@NelsonCarv3@ShaziGoalie Got it. I think my comment relating to reciprocation of U.S. banks allowed to operate at the same level in Canada as Canadian banks are allowed to operate in the U.S. still stands. And therefore that is still a lever in the trade war to watch.
Mark Warner, one of Canada’s best trade lawyers—and a friend—dismantles, one by one, every argument used to defend Canada’s current negotiating strategy with the United States.
A masterclass of an interview.
Watch the whole thing. Oh, and the midterms won’t make a difference...
@FBIDirectorKash I am Canadian. I have seen the internal memo circulated and completely disagree with CBC. Honestly, CBC is a complete embarrassment in my opinion.
💥@USTradeRep Jamieson Greer's tell all on why the trade talks failed. I've stitched the 17-minute video down to 7. Explosive stuff that totally refutes Carney's narrative.
1⃣ The Tuesday before there was agreement on details including all the tariff rates. Nothing was added by the 🇺🇸 in between by Trump or Lutnick. It was 🇨🇦 that demanded changes.
2⃣ The auto tariffs, including heavy trucks, was clear & agreed upon well before Friday & 🇨🇦 tried to get more at the end.
3⃣ The 🇺🇸 demanding control over who 🇨🇦 makes trade deals with is untrue. 🇺🇸 wanted protection from transshipment of steel & aluminum as spelled out in USMCA & for "Fortress North America."
4⃣ The French issue was a total non-factor & the 🇺🇸 fully respects how important this is. "Farthest thing from a red line."
5⃣ "Deals with the 🇺🇸 are signed in pencil, why would 🇨🇦 sign one?" Greer challenged Barton to name a deal the 🇺🇸 didn't honour. She quickly deflected & used 🇺🇸 tariffing 🇨🇦 as proof. 🙄
6⃣ If 🇨🇦 enacts the Sept 8 counter-tariffs, there will be retaliation. Channels are closed, up to 🇨🇦 to restart talks since they walked away. 😬
Tony Robbins argues that the reason most people fall short of their potential has nothing to do with a lack of talent or ability.
The real bottleneck is something far simpler and far more powerful.
He puts it this way: “The Holy Grail between somebody taking action or not is one word: certainty.”
You can possess massive potential and still freeze in place if you don’t truly believe your effort will deliver the outcome you want. The sequence is straightforward: potential feeds belief, belief drives action, action produces results, and those results either strengthen or weaken the original belief.
When certainty is missing, the cycle turns destructive. Doubt leads to half-hearted effort. Half hearted effort yields weak results. Those weak results then get interpreted as confirmation “See, I told you this was a waste of time. I told you this wouldn’t work.” Belief shrinks further, action shrinks further, and the downward spiral accelerates.
The same mechanism works in the opposite direction. When you generate genuine certainty that a way forward exists, your sense of what’s possible expands. You take more decisive action. Better results arrive. Those results reinforce the certainty. Momentum builds.
This is why Robbins insists certainty outranks motivation. Motivation can spark a single burst of effort. Certainty keeps you moving long after the initial excitement fades and before the proof has fully arrived.
He points to Roger Bannister as living evidence. For decades the four-minute mile was treated as a physiological barrier. The moment Bannister broke it, the barrier dissolved in people’s minds. Within two years, dozens of other runners did the same. Human physiology hadn’t suddenly improved. Only the shared belief about what was possible had changed.
That’s the real cost of treating something as impossible. You don’t merely forecast failure, you reduce the action you’re willing to take, and in doing so you manufacture the very outcome you feared.
Booking Tony Robbins today costs $1 million for a single day. this is a 21-minute tape from inside his own house, filmed over 30 years ago, where he breaks down exactly how to get anyone to say yes. same $1 million material. completely free.
this is a rare, unfiltered tape from decades before this man started charging billionaires just to be in the room with him.
people give you two excuses when they say no, he says. not enough time. not enough money. neither is true. the real reason is they don't believe it's worth it yet, and that's not a money problem, that's a state problem.
so he teaches something he calls attack and confess. instead of arguing with the objection, you confess your own. "I had a chance to go to this thing six months ago and I didn't go until two months ago," he tells the room. "I can't even imagine the time I lost." the room goes quiet. nobody argues back.
he calls it getting someone on the yes train. every small yes you get compounds into the next one, until saying no to the final ask feels harder than saying yes. by the time he asks someone to sign, he says, they've already agreed to it five times over without realizing it.
21 minutes. that's all it takes to walk away knowing the exact two moves people pay $1 million a day to learn: how to read anyone's state, and how to move it. most people spend years in sales guessing at this. he wrote it down on a flip chart in his living room in under half an hour.
a seat in that room cost $125 back then. today it's a $1 million-a-day to sit in front of him.
The tape is free right now, and the answer is in this video.
The Liberals have dug themselves into a MASSIVE burning garbage dumpster pit.
Just one year ago they said they would never allow cheap EV‘s into Canada. Given they are made using slave labor.

My son is 5 yrs old. I'll make sure that he listen to his podcast before he turns 10. No amount of schooling can teach what this guy has taught in 21 minutes.
