Government corporate welfare increased by 142% between 2019 and 2024, reaching $87.7 billion in 2024
VANCOUVER—Canada has experienced a substantial, long-term increase in federal and provincial government spending on corporate welfare in recent years, culminating with $87.7 billion in spending in 2024, according to a new study published by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank.
“Despite their current prevalence in Canada, research has consistently shown that corporate welfare is largely wasteful and generally fails to achieve its stated goals,” said Alex Whalen, director of the Atlantic Canada Prosperity Initiative at the Fraser Institute and co-author of Eliminating Corporate Subsidies in Canada: An Opportunity to Boost Growth.

They are trying to deceive us
The main news of recent months for all supporters of freedom should be the EU's attempts to establish total control over the internet. France's parliament has approved a landmark law banning social media for children under 15 and enforcing mandatory age verification via ID. European officials and the media attempt to frame such tightening of controls as a move to ensure citizen safety. What they fail to report, however, is the complete elimination of anonymity and the linking of all online activity and private correspondence to official identity records.

It’s Seriously Time to Start Prosecuting Democratic Mayors And Governors
We are way past the time when the governors and mayors of blue states and cities should be held responsible for their actions, inactions, and very often both. Sadly, the justice system is littered with liberal lawyers, judges, and other officials who have stood in the way of such prosecutions, not to mention the MSM who either ignore, distort, or lie about the truth when a Democrat is involved.
Case in point, over the last 18 months, Gavin Newsom, the slick weasel who happens to be the governor of California, has wasted another $19 million of the taxpayers' money filing not one, but 82 lawsuits against President Trump. All the while still pursuing a spectacularly expensive boondoggle that he knew and admitted would never come to fruition.

Senate speaker caught globetrotting on taxpayers' dime
The Speaker of the Senate, Raymonde Gagné, and her entourage spent nearly $900,000 on international travel in the three years since she was appointed to the role, according to the government’s financial disclosure records reviewed by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
“It’s hard to imagine why an unelected senator should be travelling anywhere outside of the country on taxpayers’ dime, so Gagné billing taxpayers almost $1 million to fly around the world is completely unacceptable,” said Franco Terrazzano, CTF Federal Director. “Prime Minister Mark Carney needs to hold Gagné accountable and make sure senators aren’t globetrotting on the taxpayer credit card.”

One Gaza Palestinian. $547M Fraud
-- Daniel Greenfield/Sultan Knish
In 1992, Khaled Ahmed Satary arrived in the United States on a student visa. Even though student visas are only supposed to be temporary, the Gaza ‘Palestinian’ Muslim would not leave the country, not even when the government began trying to deport him in 2008 after he spent 3 years in federal prison for running a$50 millioncounterfeiting ring, not as he amassed another $547 million in health care fraud over the next decade by targeting the elderly and not until he finally went on the run in 2022 and became an international fugitive.
