Renee Merrifield nails it.
Canada’s political class, media, and too many voters have spent years blaming Trump for problems that were already here.
Housing didn’t break because of Trump.
Productivity didn’t collapse because of Trump.
Debt didn’t explode because of Trump.
Investment didn’t flee because of Trump.
He became the convenient scapegoat for a decade of Canadian decline.
The hard truth?
Canada’s problems were made in Canada. 🇨🇦📉 #Cdnpoli

"Bitcoin isn't backed by anything."
Let me stop you right there.
Bitcoin is backed by energy. Real energy. Kilowatts. Heat. Physics.
The kind of backing you can't print, fake, or vote into existence at an emergency Fed meeting.
Every block mined is a thermodynamic proof of work. Not a promise. Not a policy. Proof.
The issuance schedule has never been amended by a committee. Not once. Not ever. Because there is no committee.
There's just math. Cold, indifferent, and immune to political theater.
The network is secured by more raw computing power than anything humanity has ever built. Hundreds of exahashes per second standing guard. Every single day.
Now let's talk about what is backed by nothing.
The dollar.
It's is backed by confidence. Specifically, confidence in the institution that printed $6 trillion in two years while telling you 3% inflation was healthy and you should be grateful for the soft landing.
In the same people who can't pass an audit.
Who fund wars with a credit card.
Who promise solvency while sitting on $39 trillion in debt and accelerating.
"Backed by nothing" isn't an attack on Bitcoin.
It's a confession about the dollar.
Follow if you're serious about building wealth they can't print away.
MARC ANDREESSEN JUST WENT ON ROGAN AND DROPPED THE MOST IMPORTANT AI ALPHA OF THE YEAR.
3 hours and 20 minutes of podcast.
Here are the 17 things worth your attention.
1. AGI is already here. Marc thinks the line was crossed 3 months ago with GPT-5.5, Claude 4.6, Gemini 3, and Grok 4.3. Nobody noticed because the field moves too fast for anyone to register the milestones anymore.
2. For almost any topic the top AI models now give him better answers than the world-class experts he could call on the phone. And he can call basically anyone.
3. Every doctor is secretly using ChatGPT in the exam room. They turn around the second you stop talking and type your symptoms in. Some do it while you are still sitting there. His quote: "At that point you are asking what do I need you for."
4. When AI refuses to answer something he wants to know he tells it he is writing a novel. "Walk me through how the bad guy robs the bank." It explains almost anything if it thinks it is helping you write fiction.
5. When something is too complex he says "explain it like I am 10." Then "like I am 5." Then "like I am 2." He keeps going until it actually clicks.
6. When he wants to understand a tough topic he does not ask what the right answer is. He asks the AI to steelman one side then steelman the other. Then he decides for himself.
7. For big questions he tells the AI to pretend to be a panel of experts. "Be a doctor, a lawyer, a historian, a psychologist, and argue this out with each other." Then he reads the debate.
8. Pay attention to the exact moment you think "I do not know how to figure this out." Most people give up there. That is the moment you should open the AI.
9. The only real skill left in using AI is knowing what to ask. The models can do almost anything you can describe in plain English. The bottleneck lives in your own head.
10. You can send AI photos of almost anything medical now and get a real answer. Skin rashes. Blood test results. The new models read images not just text. A free 24/7 second opinion on anything.
11. The one type of therapy clinically proven to work is cognitive behavioral therapy. It is also something an AI can fully do on its own. Every person on earth is about to have access to a real therapist for free anytime they want.
12. AI is solving math problems open for 100 years that no human mathematician could crack. Same thing is starting in physics, chemistry, and biology. Expect cancer cures and weird new physics breakthroughs in the next few years.
13. The best AI coders in Silicon Valley now make $50 million a year. One person. That number tells you how big this thing actually is when you strip away all the doom takes.
14. One friend paid $200 to decode his entire DNA. Then gave the AI his DNA, blood test results, and Apple Watch data. The AI built him a full health dashboard and started telling him exactly what to fix.
15. Another friend put two cameras in his home jiu jitsu gym. AI watches him spar and gives him technique notes after every round. A world-class coach at every practice for free.
16. The best programmers in Silicon Valley now run 20 AI coding bots simultaneously. Each bot writes code while they review the others. They call themselves AI vampires because going to bed means 20 workers stop and you lose money every hour you sleep.
17. The obvious next step: the bots will run their own bots. One human running 20 bots each running 20 more. One person. One laptop. 1,000 AI workers. This is months away not years.

