Biden wasn't fighting nor sending soldiers to fight. He WAS complying with our security guarantee in the Budapest Memorandum by giving them the arms THEY NEED. BOTH Putin and Trump are RENEGING, and you're ON THEIR SIDE and proud to be there. 🤮3 points

The article argues that the Freedom Convoy was not an insurrection but a legitimate protest against government overreach. It refutes claims that the convoy was violent, extremist, or attempted to overthrow the government, highlighting inconsistencies in media and political narratives. The author criticizes the use of emergency powers, freezing of bank accounts, and the treatment of convoy leaders like Tamara Lich and Chris Barber, calling it an authoritarian overreach. The piece also challenges accusations of foreign funding, Nazi affiliations, and business disruptions, citing legal rulings and intelligence reports that found no security threats. Ultimately, the article warns that labeling protests as insurrections sets a dangerous precedent for democracy. Read the article here: https://substack.com/home/post/p-1586304512 points

As explained by Helen Mirren on FB. the strongest thing you can do is walk away—not because you have nothing to say, but because you recognize that some people aren’t ready to listen. LIARS are never ready to listen. They are just here to beat you over the head with their NONSENSE and INSULTS. That is why I have 4 on ignore now.2 points

Lake Kaweah predates Newsom and Trump's time in office. It was built in 1962 for flood control and agriculture. To get the water from Lake Kaweah to LA would demand that they build an aqueduct. That takes more than a few seconds.. by the way. So releasing the water from this lake and thinking that it would affect Pacific Palisades shows a profound lack of knowledge of the geography. All this does is ensure that there will be less water available for agriculture in July and August.2 points

How do people still believe this? Who lifted a finger for Gaza? Who would have lifted a finger for Ukraine if the US had not intervened? Have you not noticed that the world does not tend to do much of anything other than issue condemnation statements via the UN? There is exactly one country aggressive enough to threaten to, and start war on behalf of other countries, and it's the very country you are pretending 'the world' will somehow keep in line. It's utter fantasy.2 points

Biden inherited a broken economy from Trump. The damage was reversed and Biden handed Trump a robust economy--which Trump seems dead set on breaking in obvious ways. Trump did promise to reverse Biden's accomplishments. The MAGA cultists probably didn't realize that meant aggressively reversing the economic prosperity as well.2 points

As long as Ukrainians have the will to fight for their freedom, they should be supported. We were supposed to protect them in exchange for nuclear disarmament. We've not lived up to that bargain. The least we can do now is to provide the conventional equipment they need to defend themselves. Freedom is not free, but it's not up to Trump to decide how much freedom is worth to another people, what sacrifices they should be willing to make. Let the Ukrainians choose the terms for themselves.2 points

And And wastes it simply to throw accusations, lies, and vague promises and no real leadership. His lame ads against Carney as 'just another Justin' and re-running Singh 'only in it for the pension' point out in spades they're incapable of adapting to any change in situations. As does his late to the bandwagon appeal to nationalism even as he copies the Republican theme of their US campaign. Loser.2 points

