Canada Budget 2025
Faster Services for Veterans Canada owes a debt of gratitude to the women and men who answered the call to serve. Canada's Veterans should never have to wait unnecessarily for the services they have earned—they deserve timely, compassionate support. While recent temporary funding injections have increased processing capacity, which has enabled reductions to wait times and the backlog, Veterans Affairs Canada continues to face pressure from rising caseloads. To that end: Budget 2025 proposes to provide $184.9 million over four years, starting in 2026-27, and $40.1 million ongoing for Veterans Affairs Canada to stabilise their processing capacity for disability benefits applications and to modernise operational processes and IT infrastructure for their disability benefits program.

(2nd page) 1. Tell Canadians how big a financial mess has been made, noting a 100% increase in the deficit. 2. Scrutinize the promised accounting in the forthcoming budget. 3. Tell the truth about how deficit spending and money printing cause inflation in essentials like food and housing. The letter states that Conservatives are formally asking for the Parliamentary Budget Officer, Jason Jacques, to be appointed to a full seven-year term, citing Section 79.1(2) of the *Parliament of Canada Act*. It criticizes government spending, claiming it takes money from Canadian workers and seniors, and calls for transparency and accountability. The letter is signed by Pierre Poilievre, P.C., M.P., identified as the Leader of His Majesty’s Loyal Opposition and Canada’s Conservatives.

A formal letter from the Leader of the Opposition of Canada, dated September 21, 2025, addressed to The Right Honourable Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada, at Langevin Block, 80 Wellington St, Ottawa, Ontario. The letter criticizes the Prime Minister for allegedly doubling the federal deficit without introducing a budget, calling it the largest in Canadian history outside of COVID. It accuses the government of hiding the deficit with "crooked accounting" and lists negative outcomes, including: More empty stomachs: Citing Toronto food bank visits reaching 4 million, more than double from 2023. 86,000 job losses: After promises of job creation. The letter alleges economic mismanagement, accusing the government of dividing the budget into two parts to conceal the record deficit. It mentions the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) as a watchdog who warned this could spook financial markets. The letter expresses concern that the PM may fire the PBO when their 166-day term ends. The letter concludes by stating: “We need a Parliamentary Budget Officer now, more than ever, to:”

Who did this?
Found this on another platform.
Google AI says
The image is a satirical meme that combines elements related to Donald Trump and the movie Apocalypse Now, with a focus on a "war" on Chicago.

✍️continued on the image Alt text👇
A supposed tweet from Donald Trump stating 'I love the smell of bone spurs in the morning...' Chicago is about to find out why I dodged the draft in Vietnam.. Trump Tweet Parody: The top part of the image features a fabricated tweet from Donald Trump's account, parodying the famous line from Apocalypse Now, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning," by replacing "napalm" with "bonespurs" – a reference to Trump's deferment from the Vietnam War draft due to alleged bone spurs. "Chipocalypse Now" Image: The bottom image shows a caricature of a large man in military attire, reminiscent of Colonel Kurtz from Apocalypse Now, with helicopters flying over a city skyline resembling Chicago. The text "Chipocalypse Now" further emphasizes the parody, suggesting a "war" or confrontation related to Chicago. Context of "War on Chicago": The meme appears to be a satirical commentary on political rhetoric and discussions surrounding crime and urban issues in Chicago, framed within the context of Trump's past statements or policies.

"If Obama is sounding the alarm bell..."
🇺🇲
BREAKING: Former President Barack Obama escalates his attacks on Donald Trump as silence ceases to be an option, slamming his fascist use of troops to take over American cities. If Obama is sounding the alarm bell like this, we all need to take notice... “The erosion of basic principles like due process and the expanding use of our military on domestic soil puts the liberties of all Americans at risk, and should concern Democrats and Republicans alike,” Obama wrote on X. He posted a link to an article entitled "Trump Is Building His Own Paramilitary Force" and said that it "provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions." The article that Obama linked to correctly characterizes Trump's use of the military and police as a "response to a crisis that is completely of Trump’s own making.” There is no violent crime wave sweeping the country like Trump wants us to believe. His deployment of the National Guard to Washington, D.C. was designed solely to seize more power for himself. In reality, the city's violent crime recently hit a 30 year low. Trump is trying to get American citizens gradually used to the sight of soldiers and armored vehicles on our streets. His vision of America is a totalitarian MAGA dystopia with himself installed atop it as king for live. In a separate post, Obama slammed Republicans for "trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond." “Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around," he added. He called the current crisis an "existential threat to our democracy." Obama has endorsed California Governor Gavin Newsom's plan to redistrict his state to add blue seats to balance out the Republican-leaning seats that MAGA Governor Greg Abbott is ramming through in Texas. Our democracy is on the line right now. Obama is ready to fight, are you?

Post from profsaunder.bsky.social- To underscore how connected this Euroleader squad intervention is to the Trump occupation of DC, in this Oval Office session with Zelensky, Trump has already (1) implied that in 3.5 years if the US is in a war, no election; and (2) brought up the DC occupation as a great 4-day turnaround. Reply from rogeliog.bsky.social z What do you mean how connected they are? DC has nothing to do with their coming here Comment from jscottcory@bsky.social- It has everything to do with that. The European leaders recognize Trump and the US are bad faith partners. Trump set this up to cut Zelenskyy and Ukraine off at the knees with a "security guarantee" if Ukraine ceded territory to Russia. He bullied Mayor Bowser into ceding control of DC's police. The European leaders' presence said to Trump "we know your game, we know Putin, and we trust neither of you. We stand with Ukraine and Zelenskyy.

This will be my only post on the subject. I see we've reached the Disinformation stage of the Ignoring me didn't work. Saying "mean" things to/about me didn't work. So now they're twisting or making stuff up about me and my campaign. Yes, I've seen it. No, I don't care. However, that does say a lot about an individual who wants to be a Leader, yet cannot win on his own merits; not without all sorts of borderline legal tomfoolery. I'll leave the decision of what's legal and what's not up to Elections Canada and the RCMP. I am not here for my own ego, or ambitions. I am here because my neighbours deserve a Voice in Parliament. I could not sit and watch the further decay of our democracy without stepping up. He was supposed to just be able to just walk in, and use our riding as a tool for his career. We've instead made him work for it. So if you have not yet voted, take a moment to remember that if you always do what you've always done, then you'll always get what you've always gotten.

Image shows burning forest and a message- ⚠️ Alert for Manitoba! ⭐️ If you see any bears or other wildlife that appear injured or orphaned please call the Manitoba TIP line asap, answered 24/7; 1-800-782-0076. There are over 1.5 million hectares burnt in Manitoba with numerous fires out of control still. Lots of smoke being put up in the atmosphere. Before anyone blames Canada, there are only so many resources available. The fires are extremely remote as well. Assistance is hard to come by since everyone available to help is also dealing with their own fires. 🙏

Did Pierre Poilievre got a security clearance yet?
#PierrePoilievreIsLyingToYou
Pierre Poilievre poated: No oil pipelines, no LNG plants, no road to Ring of Fire—all Prime Minister Carney has done is hold meetings, set up new bureaucratic offices & talk. Enough talk. Where is the action? REPLY by Rod Wuetherick: You and your government have had many years to prove yourselves. But you especially, sir, have had 20+ years to do something notable for Canada, swing a deal, solve a crisis, anything. What have you done? Mark Carney has been a politician for the first time in his life for five months. You should say that twice to yourself so you completly understand. In five months, he has passed several bills, whether you agree with them or not, and is negotiating with a volatile US that has gone absolutely rogue on its trading partners.
