3 million pages of Epstein files just dropped.
The Grammys turned into a political circus.
And somewhere else in America, a dad like me was laying in bed, feeling that pit in his stomach.
Because he's realizing something:
The people we were conditioned to look up to... the celebrities, the politicians, the "elites".. even our sport's heroes...they're not coming to save us.
They all have opinions about how the rest of us should live from the other side of their guarded and gated communities.
The things we should be willing to tolerate.
They take private jets to steak dinner parties and tell you to eat the bugs.
When the Epstein files dropped, what was your first thought?
Mine was that my kids are growing up in a fallen world. And if I don't lead them, who are they going to follow?
A celebrity who bought a 2 million dollar ranch at age 17 who pretends not to understand basic property law?
A tech nerd who actively supports depopulation and forced vaccinations while attending Epstein Island?
My kids aren't old enough to understand any of this.
And it's my job to protect them from it for as long as possible.
But more importantly, it's my job to show them a different path.
It would be easier to pretend it's not happening at all.
But remaining ignorant isn't a long term strategy.
Eventually my daughter will be old enough to see the woman in a 99% naked dress on the red carpet while the world will call her "stunning and brave".
And my son will see powerful politicians making millions despite being photographed committing seemingly horrific crimes with zero consequence.
So underneath, there's a fire burning in me.
Will we let the world's falling standards become OUR standards... or draw a line in the sand?
The institutions we grew up trusting are broken.
Bought and paid for.
The celebrities many worship are at best, misguided by social pressure and at worst corrupted themselves.
If you're waiting for someone else to set the standard for your family you're going to be waiting forever.
Your kids don't need another influencer. They need YOU.
But only if you'll actually lead them.
When it's unpopular or uncomfortable.
Even when society is pushing them in the opposite direction.
They need parents who aren't too exhausted, checked out and plugged in.
You can't be the example your family needs if you're 50 pounds overweight, dependent on medications, and running on whatever fumes you have left.
You can't protect your kids from a broken world if you can't get your own health in order.
Every day our kids are being fed messages:
That integrity is optional
That feelings matter more than reality
That health is someone else's responsibility
And every day, you have a choice:
Let the noise in. Or build something stronger.
I'm talking about establishing a foundation in your family and in YOURSELF so strong that the chaos doesn't shake you.
Your health is that foundation for everything else.
Your marriage. Your parenting. Your leadership. Your legacy.
You can't pour from an empty cup. And right now, too many are running on empty.
The system isn't going to save you.
The same system that let Epstein operate for years.
The only way out is to take radical ownership of your health, your family, and your standards.
So here's my challenge.
To myself and others.
Stop waiting for the world to get better.
Start building something better in your own home.
Get your health in order.
Be present.
Set the standard.
Show your kids what integrity looks like.
The Epstein files will fade from the news again.
The Grammy drama will be forgotten by next week.
It will be replaced by the next "current thing"
The world is falling. Your family is watching.
The only question that matters is what are you going to do about it?
By means of this message, I hereby tender my resignation as cohost from Canada Talks Tonight. After 4 years of being a part of the CTT Community, I’ve had the pleasure and privilege of talking to thousands and thousands of Canadians from across Canada over the years, as well as being co-pilot to the best host on X spaces, Mr. Joe Rampart.
Unfortunately, Canada has turned its back on me and my fellow Canadians.
Specifically, Canadians that live in Alberta and Western Canada.
For reasons unknown, Canadians living and working outside of Western Canada do not realize the damage Ottawa and our legacy federal political parties have intentionally caused and continue to inflict on all Canadians.
Our youth have a limited future due to 158 years of policy results, if any future at all. Massive debt costing over $1 billion each week in interest payments with no path to balance in sight. More taxpayer money is spent on servicing the national debt than the cost of all Federal Health Transfers to each province ( $2 billion more is spent on interest payments each year ).
Combine this with a 90% increase in food bank use, thousands of Canadians dying each year on healthcare wait lists due to millions of mass unvetted immigrants piled on top of us, resulting in six million Canadians without a family doctor. The additional cost to taxpayers to house, feed and provide healthcare to the penny-less unvetted migrants is in the billions, adding to the national debt, costing Canadian taxpayers more money, their health, or their lives in some cases and brutal inhuman extended wait times for healthcare, as they are forced to suffer and wait. Meanwhile, the government offers Canadian citizens and our Canadian Veterans MAID as a pressure relief valve as millions more migrants continue to pile in each year. All at the hand of the federal government.
A revolving door of repeat violent offenders being set loose the same day they are arrested by law enforcement, drug/gun/human traffickers operating within Canada laundering their money in our housing market, banks and casinos with the full blessing and protection of the Federal Government, housing costs doubled, energy and food cost increases, as all of this hits each civic municipality causing property tax increases for increased policing budgets ( carbon tax paid by police, fire departments and public transportation adds another layer to property tax increases ) and higher insurance rates for every Canadian.
As a result, I can no longer stand idly by and tolerate the vicious, constant abuse from parliament in Ottawa as our nation is sold out by the criminals in the House of Commons. We pay our Members of Parliament an overly generous yearly salary, including expense accounts, that they do not deserve, in addition to not having a vote on their pay or pay raises based on performance.
My fellow Canadians, we live in a dictatorship wearing a mask of democracy.
Why do I say that?
1.Everything is captured due to government appointments. Senate, Judges, RCMP Commissioner, to ensure all MP’s remain above the law no matter the crimes they commit or how much taxpayer money they steal.
2.Political Power is centralized by design and will remain that way. Promises of proportional representation are used as election manipulation to get elected.
3.Intentional dismantling of national security at our ports via CBSA cuts, making space for drug/gun/human trafficking who now guarantee delivery and export of their deadly products.
4.Laws designed to protect criminals while hindering law enforcement to keep Canadian communities safe.
5.CSIS intelligence sharing is limited to the government ( PM and Minister of National Security only ) preventing law enforcement from being informed of who the bad actors are, and preventing law enforcement from keeping Canadians safe. The federal government willfully jeopardizes our national security. 1/2
YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!
President Trump and Prime Minister Carney are now great friends who respect each other very deeply.
Kindly return your elbows to the lowered position, and await further instructions from your Government.
Thank you.
@MarkJCarney Wait a minute.... didn't you announce to Canada that our relationship with the US is over? Why the change of heart? Was that a lie? Why would you meet with someone if you declared the relationship over??
Remember the rules of Canada.
Quebec asserts itself and is recognized as standing up for provincial sovereignty, while the federal government falls over itself for them.
Western Canadians assert themselves, they are considered selfish assholes.
Liberals then: *Suspend parliament because their guy is polling at 18%, fire Ruby and Arya, drop in a central banker from UK to compete against his godson's mother*
Now: "ITS NOT FAIR THAT PIERRE CAN RUN IN A BYELECTION"
Yeah, sorry, fair is LONG gone.
Carney kicked a long time Liberal MP out of his seat in Nepean so that he could run there. He didn't give the Liberal MP a choice. A Conservative MP is voluntarily stepping aside so that Poilievre can run in that riding. See the difference? Don't like it? Good. Makes my day.
There’s been some people asking me why it’s only elected Conservatives publicly supporting @PierrePoilievre. Let’s clear that up.
I’m proud to have ran under Pierre as our leader, who brought in new voices and people into the Conservative movement. I think I speak for many that the gains we saw and the reinvigorated Conservative family was because of his leadership. Going forward, if there’s one individual that will listen, engage and work harder to bring home the victory next time, it’s Pierre. It’s in his DNA.
He has my full support!
