And yet Torontonians voted for four more years of the leftist @oliviachow She has no interest in fixing crime. She’s going to raise taxes and support Islamist terrorists.

And today @MarkJCarney talked about a “sovereign” tech company - just simply inviting more hackers into Canada.
McCarthy Tétrault, one of Canada’s top corporate law firms, is dealing with a major data breach that has compromised thousands of files, including client information. The breach occurred over the last week, according to two sources familiar with the matter, and one source directly involved said 31,000 files were stolen. The Globe and Mail is not naming the sources because they are not authorized to speak publicly about the matter. McCarthy Tétrault confirmed the breach to The Globe and Mail, but declined to comment on the number of affected files. The firm, which advises on some of the highest profile deals in Canada, has been reaching out to Bay Street clients this week and informing them of the breach. Clients are currently in the process of learning what information has been compromised. theglobeandmail.com/business…

The type of Toronto under that idiot @oliviachow and her lefty council. This is what Moronto voted for. People. Get out of that city. She will infest it with the same type of rats that support her.
Toronto CEO David Morton and his two adult daughters were shot inside their Bridle Path home, and his wife was hit with a hammer. Three masked men forced their way in at 3:43 AM and are still out there.

In Canada - anemic growth. You ever notice @MarkJCarney and company use the word resilient. Never growth. That just means we don’t go negative. But he keeps infesting us with migrants who don’t contribute so we don’t dip. But we never grow.
BREAKING: The U.S. economy grew at an annualized rate of 3.4% in the third quarter, beating economists' expectations of 3.2%. The stronger-than-expected GDP report comes as President Trump makes his final push on the campaign trail, with the midterm elections just days away.

This is your chance @MarkJCarney Canadians WANT you to apply for that job.
I have just informed my colleagues that I will step down as @ECB President on 7 February 2027. It has been a source of great pride to serve this institution. I thank all of those who have supported me on this journey over the past seven years.

Confirmation the Globe and Mail was spreading propaganda with their BS piece on the poll showing Canadians want MORE IMMIGRATION. One interesting fact the Globe and Mail left out - the poll/survey was conducted by a pro-immigration lobbyist group.

Mark Carney sees Canada as a future ‘hub’ for Europe’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, and he'll do anything to get that launched This is his insane Net Zero plan in action He's trading the US trade tariffs for the EU's carbon tariff and hoping we won't notice He's known about this since December Is this why he pulled the US deal 😏 This man is diabolical
Hold on a second. Canadians have been told, for months, that a key tenet in the Prime Minister's whole trade strategy is "walk away from Washington, pivot to Europe". Now we find out his own officials told him in December 2025 that the pivot runs straight into a wall? The EU's carbon tariff hits Canadian steel, iron and aluminum, the same metals already hit by U.S. tariffs. And even though, with great fanfare, the Prime Minister is forging ahead with some kind of "associate membership" for Canada in the EU, an exemption is "not currently possible." In other words, he sat on that detail for 10 months, until an access to information request forced it out days before he hosts the Canada-EU Summit. So the plan is: turn down the August terms that were agreed then disagreed to in three days with the U.S., tell workers Europe is the answer, and quietly know Europe is putting up its own border charge. According to the @CBCNews report, that charge is close to $900M a year in exposure in Newfoundland and Labrador, $792M in Quebec, and adds up to $150 more per tonne of steel by 2034. And recall that he weakened the carbon price in his Alberta deal while knowing that, with it, he made an EU exemption even harder to get. What kind of diversification is it if you're trading one tariff wall for two and hoping nobody reads the memo?

Mark Carney loves tariffs.
‼️BREAKING: EU to Hit Canada with Carbon Tariffs All is fair in love, war and trade! In a stunning blow, the EU is imposing carbon border charges on Canadian steel, iron, and aluminum starting 2027. -$2.8 billion in exports exposed — no exemption for Canada despite its own carbon price. -Internal docs call it “effectively a carbon tariff.” Quebec and Newfoundland hardest hit as Ottawa pushes EU trade diversification. -Canadian producers face new compliance costs and higher prices on metals already slammed by U.S. tariffs. -The EU is weaponizing climate policy into a direct trade hit on Canada. The EU is applying its Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) to Canadian steel, iron and aluminum to stop “carbon leakage”. Our new best friends dont even want our stuff! How brutal is this?