Stole this from Reddit. A guy gathered government financial stats and a few others and fed it into an AI asking it for an analysis of Liberal rule. Real GDP per person in 2023 was about the same as in 2014, indicating almost a decade of stagnant living standards. A persistent challenge has been Canada’s lagging productivity and innovation performance. Despite a generally educated workforce and stable institutions, the country struggles to turn that into strong productivity growth. Business investment in productive assets remains weak – economists note that non-residential investment and machinery spending have been low relative to GDP, particularly since the mid-2010s. As a result, Canada’s productivity growth rate was anemic over the last decade. In fact, the standard of living measured by output per person did not improve from 2014 to 2023.an almost unprecedented period of stagnation for a developed nation. This has implications for wages and public finances in the long run. Investors have sometimes been deterred by regulatory hurdles and uncertainty. For example, energy and resource projects (pipelines, mines) faced delays or cancellations amid environmental reviews and policy changes, prompting complaints that Canada is a difficult place to invest. Tech sector investors see promise in Canada’s talent, but startups often scale up or exit slowly; many Canadian innovations (from AI research to biotech) get developed domestically but commercialized abroad due to better financing or market conditions elsewhere. Canada still invests far less in R&D (about 1.9% of GDP) than the OECD country average of 2.7% Federal budget deficits surged under the Liberal government, especially after 2015, leading to a doubling of the national debt (from about $616 billion in 2015 to roughly $1.3 trillion by 2024) Over the past decade, housing affordability reached crisis levels. Home prices soared dramatically, far outpacing incomes. The average Canadian house price roughly doubled from 2015 to 2022, putting home ownership out of reach for many young families. Even after interest rate hikes cooled the market, prices in 2023 remained about 30% higher than pre-pandemic (April 2020) Governments introduced measures (a National Housing Strategy, first-time buyer incentives, and in B.C., taxes on foreign buyers and empty homes) but housing supply has not kept up with population growth. A surge in immigration and limited new construction have intensified competition for homes. Gasoline prices spiked, notably in 2022 when the average price reached $2.07/L (a 55% jump year-over-year) by June 2022. While global oil market swings were the main driver, carbon taxes (now adding about 17¢ per liter)also raised fuel costs. Overall, Canadians faced higher costs for essentials, and critics say government efforts have been insufficient to alleviate the cost-of-living crunch. After decades of decline, crime rates in Canada have been edging up in recent years. The overall Crime Severity Index began rising from its 2014 low point, with 2023 marking the third consecutive annual increase Violent crimes, including homicides, have increased (Canada’s homicide rate grew roughly 40–50% between 2014 and 2022) amid public concern about gang violence and random attacks. Critics have blamed certain policies for being “soft on crime.” For example, the Liberal government’s 2019 justice reforms (Bill C-75) overhauled bail rules to reduce pre-trial detention, but police and opposition figures link these changes to more repeat offenders on the streets The Liberals also repealed some mandatory minimum sentences for drug and firearm offenses in 2022, aiming to address systemic bias, but drawing fire from those who believe it undermines deterrence. Canada has grappled with a severe opioid drug crisis over the last decade. Tragically, over 50,000 Canadians have died from opioid overdoses since 2016 Healthcare services more broadly have struggled to meet demand. Canadians experience long ER wait times and difficulty accessing primary care. About one in five Canadians (roughly 6.5 million people) lack a regular family doctor or nurse practitioner a gap that widened as retiring doctors outpaced new replacements. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government has been ensnared in a few high-profile controversies. In the SNC-Lavalin affair (2019), the federal Ethics Commissioner found that Mr. Trudeau improperly influenced a justice minister in an attempt to halt the criminal prosecution of a corporation, violating conflict-of-interest rules. This incident – which led to resignations of top officials – raised concerns about political interference in the justice system. Another setback was the WE Charity scandal (2020), where the government awarded a major student grant contract to a charity with close personal ties to Trudeau’s family. It emerged that the organization had paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in speaking fees to his mother and relatives. Though the contract was cancelled and the prime minister apologized, the episode reinforced perceptions of favoritism and poor judgment in awarding government deals. These and other conflicts (such as ministers found in breach of ethics for accepting inappropriate gifts or lobbying) have dented public trust. Canada’s immigration levels reached historic highs. The Liberal government steadily increased annual permanent resident admissions, aiming for about 500,000 newcomers per year by 2025 – one of the highest per-capita immigration rates in the world. Critics argue the pace of immigration has outstripped infrastructure. Rapid population growth has added pressure on housing, healthcare, and transit systems. Canada’s commitment to alliances has also been scrutinized – NATO partners have long urged Canada to boost defense spending (Canadian defense outlays hover around 1.3% of GDP, below the 2% NATO benchmark). The Liberal government did increase military budgets modestly and deployed forces for NATO missions, but not to the level allies hoped.1 point

Hey there! My name is Kevin and I'm the President of Prime Rogue Inc - we're a Calgary-based holdings firm specializing in AI and intelligence. I am absolutely not here to sell anything and I think this is compliant with forum rules. Long-story short, I've written a piece where I argue that cutting off potash supplies to the US is our most viable pathway to balancing Trump in relation to the tariffs. The argument is that the downstream effects of a Potash cutoff would be quite catastrophic for the American farming industry. I'm finding that a lot of Canadians and Americans either don't know what potash even is or think it's too extreme. I'm wondering if I'm the one being made delirious by anger at the Yanks or if I'm in the right ballpark. My full deep-dive is linked below and I'd appreciate any thoughts!

King has become a political prisoner in Canada. Kings conservative opinions and points of view will not be tolerated here in Marxist country. King will now pay the price for daring to question or challenge the Turd dictator in Ottawa. King will now become a martyr. King is a martyr and not a felon. The past Marxist dictator in Ottawa showed his Marxist principles, and he is not in jail for what that pos has done to Canada and Canadians, and there will be no shortage of steaks on his table. His principles have made him millions of dollars at Canadians expense. You really do appear to have your priorities wrong, lefty. Yup, i am pro Trump, pro Putin, pro Musk and pro PP. Why? Because when the left wing MSM attacks and mocks anyone, like they do with those guys, anyone with an ounce of brains should be able to see and know by now that they are not the bad guys at all like the lying left wing liberal MSM likes to make them out to be. Those men mentioned above are the good guys and real conservative men. Anyone who tries to play decency, morality and uses common sense will always be attacked and mocked by the commie MSM press and liberals like you. Stop pretending that you are not a left wing liberal. You dam well are, otherwise, you would not be knocking another conservative for standing up for his rights and freedoms, like you do, lefty. 🤮1 point

If we think that the Turd dictator was bad wait until Corney, I mean Carney, becomes the next PM of Canuckistan. We ain't seen nuttin yet, pardner, if that happens. Corney has already said that he will be raising carbon taxes, and keep WOKE/DEI alive. Two things that will help make Canuckistan even worse then what it is already in years to come. This WEF shill for the globalists will do whatever the WEF tells him to do. I am sad to say that we have to hope that the conservative party wins the next election or else Canuckistan will be really phkd. Just saying. 🤢1 point

