The country has always been ruled by the political and corporate elites. Apparently ‘Elbows Up’ Canadians like it that way.
And no pictures of bouncy castles were involved, so Saskatoon man gets bail.
Meet The New Governor Same As The Old Governor
National Post- The first Carney spending numbers are out, and they’re as bad Trudeau’s
The Main Estimates suggest that message of restraint fell on deaf ears in Ottawa: total budgeted spending is scheduled to rise 7.75 per cent to $486.9 billion this fiscal year across 130 federal organizations (compared to last year’s Main Estimates). The government will ask Parliament to vote on $222.9 billion of spending measures, a 14 per cent increase on last year’s estimates.
The most egregious spending appears to be on consultants.
Great Success!

…it’s net-zero for Canada, net-infinity for Carney.
The latest scheme involves a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project, a facility that uses batteries to store and release electricity on demand. These systems are typically used for grid stabilization, renewable energy integration, and providing backup power during outages, which are growing increasingly frequent in Green-besotted Canada. It turns out that the Ottawa BESS projects for Fitzroy Harbour and Trail Road, which will generate at most 4 hours supply, are to be built by Evolugen, the Canadian renewable energy platform of—you guessed it—Brookfield Renewable.

These are headaches you don’t need when you’re trying to run a 17-acre farm and managing a seasonal staff of up to 16. The most frustrating part, she says, was trying to get through to somebody on the phone without the system hanging up.

A Die-Hard Liberal Supporter Gets Schooled
Gail Vaz-Oxlade “is a Jamaican-Canadian financial writer and television personality”. She also supported the coronation of Mark Carney after 9 years of complete financial incompetence by Trudeau’s Liberal government, where Carney was a financial advisor for a good portion of it.
With her “esteemed wisdom”, she decided to post this:

The responses to her post are priceless:
“Because it’s a beautiful country with great people who are not my enemy. I’m also not a retard who lives within the media driven perpetual fear cycle.”
“Why haven’t you learned yet that you were used by the Liberals to hate the US?”

National Post: Guilbeault is now back in charge of controlling the internet
Guilbeault will be supervising the implementation of the Online Streaming Act, a 2023 law that enables the feds to impose content controls over much of the Canadian internet.
Tuesday’s cabinet shuffle retained Guilbeault in his pre-election post as minister of Canadian Identity and Culture. The position gives him oversight over the CBC, Parks Canada, the Department of Canadian Heritage and the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, among others.
Article content“Thank you for your confidence, Prime Minister Mark Carney. I look forward to getting to work building a stronger country, based on the values of Canadians,” said Guilbeault in a Tuesday social media post.[…]
The Act also requires streaming services to pay five per cent of their revenues to government-administered media funds.
Within hours of Guilbeault’s reappointment, one of those funds, the Canada Media Fund, publicly welcomed him into the post.

Our Chinese Installed Governor In Ottawa
Sunday, in a televised interview that is sending shockwaves through Washington, Ottawa, and Victoria, British Columbia, FBI Director Kash Patel warned that a new axis of global threat actors—consisting of Chinese Communist Party operatives, Iranian proxies, and Mexican cartel networks—is exploiting Canada’s lax border enforcement, immigration systems, and critical infrastructure in Vancouver to move fentanyl and terror suspects into the United States.

Canola, pork and seafood producers are collateral damage in the brewing trade war between Canada and China. Despite a supposed “anti-discrimination” investigation by China, it is crystal clear that agriculture has been chosen in order to inflict maximum economic pain on Canada.

A Carney Con?
Sun- Elbows up, food prices up — until feds quietly backed down
…the Carney government’s lack of transparency is concerning. On April 10, during the election campaign, Carney briefly paused his campaign to convene a cabinet committee meeting on tariffs. At the time, the move raised eyebrows. Now, it’s clear he was preparing to walk back Ottawa’s retaliatory measures. Yet the public was not informed, at least not openly. No formal announcement was made during the campaign. Voters were left in the dark — arguably to avoid alienating the Elbows Up base.
