  • Tumbler Ridge Update: Why Did the Police Return the Guns One Month Ago?
    Feb 13 2026

    Tumbler Ridge, BC mass shooting update: 9 dead (including the shooter), 27 injured. An 18-year-old with serious mental health issues — guns were seized by RCMP in the past, then returned after petitioning.


    Why were those firearms given back?


    We take a moment of silence for the victims and families, refuse to name the shooter, and break down what we know: long gun + modified handgun recovered, history of mental health calls, multiple RCMP visits, apprehension under Mental Health Act, no criminal charges, and guns legally returned to the household.


    RCMP press conference clip included — they’re calling the suspect “female,” but facts point to a male with severe untreated issues having access to firearms.


    Is this a gun problem, or a massive mental health and enforcement failure? We also touch on Carney’s push for more gun control (watch the clip) and the pattern: Liberals using tragedies to advance the ban agenda — just like after Nova Scotia 2020.Full episode live tonight — heavy audience chat, no guests, just real talk.

    Tumbler Ridge, BC mass shooting: 9 dead (including shooter), 27 injured. An 18-year-old with serious mental health issues — guns previously seized and returned by RCMP.


    Is this a gun crisis or a mental health failure? We take a moment of silence for the victims and families, refuse to name the shooter, and break down the facts: long gun + modified handgun used, RCMP history with the suspect, and Carney already pushing gun control harder (watch the clip).


    Do tragedies like this justify more bans on legal owners — or expose a broken mental health system?


    Special guest Dr. Charlebois joins at 7:30 PM EST for live discussion.Heavy audience chat tonight — no filter. Drop your thoughts: Gun laws or mental health funding?

  • Carney's $772K Taxpayer Travels – Is He the Only One or is This Normal
    Feb 11 2026

    Mark Carney's expenses are blowing up — $772K on in-flight catering and accommodations in just one year? $230K on a single Vatican trip with his wife and daughter? $472K on six trips since being elected? Taxpayers are furious, and rightly so.


    But here's the real question: Is Carney the only one living large on our dime... or is this just HOW OTTAWA WORKS?


    We dig into the numbers, the perks, the automatic April 1 raises (projected 4.2% this year), the $350K–$400K office budgets, 64 free flight points for family (business class), secondary residence allowances that let MPs build equity on our backs, daily per diems, hospitality budgets, and pensions indexed to inflation.


    Total taxpayer burden per backbench MP? Easily over $700,000 a year.


    Does that make sense to you?


    Here's my fix: Pay MPs the average Canadian salary (~$68,000) and let their riding decide any bonus by referendum. They work for us — let us vote on whether they deserve extra.
