    Canada 51st State

    There is still newspapers? Paper newspapers? I honestly can’t remember the last time I saw one…printed on paper I mean. Rep. David Maloney says he is preparing a resolution urging U.S. President Donald Trump, Congress, and the United States Secretary of the Interior to begin the process of...

    Canada 51st State

    I think of a couple of old phrases that have just come to mind: 1) “If you owe the bank $100,000 and are defaulting, that’s your problem…but if you owe the bank $100 million and defaulting, that’s the Banks problem.” 2) “If America sneezes, Canada catches a cold.” As of mid-2026, Canadian...

    Donald Trump: I Could Have Prevented 9/11

    So…you can find something on the Internet that’s verifiable…to conflict with the above? Verifiable by even one other person that’s not named Donald Trump? Anyway, recall America’s standing just before 9/11. It was a time of strength and optimism. The U.S. had won the Cold War and enjoyed...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    My Liberal friends? Global currencies are no longer tied to the price of gold. Canada owned 1,023 tonnes of gold in 1965, but holds zero official gold reserves because the government sold all its physical bullion between the 1960s and 2016. Your Liberal friends seem to have sold it off.😉

    Donald Trump: I Could Have Prevented 9/11

    I had this conversation with my girlfriend recently, and we both remember vividly where we were and what we were doing that morning, who we were with and what we drove at that time. It was a day where you knew that the world was changing in front of you. Anyway, back on that day 25yrs ago, when...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    There’s absolutely is not, but it’s much more than Canada’s reserve, which is zero. Canada is the fourth largest gold producer in the world, but accounts for about 6% of an annual gold production. America has a little over $1 trillion in gold in their reserve. Canada is the only G7 nation not to...

    Omnibus : 2022 Midterm Elections

    And that can ‘start’ in 4-10 years? Makes you wonder how the average Venezuelan citizen feels about this ‘deal’ Trump imposed upon them bypassing their Legislative Congress in Venezuela like he’s been bypassing the American Congress for the last year and a half or so.

    Canada 51st State

    I wonder if it’s working on the American voters outside of the Hardcore MAGA base? Who’s the target audience for this trolling and to what end? We’ve seen ‘preemptive’ coercive “retaliation” (it’s not the right term, but it fits the concept) before American/Canadian negotiation’s even...

    The Donroe Doctrine

    Following a media photo op of the aid before takeoff in Miami, stage management of the delivery continued outside Havana where Mike Hammer, the chief of mission of the US Embassy in Cuba, visited some of the first families to receive the aid; he then posted his interactions on social media.

    The Tarriff Hype.

    Well, US Texas Micky’s are now 3 L, but in ounces…but in days gone by (shrinkflation) they used to be 4 L & a bit…& that’s the one size that’s got an exemption by the US from Canada for booze?🤔 keeps getting weirder. Canadian auto parts are now hit with 25% + 50% stacked tariffs to go into...

    Omnibus : 2022 Midterm Elections

    “Holy Vote Buying Batman!!!” US President Donald Trump says he would offer every adult American a $5,000 (£3,700) payout if Republicans win both chambers of Congress in November's midterm elections – a plan that would cost more than a trillion dollars. (Current models give a 14.9% to 30%...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    The U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USCMA, is at the center of the U.S. and Canada’s trade disagreements. The trade deal, signed during Trump’s first term, allowed for the continuation of Canada’s dairy supply management system. Trump’s premise that Canada has shut out American producers is...
