In other news, the White House may be using the Gordie Howe International Bridge—still not fully open—as leverage in broader trade negotiations, potentially to secure greater access to Canada's dairy market. If that's the case, don't expect the bridge issue to be resolved anytime soon.

The bridge was meant to symbolize the strength of the Canada–U.S. relationship. Instead, its continued closure may now reflect just how strained relations have become with our largest trading partner.

Currently, approximately $8 billion to $15 billion worth of agri-food products may cross the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor each year.

A Canadian messaged me last week.

He said: I agree with everything you post.
I cannot say any of it at work.

I asked: what would happen if you did?

He said: reported to HR. Investigated. Probably let go.

He lives in Canada.
Not China. Not Russia.
Canada.

So yes.
A Japanese account in Tokyo will keep posting.
Until he can say it himself again.

Americans, this can't be real 🎓

I read that ONE year of US college
can cost more than $50,000.

In Japan, even private university
is a fraction of that.

Is $200,000 for a degree actually normal??
How does anyone afford it? Drop your state 😳

When CBC is worried about the Liberals ramming through legislation that looks like an authoritarian digital prison

Everyone in Canada should be concerned.

Even they cannot believe what they’re seeing

You Will Own Nothing & Be Happy: I Really Don't Believe This

Inescapable so

Canadian DOLLAR lowest it’s been in over a year. This comes AFTER Canada voted for their European PM who is a Global Banker and Economist 😅

[Ryan Gerritsen🇨🇦🇳🇱 @ryangerritsen]

Elizabeth May making it known that she along with every opposition party opposed Bill C-22 due to privacy & constitutional concerns while the Liberals pushed through the amendments without any discussion or debate. I don’t often agree with May, but she does have her moments where I can appreciate her voice & standing up for what’s right during these moments.

[Just me - Jamie @JustMeJamie64]

When I start agreeing with Elizabeth May, I know Canada is really in trouble!!

[The Food Professor @FoodProfessor]

BREAKING: Canada has imposed a 10% tariff on canned vegetable imports for up to 200 days.

It signals a new tone in global trade policy: when in doubt, impose tariffs.

The Great Scam

After what @GadSaad posted yesterday, something I had no idea existed... an "Exit Tax" I did some digging.
This is what I found.

Canada's departure tax is one of the biggest scam taxes on the books. Apparently when you leave the country, the government treats you as if you sold every investment you own, even if you sold nothing.

You get hit with a tax bill on money you never touched, never withdrew, never spent. They literally invented a fake sale to justify taking your money.

Here's what makes it even worse. The stocks they're taxing? Those are foreign companies. Apple, Samsung, whatever you hold, those grew because of what those businesses did in their own countries, their own markets, with their own workers.

Canada had absolutely nothing to do with it. Zero. But they still want a cut just because you happened to live here while you owned them. They did nothing and still want to be paid like they did.

And before 1996 this didn't even exist the way it does now. Chrétien's government expanded it that year and buried it in section 128.1(4)(b) of the Income Tax Act like they hoped nobody would notice. Italy doesn't do this. Portugal doesn't. Belgium, Switzerland, the UK, none of them pull this shit.

You paid income tax every year. You paid sales tax. Property tax. You held up your end of the deal the whole damn time. And when you decide to go live somewhere else, they hit you with a bill for money that was never real to begin with.

Canada under any Liberal is a Scam!

[The Epoch Times Canada @EpochTimesCan]

Canada is changing, but is it for the better?
Your perspective matters. Take the Poll.

[David T.S. Fraser @privacylawyer]

An absolutely shameful statement by Steven MacKinnon. Every organization with a long track record of expert commentary on the rule of law in Canada condemned the bill.

"Liberals dismiss ‘tinfoil hat’ privacy fears as lawful access bill passes"

[Sam Cooper @scoopercooper]

This is contempt for Canadians, and also for the Liberal subsidized media. It deserves protest and rebuke.

[Gad Saad @GadSaad]

Apparently, I lack empathy for not wanting the government to take a huge chunk of my amassed funds upon departing. This is why I wrote chapter 7 of Suicidal Empathy.

[Mario Zelaya @mario4thenorth]

Gad just learned about the Canadian “exit tax.”

It’s very real.

It’s one of the reasons our brain drain isn’t bigger than what it already is.

It’s a form of entrapment.

There are successful entrepreneurs who have highly profitable businesses, that do not leave because their business would be taxed as though it was sold, a deemed disposition, at fair market value, but they don’t have the money to pay the tax on it.

Think of it as an acquisition happening, but with you getting no money, and instead a tax bill as though you made a captain gain (profit) on selling your business.

It’s like the mafia.

You can’t leave without paying a price.

[Andrea 🇨🇦 @ZebraCwbCnd]

@mario4thenorth It's just like Hotel California: "You can check out any time you like,
But you can never leave!"
