Canada has the lowest marginal effective tax rate in the G7 for new business investment.

That’s going to drive more investment into Canada. That means more jobs, more opportunities, and a stronger economy for all.

Hey everyone

A bear was seen at the farmers market eating the bread from the table of one of the vendors. This happened in Aspen Colorado.

Gas and diesel prices are ridiculous in the Permian Basin, Lubbock, Texas - top 5 most oil in the world!!!

Everyone I talked to is furious and disgusted.

It was under $2 in Dec of 2025 in Lubbock and because of Trump’s war with Iran it is now over $4 and diesel is near $6.

Anyone else feel this was ENTIRELY to stoke the TDS?

Carney told the New York Times he had looked at the chance Donald Trump might order military action against Canada. Then he called it an extreme tail risk. Extremely unlikely. Serious enough, he says, to prepare for.

Preparing in private is the job. Saying it out loud to an American newspaper is a choice.

If Ottawa has evidence the threat got worse, say so. If it does not, explain what Canadian interest was served by putting an invasion in the public conversation while the July 2025 deal is still missing, groceries are still up, and youth unemployment is 12.9%.

A tail risk is not a strategy. It is a headline that lets everyone argue about a war that is not happening, instead of the Carney failures that is.

What is this distracting our eyes away from?

Liberal Minister Melonie Joly: “What I think is that the leader of the Parti Québécois wants to give Quebec to Donald Trump, to throw Quebec into Donald Trump’s arms, because he wants to make sure that Quebec is much weaker in the face of an America that is gaining enormous power and that wants to make its own law around the world.”

Hey Donald Trump.
Word on the street is Mark Carney dared you to come get him. Just him. Not Canadians.

[Conrad Black @ConradMBlack]

It is with great concern for some of my fellow countrymen, inching precariously toward the edge of utter lunacy, that I write this post.

Prime Minister Mark Carney this week, in an interview with the New York Times, went on record saying it would be “irresponsible” not to plan for the possible contingency of a military invasion of Canada by the United States. Unfortunately, Mr. Carney didn’t misspeak or fall victim to a cherry-picked quote taken out of context. His concern was later reiterated by Defence Minister David McGuinty and Artificial Intelligence Minister Evan Soloman.

We all know that Donald Trump has a colourful history of spouting off some truly outrageous whoppers from time to time, but even he has never disseminated something as fatuous, dangerous or dishonest as this. And while he seldom backs down from his outrageous claims, whenever he pushes the envelope too far, at least his entourage goes on damage control to walk back some of his excesses – Carney’s guys are doubling down.

Despite these idiotic statements, these are intelligent men. The odds that all three of them would simultaneously become afflicted by the same psychotic delusion is infinitesimally small. The only rational conclusion, therefore, is that they believe, or rather their polling data shows, that enough Canadians are so possessed by Trump Derangement that engaging in such asinine demagoguery is politically expedient.

Sadly, they may be right. The vast coalition of useful idiots and true believers after effectively having their intelligences insulted by their dear leader, are coming out of the woodwork to express gratitude online for the Prime Minister’s caution in preparing for all, including the most remote, contingencies. Others are retreating slightly to hold the line at the fall-back position articulated by Minister McGuinty that, this kind of paranoid delusion is perfectly normal and, “all militaries in the world spend time analyzing risk scenarios.”

I assure you, this is not normal.

Back on planet Earth, the situation is tense and acrimonious (and there is plenty of blame to go around for that), but this is not the more than two centuries of peace along the 49th parallel that followed the signing of the Treaty of Ghent in 1815 drawing to an end. Trump has imposed tariffs on $20 billion (or 2% of the $400 billion per year) of Canadian exports to the US. In other words, amid this unnecessary, escalatory, and foolish trade dispute, the United States will still purchase 200% more Canadian goods and services this year than the rest of the world combined. This situation is like a restaurant’s picky regular customer complaining about an overcooked steak to a prideful chef who, fortified in his own mind by the knowledge he cooked the steak perfectly, refuses to comp the entree. This is not the start of World War III. We are so far removed from a military incursion at our southern border that we may as well be strategizing the response to the equally plausible threat of Santa Claus leading an invasion of elves from the north.

