THE PAIKIN PODCAST: How should history remember the Freedom Convoy?
75Should remember that the Canadian government is very willing to break the law and use tax payer money to fund the legal process afterwards and lose. The Federal Court of Appeal recently upheld a landmark ruling: the government’s use of the Emergencies Act in 2022 was unconstitutional. This is a massive legal defeat for the feds. The court found they failed to meet the legal threshold for a "national emergency" and lacked evidence of a serious security threat. Crucially, the court ruled that freezing bank accounts without a warrant violated Section 8 Charter rights. The Liberal government used the Act as a shortcut for political convenience, the Supreme Court said its use was illegal, these court rulings are binding law. The Government will do this again at some point as they don't have to pay for 4 years of court battles to lose, you do, every taxpayer in the country paid to lose

Ontario slaps 25 per cent surcharge on electricity to U.S., warns it could go higher
25its actually not a good move. A targeted USA retaliation on energy, not electricity but fuels, can crush the entire east of Canada in days. People are not thinking.

Poll: Most wouldn't allow private households to let off fireworks
72There are multiple cities in Ontario with bans already. As a kid I had my house go up in flames because of fireworks set off down the street had landed on my roof and ignited the shingles. Ive wanted a ban ever since. FYI...shingles burn and ɓurn hot!!!These are explosives in the hands of untrained and most times not too smart individuals.

VIDEO: Doug Ford threatened to beat up a shoplifter — should you do the same?
44Until laws are changed the police will charge you and the crown will prosecute you also will also be open to civil litigation if injuries occur regardless of them being in the act of a crime. I remember a store owner being charged with kidnapping,forced confinement and assault when he tied up an armed thief. He lost everything in court battles!So if you are willing to risk criminal charges and losing your home and future then have at it. If the store security won't stop them then that tells you all you need to know about ur civilian options. A skill saw is not worth it and Ford is a fool for saying so under today's laws.

TRILLIUM TALK: Charged-up Doug Ford determined to hit back at U.S.
15Canada better be careful. All Trump has to do is slap a large tarrif on refined fuels exports and it will shut Canada down. 80% of our fuels come from the USA and there is no replacement. Can you imagine a US 25% export tarrif on gas/diesel? Then add the carbon tax increase April!Looking at well over $2.00 a liter in Ontario. It will crush our economy. Ford is playing with fire

VIDEO: Why lots of people are up in arms about the federal gun buyback program
47The podcast opening called them "assault rifles". The thumbnail photo was a previously banned weapon 30 yrs ago. The guns they banned are ranch rifles!! This is ridiculous. Canada had the toughest most restrictive rules to being with and this is all show for the uninformed.This will do nothing for crime. Criminals do register themselves or there weapons, they don care about a license or the color of the gun....like liberials. Oh look...black .308 ....ban it!

Trump terminates trade talks with Canada because of Ontario anti-tariff ads
33I just watched the full clip from Ronald Reagan and it was edited greatly and misrepresented what Reagan said.Fully cut was Reagan saying tariffs in some cases are a necessary tool, using the USA vs Japan trade war at the time as an example, to ensure trade fairness for the American people.I would be angry as well seeing the edited Ford ad with the actual address side by side.What in the world was Ford thinking? Ford is not helping Canadians one single bit with these actions or his constant anti-American rhetoric on american news channel appearances.

Violence against teachers, staff the ‘new normal’ in classrooms across Ontario
35Those saying its not the new normal IT IS the new normal and the school boards are a big part of why.They cant fail a kid anymore, they cant discipline anymore, everything is looked at with an "equity & inclusion" lens by finding a societal "reason" behind bad behavior and they integrated special needs students into regular classrooms including those with really high needs. As for parents again society has decided they are not allowed to punish anymore without having CAS up their hoop the next day.So yes its the new normal. School boarfds and teachers pushed for these changes and it backfired.

POLL: Most readers expect a purge of cannabis stores
27Tina Binda. The debate continues and has never been "debunked". And current studies and stats have only 4% of hard drug users NOT starting with marijuana as the first drug of use. Thats 96% of hard drug users starting with Marijuana use. Same as "Marijuana is safe" were as any cardiologist will tell you it is not if you have heart problems and can be fatal. Only Marijuana users are those that deny the truths and claim otherwise.

WATCH: Trump to announce so-called 'Liberation Day' tariffs
13Existing orders remain in effect. 0% on USMCA compliant goods. 25% on non compliant goods. non compliant energy 10% and a reciprocal 12% on Canada's current tariffs on USA goods .And now there are offers of Canada to drop all existing tariffs on USA goods if USA drops its tariffs. Canada should just drop its tariffs anyways on USA goods. Some are as high as 270%!!!!

THE PAIKIN PODCAST: This isn’t the time to get all nostalgic
26Those here saying "Carney has a plan" . No he doesn't. He talks a lot and says a lot but there is absolutely nothing behind it. He travels a lot, makes an announcement with nothing in it and you all eat it up on liberal state media. The propaganda and mind numbing following is astonishing. "We are going to make housing affordable and double homebuilding to 550k a year" & housing starts crash through the floor."We are going to deliver the fastest growing economy in the G7" & now we stagnant since he was elected, now ranked 4th in G7 even with his massive stimulus thrown into the budget, stimulus your kids and grandkids will pay for over decades. Why? Because Canada has the highest immigration in the G& at 3% but only a GDP of 1.5% (with stimulus in budget) making for the worst GDP per capita in the G7."I will make a deal with the USA" & cricketsLowest business investment in the G7. Lowest development in the G7.The list can go on & will get worse under the Carney's denials

POLL: Readers evenly split on Canada joining the EU
23Canadians need an education in MMT and banking economics.The US dollar is going nowhere in our lifetimes. The amount of outstanding USD denominated debt and dollar demand worldwide is in the area of 100 trillion recorded and another 65 trillion unrecorded creating an astronomical demand for the USD.The Brics and EU combined x 10 would still have nowhere near the financial power of the USA. This is why the USD is accelerated in value against all other currencies on Earth despite an increase in domestic debt.Its this lack of knowledge that has the average Canadian saying join the EU or Brics.If Canadians knew the facts, Canadians would be looking to join the USA on current and future USD demand alone.Like it or not the USA will greatly outperform the world over the next generation simply as there are not enough USD that the world owes. And the US treasury/Fed has also been pulling dollar liquidity creating more demand.. World in trouble but USA is not!
