It’s pretty much a slam dunk that Carney will have a majority after the April 13th by-elections, considering that two of the seats are in very safe Liberal territory. If so, how long will it be until he reverses course on his Conservative Lite approach to governance? Consumer carbon taxes, anyone? How about “Investments” in EVs and high speed rail?
If the Liberals win two of the three byelections, they will hold 173 seats, or 174 seats if they win all three byelections, which would let them pass legislation without needing to rely on the Speaker or on any other parties to support them.
Carneys book Values will give guidance. Early on he states that Alberta will the carry the greatest load to the net zero transition.
Ottawa putting the screws to Alberta, what a stretch that will be!
Canada now has two official languages: English and French
I suggest you learn Mandarin given what’s going on with Carney’s ass kissing of XI Jinping.
Trump won’t let China take over Canada but the Democrats would cheer it on without question.
Next US election 2028. Maybe more important than any Canadian election.
It’s shocking and depressing what the Neo-Marxists have done to Canada in such a short time.
But now Carney can drive full-throttle and bring his Orwellian dream to fruition quick, fast and in a hurry.
Official Shithole Status here we come, Hosers.
“Official Shithole Status here we come, Hosers.”
Bring it on. Can’t come soon enough for me.
Sometimes you just have to rip off that bandaid. We can’t begin to fix Canada until we hit rock bottom and all the IDIOT Liberal/NDP/CPC voters realize what they’ve done.
Dear Canadian friends; You are so much like the State of CA (only with a LOT less budget) … where a supermajority of leftists ensure you will become as communist as any Western nation or State can possibly become.
Trust me, it’s not pretty.
Many a mile to Freedom.

Then together we flow like the river
A few more miles to go
Miles to freedom
If Carney secures his majority, he will have the opportunity to strengthen the Clarity Law making it more difficult for a Province to secede. In fact, he could take the clause requiring a “clear majority vote” and define that as 75% (or higher). He could take the clause “clear will of the people” and define that any way he wanted as it is already very vague. In short, a majority will afford him the opportunity to go full blown authoritarianism.
It’s obvious he’s been treating the issue like the third rail. After the issuance of the stalling measure (Memorandum of Understanding) he hasn’t mentioned the possibility. But, now the stall would no longer be necessary, and a Constitutional Amendment would, also, be necessary for a secession.
Short version: Affix your helmet, you’ll need it.
Well not withstanding the fact that such laws can simply be ignored when the populace refuses to be governed by them, it doesn’t matter. After all, Ukraine simply stated they would no longer be dictated to by Moscow and unilaterally separated.
How’s that going?
Orson ,It has been evident that the Carney government has been largely ignoring the Independence movement in Alberta. My speculation is they have a plan. Recently it came to my attention the Federal Government has the option of using the “Not withstanding” clause. This is what I expect . There is no need to change any existing legislation or legal precedent. The only way out will be unilateral declaration.
Guns may help as well.
Lotsa guns.
Guns, the will to use them and fortitude.
I doubt the #Libranos would be able to legally move the needle representing “a clear majority” past 50% +1
Keep in mind that Newfoundland joined Canada with a 52% vote
Alberta declares independence. Trump (or his successor) immediately recognizes Alberta and offers a mutual defence pact End of story. What’s Carney going to do? Send in the Canadian troops? Cut off Alberta’s federal funding? The most he could is issue some strongly worded letter and maybe get the UN to issue a strongly worded letter.
well, now l know how an entire nation commits hara kiri. slowly. over decades. plunge the sword in and twist very very gradually. many players, much propaganda. except in this case for no apparent reason; we have immense resources in minerals, oil, more fresh water per capita than anyone else, but there it is, a slow, gradual self immolation. with a smile on the face to boot. truly puzzling, nowhere else, we didnt do it via an insane dictator like deutchland, didnt pick a fight with our neighbor. well, an argument maybe. that also is very strange.
perhaps it is this WEF thing in the background orchestrating things. that kind of stuff take decades to unfold. thats kinda weird too, it requires men of like mindedness over generations to pull it off, but they are so clever these globalists. welcome to Canaduh, the test case.
gawd lm glad lm in my 70s; hope l miss the worst of the ‘own nothing and be happy’ but as an above post states marx carnage could be in the position to accelerate things. whats holding that back?
No world leader outside of Canada has as much uninhibited power than a PM with a majority. Canadians? Welcome to a real dictatorship.
I have pretty much concluded that the only play we have left is to shut in the mines, turn off the taps, and stay home. They want net zero so bad, make them live with it.
Agreed. Alberta needs to shut down every pipeline heading east. Why wait….let them start freezing in the dark today!!!
Turn off pipelines? That’s the Liberal government’s job
They don’t want to turn them off. They want every penny they can squeeze out of evryone involved. Doesn’t help their cause if everyone’s sitting at home and not producing anything.
It’s like suing the BIG tobacco companies. Fleece them, and tax the shit out of their DEATH sticks … but don’t BAN them … cause that would end the windfall cash flow into government coffers.
Sin taxes are a SIN. Prohibition was a more honest way to confront the “sin”. Instead … our governments are mining the “sins” for every Loonie they can extract. Yeah … carbon use is a “sin” … which MUST be punished $$$$$. Cigarettes will KILL the users and any “secondhand” co-worker … and Fossil fuels are KILLING the entire planet. But don’t ban them … just tax them … to the DEATHS of the taxpayers.
What pipelines heading east?
PS to Kenji…you will be amused to know that all we Canucks are assigned a SIN number.
Cough!
We need to start an ‘out-of-office’ pool on the projected date of the actual sale of Canada to the CCP.
There’s an old saying. You don’t buy the cow if you’re getting the milk for free.
I wonder if the Bloc realise that their best chance not to be ignored in the next Parliament is to bring this one down.
As I have been saying since the mid-1990’s:
Bienvenue à la République populaire démocratique du Kanada!
The idea of a free and just Canada will end once and for all next Monday . We will be nothing but subjects of the WEF and their headmaster Cardboard Carney . Thank you to all those weak elbows up morons .
Carney.. A fat, bloated fly, surveying his world from atop his massive pile of shit.. Join us Alberta, and bring Saskatchewan with you..
Maybe we should take a card out of the Liberal/NDP playbook and join the Liberal Party.
Maybe go to a few meetings and ask some basic economics questions.
