The current vogue now is to blame all our troubles, here in Canada, on Trump.
I saw this on the Canada Campaign site and have copied it. Originally written by someone called Andrew Laturnus. I have added a few to the original post:
-Trump didn't stop our export pipelines from being built.
-Trump didn't drive half a trillion dollars of capital investments out of Canada.
-Trump didn't stall the growth of our GDP/capita for the last ten years.
-Trump didn't flood our country with millions of migrants.
-Trump didn't throw away hundreds of billions of our dollars on "green" energy.
-Trump didn't cause our housing costs to skyrocket.
-Trump didn't make the Canadian government borrow $600 billon. -Trump didn't legalize hard drugs.
-Trump didn't create our healthcare crisis.
-Trump didn't cause 1/3 of Canadians to go hungry, and food bank usage to more than double.
-Trump didn't turn our dollar into monopoly money.
-Trump didn't push DEI in our country which caused many to be hired -not for their expertise- but for their color, gender, ethnicity.
-Trump didn't make Trudeau break his promise to Veterans
-Trump didn't denigrate and decimate our military.
-Trump didn't insult thousands of Canadians just trying to protest a wrong.
-Trump didn't call an EA on Canadians. Trudeau did.
-Trump didn't cause Trudeau to make a fool of himself in India.
-Trump didn't force Trudeau to slap a carbon tax on Canadians that no one wants, and that has done little but make life more expensive!
-Trump didn't have anything to do with how Trudeau treated Jody Wilson-Raybould, Vice Admiral Mark Norman, General Fortin and others!
No, the blame can be put squarely on Trudeau and the spendthrift, divisive and inept government that he and his ministers and MPs have run for the last 9 plus years. 😡
United Conservative Party AGM 2025: Separatism, Board Elections, and Conservative Policy Shape Alberta's Political Future
The United Conservative Party of Alberta held its 2025 Annual General Meeting from November 28-30 at the Edmonton Expo Centre, drawing over 4,200 party members in what proved to be one of the most consequential gatherings in the party's history. The convention was marked by intense debates over Alberta separatism, closely watched board elections, and the passage of dozens of policy resolutions that will shape the party's direction heading into the 2027 provincial election.
The Separatism Question Dominates Discussions
The most dramatic moments of the AGM came when discussions of Alberta independence took center stage, despite party leadership's efforts to keep the topic of

McTEAGUE: From backroom deal to boondoggle: This is no way to build a pipeline
The devil’s in the details — why this pipeline deal is a Trojan Horse for Canadian consumers.

Dan McTeague is President of Canadians for Affordable Energy.
As I said in the lead-up to the announcement of this recent Carney-Smith pipeline deal, “the devil is in the details.” And now that I’ve had some time to digest the details in Thursday’s Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), I will say, the details are positively demonic.
Now, that doesn’t change the fact that I am very much in favor of building out our pipeline infrastructure. Oil and gas are the backbone of the Canadian economy, and they need to get to market.
And pipelines that get those products to tidewater to be shipped abroad, like this one, play a particular role in combatting the “petro-loonie discount,” the 20% to 40% discount our oil trades at, because the US is among our only customers. That creates real ...
