This post originally appeared in the Western Standard One common narrative of this election has been “The Boomers vs. Everyone Else.” Poll after poll after poll has shown Mark Carney and his band of Trudeau Liberals with big leads among Boomers — Canadians over the age of 60, or so — with younger age groups favouring Pierre … Continued
This post originally appeared in the Western Standard Well, you’ve got to hand it to Mark Carney. Though he’s only just entered politics — after years of flirting with the idea, while serving on Team Trudeau behind-the-scenes — and despite the fact that he hasn’t been elected to anything yet, he’s become well versed in the ancient … Continued
This post originally appeared in the Western Standard Cards on the table, I’m skeptical of the current state of the polling in this election.

This post originally appeared in the Western Standard The Liberals’ carbon tax ploy is utterly shameless. For years they’ve been telling us that the Carbon Tax was a hallmark of Canadian patriotism, that it was the best way to save the planet, that it was really a “price on pollution,” which would ultimately benefit the … Continued
Over the next several days you will see headline after headline proclaiming that the Carbon Tax is old news, because Mark Carney has repealed it. ‘Promises made, promises kept!’ will be the line spouted by our bought-and-paid-for media, desperate to prevent Pierre Poilievre from winning the election.

Trudeau zealously pursued and implemented … Continued
This post originally appeared in the Western Standard “Thank you, Danielle Smith!” That is what every man, woman, and child in our great nation should be shouting from the rooftops this week. Instead, our journalists, politicians, and their army of Leftist loudmouths on social media, are sticking with the story that she’s, somehow, a traitor. … Continued
This article originally appeared in True North. Last Monday, Transport Canada released a bombshell statement, announcing that the Trudeau government’s program granting a $5,000 rebate to Canadians purchasing an Electric Vehicle (EV) had run out of money and would be discontinued, “effective immediately.” This followed a prior announcement from the government of Quebec that they would be … Continued
