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. 😡

STOP BILL C-22!
A message from Project Confederation:

Despite the concerns raised by privacy advocates, cybersecurity experts, legal scholars, opposition MPs, and nearly 20,000 Canadians who signed our petition, yesterday the Liberal government rushed Bill C-22 through the committee stage of Parliament.
The Liberals had a choice.
They could have taken more time to consider the concerns that have been raised.
They could have allowed additional debate and scrutiny of a Bill that would dramatically expand government surveillance powers.
They could have listened to the growing number of Canadians speaking out against the legislation.
Instead, they chose to accelerate the process.
And they were only able to do that because they now have the votes.
Before the floor crossings, the Liberals did not have the numbers needed to push controversial legislation through Parliament on their own.
The MPs who crossed the floor handed the government the votes it needed, and Bill C-22 is one of the first major examples of what that ...

According to Brotzel and Crosby courtesy of Rod Bell, Premier Smith is going to announce Danielle bucks this afternoon. I would prefer they save it but the unions would go on a tirade so better money back to Albertans and keep the gas tax as summer is here and the tourists from other provinces can subsidize us for a change. If oil is over the magic number next quarter then lower the gas tax. Thoughts?
BREAKING NEWS - $100.00 per person in household July 1. I am not sure if that is better than gas tax break for majority.
