What’s happening inside the Conservative Party under Pierre Poilievre isn’t normal turbulence. It’s institutional decay disguised as discipline. It's a flashing red light signaling rot, with a party on the brink of combustion.

This isn't a political party; it's a cult. #cdnpoli

Dear Prime Minister,

May I propose a budget amendment, to pay relocation and revocation of citizenship costs, to move to the usamerica, of Canadians who support Trump.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Wading into constitutional exclusive provincial jurisdiction is a fatal venture as the Trudeau/Singh tandem found out. Health is exclusive provincial/territorial responsibility and not subservient to the federal government.
The budget.

It puts $5 billion into “health infrastructure,” which sounds like healthcare funding. But is it?

My breakdown for Canada Healthwatch looks at what’s new, what’s missing, and why health is now being framed as infrastructure.

Mark Carney’s plan is not about nationalism or ideology; it’s about ownership with purpose. It’s the idea that a country as rich and resourceful as Canada should act like it knows what it’s worth.

If we continue to give away our inheritance, our children will inherit the bills.
