You want to see how Nenshi runs things? Calgary city council is rocketing water taxes because Mr Flubber neglected the water system when he was mayor.
Albertans have lost confidence in Danielle Smith and the UCP.
Albertans overwhelmingly rejected separatism, and voted down the UCP's proposed constitutional changes.
Yet Danielle Smith continues to waste taxpayers' money fighting First Nations in court while refusing to accept the message Albertans have sent her.
Albertans deserve a government focused on fixing health care, improving education, and lowering the cost of living. But the premier is spending her time and our money fighting political battles instead of fighting for the real priorities of Alberta families.
But when Trump suggested that carney was Mr disappointment he was castigated by Elbows Up.
‼️Mark Carney's has a LONG history of grand ideas but never actually following through, that's his "thing".
....look at this, its a crazy list of failures:
- 🇬🇧 Net-Zero Banking Alliance: Carney-launched initiative largely collapsed after major banks exited.
- 🇨🇦 Canada Strong Fund (sovereign wealth fund): Announced April 2026 with $25B seed; no launch date or details after six months.
- 🇨🇦 500,000 homes per year target: Campaign promise quietly walked back; starts far below goal.
- 🇨🇦 U.S. trade deal timelines: Repeated promises of imminent deals (including mid-2025/July) fell apart repeatedly.
- 🇨🇦 $4B health infrastructure funding: Health minister said release is “impossible” for now amid budget pressures.
- 🇨🇦 $1T investment goal / Investment Summit: Claimed ~$500B “unleashed”; mostly restated existing bank/pension plans, not new capital.
- 🇨🇦 Defence Industrial Strategy: Promised by Christmas 2025; not delivered on time.
- 🇨🇦 Brookfield Global Transition Fund net-zero claim: Called Brookfield’s portfolio net zero via “avoided emissions”; walked back after greenwashing criticism.
- 🇨🇦 Brookfield transition funds structure: Funds he co-led used Bermuda registrations for tax advantages.
-🇨🇦 Defence, Security and Resilience Bank: Canada-led initiative; UK declined

Gentle reminder that the whole reason the Trudeau government had to buy the Trans Mountain pipeline was because John Horgan was threatening to illegally blockade it, which probably would have resulted in BC being sued into utter oblivion.
B.C.’s premier-designate says supporting new pipeline is first order of business ctvnews.ca/vancouver/article…

Every single election seems to now be about Israel and what’s happening in Gaza.
Earlier tonight, the incumbent mayor of Toronto was reelected.
A mayor who raised property tax by 19.7% in the past three years.
She’s increased the cost of water and garbage disposal and public transit, and bumped on taxes on multi-residential properties.
Open drug use is up, as are concerns for public safety.
She continued to claim nothing needs to be fixed in the city, performed abysmally in the debates - reading off a script for st least one of them - and yet Torontonians voted for her.
And what’s the reason some of them are saying for why?
Because they refuse to vote for a candidate who has a different opinion on them about Israel.
Because their hatred of Israel is so strong, they’d rather vote in someone who would destroy Toronto, than one who would do right by Toronto, but supports Israel.
This is the insanity hate can do to people.

Toronto demographics demonstrate that civic nationalism is insufficient for maintaining social cohesion in a multicultural society.
77% of Toronto voters are either foreign-born naturalized citizens or Canadian-born children of two foreign-born parents.
It's a captured city.

Mark Carney’s Net Zero agenda and advancing his GFANZ project are central to why he became Prime Minister.
That’s why he refuses deals with Trump, who has ditched the green agenda.
Carney wants to pivot Canada away from the US and bind it tighter to the EU, so we follow the same path... Net Zero agenda mandates delivering Euro-style stagnation and decline, greater digital control, and open borders under an unelected group of globalist tyrants
"A binding green taxonomy is also a prerequisite to better ties to Europe. It is hard to imagine that the deeper economic and financial integration of Canada and the EU that Carney so eagerly promotes is possible without a merging of taxonomies. Unless both economies can agree on the same baseline for investment requirements and restrictions, they will never find common ground.
The green taxonomy can thus be seen as an indicator of the Carney government’s future plans. If the end goal is still net-zero 2050, then a green taxonomy remains a crucial step in that process. The farther it progresses, the closer we get to Euro-style stagnation and decline.
Canada can either open itself for business or commit to a net-zero future. It can’t do both." @InvestNowOrg

