I can only assume Andrew is talking about the Liberal’s refusal to accept a court ruling….

It was 55 years ago this month that Pierre Elliot Trudeau invoked martial law in Canada to deal with the kidnapping of Pierre Laporte. Laporte was later murdered by the terrorist group the FLQ. Several  members of the FLQ got only 2 years for their part in the kiddnapping and murder, some got more, while others were flown to Cuba. They would have gotten much more prison time had they been charged with mischief instead of kidnapping and murder…

Canada to avoid recession in 2025; economist predicts ‘firehose of monetary and fiscal policy support’ https://t.co/0j2aZsF08X

 

“After a steep decline, we’re coming back a little bit,” Desjardins told Yahoo Finance Canada in an interview. “We’re in this period of slow growth, just treading water.”…

“While not an economic rebound to write home about, it does suggest that a 2025 recession in Canada isn’t a foregone conclusion,” he wrote in a report earlier this month. “The Canadian economy isn’t out of the woods yet.”

The federal government is due to release its fall budget in November. Prime Minister Mark Carney has said it will feature “the biggest investment in this country’s future in a generation.”

“A leak from a senior official [suggests] that the Government of Canada’s deficit could reach $100 billion this year when the long‑overdue federal budget is released on November 4,” Bartlett wrote.

Maybe it’s tent sales that will bring Canada out of this recession?

Charlie Kirk Shot

Democrats Freespeechers New Right Media 58 Comments

Just The News is now reporting that Charlie Kirk confirmed dead, according to multiple government officials.

I’m taking the rest of the day off, sorry.

Earlier reports follow.
**********************

Updates, from Kate;

Video of alleged shooter. Update: Wrong suspect? New (unconfirmed) reports are the shooter hasn’t been located.

Daily Wire on X is probably the best source for updates.

Having just watched another angle of the shooting, I think it unlikely Charlie has survived this. That’s your warning before you view it.

Enemies of the People never let us down.

Glen Beck has the same information.

Might I suggest Mark J Carney take some advise about temporary foreign workers from his old boss?  He might learn a thing or two…

“Evidence began to accumulate that many temporary foreign workers were being hired for entry-level jobs that unemployed or underemployed Canadians might be doing, in sectors from fast-food to retail, sometimes even in regions of high unemployment. Jason Kenney, then minister of immigration, pointed out that this was surely driving down the wages of lower-income Canadians – and despite the demands of some employers, lower market wages should not be an objective of government policy.” – Globe & Mail, Aug 28th 2016

Basic Dictatorship Canada’s Bolsheviks Russiagate Trump 46 Comments

Andrew Coyne has completely lost it…

By now it should be clear that the subjection of the United States to the dictatorship of Donald Trump is no longer a theoretical possibility or even a distant probability. It is an imminent reality.

It is not here, quite – critics of the President remain at large, the courts are still attempting to enforce the rule of law, the results of the 2026 and 2028 elections have not yet been determined – but the pieces are being put in place at astonishing speed.

To call what is happening a “slide” into authoritarianism, as if it were something anarchic and uncontrolled, would not be apt. It is more like a cementing. Having slipped back into power by the narrowest of margins, Mr. Trump and his acolytes have been steadily expanding from that beachhead, each new power serving as the means to acquire still more.

Often these powers have been acquired illegally, in brazen defiance of the Constitution. But so long as no one holds them to account for it, and so long as the administration refuses to be held to account, they become ratified by convention, or practice, or sheer nerve, the de facto rapidly congealing into the de jure.

…or maybe Andrew is bitter because Conservatives fired his father…

Gord Magill talks about the recent illegal U-turn in Florida that killed 3 people.

I don’t think the general public realizes just how stringently the trucking industry can be governed”.

Truckers get tickets for not having their Schedule 1  – a document listing items to check during vehicle inspections – with in arms reach of the driver while seated in the driver’s seat. It’s also illegal to read it while driving. This law also applies to Transportation of Dangerous Goods handbooks. Having the documents in you truck and being in compliance is not enough, you must also have it beside you at all times. Tickets start at $300. Forgetting to sign a bill of lading is another big ticket and the in the US they tear up your oversize permit, put you out of service and issue enormous fines if you make the mistake of signing your oversize permit in black ink instead of blue, as  all legal documents must be signed in a contrasting colour of ink from the document. Yes, it is that ridiculous. However…

If you are not fluent in english, have multiple violations and show little or no competence behind the wheel all is forgive. The trucking industry in North America has become the biggest victim of the 2 things all governments love: Revenue and virtue signalling.

Gord Magil has been all over the media talking about this tragedy and what caused it. Check Gord calling out everyone responsible. He takes no prisoners.

That’s a good question, because, does anyone remember the Coutts Nine? Does anyone even know who or what the Coutts Nine are? We should, given that they were arrested along with four other men who were charged with conspiracy to murder police at the COVID 19 mandate protest in the town of Coutts, Alberta. A protest that coincided with Freedom Convoy protest in Ottawa that took place in the winter of 2022. Those four men came to be known as the Coutts Four, and while conspiracy charges were not laid against the Coutts Nine, it was implied, at the time of their arrests, by the RCMP and the government and the media, that they were involved in that plot. To that end they were all charged with mischief and weapons possession offences, and we have heard little of their fate since.

Today Gord Magill interviews Humboldt Saskatchewan trucker and Canadian trucking legend, Kim Wylie. Kim became known for this viral video he made after the Humboldt tragedy.

Voice Of GO(r)D is honored to bring you Mr Kim Wylie, a veteran trucker from Humboldt, Saskatchewan (yes, that Humboldt) who, like myself, is doing what he can to raise alarm bells about the state of the industry, and offer policy solutions to improve life for all of us out on the road. Working with friend and former guest of the show, Trent Lalonde, Kim is highlighting issues with training and licensure of truckers, and despite difficulty in getting policy makers in Saskatchewan to listen, seem to be making headway next door in Alberta, where discussions of recognizing truckers with trade certification are happening in earnest.

2025 Federal Election Little Known Facts We Are All Treaty People 36 Comments

With the talk of secession since Monday it is of course inevitable that everyone is going want to have a say. What is also inevitable is that many of the opinions expressed will be ill informed.

You would think with treaty acknowledgements being in vogue that there would also be an effort to teach what is written in the treaties, but there isn’t. So let’s do it here.

Please take the time to read a few treaties in their entirety as they also list what First Nations receive in exchange for the peaceful surrender of territory; you see there are no limits on education or healthcare. Also remember that while seemingly well intentioned, the government of Canada did not serve the First Nations well.  In some cases the provinces were even worse.

Another very interesting treaty is the Jay Treaty of 1794 that permits indigenous people to move freely across North America, living, working or going to school where they chose with all the rights of their chosen country, state or province, with the exception of voting rights which are reserved solely for citizens.

Western Canada Secession: Why Does the West stay in Canada?

#WalkAway 2025 Federal Election Canada’s Bolsheviks The Deplorables The Libranos 73 Comments

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.

Gord Magill takes an in depth look at the problems that lead up to the recent crash on I-35 in Austin Texas, killing 5 people.

Recently, a horrific collision took place along Interstate 35 in Austin, Texas, where a commercial transport traveling at high speed crashed into a number of stopped vehicles along a stretch of the interstate that was under construction. 5 people were killed, including an infant and very young child, and another eleven people were sent to hospital, many with critical injuries. It turns out that the driver of the truck, a gentleman by the name of Solomun Weldekeal Araya, was a very recent migrant from Ethiopia that only had his commercial drivers license a scant four months.
