This meme is 100% accurate and it’s embarrassing as hell.
Canada 🇨🇦 41 million people 🤬 getting absolutely hammered with a carbon tax that drives up the cost of gas, food, heating, and everything else we need to survive.
USA 🇺🇸 340+ million people YET no carbon tax.
Mexico 🇲🇽 130+ million people YET no carbon tax.
And our brilliant leaders are still sitting there like Ralph Wiggum yelling “I’m helping!” while they deliberately make life more expensive for regular Canadians.
This isn’t climate policy. This is economic self-sabotage. We’re one of the lowest emitters in the G7 and we’re taxing ourselves into the ground so a bunch of globalist politicians can feel morally superior at conferences. Meanwhile China and India are laughing all the way to the bank.
Carney and the Liberals keep telling us we have to “rupture” our relationship with the United States — our biggest trading partner — while they punish us at home with this stupid tax. It’s delusional.
We’re not saving the planet. We’re just screwing over our own people so the elite can virtue signal.
Drop a 🔥 if you’re sick of paying the price for their stupidity.

Stelco's U.S. owner said the quiet part out loud.
Cleveland-Cliffs CEO Lourenco Goncalves on CBC this week:
"I bought Stelco because I could not afford anymore having Stelco flooding the market here in the United States to the detriment of my own company."
Ottawa approved that $3.4 billion takeover in 2024, with a promise to keep Stelco's jobs through 2029.
300+ Hamilton workers have layoff notices, and he says he'll sell within a year.
Who's protecting Canadian steel? 🤦🏻♂️
Buy Canadian, eh? 🇨🇦
A father and his two daughters were shot in their own home before 4 a.m. The mother was hit with a hammer.
It's Toronto's 119th home invasion this year, up 35%. That's already more than all of 2025 (93).
Families are buying security film, panic rooms and private patrols just to sleep at night.
When people have to pay for their own safety, the system has failed them. 🤦🏻♂️
Leave your fob at the door, right?
Lock your doors, eh? 🇨🇦
Here's Carney in Montreal today:
"Canadians have a stake in it."
Then Canadians should get to see the terms. How big a stake, and at what price? 🤦🏻♂️
And what do we get to take to the bank??
Carney just committed up to $1.6 BILLION of your money to buy a stake in AI company Cohere.
In return: 1,000 promised jobs by 2030.
That's up to $1.6 million in public money per promised job.
He says Ottawa "secured strong terms." His AI minister won't share them.
And Ottawa already pledged Cohere up to $240 million in 2024.
Shouldn't taxpayers see the deal before they foot the bill?
Show us the terms, eh? 🇨🇦
Canada has the world's 4th-largest proven oil reserves. Our real GDP per person has barely moved in eight years.
Up just 2.4% since 2018. Still below its 2022 peak.
Norway, another oil country: about US$115K per person. Canada: about US$60K.
And 44% of Canadians say they're $200 or less from not covering their monthly bills.
How does a country this rich end up this stuck?
Rich in resources, poor in policy, eh? 🇨🇦
Canada has the oil and gas to be near the top of the world in wealth. Our standard of living used to match that.
Now a lot of households are one paycheck from homelessness, incomes are dropping, and we missed the chance we had to set ourselves up properly.
Broken Country looks at how that happened. brokencountry.com
In the Heart ❤️ of Liberal Voters Area
Wonder if they reminded the Criminals that Trudeau, Chipmunk 🐿️ Gary AND Carney said those Guns are illegal?
🚨 BRIDLE PATH, TORONTO 3:43 a.m.
3 masked thugs smash through the back door of a family home in one of Canada’s richest neighbourhoods.
Father + 2 daughters SHOT multiple times.
Mother beaten with a hammer.
This is what “gun control” actually looks like in 2026.
Criminals have the guns. You don’t. Liberals won’t let you.
When seconds count, police are minutes away.

Carney told Canadians fixing the economy "will take some sacrifices." Less than three months later, his plane ran up a $175,248 catering bill on one trip.
Truffle risotto. Beef tenderloin. Crème brûlée.
73 passengers. About $2,400 each.
And in the same breath he promised to "cut waste." 🤦🏻♂️
Who exactly was supposed to be sacrificing?
Sacrifice starts at the top, eh? 🇨🇦
Canada lost 110,000 jobs in August and September. Here's what Carney was saying before that.
March, in the House: the U.S. "lost 6,000 jobs." Canada "created over 80,000."
"Canadians are getting ahead."
Then the jobs reports landed.
August: -42,000
September: -68,000
Young Canadians: -48,000 in September alone
2026 so far: -41,200 jobs.
Same point in 2025: +211,300.
Banker's math: brag about 80,000 new jobs while the population keeps growing. Then watch 110,000 vanish in two months. 🤦🏻♂️
Meanwhile the U.S., an economy Carney himself says is 11 times our size, just grew at a 3.4% pace in Q3, beating forecasts.
So who exactly is getting ahead?
Jobs, not spin, eh? 🇨🇦
Von der Leyen opened the Montreal summit still pitching Canada as the EU's "first associate member," a day after EU governments scrubbed the term from the summit statement.
Germany led the push to drop it. Her own country.
Meanwhile, the premier of the province hosting the summit isn't in the room.
Ottawa refused to let Paul St-Pierre Plamondon speak. He turned down a "spectator" seat and warned EU leaders that deals touching provincial powers without Quebec's consent "will simply not be implemented."
Carney's answer on the label? "The precise nomenclature is a question for Europe."
So Europe decides what we're called, Ottawa decides who gets to talk, and Canadians decide nothing?
Our country, our say, eh? 🇨🇦
Ursula von der Leyen, in Montreal today:
“And this is why we’re discussing the idea of Canada becoming the first associate member of the European Union.”
