Living like royalty: Governor General takes another HUGE pay raise
The governor general just took another pay raise. And you paid for it! The governor general’s salary is now just shy of $400,000. Plus, you’re paying for a bunch of other extravagant perks for the governor general. A governor general can bill you for up to $130,000 for their clothes. A former governor general can also bill taxpayers like you up to $200,000 every year for the rest of their lives and up to six months after their death. A former governor general gets a $150,000 annual taxpayer-funded pension.

Carney’s Cape Breton gun grab failure
The federal government finally launched its confiscation program with a six-week pilot project in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. The government aimed to confiscate 200 firearms during the project. It spent more than $150,00 and only collected 25 from 16 different people. That’s a clear failure. Ottawa needs to scrap this scheme.

“Taxpayers are getting SOAKED”: New report shows the cost of Ottawa’s bureaucracy
“Taxpayers are getting SOAKED.” A new report shows the massive cost of Ottawa’s bloated bureaucracy. The cost of the federal bureaucracy increased 80% in 10 years. The government added 99,000 bureaucrats in 10 years. The government rubberstamped $1.5 billion in bonuses since 2015. Average compensation per full-time federal bureaucrat is $148,000. There are 146,786 federal employees with a six-figure salary (nearly 40 per cent of the bureaucracy).

Taxpayers fight Carney’s gun grab: Taxpayer billboard in front of Parliament!
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation put up a billboard right out front of Parliament Hill and Carney’s office with this message: “Scrap the gun ban and confiscation.” Carney’s gun grab is a huge taxpayer boondoggle and it won’t make Canada safer. The government is going after law-abiding Canadians instead of going after criminals and illegal guns.

Carney REFUSES to Reverse Trudeau's Disastrous Environmental Agenda
Mark Carney says the consumer carbon tax is finished. At the same time, he wants to strengthen the industrial carbon tax. He’s also paused the federal electric vehicle mandate for review — without committing to scrap it. So is this a real break from Justin Trudeau’s environmental agenda, or the same policies under new management? A former Liberal MP and the president of Canadians for Affordable Energy joins Kris to unpack what a Carney-led Liberal government could mean in 2026.

New CRTC Rules Could Change Everything You Watch Online | Liberal Government Censorship Plan
New CRTC regulations from the Liberal government aim to apply “Canadian content” rules to online platforms like YouTube, Spotify, and Netflix. What would that mean for your online experience? Could non-CanCon content get buried, or could streaming giants leave Canada rather than comply? Host Kris Sims speaks with longtime journalist and former CRTC vice-chair Peter Menzies to break down what’s really happening.

Is Carney cranking up carbon taxes? What you need to watch out for!
It doesn’t matter what politicians label their carbon taxes, all carbon taxes make life more expensive and don’t work. Prime Minister Mark Carney’s hidden carbon tax on business is the worst of all worlds: Higher prices and fewer Canadian jobs. “It means more than a six times increase in the industrial price on carbon,” Carney said after signing the memorandum of understanding with the Alberta government. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation will keep fighting to scrap ALL carbon taxes! Sign the PETITION: Stop the hidden carbon tax on Canadian businesses: https://www.taxpayer.com/petitions/stop-the-hidden-carbon-tax-on-businesses