If we woke up tomorrow in some parallel reality where the United States actually was contemplating a full-scale military campaign against Canada, with all due respect to our brave men and women in uniform, the only preparations to be made would be negotiating the terms of our unconditional surrender. Some brave and patriotic Canadians may refuse to submit and instead choose to conduct, as a matter of principle, a brutal and bloody guerilla warfare campaign against the strongest conventional and nuclear military force in the history of the world. Unfortunately, they would be in the precarious position of having to rely on our miserly European allies, or countries like Russia or China, whose recent actions have been significantly more hostile and provocative challenges to our sovereignty than the US tariffs, to supply us with weapons, and they would not remotely be adequate. It’s all so desperately preposterous.

But for the sake of argument, let’s suppose that Donald Trump was indeed the terrifying bogeyman haunting the dreams of the most extreme and hopeless sufferers of Trump Derangement Syndrome and its frightful sister affliction, Andrew Coyneism, a rare and especially acute form of tweet-induced psychotic maladjustment. Even in this scenario, why would Trump use the military to annex Canada? All he would have to do is offer Alberta statehood, liberation from transfer payments, excessive regulation and carbon taxes, carte blanche to exploit its natural resources, a generous welcome bonus in the form of a $100,000 tax credit to every adult Albertan and replace their Canadian dollars with equal amounts of US currency. They would effectively be acquiring Alberta for the knock-down bargain price of roughly 1x annual GDP.

Simultaneously, the US (including the newly acquired Alberta) would immediately cut off all trade with the rest of Canada. The net impact to Canada of this manoeuvre would be a cataclysmic economic collapse, while the newly composed United States would take a net GDP hit (loss of all trade with Canada, mostly offset by the acquisition of Alberta) of 0.8%. Next would come a full package of sanctions, a naval blockade, and when the rest of Canada became desperate enough, a Chinese belt-and-road style offtake of all of Canada’s resources at bargain prices, which by then, the Canadians would be desperate for. In the meantime, the US would revamp its immigration policy to recreate the brain-drain of the 1990s on steroids, welcoming the top 20% most productive Canadians to flee what had overnight become the third world. Harvard Alumnus Mark Carney might well be among those at the front of the line seeking this emigration opportunity, rejoining 91 percent of his own investments already located there.

There would, no doubt, be a fearsome contingent of Canadians refusing to bend or break in the face of American tyranny, and elbows would be flying up to vertiginous heights with such vigour that the Canadian healthcare system would be overwhelmed by millions of spontaneous emergency room visits of patriotic patients with dislocated shoulders.

I suspect many of you reading this are thinking to yourself that this is so completely far-fetched and absurd that, if serious, I must have lost my mind. Allow me to reassure you that while this is all bunk, it remains at least ten times more likely than the United States military executing a boots-on-the-ground invasion of Canada. Anyone who spends more than one second worrying about such an outcome should immediately proceed to the nearest sink to splash some cold water in their face and pull themselves together.

President Trump just made a packed stadium filled with 100,000 college football fans roar with an epic flyover in Air Force One. When he walked into the stadium, the crowd went insane. We will never see another President in my lifetime with this kind of cultural power.

This is exactly the energy we need to get Republicans out to vote in the midterms.

MAGA Mama ready to call ICE on Hispanic worker at Lowe's—for looking illegal.

"Do you even speak English!" she yells.
"You Mexican ass!"

"I am calling the manager!"
she screams throwing a sink.

Unfortunately for her—store manager stood up for employee and told lady to leave.

Man filming said it took all he had to remain calm and not escalate physically—but he really likes his job.

"Fire isn’t extinguished with fire. I hope she sees this video and feels ashamed."

Incident occurred inside the Lowe's Home Improvement in High Point, North Carolina.

Tony doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.

The nor’easter lashing Nantucket with wind and rain this weekend has uncovered the remains of a shipwreck along the island’s south shore.

The fragment is likely from the 19th century schooner Warren Sawyer, a wooden ship that wrecked near Miacomet Beach on December 22, 1884.

Canada is officially the laughing stock of the world.

My husband and I walk into the laundromat here in Williams, Arizona and old Vietnam army vet who noticed we are from Canada by our license plate on our vehicle said I heard that Canada thinks we're gonna invade them and then he couldn't stop laughing.

Him and a few other guys at the laundromat couldn't stop laughing honest to God

I told him a couple things that are going on in Canada like the government is taking away our guns and also how we can be charged for posting things online that are considered hate speech.

His response was get out of Canada. That's communism..

I like this, Bruce fellow.
