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. 😡
From Alberta First to Ottawa-approved — the transformation of Danielle Smith
Albertans voted for a premier who would stand between them and federal overreach. Now, she stands beside Mark Carney to sell Ottawa's expensive energy conditions.
There was Danielle Smith again, standing beside Prime Minister Mark Carney in Red Deer, smiling for the cameras as Ottawa announced a $510-million agreement for municipal water and wastewater infrastructure.
Accepting the return of Albertans’ federal tax dollars is not surrender. Premiers must negotiate, cooperate, and secure funding. But this announcement cannot be viewed in isolation. The Danielle Smith now appearing comfortably beside Carney bears little resemblance to the leader who asked Albertans to elect her.
That Danielle Smith promised confrontation. This one delivers accommodation.
During the 2023 election campaign, the UCP’s official tax announcement declared that a Smith government would work to "axe the carbon tax altogether." The same release promised a No Tax Hike Guarantee and ...

Bloody scary how China is so involved in our government…
An in-store bakery manager and Galen Weston walk into an empty bar together. (Don’t ask why.)
At that moment the average net worth of people in that room is $10.35 billion. The grocery czar (Canada’s third-richest dude) has $20.6 billion. The baker has a $120,000 RRSP and owns a house in Oshawa. And a 2008 Harley. Plus a doodle.
That’s how averages work. They don’t tell you much.
In recent days StatsCan announced that the average net worth of Canadian households just pass
