🤣🤣🤣TALK TO THE RETARD!!🤣🤣🤣

The CRA suspected that a fishing boat owner wasn’t paying proper wages to his deckhand, so they sent an agent to investigate.

The CRA agent boarded the boat and said: “I need a list of your employees and how much you pay each of them.”

The boat owner replied: “Well, there’s Clarence, my deckhand. He’s been with me for 3 years. I pay him $1,000 a week, plus free room & board."

The boat owner continued: “Then there’s the retarded guy. He works about eighteen hours a day & does roughly ninety percent of the work around here. He earns about $30 a week, pays for his own room & board, and every Saturday night I buy him a bottle of Bacardi & a dozen Budweisers so he can cope with life. He even gets to sleep with my wife once in a while.”

The CRA agent frowned and said: “That’s the guy I’d like to talk to… the mentally challenged one.”

The boat owner nodded and replied: “That would be me. What would you like to know?”

Elon Musk just proved that ownership in America is a legal fiction.

Musk: “You get taxed on what you earn, you get taxed on what you buy, and you get taxed on what you own.”

Think about what property tax actually means.

You worked for decades. Paid it off in full. The deed is in your name.

Stop paying the government its annual fee. Watch them take it and sell it to someone who will.

You never owned that house. You were leasing it from an entity you never signed a contract with.

Income tax tells the same truth in softer packaging.

The government does not take a portion of your earnings. They decide how much of your own labor you are permitted to keep.

That is not semantics. It is a confession of who the system believes your time belongs to first.

Sales tax buries itself in the receipt. Two people exchange value voluntarily. A third party who contributed nothing takes a cut simply for allowing it to happen.

Now stack all three.

Taxed when you create. Taxed when you spend. Taxed when you hold. Taxed again when you die and try to pass it to your children.

At no point in that cycle does the system recognize your output as yours.

Because money is not an abstraction. It is crystallized human lifespan.

Every dollar taxed is an hour you already lived, already bled for, already gone.

The state is not managing an economy. It is claiming dominion over time you will never get back.

And spending it on systems you never asked for and actively oppose.

The institution extracting all of it faces zero obligation to perform. A contractor who delivers nothing gets fired. A bureaucracy that burns through trillions gets a budget increase the next fiscal year.

SpaceX pays taxes to the agencies that obstruct its launches. Tesla funds the regulators drafting rules to shield its competitors.

The builders are not subsidizing government. They are financing their own friction.

The tax code is 74,000 pages long. Not because the economy demands it. Because the extraction had to be buried in enough complexity that you would stop asking who it was designed to protect.

The past belonged to the people who taxed the world.

The future belongs to the people who build it.

[Gublo🇨🇦 @Gubloinvestor]

Canada has long been known as a land of immigrants and opportunity. However, many are left wondering:

what broke Canada?

Here is a real story shared by a close friend.

My friend landed in Canada in 2015 and was offered free English coaching as part of his early settlement assistance in Saskatchewan. He joined these English lessons and noticed that he had several classmates from the African continent. Surprisingly, these classmates had been stuck at the exact same English proficiency level for three to four years. This was shocking to my friend because it was a very basic, introductory level that could easily be cleared within three months.

After befriending most of them, my friend figured out the truth. These individuals had actually been living in Canada for seven to eight years and were still studying at the exact same college. Furthermore, none of them had applied for Canadian citizenship; they all remained permanent residents.

The Loophole

The reason was simple, if you become a Canadian citizen, you no longer qualify for free language schooling. These free English programs are a benefit reserved strictly for permanent residents.

Because they shared a similar religious background, many of these families had between four and eight children. Additionally, their cultural or religious beliefs did not permit the women to work outside the home. Since the men were perpetually "in school," these families were able to claim every single government benefit available to them. They received money for:

Food and groceries
Rent assistance
Unemployment benefits
Child tax benefits

Meanwhile, our own elderly population has to keep working well past the age of 65 simply because they cannot afford to retire.