Profesor ekonomii na uniwersytecie stwierdził, że kiedyś oblał całą klasę. Ta klasa upierała się, że socjalizm działa i że nikt nie powinien być biedny, a nikt bogaty, że wszyscy są równi...
Nauczyciel powiedział im: „OK, przeprowadzimy eksperyment z socjalizmem w tej grupie.
Wszystkie oceny będą uśrednione, a każdy dostanie tę samą ocenę, więc nikt nie oblany i nikt nie dostanie 10”.
Po pierwszym teście oceny zostały zsumowane i podzielone przez liczbę studentów, i każdy dostał 8.
Studenci, którzy uczyli się intensywnie, byli zdenerwowani, ale ci, którzy uczyli się mniej, byli zachwyceni.
Gdy zbliżał się drugi test, studenci, którzy wcześniej uczyli się trochę, uczyli się jeszcze mniej, a ci, którzy uczyli się intensywniej, powiedzieli sobie, że oni też chcą „darmowego prezentu”, więc też uczyli się mniej.
Średnia z drugiego testu wyniosła 6.
Gdy przeprowadzono trzeci test, średnia ocena wyniosła 4. Ku wielkiemu zaskoczeniu wszystkich studentów, wszyscy oblali.
Nauczyciel powiedział im, że socjalizm w końcu zawiedzie, ponieważ gdy połowa populacji widzi, że nie musi pracować, bo druga połowa się nimi zajmie, a gdy ta połowa, która pracowała, zdaje sobie sprawę, że nie ma sensu już pracować, bo inni korzystają z ich pracy, to jest koniec każdego narodu.
Ta historia może być bajką, a nie faktem, ale morał jest prawdziwy.

August 2021: Joe Biden throws a White House party to celebrate electric cars.
Invited: GM, Ford, and Stellantis. EVs were 1–2% of their US sales.
Not invited: Tesla. The company that built about 74% of America's EVs. Built here, by American workers.
Asked why, Psaki shrugged: "I'll let you draw your own conclusion."
Elon did.
In 2022 he said he'd always voted Democrat but was done with them. That fall he bought Twitter and opened it back up to everyone.
Democrats had the most famous innovator in the world on their side. They traded him for a photo op with some union boss.
That snub was the beginning of the end. They're still paying for it.

Climate policies have consequences
EU pays 1.9x US prices and 3x China and India
UK has the costliest electricity in the world

The cheap green lie
You are told that solar and wind are cheap
But you need near-100% backup when no sun or wind, paying for two systems
Data for 2025 shows that
cramming in more solar and wind makes electricity overall more and more costly

Toronto residents just re-elected her for mayor.
She raised property taxes by 20% in under 4 years.

My latest: there’s pain at the pump. Some of this is inescapable fallout from conflicts in the Middle East and Russia/Ukraine. But much of it is self-imposed. The clean fuel regulations cost 13.57 cents a litre for diesel and 12.24 cents a litre for gasoline. To add insult to injury, tax is charged on top of these costs. Even worse, to comply with them, refiners must blend in biofuels such as ethanol and biodiesel. Canada is not self-sufficient and imports over half of what it needs, predominantly from the US.
Somehow, in the middle of a trade war and an energy crisis, it has gone unnoticed that Canada — the aspiring energy superpower — has artificially made itself dependent on the United States for fuel.

They will tell you the traffic is impenetrable. That streets are littered with humans and their garbage. That taxes and prices are out of control. Then they elect a Mamdami agenda. Lunatics. Divorced from the reality of the world around them. Playing in their own playpen.