The Trump administration is now working to hunt down the terror suspects and pick up the pieces left behind by the last administration, Gabbard said during a press conference with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth at Eagle Pass, Texas. ‐----------- The Biden handlers set us back in national security and then have the cahonies to claim Tulsi is the problem.1 point

That's not the intent of carbon taxes. The point of the tax is to change our behaviour, the way taxes that reduce for example our use of tobacco will stop or slow heart or lung disease. The only way to prevent worsening AGW is to reduce our use of fossil fuels. He doesn't make climate change an issue because the climate changes all the time. The real issue is AGW. And he needs these worried voters support to win. That means he intends to virtue signal. In his case that will mean subsidizing fossil fuel companies to 'invest' in unproven, ineffective, hellishly expensive methods to make it appear as if he is controlling the climate. Of course he's not going to tax industry he's going to subsidize it and pass these costs on to you the taxpayer. And you can bet the oil companies will pass their costs onto you as well. I suppose it could be argued that his 'plan' might also incentivize people to change their behaviour and look for cheaper alternatives but at a lot more expense and with no rebates for lower income people who need the help and subsidies for wealthy people who don't. Maybe, Carney says the same thing and I would expect there'll be lots of expensive subsidies for nuclear power too. It'll still take several years largely I think because there will be resistance to relaxing the environmental and safety regulations that will unleash the nuclear industry.1 point

We have had carbon taxes for years and it has not stopped or slowed down climate change or forest fires. PP doesn't make climate change a major platform probably because it is a phony issue. Nobody can control the climate. However, he knows a lot of voters are worried about it and many still believe man can control the climate. So PP plans to stop the phony carbon tax and not put carbon taxes on industry. This will raise the standard of living for Canadians which makes a lot of sense. He will speed up the approval process for things like small nuclear reactors so instead of taking 15 years to approve a project, it should be approved in a few years.1 point

This is no hypothetical matter anymore. It was done already with F-16 given to Ukraine. We aren't talking about hypothetical risks but real and present ones.1 point

It's about way more than sending a message and even "killswitch". As the incident in Ukraine with F-16 shows there's mandatory maintenance of certain critical functions that has to happen regularly. And as facts show now, an American administration can shut it down at any time with no notice or recourse. That can disable critical functions or even the fighter as a whole, if a mandatory update was missed. Guess in the easy times we glanced over it as a necessary maintenance (and the revenue stream for the manufacturer) but now the question cannot be avoided, what if it's another hook, same effect and way easier to maintain than the "killswitch"? Just imagine a not-so-hypothetical situation, a developing crisis in the Arctics with some hostile party (guess) but they happen to be buddies with the U.S. administration and the latter wants to "deescalate". All of a sudden you have to tantalize, to lift them off with critical functions disabled or keep grounded with nothing to deter the adversary. Or if Russia attacking Baltics or Poland. What kind of brainless carelessness could justify overlooking such possibilities, given all what transpired recently? Could it be for that very reason that UK has Typhoons, France Mirages, Sweden Gripens and a coalition of Europeans, Eurofighter? A critical dependence in such matters is measured not in dollars but in percent fractions of the independence and sovereignty lost.1 point

Why would we cancel a program for the air force that is a 5th generation aircraft, that is now the cheapest and best on the market, the only NON american fighter that is worth anything is the Euro fighter which is far more expensive , and is only a 4.5 generation which it's replacement is being worked on as we speak. This has the makings of some dumb liberal decision, like our canceling our maritime helicopters contract or justins saying no he would not buy f-35 in the first place...., it would take years to pick a new fighter and get a place on the production line, at double the costs....why would that make sense.... because you don't like trump, he is going to be gone before our first F-35 aircraft is operational.1 point

The dumb fvck wants to put a 250% tariff on all dairy even thought it only applies to some items over the amount negotiated in USMCA.

Actually quoting what I said is fine. Making up what I'm saying is your problem. When you try to make the debate about what you want my point to be, rather than what I'm telling you it is, you're just arguing with yourself. Can you provide the quote where I said that? No, because It doesn't exist. Even when you're engaging in these useless word games, you're still making shit up. 🤡👌 "Backing them" doesn't mean the US will sail the 7th fleet into the Straits of Taiwan and support them in the event of an invasion. No, what's really stopping China from invading is that taking an armed-to-the-teeth mountain fortress with 1,000,000 reservists via amphibious assault would be a bloodbath - juice not worth the squeeze. I'm not ignoring it, I'm saying that it's deluded MAGA clownworld nonsense. As expected, and as we're seeing, everything Trump has done thus far has weakened Ukraine's position and strengthened Russia's. That's the reality. That's a fact, and you're left coping and rationalizing about how Trump "just wants peace". You sound just like Nationalist now. 🤣1 point
