No one can blame me. I have warned and warned. I suffered for speaking the truth while the Creepy Ones milked the system. We spend as much on our policing in Canada than our military.

The collapse is not an accident and it was not unforeseen.



Canada's unemployment ‌rate rose to a six-month high of 6.9 per cent in April as the economy lost 18,000 jobs, Statistics Canada data showed on Friday, indicating a continued weakness in the labour market which has struggled in the face of U.S. tariffs and trade uncertainty.

While Canada has added 67,000 jobs since April 2025, since the start of this year it has lost a cumulative 112,000.

Last month's loss means Canada has lost jobs in three out of the four months so far this year, showing a rocky start for the labour market in 2026, according to CIBC economist Andrew Grantham.

The drop was concentrated in full-time jobs, which lost a net of ‌46,700 people