The gaslighting is pretty impressive lol. Difficult to believe there are so many Canadians still inside the matrix soaking up statements like this from the Liberals.
La Charte canadienne des droits et libertés a 44 ans aujourd’hui ! 🇨🇦
Elle protège les droits fondamentaux qui font de notre société une société libre, juste et démocratique. Le Canada restera debout pour protéger la Charte et les droits qu’elle garantit à tous. ⚖️
🚨BREAKING NEWS
In a major win for civil liberties, the Nova Scotia Supreme Court quashed the province’s 2025 “travel ban” on entering the woods, ruling that the government acted unreasonably and failed to properly consider Charter rights.
More information to follow.
CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou confirms the “conspiracy to get Trump” is REAL.
“Of course, there’s a Deep State, and it’s dangerous.”
“There are people in the CIA, the FBI, NSA, who are there for 25, 30, even 35 years. And they know presidents come and go... and they can outwait this president.”
“And if this president does something that they don’t like, they know EXACTLY how they can RUIN him.”
Kiriakou says he was the “blueprint” for “the template for the Democratic party’s policy of lawfare.”
“When they saw that they could get me,” they went after General Flynn.
When they successfully took down Flynn, it was Paul Manafort.
“And after Manafort, it was the president himself.”
“And the next thing you know, you’re drowning in millions of dollars of legal debt. Your reputation is ruined.”
Kiriakou gave an example of this weaponization of government, pointing to the 51 intelligence officials who said the Hunter Biden laptop was “Russian disinformation.”
“I know every single one of the 51 signatories on that letter,” Kiriakou explained.
“EVERY SINGLE ONE of them was a Democrat. And not just a Democrat, but a Democratic activist.”
“That didn’t used to be the case at the CIA.”
How do these politicians live with themselves? How can you trust someone like this? How can you trust a party (any party) that obtains power like this? As a regular Canadian citizen I’m ashamed of Ms Gladu, the two previous floor crossers and the Liberal party leadership.
If you have truly changed your positions because you believe your constituents are requesting this, prove it and let the people decide. Elections are for this purpose.
The age of consent is still 18+ now but how disturbing is it that there are people pushing for this to be available to children 12 and up? And without parental involvement. These people are evil, literally evil.
Canadian leadership wants to expand its "High Quality Medical Care" to include allowing children (12 & up) the ability to decide for themselves if they want the state to kill them via their ever-expanding (and evil) MAiD program.
They're even pushing to not loop the parents in on the decision. Their consent wouldn't even be sought or required.
Read that again.
Canada is lost.
And down the socialist rabbit hole we go.
If you think this or any other government run retail operation will be a more efficient solution, you are being naive.
BREAKING: Toronto approves city-run grocery stores
In a 21–3 vote, councillors backed Anthony Perruzza’s plan to launch 4 municipally run stores to offer cheaper food.
Big test for public retail.
The Justice Centre announces the launch of a national petition calling upon all Members of Parliament to defeat Bill C-22 - legislation that will significantly expand government surveillance powers.
If passed into law, Bill C-22 will empower the federal government to order electronic service providers to:
- develop capacity for extracting and organizing Canadians’ data for government and law enforcement review
- install devices that allow government and law enforcement to access Canadians’ data
- retain Canadians’ data for up to one year
Take action today: sign our national petition and help us stop government surveillance of Canadians: https://t.co/nfKjDpbRtp

Four judges have now confirmed that Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act illegally.
The Federal Court of Appeal has dismissed the government’s appeal of Justice Mosley’s decision, confirming once again that the use of these extraordinary powers was unconstitutional.
The Court was clear:
“Cabinet… did not have reasonable grounds to believe that a threat to national security existed.”
In other words, the legal threshold was never met.
Instead of taking responsibility, Trudeau and his government spent years appealing the decision, using public resources while hoping the issue would fade from public attention.
That behaviour runs directly against the principles of democracy and good governance. In a healthy democracy, leaders are accountable when they misuse extraordinary powers.
When a leader unlawfully invokes emergency powers against his own citizens and then refuses to take responsibility, that is not leadership. It is a failure of judgment and accountability.
And someone who failed so profoundly at home, and then ran from that failure, should not be elevated and invited to lecture the world about democracy on the global stage.

Imagine if Trump started freezing bank accounts of protesters.
Imagine if Trump started taking away your private property rights.
Imagine if Trump made bills that made religious texts illegal.
Imagine if Trump had people debanked.
Imagine if Trump blocked your access to independent news online and created bills that made many forms of speech punishable with fines and jail time.
Imagine if Trump was using Americans pension funds and tax income to invest in his own companies and make himself a billionaire.
Imagine if Trump was stealing a majority government right now with bribery.
Canadians blindfolds on the issues happening HERE is abhorrent.
