I mean this is just pretty funny, the Liberal party of Canada celebrating PM Carney getting rid of the consumer carbon tax.

With this & the higher capital gains inclusion rate (generational fairness remember?) Liberals are cheering Mark Carney undoing everything Trudeau has done and stood for.  What’s funnier is that they’re perfectly fine with the hypocrisy too.  Well I mean you got to give it to the Liberals, they do whatever it takes to win.

I just hope that Canadians are not stupid enough to fall for this crap, the last 10 years have been a disaster and won’t get better with a new face leading the Liberals.

Mark Carney has been voted in as the next Liberal party of Canada leader and will become the next PM despite having told Liberal supporters no real policy positions…  Funny because I remember Liberals complaining about the lack of policy from Pierre Poilievre but Carney well that’s ok.  To be fair the few policy positions that he has released (along with the other Liberal leadership candidates) have stolen a lot of what PP has proposed, I guess that’s ok since it’s good policy but yeah it’s kind of funny to watch the Liberals run away from everything they’ve stood for in the last 9 years.

Unfortunately Trump has shaken politics up in Canada and looks Liberal fortunes are on the rise, I certainly hope come election time people aren’t fooled by the same people who are now running on almost a completely opposite platform.

On the Conservative side, PP really needs to stop talking about the carbon tax.  You won, talk about how even without being in government, you’re able to get everyone to drop that lousy policy but talk more broadly about affordability or how the last 9 years of Liberal rule has left Canada weak and vulnerable to Trump and his antics.  Sigh what a mess but it appears team sport politics is most important and it’s maddening.

We really live in the best reality…  I laugh at the political commentators and politicians saying that they should do this and that to deal with or appease President Trump and to me, there’s absolutely no logic in what he’s doing.  I mean there’s a real large possibility that he doesn’t even know how tariffs work in the first place but even if he does, he’s flying by the seat of his pants here.  If we capitulate and deal with his stated goals (and when have rich people ever cared about drug users), he’ll just shift the goal posts.

The best way to deal with Trump is to appeal to his vanity, give him something small and make a big deal about it.  That’s what he wants he’s shown over and over, he cares greatly about praise and getting wins so give him something he can tell his supporters and move on.  If you give in completely he’ll just keep using the same tricks over and over again, even if we shut the border down completely, he’ll make up something else next time.

All the while, we’re stuck waiting for the Liberals to run their god damn leadership race with a government that’s in caretaker mode.  I bet JT wishes he didn’t announce his pending resignation as he was itching to run against Trump.

I have to admit, I never thought Justin Trudeau would resign and figure he’d cling onto power till the very end but resigning because he’s lost his caucus confidence is ok I guess.  By most measurable statistics like cost of living, GDP per capital, federal debt levels, etc his tenure has been a failure and I really hope people don’t look back at this time with rose colour glasses and say it wasn’t so bad, yes it was!  Trudeau and his focus on social issues over anything of substance has put Canada in a very perilous situation and his unchecked spending (like his father, took 15 years for the federal government to get ahold of the budget) will set us back for at least a decade, if not more.

As Donald Trump gets into office, we’ll have a caretaker government with no mandate what a great position to be in.  Prorogation is till March 24th and then the feds will need to release a budget as the fiscal year ends at the end of that month, if the Liberals lose that vote the earliest we can have an election is early May.  Sigh that time can’t come soon enough.

Fuck you Justin Trudeau and I’m glad you’ve destroyed your beloved Liberal party, may it die off completely and it’s brand never be rehabilitated.

Yesterday the Liberals announced another round of gun bans yesterday and it includes guns like my GSG-16 rifle.  This is a plastic gun that fires .22LR but apparently fits their definition of an assault style weapon (there is no definition other than it looks scary) and to make things more comical, they’re going to send seized guns to the Ukraine so soldiers there can use them.  Yes I’m sure the soldier that gets one of these things is going to be so thankful, have range out to maybe 25 meters and need to shoot your target 10x to be combat effective…  I kid but this is ridiculous but not unexpected since the Liberals are flailing.