“It means close alignment of policies”
“It means close alignment on governance”
“The cooperation could also entail parliament to parliament between or two parliaments. And court to court.”
WTAF? Who voted for this?
KEEP ASKING @bobzimmermp !
🚨 Northern Affairs Minister wants me to stop asking her tough questions about Mark Carney and his housing failures.
I ask her why:
❌ Mark Carney dropped his ‘500,000 new homes a year’ promise,
❌ Carney gave $20,000 bonuses to his housing bureaucrats for failing
❌ Carney sent $7.8 MILLION taxpayer dollars to fund housing in the Dominican Republic while northern Canadian housing is in disrepair.
I will ALWAYS stand up for northerners.
Watch 👇
Carney's ethics screen names 103 Brookfield companies. Brookfield's own COO told MPs it owns about 2,000.
That leaves roughly 1,900 that aren't on the list.
Yesterday at the ethics committee, Michael Cooper asked the Ethics Commissioner a simple question: has Carney ever given your office anything on those other 1,900?
"No."
Has your office asked for it?
"No, we have not."
His reason: the whole system relies on what the PM chooses to declare.
A year later, the list looks exactly the same.
The PM gets to write his own ethics screen, and nobody checks his homework? 🤦🏻♂️
Trust, but verify, eh? 🇨🇦
Europe just said no to making Canada an "associate member." Germany, France and Greece pushed the label out before the Montreal summit even started.
Here's the thing: nobody voted on this.
No election platform. No debate in Parliament.
Just a PM who told a 2023 World Economic Forum panel:
"I am a European actually, I'm an Irish citizen."
Then, almost as an afterthought:
"I'll throw the Canadians in, I'm also Canadian." 🤦🏻♂️
Europe doesn't want the label.
Parliament never got a say on it.
So who exactly was this for?
We're Canadian first, eh? 🇨🇦
From 2015 to 2024, Canada's real GDP per person grew just 1.4%. That ranked 37th of 38 OECD countries.
Only Luxembourg did worse.
The economy got bigger. Canadians didn't get richer. Most of the growth came from more people, not more output per person.
Ten years, side by side:
🇮🇪 Ireland +41.7%
🇵🇱 Poland +40.1%
🇺🇸 U.S. +18.2%
🌍 OECD average +13.6%
🇬🇧 U.K. +5.5%
🇩🇪 Germany +4.4%
🇨🇦 Canada +1.4%
Same resources. Same workers. Same giant market next door.
What changed was Ottawa: weak business investment, slow permits, and provinces still putting up trade barriers against each other.
The guy who helped write the Liberal economic plan is now running it.
Bigger isn't better if your slice keeps shrinking, eh? 🇨🇦
OH !!! THIS IS GOLD !!!!
Paul isn’t taking Carney’s BS!
Grab the popcorn 🍿, this looks like it’s about to get Exciting!!
J’ai pris note aujourd’hui de la nouvelle offre de Mark Carney d’obtenir le droit de m’assoir à sa table d’honneur à titre de spectateur, sans droit de parole ni droit de négocier au nom du Québec. Cette proposition revient à demander au Québec de rentrer dans les rangs, avec la vassalisation et l’invisibilisation du Québec que cela implique, en échange d’obtenir de meilleurs sièges de spectateurs pour regarder la partie. Comme premier ministre, je refuserai toujours que le Québec soit réduit au rôle de spectateur lorsqu’il s’agit de représenter et protéger les intérêts économiques et politiques des Québécois.
La réalité est que nous sommes devant une stratégie de marginalisation du Québec sur la scène internationale et de subordination des champs de compétence du Québec à la volonté du fédéral. Je note à cet effet que tous les chefs de partis de l’Assemblée nationale ont indiqué hier que s’ils étaient dans la position de premier ministre et devant un tel sommet sur le territoire du Québec, ils s’attendraient à prendre la parole et à participer à part entière. À Ottawa, le chef de l'opposition officielle ainsi que le chef du Bloc Québécois ont également appuyé notre demande.
J’ai donc pris la plume et j’ai écrit aux représentants de l’Union européenne pour leur rappeler que des ententes qui impliquent l’Europe et le Québec doivent forcément passer par le gouvernement du Québec, et à plus forte raison si le sommet se tient sur notre territoire. Le refus de nous donner la parole à titre d’hôte pour souhaiter la bienvenue à nos invités y est également mentionné.
Je lance donc l’invitation pour une discussion bilatérale dans un meilleur contexte qui permettrait au Québec de ne pas être exclu. À ce titre, j’enverrai le diplomate en chef du Québec, Pascal Paradis, pour ouvrir ces canaux de discussion pour la suite.
Jamil Jivani asked the Ethics Commissioner why conflict of interest rules aren't being applied to the PM's friends. He didn't get an answer.
The deal: Telesat got a $2.3B military satellite contract in August. With options, it can reach $2.7B.
Telesat's CEO is Dan Goldberg, a longtime friend of Carney.
Ottawa says Carney was screened off from the decision. Fine. Then show us:
• Who ran the screen
• When it started
• What he was kept out of
A Conservative MP has also asked in writing whether the contract was sole-sourced or competitively bid. The answer is due Nov 6.
Arctic satellites for our military are a good idea. Billions to the PM's friend with no paper trail are not.
Will Ottawa actually answer by Nov 6?
Show the receipts, eh? 🇨🇦
The EU dropped the "associate member" label. The red tape didn't go anywhere.
Catherine Swift @Swiftie01 on what closer ties would actually mean: rules from Brussels on top of rules from Ottawa, and a market that takes about 5% of our exports.
No debate in Parliament. No vote. No details.
Ask first, sign later, eh? 🇨🇦