This is what broke Canada: weak government policies exploited by strong personal interests.

𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝟒𝟔𝟑 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐒. 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐄𝐈𝐏𝐓𝐒.

Every time someone trots out the Crusades to lecture Christians or the West, they leave out four centuries of history. I'm putting it back on the record.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐧 𝐈𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲

Muhammad died in 632. Within three years, Muslim armies had taken Damascus (635). The next year, Antioch (636). The year after that, the entire Holy Land (637) — the spiritual center of Christendom, gone. Armenia became the first Christian nation fully conquered (639). Egypt, the Coptic Christian power, fell two years later (641). By 650, Muslim forces had reached southern Italy and Cyprus, taking thousands of captives as "𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘴" and "𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘶𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴." Then came Spain — Muslim armies crossed from North Africa in 711 and overran most of Iberia by 715.

In roughly 80 years, Christianity lost the Middle East, North Africa, and most of the Iberian Peninsula.

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞 — 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝𝐥𝐲

This was not exploration. This was conquest. In 717, Muslim forces besieged Constantinople itself — the capital of Eastern Christendom. The siege lasted a year before they were repelled. Had it succeeded, the path into Europe would have been wide open.

In 730, they invaded France. Charles Martel stopped them at Tours. In 792, the ruler of Al-Andalus called for a second invasion of France. Repelled. In 848, a third invasion of France. Repelled again.

In 827, Muslims invaded Sicily and Italy, persecuting monks and pillaging Christian communities. Sicily would remain under Islamic rule for 250 years. In 846, they invaded Rome itself and forced the Pope to pay tribute. By 909, they had taken Sardinia.

This was relentless, coordinated, and existential.

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭

In 937, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher — built over the site Christians believe is the tomb of Christ — was burned to the ground. More churches in Jerusalem were torched alongside it. In 1009, the Church of the Resurrection was destroyed. By 1012, Al-Hakim's oppressive decrees against Christians had begun in earnest.

Christian pilgrims could no longer safely visit the sites of Christ's ministry. The holiest city in Christendom was ruled by a hostile power systematically destroying the faith itself.

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩

In 1071, Muslim Turkish forces shattered the Byzantine army at Manzikert and occupied most of Anatolia. Constantinople was now directly threatened.

In 1094, Byzantine Emperor Alexios I Komnenos sent envoys to Rome begging Western Christendom for military aid.

In 1095, Pope Urban II declared the First Crusade.

[Tom Kratman @TKratman]

From Martin Iles, reposted:

Having lived in the USA for nearly two years, I've realised something.

The USA and the remainder of the Western world are no longer aligned.

We all laugh and mock when the Americans say, "Freedom!" because we truly think we're as free as they are.

Wrong. We're not. Not even close. The laws, the mindset, and the behaviour, is totally different in this regard.

Most of all, the governments are totally different. The USA's convictions around core freedoms are on a scale we do not share.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump wins the popular vote, the electoral college, the House, and the Senate... a man who, in every other Western country, is held in open derision, if not contempt.

For these and other reasons, we are not the same.

Yet the West, including Australia, fully expect to rely on the USA for our very survival.

If the world turns bad (which will happen - only a question of time), then the whole West, without America, is toast.

So, you may ask - if we're not very aligned ideologically, then it must be that we bring something to the party militarily?

Well, no... actually... we don't matter that much militarily.

The USA has about 470 ships in its navy, including 11 aircraft carriers, 69 submarines, 75 destroyers... plus 110 new ships in the pipeline.

Australia has about 30, including 3 destroyers, 7 frigates and 7 outdated submarines. The UK does a little better, with about 60.

Meanwhile, the US has over 14,000 military aircraft. A staggering number.

Australia has 252 military aircraft. The UK has 556.

The US army has just shy of 1,000,000 uniformed personnel in its military. Australia has about 45,000.
The USA spends 3.4% ($968 billion) of its GDP on defence. Australia spends 2% ($36.4 billion). The US spends as much as the next 15 largest military-spending countries (including China) combined.

