  1. The same party that imposed the tax, are the ones that removed it, to great fanfare.
    Canadians have short memories and love to be bribed with their own money!
    Just wait until they find out there are no more rebate cheques after this April, they will be begging to have the tax back!

    1. I think the rebate cheques will be revived if the Marxists retain power. Under the guise of UBI.

      1. Of course they will. UBI ensures that government has complete control of everyone, everywhere. Absolute control of all indivuals is the final goal and intention of all socialists: either Marxist or Nationalist varieties.

  2. Remember, this all started because the critically important Carbon Tax that Trudeau championed suddenly had a exemption for Liberal friendly Maritimers.

    1. Yes and don’t forget what Justin Turdeau said repeatedly when announcing the wonderful program for all the good people in the maritimes: “You will receive a free heat pump at no cost to you, for every family in the maritimes. I repeat ,absolutely free at no cost to you a $10,000 heat pump system, at no cost to you ,everything free “

    “THE TARIFF TANTRUM: TRUMP, CHINA, AND THE GREAT WESTERN FACEPLANT

    Let’s talk tariffs. Let’s talk Trump. Let’s talk China. And let’s especially talk about how the West—meaning the U.S. and Europe—basically sold their soul for a cheap Barbie doll and a 50-pack of socks for $3.99.

    So, here we are. 2025. Trump drops a tariff bombshell that sets global markets on fire, freaks out half of Wall Street, makes mainstream economists reach for their Xanax, and sends investors running for the hills like it’s Y2K with Chinese subtitles. The man calls it a “declaration of economic independence.” Meanwhile, the media calls it economic suicide. And what do I call it?

    Honestly? About damn time. But also… way, way too late.

    Let’s rewind.

    WHEN BARBIE WAS MADE IN TAIWAN AND DOC MARTENS DIDN’T LEAK

    I remember my first Barbie. She was made in Taiwan. She had class, you know? The real deal. Back then, she smelled like plastic, feminism, and the Cold War. Then fast-forward a few years—she’s made in China, and suddenly Barbie’s leg pops off if you bend it too fast. Girl went from Olympic gymnast to Dollar Store meth addict real quick.

    Same with Doc Martens. I had a pair made in the UK—indestructible. You could stomp through snow, mud, and a minor apocalypse and your socks would stay dry and your soul would stay punk. Now? They’re made in China and they start crying the second it drizzles. Honestly, they’re more emotionally fragile than a Twitter activist in 2020.

    This is what the West did. We gave away our industries for cheap thrills. And now everyone’s crying because Trump dares to slap tariffs on the mess we created?

    NEWSFLASH: CHINA DIDN’T STEAL ANYTHING—WE GAVE IT AWAY WITH A THANK YOU CARD

    You know what’s funny? Everyone’s acting like China “outsmarted” us. That they played 4D chess while we were busy doing TikTok dances. No, no. They didn’t have to be smart. We just had to be stupid.

    And we were.

    Western companies were so high on cheap labor and profit margins, they practically ran to China with our blueprints, our technology, and our pants around our ankles. “Here! Take our factories! Take our intellectual property! Just let us keep the logo and sell it back for 10x the price!”

    Meanwhile, China’s like, “Thanks, suckers!” They played the long game: learned the tricks, built their own companies, created entire cities in a week, and now they own everything from your toaster to your freaking antibiotics. We basically took our entire industrial base, gift-wrapped it, and handed it to a country that calls us the enemy with a straight face.

    And now we’re surprised we’re neck-deep in dependence? Give me a break.

    TRUMP: THE ONLY GUY IN THE ROOM WHO REMEMBERS 1987

    Say what you want about Trump (and oh, they do), but at least he’s been consistent. Since the damn Reagan era, he’s been screaming about tariffs, about foreign countries eating America’s lunch while we ask for seconds and say thank you. He literally took out newspaper ads to rant about it while most politicians were still trying to figure out how to spell “globalization.”

    Now, decades later, he’s president again and he’s doing what he said he’d do. And people are acting shocked. What the hell did you expect? That he was just trolling? This is the one thing the man actually believes in. Tariffs are his religion. They’re his CrossFit. They’re his soulmate.

