Good luck with that.

@GasPriceWizard, back on April 12th: I took this video of the excess and unsold Brightdrop EV vans a month ago to predict its demise thanks to Liberal NetZero hubris and folly

Dispatches from the Maple Gulag

Tyrants have always found the Magna Carta to be reckless…

Pierre Poilievre is by no means the first person to raise concerns about RCMP covering up of Trudeau/Liberal scandals.  And it’s not like there is a lack of evidence to take to trial.

But hey, we did get an apology….

SNAFU

Peter Menzies- Masterfully manipulated media willingly succumb to the PMO’s seduction

The Prime Minister departed the country unaccompanied by even a single representative of the nation’s press. Upon his return, neither Carney nor any “officials” held a news conference to explain what took place. Instead, targeted media got fed what could be (I’ll use the polite term) pure fantasy. Two of Canada’s leading news organizations, apparently confusing themselves with stenographers, then – and without noting any attempts whatsoever at verification – dutifully passed it all along to their readers on …. faith.

More on the Stellantis Departure from Canada

Here’s an interesting video on Stellantis leaving Brampton, Ontario:

Big news out of Ontario, as carmaker Stellantis (Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep) announced it’s moving production at its Brampton, Ontario plant to the United States.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is of course blaming Donald Trump’s trade policies for the move. But wasn’t it Carney who promised that he would be able to quickly negotiate a good trade deal for Canada if Canadians elected him PM?

And don’t forget how Carney has recently started touting that Canada already has the “BEST” trade deal with the US (auto workers in Brampton would probably beg to differ today…).

Predictably, Ontario Premier Doug Ford is lashing out, denouncing Trump as a “TYRANT” while demanding that Carney hit the Americans back.

Is this the smartest strategy for Canada? How are other countries seemingly managing to negotiate trade deals with the US while Canadians are left waiting?

And all this is happening as the Canadian and Ontario governments have collectively pledged $52.5 BILLION tax dollars to auto makers for electric vehicles and battery plants – despite consumers seemingly not wanting to buy EVs!

Joining Mark today to discuss is political commentator and business owner Mario Zelaya.

Mark and Mario also talk about a rumour that the Liberals are preparing to back away from their gun seizure plans. Could that actually happen, or is this just wishful thinking?

What We Say And What We Do

Are two very different things.

Blacklock’s- Not My Job, Minister Testifies

Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree confirms cabinet has yet to fulfill an April election promise to hire more police and border guards. “I’m not responsible for the hiring,” he told the Commons public safety committee.

The Liberal Party in its re-election platform Canada Strong promised “1,000 new Canada Border Services Agency officers to crack down on drugs” and “1,000 more RCMP personnel to tackle drug and human trafficking.” The promise was reannounced April 10, April 28, June 3 and August 12.

He Admires His Basic Dictatorship

Juno News;

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s plan to let the Canada Revenue Agency automatically file millions of Canadians’ tax returns is facing backlash from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, which says the month-long consultation preceding the rollout was a “sham” designed to rubber-stamp a power grab by bureaucrats.

The CRA’s consultation ran for only one month, from September 9 to October 9, ending just a day before Carney’s announcement on Friday. The consultation sought online feedback from individuals and organizations about expanding “automatic tax filing” services.

The government says the program, starting in 2026, will help up to 5.5 million low-income Canadians receive benefits they’re missing, such as the GST/HST credit and Canada Child Benefit.

Critics, however, say Ottawa’s timeline shows the outcome was pre-determined.

“Carney plans to give CRA more power with automatic tax filing,” said Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s Federal Director Franco Terrazzano. “Trusting the taxman to do your return is like trusting your dog to protect your burger. CRA acting as both tax filer and tax collector is a serious conflict of interest.”

Terrazzano mocked the idea that meaningful input was possible within hours of the consultation closing. “There’s no way bureaucrats pulled an all-nighter reading through thousands of submissions before sending Carney out to make an announcement the next morning,” he said. “Asking Canadians for their opinion and then ignoring them isn’t a good look. This was a sham consultation.”

The federation argues the plan will give unprecedented control to the same agency responsible for collecting taxes. “The CRA can barely answer the phone, so Carney shouldn’t be giving those bureaucrats more busy work,” Terrazzano said. “The CRA is a bloated mess, and Carney should be cutting the cost of bureaucracy, not scheming up ways to give it more power over taxpayers.”

Related bloated mess.

The Epitome of Hypocrisy

Liberal hypocrisy never fails to amaze me. Apparently the Woke mind NOW believes your home is your sanctuary from law enforcement, but not from criminals.

FYI, US law enforcement do not require a warrant when in hot pursuit.

The Middle East’s Ancient Hatreds Have Given Way to Scorn by Clueless Canucks

While historic changes are occurring in the Middle East, the petty grudges of ignorant Canadians are still ongoing and some are noticing:

Canadian officials went so far as to ban American spirits from their store shelves, a prohibition that still exists in many provinces today.

“This was all about some ugliness that we’re not part of,” Moore said. “We’re not in politics. We’re just some guys in Virginia making good whisky. But unfortunately, we’re the victims.”

Canadian visitors by land to the United States have plunged 31% so far this year through the end of September, according to the most recent data from Statistics Canada. Air travel by Canadians is down by 13%.

“The tough thing for us is, it’s nothing we’ve done. We’ve worked hard to grow our business and lure folks who want to come across the border,” Dame said. “Canadians just aren’t happy. It’s not economic policy. It’s these hurtful things said about their country.”

Math Is Not Our Thing

Dan Knight- “They Never Asked What It Would Cost”: Budget Watchdog Testifies Liberal Government Never Calculated Impact of Immigration Surge

In a stunning moment of honesty before Parliament, Canada’s own budget watchdog just confirmed what every sane person already suspected: the federal government under Justin Trudeau and now Mark Carney has never even bothered to ask what this out-of-control immigration surge is actually costing the country.
