🧵Did you know that as a taxpayer, whether you like it or not, you are funding charities and NGOs that lobby the government? Anti-pipeline activism? You paid for it Anti-vaping activism? You paid for it Anti-housing activism? You paid for it Anti-alcohol activism? You paid for it

Crazy week for the COVID zero crowd. @imgrund is under investigation for sexual misconduct from the Teachers Union, and @nilikm is under investigation from the College of Physicians for breaching their professional code of conduct 👀

I can only speak for myself but I’m not particularly interested in picking up this tab down the road. I can’t be the only person under 40 thinking the same thing here…..

Over the next four years, Carney will add $225 billion to the debt. For comparison, Trudeau planned on increasing debt by $131 billion over those years. Carney is racking up nearly $100 billion more debt than Trudeau.

Just got hate mail after my appearance on CBC talking about supply management. A 60+ year old nurse practitioner emailed me her outrage and Cc’d Mark Carney on the email. Yes she looped in the Prime Minister 😂

What’s really interesting about the Royal wedding is that Harry and Meghan’s kids will be in line for the throne and eligible to be President of the United States. I can see the campaign slogan for 2056... Make America Great Britain Again #royalwedding

This tweet from a retiree I think perfectly encapsulates the generational divide. Those over a certain age feel like the last 9 years have been great. Those under a certain age do not

Liberal politicos are really going to have to shift their communication strategy to compete with this. Trying to dunk on Pierre over Bitcoin will be white noise for most Canadians, especially when Pierre’s messaging here so easily resonates

Thanks to Trudeau's carbon tax, tomatoes grown in Manotick are more expensive than tomatoes grown in Mexico... for shoppers in Manotick. And now Trudeau plans to triple his carbon tax. Enough. Axe the carbon tax. Bring more food production home.

Not a great look for the parliamentary Secretary for the ministry for media subsidies basically saying “we keep you in business so you better be thankful”, in a public forum.

Your paper wouldn't be in business were it not for the subsidies that the government that you hate put in place - the same subsidies your Trump - adjacent foreign hedge fund owners gladly take to pay your salary.

Now would be a good time to reshare my piece saying that Canada could avoid tariff chaos with Trump if we ended supply management and scrapped our silly digital policies
David Clement: Trump is delusional on tariffs, but Canada shouldn't retaliate

This is not a return to the Chrétien-Martin era we were being sold. Disappointing is an understatement given how important it is to get our fiscal mess under control

🧵Listing cartels as terrorist entities could cause a major ripple in Canadian banking. Minister McGuinty has said that knowingly collaborating with a terror group can lead to that party also being listed as a terrorist entity, and assets can be frozen. Why is it important?
