"[F]or older voters — especially Boomers and older Gen Xers — [Canada is broken] is like nails on a chalkboard. They hate it. Not because it’s wrong, but because it threatens a version of Canada they still believe in. A Canada that worked. A Canada that rewarded hard work, played fair, and gave them everything they have now."

Poilievre says he'll keep retirement age at 65 in play for boomers
nationalpost.com/news/politics

This is one of those policies on which I disagree with #PierrePoilievre : I support "gradually increas[ing] the age of eligibility for OAS and GIS payments to 67 from 65." As Canadians live longer and work for most is less physically wearying than it was fifty years ago, we should expect retirement to start later.

"Asked about dental care and pharmacare, two programs the Liberals established over their last term in government, Poilievre pledged to “protect these programs.”"

I hope all the people who've been claiming Mr. Poilievre would cancel these programmes will now mention his pledge to keep them.

Be sceptical if you want, but it's only fair to note what a politician promises.

"The 45th Canadian federal election is the Liberals’ to lose. That’s not a line anyone would have written two months ago. But today, just three days into the campaign, opinion polls show the party ahead by up to seven points. All the gains the Conservatives made in the past two years have melted like the proverbial snow in springtime."

“I want to challenge Mark Carney to show up for the debate at TVA in Quebec. He’s running away and hiding because he believes he’s too weak to defend the lost Liberal decade or explain why he thinks Liberals deserve a fourth term,” said Poilievre, speaking at a press conference in Vaughan.

“I’ll even pay Mr. Carney’s fee so he can show up. We’ll take that excuse away from him. Conservatives will even pay the fee to bring him out.”

Carney, premiers agree to develop national energy, trade corridor: PM
nationalpost.com/news/politics

It's wonderful that Canadian governments are finally working together to increase internal trade. We ought to have done this fifty years ago.

I do hope it moves beyond commitments, to actions.

"The most damning indictment of the Trudeau-Carney era is the complete stagnation of Canada’s economy. According to the International Monetary Fund, Canada experienced nearly zero real per capita GDP growth between 2014 and 2024. That’s an entire decade where the average Canadian didn’t see any meaningful improvement in their standard of living."

"By making the Great Canadian Road Trip our national priority, we can grow our $210 billion [tourism and hospitality] sector by another $20 billion this year — just by choosing to stay home. That’s money in Canadian pockets, Canadian jobs created, and Canadian businesses thriving."

Twenty-four hours ago, I thought that Canadians would have to suffer through a trade war and the question was how to handle it most effectively; but then we got a deal that amounted to little more than what we had already promised. Clearly those searching for a deal on border security were right and I was wrong.

XB-1 the first independently developed jet to break the sound barrier
nationalpost.com/news/xb-1-bec

By "independent", they mean that this jet was developed as part of a government programme. (Though I wouldn't be surprised if some grants were part of their funding.)

Hard to believe they chose to call the company "Boom Supersonic".

Why doesn’t #cdnmedia call out Pierre Poilievre on his refusal to submit to national security clearance? Passing security clearance should be made law for any incumbent Prime Minister.

Are Canadian Media groups covering up the foreign interference that strives to destroy our democracy and elect a populist foreign agent simply because it suits their interests?

Is Right Wing Canadian Media complicit in handing our country to a foreign owned puppet like Pierre Poilievre?

Without #securityclearance Pierre Poilievre will never be a trusted, legitimate Prime Minister. Those informed on his clandestine support will always see him as a foreign backed agent much like Trump and Musk.

Canadians WILL fight back against foreign ownership of our Political Parties and Politicians even if #CdnMediaFail. Democracy itself is flawed if this is allowed to happen.

Pierre Poilievre needs to prove his legitimacy if he truly intends to lead Canada, otherwise he’s just misleading us.