Their stupid GST holiday and bribe of $250 cheque (which is in limbo right now) didn’t give them any jump in the polls so I’m sure they’ll go back to their greatest hits of talking about abortion, LGBT rights and guns.  They certainly can’t run on their record, 9 years in power and the quality of life in Canada has gotten dramatically worse so time to roll out the social issues and try and create a wedge.  All fluff no substance with these idiots, sunny ways.

One good thing is that with all the activity on legal guns and the rise of gun violence (with illegal guns), I think we’re reaching a point where the populace is starting to realize the Liberals are simply gaslighting everyone and trying to scare people about guns is no longer working.

Man a federal election can’t come soon enough, it took 20 years to after Pierre Trudeau left office to get spending and our budget back into the black, sigh with JT’s stupid policies it may take another 20 painful years to get Canada back to fiscal responsibility…  I’ll also say this, after seeing how PET & JT have governed, I hope Canadians understand we cannot have another Trudeau politician again.

About the only thing the governing federal Liberals care about is optics, they don’t actually care if their policies do anything. Well I’m glad cops are pushing back against Trudeau’s ridiculous claims that banning legal gun owners from purchasing handguns is keeping Canadians safer.

I don’t know why that bit about ghost guns is in this piece, this is a US problem due to their high availability of parts but it’s clear that legal guns are not the problem.  The system is designed to against diversion of legal guns too, if I divert some of my legal handguns to the black market when someone is caught the gun will still be show to be registered to me.

The unofficial motto of the Liberal party of Canada must be look good instead of doing good.  The next election can’t come soon enough and I can’t wait for that sanctimonious ass Trudeau to get tossed.  His policies have meant Canadians have had a lost decade of progress in so many metrics.

This was a pretty funny read, the Liberals have been crying Conservatives are turning dental groups against their plan when they’ve done no such thing.

“There has been zero pressure, really, from the Conservatives on us in any kind of fashion that would result in the low uptake of dentists registering for the program,” said Dr. Robert Wolanski, president of the British Columbia Dental Association.

“The misinformation that has been provided has been provided almost solely by … the Liberal government and the NDP,” Wolanski said, of a program that was born out of the minority Liberals’ parliamentary alliance with the New Democrats.

The Liberals are always lying, that should be the default position when any Liberal politician talks.  The Conservatives would probably not be any better but it’s the Liberals who have been in power for 9 years and well I’ll let you be the judge if you were better in 2015 when Harper was in charge (and I don’t even like Harper) or Trudeau now.

Trudeau’s government is not known for well thought out ideas and this has got to be one of the stupider ones.

Ottawa has been promising to launch this program ever since it banned the sale and use of 1,500 models of firearms on May 1, 2020. The buyback plan has the support of the gun control movement but faces stiff opposition from hunters and shooters.

“This seems to be a situation in which the Liberals promised a lot, and maybe they promised too much,” said Boily.

The government had to go back to the drawing board after Canada Post refused to collect banned weapons at its post offices, citing security concerns.

Canada Post is refusing to comment on the matter but sources within the organization said many post offices have little security, with no alarm systems or surveillance cameras.

“Zero,” said a Canada Post employee when asked to describe security at his post office in a small municipality. “The government is crazy if it thinks we can do this safely.”

So the federal government want people to bring their guns and leave them at Canada Post offices, that sounds like a great target for organized crime to hit!  These guns were so dangerous that they had to be banned, yet the feds let owners sit on them for the next 4 years and then have 0 security at post offices.  Well thought out but of course it’s not about public safety, the last line in the article says it all, they need votes and they think this is what is going to save them.

Abortion, LGBT issues and guns, that’s what the Liberals are going to run the next election on because after 9 years they have nothing to show for their tenure.
