Drama Queens: LGBTQ+ Americans consider move to Canada to escape Trump: ‘I’m afraid of living here’

Mark Carney and his side piece. His “legal” wife should be worried.

The number of LGBTQ+ Americans inquiring about moving to Canada has soared since Donald Trump’s re-election, campaigners have said, as people across the US wrestle with the fallout of rising anti-gay rhetoric, anti-trans executive orders, and the more than 600 bills targeting LGBTQ+ rights.

“So much is happening in the US right now and a lot of it is terrifying,” said Latoya Nugent of Rainbow Railroad, a North American charity that helps LGBTQI+ individuals escape violence and persecution in their home countries.

In the first eight months of this year, the organisation has received 4,197 calls from people living in the US – a surge of 760% compared with the same period last year. “The overwhelming majority of individuals who are reaching out want support with international relocation, which translates to ‘I want to get out of the US because I’m afraid of living here,’” said Nugent.

The only people putting anyone’s life in danger are Mass Shooter Trannies.

Donald Trump no longer top of mind for many Canadians as worries shift to economy, cost of living, poll finds

Canadians are more worried about the high cost of living and the economy than they are about Donald Trump and his administration, according to the latest Abacus survey, reversing a past trend where the U.S. president was the top concern.

The shift signals a change from the federal election in April when Canadians were more worried about a trade war with the U.S., a factor that helped Prime Minister Mark Carney get elected, explained Abacus chair and CEO David Coletto, because voters believed Carney was better equipped to deal with the American leader.

Canadians might be surprised at just how low U.S. tariffs on Canada’s exports really are

Economists estimate over 90% of Canadian goods are entering the U.S. tariff free, pushing down the overall rate

The average effective tariff that was being charged on Canadian goods going to the United States was possibly as low as 2.4 per cent to 2.5 per cent, two economic houses suggest.

New reports by Oxford Economics Ltd. and Capital Economics Ltd. suggest the average tariffs being charged on Canadian exports to the U.S. in June were as low as 2.4 per cent and 2.5 per cent, well off a previously forecasted rate from Capital of nine per cent for the month.

This can’t sit well with the Elbow People.

Draft major projects list not good enough for Ontario, Ford says

Cross Ontario Tunnel planned

Ontario Premier Doug Ford said a draft list reported by The Globe and Mail of 32 potential major projects to fast-track across the country is not good enough for his province and that he discussed the issue directly with Prime Minister Mark Carney on Friday.

The list, which is a government document obtained by The Globe, describes potential projects based on proposals Ottawa has received from premiers and others in recent months. It covers all provinces and territories, and includes ports, roads, bridges, mines and a range of energy projects.

The three fiscal taboos Canada can no longer afford

 

It’s possible Mark Carney never meant to use the a-word. He was answering a question in French, after all, and you know how that can trip him up sometimes. But there it was.

Asked if the fall budget would be an austerity budget, the Prime Minister did not attempt to deny it. Neither did he answer another question, not asked, a favourite tactic of politicians. Rather, he adapted it to a well-worn formula: “It’s an austerity and investment budget at the same time.”

Coyne’s role as a stenographer for our ruling class is a given.

How he can write an entire column on government spending and the economy without once mentioning that GDP has been destroyed through corporate Canada’s abuse of our immigration system that saw them callously import hordes of unskilled 3rd world migrants is beyond belief.

That’s not a productivity problem Coyne that’s just sleazy businessmen lining their pockets without giving a damn about the cost their greed has inflicted on Canadian society.

GUNTER: Federal Liberals hint at austerity, but don’t count on it

For more than a week now, Prime Minister Mark Carney and federal Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne have been preparing Canadians for an “austerity budget,” and perhaps even public-service layoffs.

Although while talking to reporters this week, Champagne was less committal. He spoke only of “adjustments” to the 440,000 federal civil service.

Carney unveils billions in funding, Buy ̷C̷a̷n̷a̷d̷i̷a̷n̷ Post-National State policy to combat Trump’s tariffs

Prime Minister Mark Carney rolled out a series of measures on Friday that he says will transform Canada’s economy into a force that can withstand the trade shocks of the Trump administration.

The measures announced in the strategy have been targeted to specifically help workers and businesses that have been most impacted by U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs and trade disruptions.

“If you look back over our country’s history, we have turned challenges into opportunities,” Carney said in Mississauga, Ont. “And now, at this moment of profound change, we bear the same responsibilities and we should have the same ambitions as those who came before us.”

I don’t know what he means by Canada. All I see is a 3rd world dumping ground that he helped create.

Matthew Lau: The unrelenting growth of Canada’s wealth-destroying public service

The federal government spent $71.1 billion on personnel costs in fiscal year 2024-25, the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) has estimated, up from $69.6 billion the year before. Unfortunately, even though the number of public service jobs fell by about three per cent in 2025, the count of full-time equivalents, which accounts for whether those jobs were full-time or part-time, continued to grow, helping drive the cost increase. And despite the slight decline in the count of public servants in 2025, last year still capped off a decade of significant growth: from 257,034 in 2015, the federal public service expanded by more than 100,000, or over 39 per cent, to 357,965 by 2025.

Randall Denley: Premier Ford’s pro-union political theatrics won’t bring more jobs to Ontario

Strong leadership or political theatre? Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s attack Tuesday on international booze corporation Diageo can be seen either way.

The premier was in a fury over the company’s plan to eliminate a Crown Royal whisky bottling plant in Amherstburg, Ont. at the cost of about 200 local jobs, most of them unionized.

Elbows? Maybe. But Carney approval definitely down, vote intention returns to near tie

September 5, 2025 – Summer has come and mostly gone, and no trade deal has materialized between Canada and its largest trading partner – the United States. Amid this, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s decision to drop counter tariffs, as well as high expectations on other major issues like housing affordability and “nation building” have contributed to a drop in his personal approval for the first time since assuming the office, and an electoral outlook that is now deadlocked with the Conservatives.

Even the Elbow people will have to admit they were sold a gimmicky slogan and nothing more.

‘Unemployment rate at its highest since ‘pandemic days’

Canadian economy bled 66,000 jobs in August as unemployment rate at its highest since ‘pandemic days’

Canada’s unemployment rate reached nearly its highest point since 2016 as the economy shed 66,000 jobs in August, according to new data from Statistics Canada.

The unemployment rate rose 0.2 percentage points in August to 7.1 per cent, a level last seen in May 2016 if the COVID-19 years of 2020 and 2021 were excluded, the data agency said.

The unemployment rate, or the number of people unemployed out of the total population, has been rising consistently this year, up from a 6.6 per cent rate in January.

Hezbollah, other terror groups actively fundraising in Canada: government report

OTTAWA — Canada’s “open and accessible” financial sector is vulnerable to terror groups looking to finance their overseas operations, a new government report details.

The report, entitled 2025 Assessment of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Risks in Canada, was quietly released by the Department of Finance last week, indicating overseas terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah involved in Politically Motivated Violent Extremism (PVME) are actively raising funds in Canada.

Opinion: Strip Mohamad Fakih of Order of Canada membership

Justin Trudeau and Mohamad Fakih

Who Canada honours is a direct reflection on our country and our values, and nothing conveys that more profoundly than our nation’s highest civilian honour: the Order of Canada.

Its recipients are supposed to represent our very best by recognizing those who, through their life and conduct, embody the aspiration contained in the Order’s motto: “They desire a better country”.

Fakih is the ideal recipient of The Order Of  Canada, an immigrant whose loyalty is not to Canada but to a cult whose tenets demand our destruction. That’s why Justin loves him.
