  • “Carney’s ‘Swing for the Fences’: Liberals’ Generational Investment Gamble Risks Canada’s Debt Crisis

    The Generational Curse: Ottawa’s Fiscal Mirage In the shadowed corridors of Ottawa, where the air grows thick with the scent of desperation, the Liberal government under Prime Minister Mark Carney is whispering a seductive mantra: “generational investment.” He delivered this line—and the even more audacious “swing for the fences”—at a pre-budget speech to a rapt…

  • Canada’s 1% Fentanyl Lie: 700 Dead Americans Say It’s No Joke

    Let’s get one thing straight: Donald Trump’s not exactly a subtle guy. He’s been screaming at Canada for years—harden your damn border, stop the fentanyl drip, save some American lives. And what’s Canada done? Jack squat. So, Trump, in his infinite orange wisdom, slaps a 25% tariff on Canadian goods, and suddenly everyone north of…

  • Oh Canada, Where’s Your Spine?

    You know, Canada used to be the country that quietly got along with everyone. We were the neighbour who returned your lawnmower with a full tank of gas, the polite one who held the door open for America even while they stomped around like an elephant on roller skates. But now?

  • The 2024 Fall Economic Statement – Fiction

    Let’s talk about the 2024 Fall Economic Statement (FES), the kind of thing most Canadians skim past because, frankly, it’s packed with charts and numbers that look more like a corporate PowerPoint presentation than a transparent economic roadmap.

  • We Messed Up!

    If the last few years of Canadian governance were a movie, it’d be a comedy—but not the good kind. It’d be one of those cringe-worthy, slapstick flicks where every decision leaves you asking, “Who thought that was a good idea?” Enter Canada’s experiment with quantitative easing (QE), a financial stunt that’s left our economy wobbling…

  • The 2024 Fall Budget – A Hot Mess!

    Let’s start with the obvious: the 2024 Fall Economic Statement should have been a reckoning, a sobering account of failed plans and broken promises, topped off with a bold plan to right the ship. Instead, we got a litany of excuses wrapped in polished PR. The government is playing the “hope the electorate isn’t paying…

  • Australia’s Infrastructure Crisis: A Ticking Time Bomb for Taxpayers

    Australia’s Infrastructure Crisis: A Ticking Time Bomb for Taxpayers In a country priding itself on stability and prosperity, Australia’s approach to infrastructure spending has all the hallmarks of a government playing Russian roulette with the future. Decades of underinvestment, political optics over substance, and a backlog of overdue maintenance have left the nation teetering on…
