Picture this: In just one week, 80 rounds fired in a downtown core, leaving three people seriously injured.
A Jewish woman stabbed while shopping for her groceries.
A shooting forces an entire neighbourhood into lockdown.
A man injured from yet another stabbing.
A toddler, horrifically, was sexually assaulted during a break-in by a man with a prior child-sex conviction, recently released and still on probation.
A father tragically shot in the head while heroically protecting his children from a home invasion.
This isn’t a report from some distant, unstable corner of the world. This is Canada. Our streets. Our neighbourhoods. Our homes.
Hamilton. Ottawa. Calgary. Surrey. Welland. Vaughan.

These are not isolated incidents. They are not “statistics” to be brushed aside in the halls of government. They are proof that the most basic responsibility of any government: the protection of its citizens, is being neglected.
In just one week, Canadians witnessed scenes that belong in a failed state, not a G7 democracy.
Soon after, a bombshell revelation followed that should shake your faith in Prime Minister Carney’s government.
Intelligence reports confirmed that Hezbollah, a listed terrorist organization, has been running an international stolen Canadian car cartel and laundering millions of dollars through Canadian banks, money that helps finance violence and terror across the Middle East and beyond.
This is not a coincidence. It is the inevitable outcome of a government that has abandoned its duty to protect its people.
What happens when government passes “catch-and-release” bail laws, allowing dangerous criminals to return to the streets hours after committing violent crimes? The results are clear. And tragic. And blisteringly infuriating.
What happens when government weakens border security, allows snow-washing funds of terrorist and criminal networks, and fails to enforce the rule of law against terror organizations like the IRGC? Criminals and terrorists take advantage while our people pay the price.
What happens when politicians stop taking their jobs seriously? A Public Safety Minister entangled in questions about terror-financing probes. A Prime Minister who chooses political expediency over right and wrong. And a Justice Minister so out of touch that he dismisses Canadians defending themselves in their own home as “The Wild West,” while what unfolds in our streets is far worse: a full-on bloodbath that he’s too weak to stop.
This is the reality of Canada in 2025 under Mark Carney and his Liberal government.
Families see their communities degenerating before their eyes. Crime rates soar, gangs grow bolder, terror networks get rich while threatening the lives of political leaders - from Conservative Deputy Leader Melissa Lantsman to former Liberal Justice Minister Irwin Cotler.
The Liberal government prioritizes spin over solutions. The Prime Minister shrugs. And Canadians are left asking whether their leaders have abandoned them entirely.
Here is the blunt truth: no country can call itself safe, free, or democratic if its people are afraid to walk the streets, if its capital and real estate markets are conduits for terror, and if its government is mired in scandal while criminals thrive.
Canada is not yet a failed state. But it is marching down that path, led by a government that has lost control, neglects public safety, and betrays its people.
Canadians deserve better than excuses and platitudes. They deserve leaders who will restore law and order, close the loopholes that criminals exploit, secure our borders, and put victims - not criminals - at the centre of our justice system.
They deserve leaders who take their responsibilities seriously, to act decisively, and with strength.
Take a look at this plea from the York Regional Police:
“We are arresting repeat offenders over and over again. This is unacceptable. Something has to change.”
132 days. That’s how long the Prime Minister has had to pass life saving bail reform. To seek and gain the support of Parliament to secure our people, our borders, and our economy.
Enough is enough.
It’s time to stop this bloodbath.

Is it shocking that terrorist groups are money laundering through Canadian banks? No. Canadian banks have been laundering drug money since the British were flooding China with opium 150 years ago. I believe it's the Royal Bank that recently absorbed the infamous HSBC into its fold. The HSBC that was created by the British to launder their ill-gotten opium money from China and had continued their criminal laundering for the Chinese Triads and Western intelligence agencies until it recently had to pay finally pay the piper. Now a "clean" Canadian bank has taken over its operation. Our Canadian banks are as dirty as slime and Carney is one of their boys. He was the head of both the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England. And according to the CBC, that made him more qualified to be PM than Poilievre, who had spent over 20 years as a parliamentarian. I guess they were right, if Canada is not really an independent nation state but merely an adjunct of British financial imperialism - which it is. And so it will remain until Canadians wrest the power of the banksters away from them by locking them up along with the thugs committing crimes of violence on our streets.
I thought I would give Carney the benefit of settling into his job before making judgement. He has done nothing positive for Canada and its citizens including his knees down approach to negotiating with the orange man. We haven’t even had a sitting parliament. Poilievre would have put people to work laying pipeline accross Canada.