    And let’s be honest: it’s kind of nice to see a politician doing what they said they’d do, even if it sets the global economy on fire and makes economists cry in their kombucha.

    ECONOMISTS ARE MAD—WHICH USUALLY MEANS SOMETHING’S WORKING

    Of course, all the “experts” are losing their minds. Economists are screaming bloody murder, clutching their pearls like someone suggested we go back to using rotary phones and spanking children.

    “Trump’s tariffs will raise costs for American families!” they cry. Yeah? So did your student loans, Karen. Also—newsflash—cheap stuff isn’t really that cheap if you lose your job because the factory moved to Guangzhou.

    They say it’s the biggest tax hike in history. Well, maybe if we stopped building bridges in countries that hate us and funding pet research projects like “Why Do Left-Handed Lesbian Turtles Get Sunburnt Faster?” we wouldn’t need so much tax revenue, hmm?

    PEOPLE WANT JOBS, BUT THEY ALSO WANT $5 SWEATERS AND SAME-DAY SHIPPING

    Here’s the real problem: We want American jobs… but we also want $7 toasters delivered tomorrow. We want dignity and independence and national pride, but we also want five pairs of leggings from Shein for under ten bucks. Well, sorry sweetheart, you can’t have both. You want self-sufficiency? You gotta pay for it. That’s how the grown-up world works.

    Tariffs are a wake-up call. A cold shower. A slap in the face with a made-in-China flyswatter. They’re the price of undoing 40 years of idiotic policy. They’re not pretty, they’re not easy, but they’re probably necessary.

    Is it gonna hurt? Yes. Will people complain? Absolutely. Will they still keep buying from Amazon anyway? Most likely. But sometimes the pain is the point. Sometimes the bandaid has to come off with a scream.

    YOU CAN’T OUTSOURCE YOUR WAY TO GREATNESS

    The truth is, the West thought it could cheat the system. Outsource the work, keep the profit. Get cheap goods, avoid the mess. Keep your hands clean, let China do the dirty work.

    But the system doesn’t work that way. You can’t farm out your backbone and expect to stand tall.

    Now we have to pay the price for decades of laziness. Rebuilding industries takes time, talent, and money. And we’re short on all three. Our workforce has been deskilled. Our youth are too busy making TikToks and having anxiety attacks about climate change to work a lathe. Our factories are yoga studios now.

    And don’t even get me started on Europe. They’re basically sitting in a Parisian café sipping oat milk lattes, wondering why they don’t make anything anymore and blaming America while buying Chinese solar panels.

    THE BIG QUESTION: WHAT BREAKS FIRST?

    So here’s the deal. We either suck it up, take the hit, pay more, and slowly rebuild the damn machine— Or we keep pretending we can live on a diet of cheap imports and wishful thinking.

    The question is: What breaks first? Our addiction to cheap crap? Or the last illusion that we can keep outsourcing forever without turning into a glorified Dollar Tree?

    I’m not saying Trump is the Messiah. I’m not saying tariffs will fix everything overnight. But I am saying this: the West did this to itself. We traded jobs for junk. We outsourced our power. We thought we were being smart. Turns out we were being cheap.

    Now, someone’s finally flipping the table. And yeah, it’s loud. It’s messy. It’s scary. But maybe that’s what happens when you try to undo 40 years of selling yourself short.

    And if nothing else, maybe—just maybe—your next pair of boots won’t cry in the rain.

    Meanwhile, somewhere in Brussels, someone just fainted.

    2. chirer is the only hugely major manufacturer that consistently would cut corners, make a widget cheaper and cheaper and cut corners to the point the widget . . . . . no longer functioned. l realized this examining a flashlite, the inner workings so so so flimsy the contact points with the battery were loose and the lite stuttered. brand new off the shelf and st- st- st- stut- stut- stutter away it did.that was quite some time ago.
      these people cant build bridges and apartment buildings that dont fall *under their own weight*.

  4. Nice rant. Pretty accurate too. But, blaming ourselves for ou predicament rather thsn the Chinese is going to upset the patriots among us; I bet you’ll get limited attention for your troubles.

