canadian taxpayers, but for the First Nations communities themselves.
🇨🇦🦅🏘️🚰 : Mark Carney highlights how much money Canada is spending on First Nation communities for education, housing and clean water. 🏫 Education $3.5b 🏘️ Housing $4b 🚰 Water $4.5b All that money is given with no auditing of how that money is spent.

🇨🇦💳📈😲 : Pierre Poilievre says Canadians will assume another $730 billion in new Federal debt, in just five years. Which works out to $40K worth of new debt, for every single Canadian. Canadians are watching more and more of their taxes go to pay interest on debt, at the expense of government services. We are becoming slaves to debt. It's that simple. I warned on Friday the government seeks out crisis after crisis, so they can borrow endlessly, with almost no accountability over how the money is wasted. There is a very real cost to assuming all this new debt. Especially at a time when the Canadian economy and wages are not catching up to the inflation rate. Most Canadians are getting poorer compared to our friends and families in the USA. It's very noticeable and if left unchecked, we can expect soon to see the same levels of chaotic unrest and riots, that are seen in Europe.
