Admiral Mark Norman Prosecution – A failed $50M legal battle involving alleged political interference in a naval procurement contract.

The Liberal performance review: rushed programs, no transparency, friends get paid, costs explode, and no one is held accountable. Over a decade, this government has burned through $100B+ in waste, failed programs, insider contracts, and ethics breaches—with zero consequences—all on the backs of taxpayers while they get rich.
Primarily critiques government policy and corruption allegations, though many claims lack verification and some appear exaggerated or unsubstantiated.

The minister was probably chosen specifically because she was inept and wouldn't know what was going on in her department; that reduces the likelihood that anyone would be turned away a while longer. As Lorrie said - just like my Political Science professor pointed out almost 50 years ago - immigrants largely vote for whoever was in power when they arrived in the country. A very large percentage of the people that they bring into the country under a Liberal government are likely to vote Liberal. That's a (practically) guaranteed stream of new Liberal voters to replace the old Liberal voters who have become disillusioned by the Liberal Party's actions. It has to stop.
We need to vet EVERYONE who comes in and we shouldn't be giving them gold-plated health care until we've granted them refugee status or permanent residency and they should be told that up front so no one is shocked or feels cheated. If they know that and still come, they'll know what they're facing. If they choose not to come, they've made an informed decision.
Critiques immigration policy with conspiracy-adjacent reasoning about voter manipulation, proposes vetting reforms, and implies systemic corruption.

Trudeau lost me when he called Donald 'a very smart guy'. I'm onboard with retaliating against Trump's tariffs even if it increases prices of goods I want to buy.

It's political they want to show they are controlling immigration so it's reflected in the polls / elections it's all about that liberals don't want to lose power it's just about that
