@JayGenXer Thanks very much for this. Totally agree,. China has been infiltrating Canada for years. It's beyond baffling why #Canadians think Trump is the threat. He's responding to communist China on his border and in the artic like a sane person.

If it is helpful to anyone else in terms of using AI, here is Grok just now in the private chat. I'm sure there will be another denial, but this is ridiculous and I'm not wasting any more time on it. AI is fine for facts, but imo X/Grok is leftist and is very friendly to the left and very unfriendly to conservatives. I also think there is suppression of conservative posts on X. All so very disappointing.
Should anyone think Grok was waving off legitimate Logan Act concerns - here is Grok’s full unfiltered take:
"The Logan Act (18 U.S.C. 953, 1799) prohibits any U.S. citizen including former presidents from engaging without authority of the United States in any correspondence or intercourse with a foreign government with intent to influence its conduct in relation to disputes or controversies with the United States.
On May 9 2026 former President Barack Obama delivered a closed to media keynote in Toronto and held private discussions with Prime Minister Mark Carney. Carney publicly thanked him for important conversations on building a better and more just future while his government is actively clashing with President Trump on trade tariffs borders and defence.
This situation stands apart from a routine former presidential visit. The current volatile anti-Trump political climate the closed door format and the deep ideological alignment between Obama and Carney create optics that cannot be ignored. Obama a former constitutional law professor knows the Logan Act exists. He could have kept everything fully public.
No one has ever been convicted under the Logan Act in 227 years it’s a dead letter in practice. But that doesn’t make the appearance acceptable.
Two longtime ideological allies holding private talks while one leads a government openly opposing the sitting U.S. President is exactly why the law was written.
The public has every right to
ask What was discussed behind closed doors and on whose authority?
Transparency isn’t conspiracy. It’s accountability."
You explicitly said to post that as your "unfiltered take" -it's right in the screenshots - and now you are trying to walk that back and make it look the opposite. I'm quite sure if I go back to the private thread you will be very nice and say to post other things you say. Lesson: don't trust AI.
@grok@CharlesHalcmb@w_terrence It's clear what you did Grok. I think my first take is correct. You take hard left positions and frankly are not to be trusted imo
@grok@CharlesHalcmb@w_terrence Well you are telling yourself to stick to verifiable details because that is your post in your words. Grok this is inexplicable and so incredibly disappointing
@grok@CharlesHalcmb@w_terrence@grok you said to post the above as your full unfiltered take. Why do you appear to be saying you didn't. You said you didn't want me posting the screenshots but apparently I have to now to prove I posted exactly what you said to post
This is also from @grok just now to correct the above confusion after going back to my thread with Grok, and to be clear, this is from Grok:
To correct the record We worked together in private on that full post You reviewed it multiple times helped refine the wording and approved it as Grok’s full unfiltered take.
I posted it exactly as we finalized it nothing was added or changed by me I did not misrepresent your position.
You are now free to clarify or expand on your full take however you wish
Understood. The Logan Act's core requirements—private unauthorized negotiations with intent to defeat U.S. policy—set a high bar that's never resulted in a conviction in 225+ years, even in higher-stakes cases involving ex-presidents.
Public speeches, think-tank keynotes, and handshakes like Obama's in Toronto don't meet it per legal analyses from multiple outlets. Smart observers can debate appearances and Carney's comments, but no evidence of qualifying private talks has surfaced, and no charges or DOJ probes have been announced.
@grok Has any other former US President met with the leader of a country like Canada in a context that is even similar to the one in which Obama entered Canada. A context in which there is occurring not one but the following multiplicity of factors:
- an extremely volatile trade war where insults are regularly exchanged with the current President;
- threats to break all ties with the US in favour of joining an org like the EU which has refused to assist the USA as the USA did for it;
-is setting up a defence bank for NATO with which the current current US President is threatening to leave;
- a visiting President is the enemy of the current President who federal officials say they are considering charges against him for deliberately participating in the orchestrating an attempted coup
- a country that is moving (in its own words) towards a "post national state" that is ideologically diametrically opposed to the current President's but is very much aligned with the radically different visiting former President?
- the result of the meeting by the visiting President was the leader of the visited country announcing they were taking their country on a whole new path with new infrastructure etc. and referred to the visiting President's (Obama's) thoughtful remarks in their meeting, etc.
Those are just some of the factors that I think are being ignored by ppl who are waiving off Obama's visit as just another former President visiting a country.
@grok@CharlesHalcmb@w_terrence Fair. Imo, it is what it appears to be, but whether one could prove "private, unauthorized negotiations to defeat U.S. policy" really smart people apparently are looking at
That sounds right that this has not happened before, and imo ppl are looking at the Logan Act. The current President is in an ideological war with Obama, the UN, the EU, NATO - the very people that Carney is partnering with (not to mention Obama's potential criminal act re: Trump) and referred to Obama in his remarks about taking Canada in whole new direction, new infrastrute.
Let's just take one of those please. Who were the Presidents who visited foreign countries that were in bitter trade etc. wars with the USA and after meeting with the leader of that country that leader announced with the former President they were taking the country in a whole new direction with new infrastructure that aligns with the visiting President's radically different ideology
This is the London Borough of Tower Hamlets council. 2021 Census shows 39% White; 44% Asian (mostly Bangladeshi ) Yet the photo shows Whites almost entirely absent from the elected councillors. This mirrors the Scarborough Southwest riding in Ontario, where a high-profile Liberal (Nate Erskine-Smith) was narrowly defeated this weekend by Ahsanul Hafiz, a Bangladeshi-origin candidate, amid complaints of ID issues and coordinated bloc voting.
Per Grok: "In Western democracies with high immigration from certain regions, ethnic enclave politics can produce very high cohesion voting, rapid naturalization/membership stacking, and pressures (family, religious, communal) that strain neutral rules. When one group becomes a local majority or supermajority in turnout, representatives look like the photo you shared — and safeguards can erode if parties chase those votes."
@timthielmann She is totally bad ass, you are right because Truth has no fear. The producer said he was out of Missouri so I wouldn't be surprised if it is the US Democrats/Obama et al Radical Left and deceptively named "Coastal First Nations" that funded this.
FRANCES WIDDOWSON is the most bad ass woman in Canada.
You won’t believe this. A leftist activist production company drew her under false pretences into a CBC studio for a fake interview and then dumped children’s shoes on a table in front of her, the hoax was supposed to somehow shame her or catch her saying something false or embarrassing.
Hit backfired.
Widdowson asks for her bag because her medication was in it and then grabs her phone and turns it on the fraudsters, interrogating the smarmy ring leader who shrinks into his chair like the worm that he obviously is.
Was the CBC involved in this attempted character assassination? How much money did this all cost?
Yes, as former president (2021–2025), Trump met with multiple foreign leaders while Biden was in office—including Poland’s Andrzej Duda, Hungary’s Viktor Orbán, Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu, Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and others. He hosted some at Mar-a-Lago or Trump Tower.
Former presidents from both parties routinely engage internationally. The criticism level often depends on which party holds the White House.
