Blacklock’s- Poverty Rate Up Again: Feds
The national poverty rate is up again for a fourth consecutive year to 10.2 percent, Statistics Canada said yesterday. The rate was even higher, as much as 10.9 percent, using new calculations to be introduced this year.
What a trainwreck of an opinion piece:
So when I say that Carney may have won, but Canada’s federal elections should make us all worried, that is no exaggeration. And even though he has developed a reputation as the guy you want around when there’s a crisis (Carney was the Bank of Canada’s governor from 2008 to 2013 and was praised for helping get Canada through the 2008 financial crisis, and became governor of the Bank of England from 2013 to 2020, where he was again pivotal in managing the economic fallout from Brexit), he still has the provincial governments to contend with on major issues such as healthcare and housing, as well as a volatile White House managing the affairs of our southern neighbours.
Carney said definitively last month that the old relationship Canada had with the United States is over, and that Canada would “need to dramatically reduce our reliance on the United States” and “pivot our trade relationships elsewhere”, doing “things previously thought impossible at speeds we haven’t seen in generations”.
This woke race grifter is billed as a “US columnist”.
Blacklock’s- No Embarrassment, Tam Told
Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam and dozens of other pandemic managers were required to sign a secret oath promising never to divulge information that “may result in embarrassment” for cabinet, Access To Information records show. “Quite a few” were required to sign the pledge, said a newly-released federal memo.
Cabinet to date has declined to have a public inquiry into pandemic mismanagement. The health department in a 2023 memo said it completed more than 20 internal audits that “revealed critical weaknesses and gaps” but would not release them.
National Post- Mark Carney’s election win already has economists worried
Canada was already headed into a recession. Then, on Tuesday, Fitch Ratings warned that Carney’s deficit plan could harm our credit rating
Fitch had already priced in federal government deficits for 2025 and 2026, amounting to 2.6 per cent and 2.4 per cent of Canada’s GDP, respectively. Factoring in the Carney platform, though, resulted in even worse figures: the 2025 deficit is now slated to be 3.1 per cent of GDP, growing to 3.2 per cent in 2026.

Sun- Carney betting we can spend ourselves rich
Carney intends to increase government spending by $130 billion over the next four years, in the wake of the previous Liberal government headed by Justin Trudeau, which overshot its deficit target for the 2023-24 fiscal year of $40.1 billion by 54%, coming in at $61.9 billion.
The smug, chicken dancing, elbows up Lieberal voters were so self-satisfied on election day. Being the NPC sheeple that they are, they are not capable of anything beyond first stage thinking. Every action has a reaction. Now we’ll see if the people of Alberta are finally fed up enough to move beyond the destructive clutches of the Laurentian elite.
Since the media in Canada is owned and controlled by the Liberal Party, let’s look at one view from outside the country. Is Trump to blame? There is also the question of Carney’s business dealings with the Trump family.
Daniela Liscio is a Canadian lawyer who left Canada but still wants the best for her homeland and her fellow Canadians. In this brilliant post, she goes through some uncomfortable truths that many Canadians likely won’t want to hear, but must:
It is impossible to articulate the Canadian identity without referencing its adherence to its moral superiority.
Canadians believe they are an evolved society with a relatively peaceful existence because of their compassion, tolerance and virtue. In keeping with this identity of higher society, they are more likely to adhere to the belief in a single defined “public good” that apparently only a few (incompetent) bureaucrats at the top can define.
It’s why Canadians were more inclined to blindly follow pandemic restrictions …
… or believe that it was OK for Trudeau to invoke the Emergencies Act against the truckers protesting their subjugation of bodily autonomy …
… or give in to a politician telling them to open their hearts — and wallets — without question.We Canadians are bred to show off our moral virtue especially compared to those gun-slinging racists to the South. We are taught to believe that our social safety net is stronger — and that’s the reason we have a kinder, gentler population that doesn’t get kids shot up in schools.
Ms. Liscio isn’t the only one who has noticed that something has gone very, very wrong in Canada. Simply put, why do so many Canadians hate Donald Trump specifically and Americans generally, than love their own country or future?!? Gad Saad coined the term “empathetic suicide”. This surely describes what just happened in Canada. Here’s his post from last night.
Alberta exported over $161B worth of products to the US in 2024.
Alberta and Ontario had $15.5B in two way trade in 2022
Saskatchewan exported $29B worth of products and commodities to the US in 2023
No clear data available for Saskatchewan trade numbers with Ontario, but suffice to say trade with the US exceeds trade within Canada.
British Columbia has 19 border crossings with the United States, Alberta has 6, Saskatchewan has 12, and Manitoba has 16. There is just 1 narrow 2 lane road through 1,000 miles of wilderness connecting all of Western Canada with Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic provinces, yet the East rules the lives of Western Canada?
Ontario and Quebec won’t buy oil from Western Canada, preferring to buy from the US, or Saudi Arabia. Even Russian oil is preferred to Canadian oil.
Ottawa will not allow Western Canada to export LNG to other countries, forcing Europe to rely on Russian LNG.
The Liberal government won’t even fight the 100% tariff on Canadian canola.
The only thing Eastern Canada wants from the West are tax dollars which they give to provinces dealing with insolvency.
So why do we stay? What advantage is it to stay part of a government that hobbles us at every level? It’s time Western Canada breaks free from the Stockholm Syndrome that has held us back for over a century. I don’t know exactly what that will look like, but I do know it will be better than what we have now.
Special thanks to Quebec for paving the way forward.
…they’re building a database of churches, synagogues, mosques, and temples — tracking which ones are “affirming” enough.
A government-funded religious registry.

Meanwhile in Britain.
I've been ambivalent about the election results. The next few years of Trump's pounding is better taken by the Liberals and the provinces who voted for it. https://t.co/ZKrHLCPG5H

Guys. This is absolutely 🤌 😘. I walked behind the Carney rally in Edmonton, to show you how gross this brand new neighborhood is. Mayor Amarjeet Sohi keeps up his Lib campaign office like he does the whole of Edmonton. Disgusting. Zero sense of civic pride. pic.twitter.com/W2Ww4mC4iX
