I am Canadian, and I of course love my home. In my followings and learning of geo-politics and general life experience I can say with great certainty that Canada is in decline. I hear, read and see many fellow Canadians that agree, but for each of us that recognizes and accepts
(The 🍓🍓🍓🤣 at the end)…
Karen earns $995 today.
Before she sees a penny, roughly $533 disappears in marginal federal and provincial income tax.
She fills her tank. Another $15.75 in fuel taxes and HST.
She buys a pack of cigarettes. About $10 goes to taxes.
A $20 bottle of wine to take the edge off? Another $3+ in taxes and levies.
Dinner? $3.90 in HST.
Every single month she quietly pays HST on her phone, internet and streaming services. She pays $6,000 a year in property tax just to continue living in a home she already bought with after-tax income. Part of every insurance premium is insurance premium tax. Hidden in almost everything she buys are corporate taxes, commercial property taxes, development charges, licensing fees and tariffs that businesses simply pass along in the price.
She books a vacation. Airport Improvement Fees. Security charges. More taxes.
She invests what’s left. If it grows, she pays capital gains tax. If it pays dividends, she pays dividend tax.
Then one day Karen dies.
Her family discovers there isn’t technically a “death tax” in Canada—but her estate is treated as though she sold almost everything the moment she died. Capital gains become taxable, final income tax is due, and in Ontario her estate pays probate fees before her family receives what’s left.
Karen’s money was taxed when she earned it, taxed while she spent it, taxed while she invested it, taxed while she owned things, and taxed one final time when she died.
But don’t worry.
Karen refuses to buy American strawberries because she’s bravely protesting the tariffs the U.S. charges on their imports.
After paying roughly $687 in taxes and government fees on a $995 workday, she’s finally taking a stand against someone else’s tax policy. 🇨🇦💪
@FPVaughanIII Never happen Frank. Trump and the rest of his family is beholden to Israel and the Zionist lobby. The only way out for him is to be removed-25th amendment.
The Toronto police corruption scandal just keeps getting worse
They must be joking! The Project South police corruption scandal investigation is being headed up by a cop immersed in scandal!
You are NOT going to believe who is heading up the Project South police corruption investigation. Namely, a corrupt cop!
By way of background, Project South was jointly announced in February by the Toronto Police Service and York Regional Police.
The word “shocking” doesn’t even begin to convey the significance of the scandal.
As we reported back in the wintertime, several police officers and civilian staffers, mostly employed by the Toronto Police Service but also with Peel Regional Police, were put under investigation for guns and drug trafficking, bribery, breach of trust, and even conspiracy to commit murder!
Let us reiterate: these are police officers and civilian staffers of police forces facing numerous criminal charges. In other words, the “good guys”. Allegedly.
Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw said at the time that corruption has no place in policing and that the force is committed to leaving no stone unturned and assorted other pronouncements of Grade-A bull-shite.
But in the aftermath of all the hot air, how exactly is this initiative playing out? Especially given that Chief Demkiw promised the public a two-year anti-corruption initiative. Project South would get to the bottom of this scandal. It would re-establish trust in policing. Moving forward, the Toronto Police Service would be all about restoring accountability and transparency.
And if you believe those whoppers, we have some oceanfront property for sale in Saskatoon…
That’s because our ex-cop friend Jay Bannister, who now runs the superb MadLab Press website, found out who Chief Demkiw has appointed to run this anti-corruption unit. Namely, Superintendent Riyaz Hussein.
Who’s that, you ask?
Well for starters, Hussein is a police officer who is no stranger himself when it comes to being arrested and convicted of a crime!
Here’s the skinny: Hussein used to serve as a quasi-judge at the Toronto Police Tribunal where he was in charge of judging bad cops and even handing down sentences to those cops found guilty. All of which is quite rich because Hussein is far from squeaky clean himself.
Back in 2022, according to Oshawa court staff, Hussein pleaded guilty to driving with a blood alcohol level over .80 in connection with a crash that occurred in Pickering, Ont. Hussein, who was apparently as drunk as a skunk at the time of the accident, slammed his unmarked police cruiser into the back of a delivery truck on Highway 401. There was even an open bottle of liquor in his car – Appleton’s Rum to be precise.
When Hussein was arrested by police at the scene of the accident, one officer noted that this reprobate was so inebriated that he could barely stand up.
Hussien was later suspended with pay and, if you can believe it, was back on the job just a month later!
He was also found guilty and sentenced to a one-year driving prohibition and fined $1,560.
He was also demoted to inspector for a year. But get this: he would later be cranked up to superintendent again. Why? Nobody knows.
And the irony could not be more perverse nor profound: the police officer in charge of Project South – the investigation into police corruption – is corrupt himself!
The question arises: what the hell is Chief Demkiw thinking? Why is a convicted drunk driver investigating corrupt cops? Hussein shouldn’t even be employed as a meter maid.
And so much for accountability and disclosure! It’s a joke, albeit one without a punchline.
And this latest sordid chapter in Toronto Police history reminds us of one of our favourite Latin quotes: “Quis custodiet ipsos custodes.” Translation: “Who guards the guardians?”
@FPVaughanIII Your comment about such a tiny country running a population of over 450 million people- doesn't matter how tiny, what matters is who controls all the financial institutions. We all know who they are.
@FPVaughanIII@ldale0224@CENTCOM I am with you Frank. Iran's messaging has been consistent and straightforward. Contrary, the US messaging has been blustery and always contradictory. Iran would of surrendered a long time ago if there were any truth to US claims.
One guy flies with a Big Mac and a Diet Coke.
The other racks up a $195,400 food bill in 3 trips.
Apparently “luxury butter cups” are now an essential government expense.

“There's an observable correlation between the rise of Indian-born CEOs taking the helms at major U.S. companies and increased offshoring and outsourcing activity to India”
There is also a massive correlation to once an India CEO gets hired, H-1B visa applications skyrocket
This needs to stop
@FPVaughanIII The deep state (aka- the rich and powerful Israel) have a way in getting what they want via blackmail or pay offs. The US biggest problem is the control Israel has over them.
