    1. Romanian dictator Ceausescu used to send a bill for the bullet to the widows of the dissidents he murdered. Understand where you’re heading to Canada.

    2. Given the absence of any evidence of disease in the flock, is such a suit likely to succeed? I am amazed that Canadians continue to tolerate the abuse their government is handing out.

    1. When I read that quote by Mike Tyson. I realized he must be a well read man. Carl von Clausewitz said something very similar over a hundred years ago, “No campaign plan survives first contact with the enemy”

  6. Blubber Douggie kisses away our billions on his lobbying buddies:

    A major investigation by The Globe and Mail has revealed what the New Blue Party has been warning about all along: the Ontario PCs are controlled by lobbyists and using tax dollars to reward insiders.

    The report shows that Doug Ford’s PC government handed out $1.3 billion through their “Skills Development” slush fund.

    The Auditor General found the money was distributed in a way that was “not fair, transparent, or accountable.”

    Ford’s staff funnelled hundreds of millions of dollars to PC-connected companies, while better-qualified applicants were denied.

    The Globe and Mail found that 28 percent of grant recipients hired lobbyists to lobby the very minister who approved their funding — up sharply from 17 percent when the program began in 2021.

    Many of those lobbyists had close ties to Doug Ford and his campaign team.

    Six lobbying firms run by Ford’s top advisers — including Kory Teneycke’s Rubicon Strategy and Amin Massoudi’s Atlas Strategic Advisors — were tied to $231 million in funding.

    Meanwhile, individuals connected to several of the top-funded organizations donated over $100,000 to the PC Party since Ford took office.

    PC Labour Minister David Piccini is now refusing to release the full list of who got taxpayer money and how applications were ranked.

  7. Here is an article quoting a Briton calling for the British to make things tough for illegal immigrants:

    I am more of a center-right person, but his suggestion makes sense. The British Right is better organized than anything in North America, and I think because of that the British Right could pull it off. Yes in Canads we had the Freedom Convoy, but that was a one off protest. Look at the powerful street demos in Europe. Here there are few demos, but the ones that do take place are small. We have a laughable justice system, but Canadians accept the rising violent crime without protesting. I am thankful that there is a beginning of a small-c conservatism on the internet and YouTube, but so far a viable street-protesting movement has yet to form.

  9. Shaking Up the US Housing Market

    “Pulte’s post included no details or made no arguments on the proposal’s benefits. The idea behind a portable mortgage is that a borrower could transfer their current mortgage rate from one home to another.”
    “Ever since the housing bubble burst in 2008, homebuilders have cut back on their building activity, leading to an undersupply of housing for more than a decade. That has led to escalating home prices as more potential homebuyers compete for scarce inventory.”

    1. FHA adopting the portable mortgage option would greatly reduce the political power of the Federal Reserve Board. That looks like a win win IMO

  10. The Fraser Institute says there’s no real difference between blubber douggie abd turdo la doo.

    “Despite political rhetoric, Ontario Premier Doug Ford and former PM Justin Trudeau recorded similar fiscal results during the seven years they were both in office, particularly on spending increases, deficits, and corporate welfare.

    From 2017 through 2024 — the years both Trudeau and Ford were in office — both the federal and Ontario governments recorded similar fiscal results, including:

    – Per person program spending increased 14% under Trudeau, and 5.6% under Ford.
    – Tax revenues increased 15.2% under Trudeau, and 5.9% under Ford.
    – Trudeau ran deficits all seven years from 2017 to 2024, and Ford ran deficits in six of the seven years.
    – Corporate welfare per person increased 112% under Trudeau, and 65% under Ford.

    At the end of the day, there is only one taxpayer. And given the similarities between Ford and Trudeau, Ontarians paid mightily during the seven years they were both in office.”
