It’s impossible to travel in Canada these days. Completely unaffordable. For example:

First photo: 1-bedroom condo in Canmore Alberta $1,200 CAD/night

Second photo: 2-bedroom condo in Nashville TN, $300 CAD/night. (Place I actually booked).

Wild isn’t it.

This is what the Liberal Party and the Bank of Canada did to the country.

Canada’s M2 money supply has grown +368% since January 2004, by far, the largest increase among G7 economies. (Mark Carney served as the eighth governor of the Bank of Canada from February 1, 2008, to June 1, 2013).

By comparison, the Canadian economy has expanded only +159% over the same period.

Meanwhile Canada’s population has grown by roughly +30% over the same timeframe with no other G7 country coming anywhere close to this.

💥Trump threatens massive attack on Iran

288,000 German citizens fled their own country last year (a net loss of 97,000) -Euro News.

Not only is PM Carney infatuated with praising Europe, but the Liberal government is actively following its policy lead on issues like economic intervention to deficit spending to censorship. Yet I can't find a single member of the mainstream commentariat who's offered any critical analysis.
Not a word about Europe's declining economies, sovereign debt, skyrocketing energy bills and mass immigration crisis all caused by government.
Why?

The current situation:

One of our biggest problems we have is no one believes what Trump says anymore.

This includes Iran and the citizens here in the US.

Interesting listen:

🇨🇳 China’s economic Trojan Horse already reshaped Europe.
North America is next.

Canada is holding the gate open.🇨🇦🚪

The playbook is documented:

📌 Offer subsidized EVs below market cost
📌 Promise local factories and jobs
📌 Deliver supply chain dependency instead
📌 Extract technology transfer agreements
📌 Achieve market dominance without firing a shot

Europe tried it:
🇧🇷 Brazil tried it: slave-like labour conditions. Local industry crushed.
🇩🇪 Germany tried it: auto sector hollowed out.
🇫🇷 France tried it: strategic dependency locked in.

Canada’s response in 2026:
✅ Approved 49,000 Chinese EVs
✅ Sent Joly to Beijing to encourage more
✅ Whispered to Trump it’s capped - on a hot mic
✅ Cited Brazil as the model to follow
Every country that took this deal regretted it.

Carney is selling it as innovation.
Canada is buying it as policy.

The Trojan Horse doesn’t announce itself.

It arrives looking like investment.

Finally. The shine is off @MarkJCarney.

It took another bad deal and another lie. Canadians now see, it was all an illusion. Let this be the beginning of his end.

[The Real Mr Bench @therealmrbench]

CBC gets first access to Mark Carney and Canada’s premiers.

Not one question about the Gordie Howe Bridge deal.

Not one question about Canada’s wildfire management while Canadian smoke crosses the border.

Not one demand for Carney to explain his failed negotiations.

CBC immediately makes Trump the villain again.

That is not journalism.

That is publicly funded damage control for the Liberal government.

But noticing it apparently makes you a far-right conspiracy theorist.

🚨BREAKING: Alan Dershowitz just detonated a legal hand-grenade on live TV:

“I know for a fact Epstein documents are being suppressed to protect individuals. I know the names, I know who’s suppressing them, but a judge’s order silences me. Hand to God.”

Translation:

- There is a client list.
- Judges are sealing it.
- The names are powerful enough to bend the U.S. justice system into a vault.

If the courts won’t break confidentiality for the public interest, Congress must subpoena the files, put them in the record, and let the sunlight do its job.

FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING.

FUNDSTRAT: THE CLARITY ACT NOW HAS A 60% CHANCE OF PASSING

Confidence just hit its highest point yet in this process:

- Now at 60% odds it passes, up from just 20 to 30% earlier this year
- What changed: a yield deal moved Senators Tillis and Brooks from no to yes, and Senate Banking Committee changes brought Democrats Gallego and Brooks on board
- Real political issues remain, echoing what Tom Lee has flagged, but the right people are now in the room and willing to find a way forward

[Financelot @FinanceLancelot]

The rumor has always been the Federal Reserve and President Hoover intentionally caused the collapse of 1929.

They did this by raising rates and keeping the money supply tight despite obvious signs the trade war had destroyed growth.

They "feared inflation" even while the economy was in a death spiral.

As the "conspiracy theory" goes, they collapsed the system because the banks were losing control to the private credit market.

They inflated a massive bubble allowing inflation to get out of control after massive money printing, now they're keeping global Dollar supply tight.

They allowed the bubble to get out of control so they could collapse everything. We're seeing the exact same thing today. This blockade has destroyed trade.

Everything they're doing is forcing Dollars to flow back into the United States, creating an environment of scarcity everywhere else in the world.

It's the same playbook as 1929, just with a modern twist. 🤫

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

The AI trade is diverging sharply:

The 30-day correlation between the largest US CapEx spenders and the semiconductor index, $SOX, is down to almost zero, near the lowest in at least 4.5 years.

This marks a sharp decline from the +0.78 positive correlation seen in April.

By comparison, the average correlation coefficient has been +0.60 since the start of 2022.

The divergence comes as semiconductor stocks have rallied while the largest AI infrastructure spenders have declined, and vice versa, since the beginning of June.

This tells us that investors are no longer treating AI infrastructure builders and chipmakers as one trade, as chipmakers benefit from AI demand while hyperscalers face questions over whether massive spending will generate sufficient returns.

The next phase of the AI trade will be defined by profitability, not investment.

[Dr. Leslyn Lewis @LeslynLewis]

Canada has reportedly signed the UN Cybercrime Convention.

The Liberal government should explain why there was no parliamentary or public debate on this treaty that many believe will impact on the surveillance of Canadians:

1. Why was this decision not announced publicly?
2. What changed since Canada’s earlier concerns about surveillance?
3. Will implementing legislation be required before Canada can fully ratify and implement the Convention?
4. How will Charter rights and privacy protections be safeguarded?
5. Will Parliament have the opportunity to fully examine any implementing legislation before ratification?
6. Has the government assessed the Convention’s implications for AI, cloud computing, and cross-border data governance?

These are important questions for Parliament and for Canadians.