EU is hitting Canadian steel, iron & aluminum with carbon border charges starting in 2027. $2.8B exposed. No exemptions despite our domestic carbon price. Meanwhile, they are backing away from the “associate membership” label. Quite the start, eh.

Mark Carney and the PMO. Office of propaganda. That’s what this sounds like.
I have put together every single screenshot I could find from the PMO documents where Carney has said “In a dangerous and divided world” Every yellow highlight you see is him saying or using that line. Out of 123 press releases, statements, videos & speeches he said it 146 times! This is a high res jpeg, so you can zoom in and see each one. I’d say him using that line on Canadians has gone too far.

Alberta Premier, Danielle Smith, is KILLING IT. 1. Only Alberta and Canadian flag to be flown at schools. 2. Proof of citizenship required to vote. 3. No more DEI hires in public sector.

The media in Canada needs to cover this story. carney needs to lose the media support now. It’s annoying they don’t question him at all
It’s actually refreshing to have a Canadian Premier who isn’t afraid to publicly stand up to Mark Carney. Must be infuriating for Carney to hear the word NO.

Except President van Lederhosen landed today in Quebec and spewed the BS about associate member.

In other words - “fuck you Carney”
J’ai pris note aujourd’hui de la nouvelle offre de Mark Carney d’obtenir le droit de m’assoir à sa table d’honneur à titre de spectateur, sans droit de parole ni droit de négocier au nom du Québec. Cette proposition revient à demander au Québec de rentrer dans les rangs, avec la vassalisation et l’invisibilisation du Québec que cela implique, en échange d’obtenir de meilleurs sièges de spectateurs pour regarder la partie. Comme premier ministre, je refuserai toujours que le Québec soit réduit au rôle de spectateur lorsqu’il s’agit de représenter et protéger les intérêts économiques et politiques des Québécois. La réalité est que nous sommes devant une stratégie de marginalisation du Québec sur la scène internationale et de subordination des champs de compétence du Québec à la volonté du fédéral. Je note à cet effet que tous les chefs de partis de l’Assemblée nationale ont indiqué hier que s’ils étaient dans la position de premier ministre et devant un tel sommet sur le territoire du Québec, ils s’attendraient à prendre la parole et à participer à part entière. À Ottawa, le chef de l'opposition officielle ainsi que le chef du Bloc Québécois ont également appuyé notre demande. J’ai donc pris la plume et j’ai écrit aux représentants de l’Union européenne pour leur rappeler que des ententes qui impliquent l’Europe et le Québec doivent forcément passer par le gouvernement du Québec, et à plus forte raison si le sommet se tient sur notre territoire. Le refus de nous donner la parole à titre d’hôte pour souhaiter la bienvenue à nos invités y est également mentionné. Je lance donc l’invitation pour une discussion bilatérale dans un meilleur contexte qui permettrait au Québec de ne pas être exclu. À ce titre, j’enverrai le diplomate en chef du Québec, Pascal Paradis, pour ouvrir ces canaux de discussion pour la suite.

Carney has no Plan B. Carney really thought he could charm his way into an EU membership of sorts. His hubris wasn’t prepared for pushback. That’s what happens when you overestimate your own influence and underestimate the people sitting across the table. So Canadians will get another Carney Summit. More photo ops and more meaningless grand announcements. Déjà vu of Carney’s September Investment Summit. Lots of fanfare, photo ops and promises, but ZERO RESULTS. That’s all Mark Carney is - grand announcements and photo ops. He’s great at staging his victory lap before he ever crosses the finish line.
1 day before the Canada EU Summit in Montreal, Germany, Italy, France AND Greece object to a draft EU-Canada declaration that cites von der Leyen’s ‘associate membership’ offer 🤯 this is big I encourage media in Canada to ask Carney these questions today. What’s Plan B?