  5. The ruling elites will need to be wiped out financially. The Trudeaus, Bronfmans, Clintons, Bush’s etc. They have ZERO skills, knowledge or capabilities. We need hard industrial skills, serious business acumen, production. Not PowerPoints and spreadsheets. We need robotics, accountants (not tax consultants, I mean, that should clue you in to the real issue, that that is even a thing), engineers (not lesbian joggers calling themselves engineers, no, we need the Wright Brothers level guys).

    I’m sorry, you used to make 300k a year, as a diversity “thought leader”? F**k you, you now drive a truck for 60k a year or you starve. Your choice.

    People, this is a revolution, nothing less. We could have done it with death squads and gulags. We chose to do it with forex and tariffs instead. It may fail (and if it does, the West is over) but it is our only play left.

    To anyone who can step into the breach, and build the businesses we need to have a REAL economy again, … you are going to clean up while the naysayers and babies cry and scream in the background, my dudes.

  6. there is no media emphasis on direct links to the carbon taxes levied relating that to drops in the other kind of carbon in the atmosphere. where are the stats? where is the analysis, the convincing cause and effect? where? ?????

    1. It’s not just the media. The scientific and technical literature produced by the IPCC for the last two decades has failed to present any evidence of any kind that reducing CO2 emissons will have any detectible effect on the environment. The stats, analysis, logic that you are rightly demanding simply do not exist anywhere. The evidence that CO2 increases temperature is exclusively based on modeling, not empirical evidence or observation.

      And at no global warming conference has there ever been a demand for any such evidence that you are requesting ever been produced, anywhere, anytime. So, based on that shortage, if you want to argue that AGW is a fraud, you would be correct.

  7. It was inevitable that Global would do this. This is a network looking at complete collapse and shutdown with the impending bankruptcy of its parent company Corus Entertainment. Global likely is hoping desperately that they will get a CBC-style bailout from the feds. Otherwise, Global will be turning dark whenever it can’t service its long term debt.

    1. Global is already on the take same as CTV-Bell. Think of it as UBI for journalists. Without that they go tits up in a week or two, yeah they’re in for their lives.

  8. Am I wrong about this? Mark Carney was instrumental in the creation of the Net Zero Banking Alliance. The fundamental basis of its formation was to disallow loans to those companies mining fossil fuels. This alliance included a number of US Banks, UK Banks, Canadian Banks etc. However, as of last year, they all bailed on the program for a number of reasons. Some say it’s because they violated their fiduciary duty to their investors by making investment decisions based on political views. Others say that the election of Trump and the potential for increased drilling projects created too good of an opportunity to improve portfolios. Whatever the reason, most of the members of the Net Zero Alliance have bailed.

    So, how exactly can you justify rewarding Carney for lowered fuel prices, when it was his direct involvement that had them increased previously in the first place? And, he did so very purposefully. My understanding is that he was pushing “Net Zero by 2040”, while the world still relies on fossil fuels for 82% of our everyday lives….without a valid replacement.

    The more I read about Carney, the more unserious he seems. He’s a zealot.

    1. The reason why they all left is because they don’t want any exposure to RICO liability that could be measured into the Trillions. Carney also gave a 2 hour long deposition, which has not been released to the public.

  9. Life is weird when the guy who raised the price of gas $0.18 lowers it $0.15 and becomes a hero.

  10. I posted this info on another forum and got way more downvotes than I expected. Some people don’t like knowing they have been duped.

    “Here’s another example of how the Liberals keep duping voters and locally, it’s Mona Fortier leading the charge. She is using the reduced gas prices as a campaign point and claiming that “We’re putting more money back in Canadians’ pockets”, which is the same thing she said in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 to promote the carbon tax. So, more money in your pocket with the carbon tax and more money in your pocket without the carbon tax. “

    2. Putting more money back in your pocket- I am old enough to remember when they eliminated the GST – but apparently a lot of people have forgotten.

  11. Liberals.. I had 3 of them at my door today.. Asking me if I planned on voting Liberal.. I was nice and said maybe, put your flyer in my mailbox.. My wife caught wind of this and ordered up a PC lawn sign ASAP!..

    Such fun.. I just hope it isn’t over before it crosses the Ontario Quebec border.. Like last time.. How is that a national election..