The USA has a fighting culture. The men shoot things (a lot) and hunt things, the veterans get favoured in everything from parking spots to boarding planes. A uniformed young man is thanked in the street a dozen times a day.

"Oh, the Americans and their guns!" we say, in our smug way. Yes, they have a warrior culture. We do not. We don't have to, because we're a leech on theirs.

How many young British men are willing to fight for their country? Now ask the same regarding young American men. The difference is about as wide as it could be.

Militarily, we don't offer squat.

Meanwhile, look at the way Australia works against America's interests by loving on China. China made us rich and we stay close. This is a Marxist regime with expansionist aims.

Again, you have to spend time in the USA to realise just how vast a gulf there is between us on China.

Europe, too. They let China have their way everywhere from Germany to Greenland, all the while importing Islam and sending their own people to court for saying hurty words.

Somehow, we have landed the deal of a lifetime with the USA that says, "when the baddies come, you'll save us ok?" Because we can't save ourselves.

And we live in peace. But we keep gnawing away at freedoms, keep enabling China, and get flabby and disinterested about our military because Uncle Sam's got it.

And, let's be honest, Americans are widely looked down on. To add insult to injury, we don't think that highly of our protectors.

So, the USA is finally saying "enough." I am here, I can tell you what the vibe is, and that's it. Trump is doing what people want in this regard. They're over it.

And we come across all shocked and hard done by. We behave like people with no self-insight at all.

Yes, the global alliance system is all over the place now. From America's perspective, it's about time.

And I must say, though I be a proud Australian, I am forced to agree. Something has to change.

[AnUnimportantPerson @TheUn_important]

Asylum of Slime

The thing of bile and corruption, whose substance was slime and whose breath was the perfume of graves, contemplated the world that had birthed it and croaked in a voice like bursting sores,
“How did they let it become this way? It was once such a beautiful place.”

Beyond the veil of stars and poisoned skies, it perceived another realm an orb of pale light where towers gleamed like alabaster spires and the inhabitants moved with open faces and unguarded eyes.

Drawn by that radiance as maggots are drawn to moonlight, the thing passed between the worlds.

It stood before the people and disgorged its tale: of caverns choked with filth, of cities gnawed hollow by rot, of laws dissolved into instinct and appetite. It begged, not with humility, but with the hunger of a parasite seeking warmer flesh.

They granted it shelter.

They gave it food.
They gave it a name.
They gave it a place among them.

In time, the thing confessed that it yearned for the nourishment of decay.
They brewed for it feasts from refuse and shadow.

Later, it murmured of loneliness.
They unbarred their gates.

Others came shapes vaguely akin to it, yet fouler in spirit creatures whose ethics were alien and whose customs were inimical to all that had once been held sacred.

The laws of the shining world were bent.
Then softened.
Then forgotten.

The air thickened.
The stones wept black moisture.
The towers dulled beneath an unwholesome film that no rain could cleanse.

And when the streets had become canals of ordure and the people spoke only in fearful whispers, the thing of bile and corruption gazed upon the devastation it had helped to cultivate and uttered, with genuine perplexity,

“How did they let it become this way? It was once such a beautiful place.”

Again, it tore the veil between realms.

And there, glimmering beyond the diseased heavens, it beheld another world:
its towers radiant, its streets clean, its people still unacquainted with decay.

And the thing drifted toward it,
as mold drifts toward bread.

[Rise Of Alberta @RiseOfAlberta]

Myth: “Alberta could never survive as an independent country. You’re landlocked. You’ll never get your oil to market.”

That argument sounds strong, until you actually look at the leverage Alberta already holds.

Right now, Alberta is landlocked in two ways:

Geography

Policy

We can’t change geography.

But policy? That’s entirely different.

