Novak Djokovic in his documentary on why he refused the COVID vaccine:
"Because I didn't need it. Why should I get the vaccine? I'm healthy, I'm an athlete. I had corona. I had immunity. I wasn't a threat to anyone. There was no reason for me to get vaccinated. It's my freedom to choose which that fundamental right that you have as a human being on this planet — the freedom to choose — which was taken from a lot of people."
Canadians are working harder just to keep less of what they earn.
A new study found that the average Canadian family spent 42.3% of its income on taxes in 2024, more than they spent on basic necessities like food, shelter, and clothing combined.
At a time when families are struggling with the cost of living, government should be looking for ways to lower the tax burden, not make it harder for Canadians to afford the basics.
Stagflation is written all over this move today.
Gold decisively decoupling from overall equities and rising in step with oil and other hard assets.
So much for the liquidation narrative — it’s gone completely quiet now.
Don’t believe everything you read.
Metals remain supply-constrained, historically underowned relative to financial assets, and deeply undervalued in a world where neutral assets are in high demand as governments rush to build critical mineral reserves.
The defining difference from the 1970s?
A Fed with no real capacity to raise rates.
Game on for hard assets.

Witnessing crimes against humanity while Zionists claim these evil monsters have a “right” to do this because they are “God’s chosen people”. These are God’s enemies.
Absolute evil.
FBI agents have to retire at 57, air traffic controllers at 56, and pilots at 65. But somehow demented 70 and 80 year olds running the country is totally fine. Make it make sense.
The biggest issue the US is dealing with right now isn’t Iran — it’s the cost of its own debt.
Plain and simple:
The government can’t afford a war at this stage, and higher interest rates are becoming an existential threat.

Quick life lesson for all those armchair generals out there:
Look at Kiev.
That’s a city that isn’t at war.
That’s why Russia calls it a “Special Military Operation.”
Now look at Tehran.
According to Mike Johnson, the US isn’t at war with Iran.
But Tehran is being leveled nonetheless.
Russia tells the truth.
The US lies.
Russia complies with the law of war.
The US and Israel are the greatest war criminal regimes in modern history.
The lesson is concluded.
If you are in the US military you are not currently fighting for your country - you’re fighting for a small group of inhumanly rich transnational billionaires who do not believe in nation-states in the same way you do.
I’m 4th gen Army. Deprogramming is difficult, you got this!
Oman’s foreign minister says Iran agreed to “zero enriched uranium stockpiling.”
Within hours, Israel and the USA attacked them.
It was never about peace or uranium but about acting out Netanyahu's biggest bloodthirsty fantasy.
Perspective:
The last time silver traded near $65/oz was mid-December.
Back then, the 14-day RSI was pushing 80 and sentiment was euphoric.
Today, at the same price, RSI sits around 30 — and the world is panicking.
Borrowing a line from Buffett:
"Be greedy when others are fearful…"
Volatility.
We all knew it was coming — we just didn’t know exactly how it would play out.
A clear macro framework is absolutely critical to being disciplined, patient capital allocators.
With that in mind:
Gold as a percentage of global market capitalization remains around 20%.
That’s still far from the peak levels seen in prior cycles.
Very far.
I view this as a useful timing signal for where we are in the broader rebalancing from financial assets to real assets.
There are a lot of emotions in the market today.
Step back, look at the long-term chart, and plan accordingly.
These are just my views.
