New Dictatorship, Same As The Old Dictatorship
Here is the letter Eva Chipiuk received July 17, 2025. She shared it on her LinkedIn profile. RBC Royal Bank is de-banking a Canadian hero.
EVA is now outside “client risk appetite.”
Who is EVA?
Well here she is cross examining former Prime Minister Trudeau in the Public Order Commission. The POC came out of the Emergency Act which debanked Canadians for donating to the trucker convoy.

Blacklocks: Housing starts will fall this year, CMHC forecasters said yesterday. Cabinet was counting on builders doubling the number of housing starts to meet its affordability target: “New construction is slowing.”

Those procurement contracts don’t write themselves. It takes time for Carney insiders to set up their phony baloney numbered companies.

Justin Trudeau made promises on NORAD modernization and nothing was done. Mark Carney continues to make more promises.

Things You’re Gonna See At The CBC
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation quietly handed out $37.7 million in pay raises during the 2024–25 fiscal year — the largest single-year salary hike in the Crown corporation’s history — just months after claiming it would scrap controversial bonuses, according to new access-to-information records obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

@RealAndyLeeShow – The federal government is still giving our money to Veritaaq in 2025 even though I can’t find their “offices” and they are under RCMP investigation for fraud.

They promised us fancy costumes and exotic restaurants and all we got was this lousy Public Safety Minister.
One basic prerequisite for becoming public safety minister should be a lack of perceived conflicts of interest with terror organizations. Heck, it should be a requirement for candidacy as an MP, long before cabinet enters the conversation.
But no such requirement formally exists, which is why we have Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree, who remains in his office despite recusing himself from all files involving two Tamil terrorist groups, and who, Canadians learned Tuesday, wrote letters of support to assist a former Tamil Tiger member’s immigration efforts.
Unemployment Enjoyment
Elbows up? Oh, wait…scratch that….
Four of the five highest unemployment rates in the country are in this region, with Windsor leading the way at 11.2 per cent.
The auto city is followed by Peterborough at 10 per cent, Oshawa at 9.3 and Toronto at 8.7. Canadian manufacturing has shed nearly 45,000 jobs since January — the largest employment decline of any sector — and these regions make up almost a quarter of that workforce, said Battaglia.

In the US, facing years of hard time if caught — or just outside the border in Canada, with the expectation of early release from our revolving door justice system?
Do Tell
Sorry to say, my Liberal friends, but when Donald Trump’s air force has to rescue us over a major Canadian city, because our own Air Force doesn’t really work, that’s about as 51st state-ish as it gets.#ElbowsUp https://t.co/apwlhc5wbq

Cognitive Chaos
I’m having trouble following Carney’s logic here. I thought Orange Man was bad for hiking tariffs, and here we are doing exactly the same thing. As far as I can tell, these tariffs don’t apply to the US but to a host of countries that presumably we were supposed to establish new relationships with in order to offset the trouble we have with the US. Can someone tell me what in blazes is going on?
A 50% tariff will apply to imports from these countries that surpass the 2024 volumes, though Canada will honor existing arrangements with its United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement trade partners, Carney said.
Canada will implement additional tariffs of 25% on steel imports from all countries containing steel melted and poured in China before the end of July.
Related, from Kate: I’m old enough to remember Carney asking when was the last time you bought steel. Boy genius eh.
How Are Those Elbows Holding Up?

"And the reality is that our tariffs are higher today than they were on election day."

Say what you want about Carney, but he seems to be better at evading those $100 fines than the last guy.
In a scathing statement this week, Democracy Watch urged Carney to fully divest his shares and stock options, arguing that Ottawa’s purported “screen” — which relies on Carney’s chosen staff to supposedly shield the prime minister from conflicted business decisions — actually “allows him to participate in, and hides his participation in, almost all decisions that affect his investments.”
“PM Carney’s so-called ‘blind’ trust isn’t blind at all,” the watchdog said. “He knows exactly what he put in, he chose his own trustee, can instruct them not to sell, and can receive updates at any time. On top of that, he owns stock options in Brookfield that he can’t sell for years, guaranteeing he stays tethered to these corporate interests.”
Democracy Watch cited the landmark 1987 Parker Commission on conflicts of interest, which concluded that top public officials must sell all investments outright and that blind trusts should be banned as ineffective “shams.”

An internal ArriveCan investigators’ report long sought by MPs has been sealed by Federal Court order. A judge blocked distribution of the findings at the request of Cameron MacDonald, a former Canada Border Services Agency director briefly suspended over the $63 million program: “The allegations each side makes against the other are most serious.”
