  1. The country is screwed.
    A Prime Minister with less than 30% of the vote destroying the country.
    Claims to have a mandate, no push back from the bought off press.
    I smell a Soros in the backgound.
    The whole cabinet need to be arrested and charged with Crimes Against Humanity.
    Enough of the madness.

    1. Bob, I’ve said this before in other threads over the years, but I can foresee Junior getting fewer seats than a rival party, and STILL be in complete control of the executive as PM, propped up by the rest of the parties.

      All mainstream parties seem to be content to stick with the appalling status quo. The Official Opposition is opposing nothing of substance.

      Your suspicions are correct, there is something larger and more malevolent behind the curtain in control of these puppets.

  2. I know of 2 couples and numerous single people in the GTA who have lived their entire adult lives “bouncing” on debt and probably think (I don’t know for sure) that I am the idiot for living within my means and on a budget. Because they all have at least 5 lines of credit, they have lived very “successful” (at least on the surface) lives. Beautiful homes, sailboats, 4 vacations a year (2 ski vacations in out of country locales). To them, it is perfectly normal for the government to live on borrowed or non-existent money, because they have done so since 1980. They all have to work until 75 in order to keep all the balls in the air.

    I think most of the Canadian population lives like this and so do not mind that the federal government does the same. Just my humble opinion.

    1. I know of a few people like that myself. I was the idiot for saving and investing my money rather than riotously living high on the hog, and doing so in front of everybody else like they did.

      That’s why I could afford to quit my teaching job at Armpit College nearly 20 years ago. I looked at my investment portfolio one day, saw that I had reached a minimum net worth, and decided that I could make a go of it myself and that staying at that nut farm wasn’t worth the hassle.

      There wasn’t much money for luxuries, but I was able to live off those investments and pay my rent and buy my groceries.

  3. Porkie‘, if you don’t know, is short for ‘porkie pie‘ (as in “oh oh…someone’s sellin porkie pies!“, which is Cockney slang for a lie, especially a blatant one.
    It’s not ‘piggies at the trough’, though that definition is certainly apropos as well.

    1. Pork Pie, as I was taught. My dad spoke fluent cockney and made sure I did too, much to my mother’s dismay.

      Standard pattern for rhyming slang is to use two (or more) words to make the rhyme, then omit the rhyming part in normal speech, thereby making it difficult to understand for any non-cockney.

  4. I’m surprised this gets so much attention when there is no mention of how both the house and Senate unanimously decided to shred any pretense of religious freedom and parental interest in their children’s lives without bothering to talk to Canadians about it first.

    I mean none is supposed government is going to spend money it doesn’t have. It’s practically part of the job description. But in theory before criminalizing parents and pastors there should be some discussion?

  5. It’s easier to rule a discouraged nation than lead a vibrant, resourceful and inquisitive one. It’s about them, the antithesis of liberty.
    That’s what has to be torn down, that incompetent arrogance, wrong time after time, on big issues, ignoring collateral damage to society.
    They sent their nations on collectivist guilt trips over vaccine mandates, anti-vaxxers now held in prison camps; and they were all wrong.
    We take vaccines to protect ourselves and decide for our children. Look Ma, natural rights. I guess that was the problem all along.
    Is it 6 feet, or 12, or 3? Masks bad, masks good, masks forever. Failing at Science 101 – ON PURPOSE – to keep us deathly afraid.
    Clamouring to be led to safety by the keystone cops who drop every file handed them, except those that outline their new powers.
    Citizens are victims of their oblivious ignorance, which they think is bliss. When it hits hard while elites feast further, will it be too late?
    Are we there now but just don’t know it? I doubt it; time will tell. Another election or two will cement collectivism, the new liberalism.
