NC Congressional candidate Richard Ojeda’s team is FREAKING OUT over my post where I shared a clip of him in his own words calling for a violent uprising

They’re really mad that it’s going viral

. @Ojeda4America will be very sad if it gets shared!

Carney talking to Croatian PM Andrej Plenković without realizing the mics were on saying his MP’s are only useful for votes.
Just imagine what this guy says about us behind closed doors.

@stoolpresidente Now that’s some Michigan Man loyalty

[Ted Y @TedYkema]

@jacobcotsonika Is that what they call Michigan Man loyalty?

It does make one wonder

The UK scaled back. The EU softened it. The US walked away entirely. Meanwhile Canada just elected the architect of net zero as Prime Minister… and not a single journalist is asking him why the rest of the world is moving on without us and what proof he has that any of his dystopian ideas will actually help us.

We have 11 years showing the polar opposite. Why is nobody challenging him on this?

[Ted Y @TedYkema]

No way!

So let me get this straight, the G&M thinks we should cut benefits to Canadian seniors, while still paying premium health benefits of those individuals with criminal records and those who are illegally in our country? Please help this make sense. 🤷‍♂️

@Graham_Couch Thanks for sharing. I needed a good Sparty fix

A large majority of Canadians now view the carbon tax as just a tax that makes life more unaffordable and does nothing for the environment.

Share if you agree it’s time to axe the carbon tax in 2023.

"It’s astonishing that almost no media outlet has reported on the UN’s downgrading of some of the most extreme climate scenarios that helped drive the urgency behind the Paris Climate Accord and carbon taxes around the world.

The UN-backed scientific community is now acknowledging that the planet is likely not warming as fast as some earlier worst-case projections suggested. Canadians deserve to know this, especially as major policies continue to reshape economies, energy systems, and food affordability."

You don't get to choose the President you negotiate with, you negotiate with the President the American people chose.

Sorry, but I don't make the rules.

WOW

Jasmine interviewed the US Ambassador

He said that there has been NO SERIOUS NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE US since October.

He says this IS NOT NORMAL

Why is Carney purposefully tanking our economy while over 95% of his investments,

ARE IN AMERICA!?!

I would prefer the feds pay less attention to taking guns away from Cdns who are not a threat to society & more attention to deporting members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps who killed 85 Canadian citizens and permanent residents when they shot down a civilian airliner.

“We’re not saying Canada is out of the G7,” the official said.

“But most democracies prefer to include the voters in the democracy part.”

WASHINGTON — Officials in the Trump administration say the United States is “closely monitoring developments in Canada” after what they describe as “unusual democratic innovations” taking place north of the border.

According to sources familiar with internal discussions, the topic recently surfaced during a review of G7 relations.

One senior official reportedly summarized the concern bluntly:

“The G7 is supposed to be a club of stable democracies. If that standard changes, the club might have to change too.”

The comments come as Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is widely expected to secure a majority government without holding a general election, a development that has reportedly caught the attention of several officials in Washington.

“This is fascinating,” one administration aide said. “We’re trying to understand the new Canadian model where you get a full governing mandate without the inconvenience of voters.”

Another official added that the U.S. is “carefully studying the situation.”

“For decades Canada was considered one of the most stable democracies in the world,” the aide said. “Now we’re seeing some… creative interpretations of how democratic legitimacy works.”

While no formal action has been proposed, insiders say the discussion briefly touched on the broader question of whether all current G7 members still meet the political and economic standards the group was originally built around.

“The G7 isn’t a historical society,” one official reportedly said. “It’s supposed to represent the world’s leading democracies and economies.”

When asked if Canada’s membership could eventually come into question, another source responded cautiously.

He paused.

“We’re not saying Canada is out of the G7,” the official said.

“But most democracies prefer to include the voters in the democracy part.”
