Attacking the media is undemocratic and anti-freedom of expression. Another page out of the disastrous Trump administration’s playbook. As politicians, we are never immune to criticism from the media. Poilievre should know this, since it’s the only job he’s ever had.

If you're wincing at the soaring cost of groceries, you can do 3 things: 1) STOP voting for politicians pushing carbon taxes. 2) STOP voting for politicians who are spending like a drunken frat party. 3) TELL your politicians to STOP making this worse.

Pardon? “Extremist Traveller” sounds like someone who base jumps in Rome & hang-glides the Grand Canyon. These people left Canada to join a death cult bent on world domination & now they want to “come home” at taxpayers expense. What a bizarre situation.

Trudeau has 'confidence' in RCMP to investigate Canadian extremist travellers

Environment Canada says we need a #CarbonTax of $100 per tonne to meet Paris 2030 targets. @JustinTrudeau says Canada will meet them. That'll cost an extra $26 to fill up your pick up truck. That's a roast beef & potatoes. Fill up once a week? That's an extra $1,352 per year.

If #carbontax gets jacked up to $100 per ton, that adds to cost of gas by 22 cents/litre & diesel by 27 cents/litre. It’ll cost an extra $16 to fill a minivan, extra $26 dollars to fill a gas pickup, extra $49 to fill a diesel super duty pickup truck.

This evening's announcement of a suspension of the fuel tax in Alberta is good news folks who rely on diesel... which is pretty much everyone who eats food & uses stuff! The tax suspension saves 13 cents per litre of diesel. That saves about $120 per big rig truck fill up.
