Does the Government of Canada need a U.S. style DOGE financial audit?
Franco Terrazzano, federal director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, would say yes. Terrazzano released a series of bombshell tweets revealing extreme waste in Ottawa.
“Global Affairs Canada (is doling) out $223 million to the “private sector” in South America for climate change mitigation and gender-responsive, sustainable economic development,” he wrote on X.
This is criminal.
Niccolò Machiavelli once said, “Never waste the opportunity offered by a good crisis.”
The comment could be a line in the Liberals’ playbook given Canada’s recent history.
At a campaign event, Mark Carney, who is on the cusp of becoming Canada’s next prime minister going into a federal election, said he supports the use of “emergency powers” to fight back against the Americans in a trade war.
I’m still in shock that this globalist said this out loud. I hope people who consider voting for him listen to this and wake the hell up. And just imagine what he’s been saying behind closed doors. pic.twitter.com/QxVfoJWNqX

Abacus Data Poll: Conservatives lead by 19 as Liberal vote share rises at the expense of the NDP
If an election were held today, 46% of committed voters would cast a ballot for the Conservatives, 27% would vote Liberal, and 15% would support the NDP. The Bloc Québécois sits at 7% nationally, while the Greens are at 3% and the People’s Party at 2%. Since our last survey two weeks ago, the Conservatives are up 3, the Liberals up 5 while the NDP is down 3.
Despite an October pledge by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to drastically reduce immigration, the country’s population continues to grow at a high rate, a new report finds.
The Feb. 6 economic study from Desjardins titled ‘Is Canada’s Population Slowing According to Plan?’ finds that while international student admissions have decreased in the last four months, Ottawa is still allowing about the same amount of temporary foreign workers and permanent immigrants into the country.
The bottom line, the report authors say, is that the population growth isn’t about to change without “more aggressive reductions.”
A central theme of the Liberal leadership race, based on what the candidates are saying, is that they all represent a new iteration of the party and are not like those other Liberals who have been in power for close to a decade and who, you know, got so much wrong.
And that’s fine. Front-runners Chrystia Freeland and Mark Carney are perfectly welcome to try to distance themselves from a deeply unpopular government and label themselves as outsiders with fresh ideas. That’s politics.
URGENT:
Carney will NOT SCRAP the Carbon Tax
Carney’s team laughs at axing the Carbon Tax
He says on tape he’s just CHANGING the Carbon Tax
HOW MUCH will Carney’s changed Carbon Tax cost Canadians?
⛽️At gas pumps?
On your heating bill?
In farmers’ fields?

Foreign affairs minister travelling to France, Germany and Belgium
OTTAWA — Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly is travelling to Europe today.
The minister will be in Europe until Feb. 18, traveling to France, Germany and Belgium to take part in conferences, meet with officials to discuss topics like geopolitical conflicts and foreign interference and speak in a roundtable on Arctic security.
Former central banker Mark Carney opened the door to an early election call if he is elected by Liberal members to replace Justin Trudeau as party leader and prime minister in a March 9 leadership vote.
Mr. Carney, the perceived frontrunner for the Liberal leadership, has been crisscrossing the country to introduce himself to rank-and-file party members and announcing some policy initiatives.
When Carney looks into the camera after stating he will use the emergencies act you can see the evil that lives within. If he gains power he’ll make Trudeau look like a puppy dog. pic.twitter.com/46NFkYNcPo

With a shocking new poll showing that Liberal leadership front-runner Mark Carney is poised to win a general election against Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, he may be experiencing a phenomenon that would be familiar to two other ill-starred politicians in similar circumstances.
We’re all going to feel outrage at the 25 per cent tariffs that President Donald Trump just slapped on Canadian aluminum and steel — if we haven’t started already.
No one will take joy in the work slowdown that has already hit Hamilton, Ont. and the job losses, immediate and downstream, that ensue. Nor will anyone be happy to pay the higher price of American-manufactured items that spike in price due to the higher cost of raw materials within their country.
Consequences? That’s for the “Little People”.
He waited too long, had to be driven from office by his own caucus and left a monumental mess in his wake, but Justin Trudeau’s departure, combined with the belligerent new attitude in Washington, has delivered a rare opportunity for Canada to shake its traditional torpor and seize on much-needed and long-delayed change.
Given their dismal economic record after 10 years in power, it’s hard to comprehend why anyone would trust the federal Liberals to be responsible stewards of the nation’s finances heading into this year’s election.
Indeed, it’s an issue on which Liberal leadership frontrunner (and prime minister-in-waiting) Mark Carney and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre agree.
Mark Carney is NOT scrapping the carbon tax.
He's HIDING the carbon tax.
Big difference. pic.twitter.com/f5MYsvWR7m

Criminals, grifters, aspiring terrorists, extremists and other less-than-savoury characters have washed onto Canadian shores in a tsunami of stupidity over the past decade.
And then, we can’t get rid of them.
When Justin Trudeau finally announced Jan. 6 he would step down, some Liberals called for a quick anointing of former finance minister Chrystia Freeland as the party’s new leader.
But Gerald Butts, the Prime Minister’s friend and former chief strategist, argued against that on the grounds that the candidates needed to be tested in a leadership race.
Instead they’ve arranged for Mark Carney to be anointed.
A swamp dweller at home among the elites who have worked hand in glove with the Trudeau government to make Canada a 3rd World shithole.
We have seen so much of the Trudeau government’s perfidious hypocrisy and moral bankruptcy on the Israel-Hamas War that one would think he could do nothing more that civilized people would consider revolting. Well, we were wrong.
After all, how much more aid and comfort — moral and material -could he give to an enemy like Hamas than he has already? Yes, an enemy. What else would one call an organization listed as terrorists by Canada.
More than 100 prominent Canadian business leaders have signed a letter calling for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to end the prorogation of Parliament and reinstate the government at its full, functioning capacity to address threats from the U.S. administration.
The letter, sent on Tuesday, demands a sitting Parliament to productively address the “period of turmoil and uncertainty,” Canada is facing. Canadians who signed it include leaders at the helm of companies such as Borrowell, Grammarly, DavidsTea Inc., Deep Sky, Knix and PointClickCare.
One of the absurdities of lame-duck Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s pledge to have Canada achieve “net zero” industrial greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 is that since he won’t be in power then, he can say anything he likes now, regardless of its real-world feasibility.