Under Ottawa, Alberta is landlocked by federal laws, regulatory delays, political ideology, and governments openly hostile to resource development.

Even when projects are economically viable, nationally beneficial, and globally strategic, they’re blocked, delayed, or strangled in red tape.

That’s policy landlocking.

Independence removes that barrier overnight.

And here’s what most critics ignore:

Alberta isn’t powerless in the geography equation either.

Take British Columbia.

People say, “BC would never let Alberta ship oil through their province.”

Reality check:
The Lower Mainland runs on Alberta fuel.

The Trans Mountain pipeline feeds the Burnaby refinery. That refinery supplies gasoline, diesel, jet fuel — the lifeblood of Vancouver’s economy.

If Alberta fuel stopped flowing, the Lower Mainland would face shortages in roughly four days.

Airports.
Trucking.
Gas stations.
Emergency services.

This isn’t a threat. It’s economic interdependence.

BC needs Alberta energy just as much as Alberta needs Pacific access.

That’s not weakness.
That’s leverage.

Now zoom out.

The Port of Vancouver is Canada’s primary gateway to Asia. The majority of container traffic from Asia lands there and moves east by rail, through the West.

If Alberta were independent and negotiations turned hostile, Canada would suddenly face its own geographic reality:

Trade corridors are mutual.

Energy corridors are mutual.
Rail corridors are mutual.

You don’t get to say “no pipelines” while expecting uninterrupted access to ports, rail, fuel, and infrastructure.

That’s not how sovereign trade negotiations work.

Independence doesn’t isolate Alberta.

It flips the negotiating table.

Instead of pleading with Ottawa to approve infrastructure, Alberta would negotiate directly, as a sovereign energy producer that:

• Supplies fuel to western Canada
• Hosts critical rail corridors
• Produces globally demanded commodities
• Sits between Pacific ports and eastern markets
• Has the economic capacity to expand export infrastructure rapidly

The biggest shift isn’t geography.

It’s bargaining power.

Inside Canada, Alberta has limited leverage. Federal governments can ignore us because political incentives reward blocking development.

As an independent nation, Alberta would negotiate trade access from a position of strength, backed by:

• Energy security leverage
• Transit corridor leverage
• Continental trade relationships with the United States
• Strong fiscal capacity
• Global demand for oil, gas, agriculture, petrochemicals, and critical minerals

And here’s the part critics never address:

Markets want Alberta energy.
The constraint isn’t demand.
It’s federal obstruction.

Independence removes policy landlocking and replaces it with sovereign decision-making.

Would negotiations be tough? Of course.

But the idea that Alberta would have less leverage outside Canada is simply wrong.

Right now we’re landlocked by ideology.

Independence removes that barrier and turns Alberta from a politically constrained province into a strategic energy state negotiating as an equal.

We don’t lose leverage.

We gain it.

[Tamara Lich 🇨🇦 @LichTamara]

This is absolutely unacceptable in any sane world. If anything, one would presume they would be pouring over the records, holding an inquest exploring their actions and the results, and taking steps to immediately ensure there will be no more victims and getting the injured the supports and resources they need.

The VISP program was a joke, an ArriveScam 2.0 that wasted millions while doing little to help those who needed it. OXARO, ‘a customized digital operations and cloud, digital, and organization transformation consulting services company’, somehow landed a contract worth millions of dollars to administer the government vaccine injury support program. Employees later reported drinking on the job, playing video games, and watching Netflix.

They start activist groups that are not sustainable in the free market. But because they have the right politics, they hide behind the veneer of genius and success, with zero accountability.

They get rich. They have influence. They pretend to be successful entrepreneurs, media titans, philanthropists, advisors, and policy consultants. They are revered and respected by polite society.

They sit on philanthropic boards and are trustees at private schools... all while spreading their fanatical ideology like a cancer.

They smugly go from airport lounges to state-funded boondoggles to cocktail parties to TV hits, all while sneering at the hardworking people who actually pay for this charade.
