Friends from Toronto sent me this. Apparently, this was seen on the 401 heading south this past week.

Wake up Canada.

Starmer, Macron, and Carney are simultaneously coming for our right to free speech.

It's not a coincidence.

It's not about the kids.

It will likely take 10 or 20 years for Canada to recover economically from the breathtaking stupidity of Guilbeault & Trudeau

Let's hope we never forget or forgive their betrayal of their Country on the alter of Climate Insanity

For the record.

No More Free Ride for Canada
The pause of the Permanent Joint Board on Defence is not just a bureaucratic squabble; it is Washington’s opening move in a larger strategic game is to force Canada out of its free‑rider equilibrium.

For 86 years, the board has been the institutional expression of Canada’s privileged status under the American security umbrella, a quiet assurance that Ottawa would always have a seat at the table when North America’s defence was planned. Putting it on ice is how the United States turns that privilege into leverage.

The strategic game is simple. The United States wants Canada to undergo a structural adjustment that Canadian politics has spent decades avoiding: higher, sustained defence spending; faster delivery of real capabilities; and a serious industrial base anchored in energy and critical minerals.

By pausing the PJBD rather than gutting NORAD or daily operational cooperation, Washington creates a reversible but highly visible penalty. The message is: the shield stays, for now, but the status, influence, and symbolism that Canadian elites prize are conditional on Ottawa finally behaving like a hard power rather than a moralizing stakeholder.

Mark Carney has, belatedly, read this room. He knows a world of Iranian missile swarms, Russian attrition wars, and Chinese naval expansion will not indulge a G7 country that treats 2 percent of GDP on defence as heroic while treating its vast resource endowment as something to be constrained rather than exploited.

The problem is that most of Canada’s political class, and the majority of its public, have not caught up. They still act as if the post WWII rules based era lives coupled with geography, good intentions, and ESG‑branded virtue restraint on resource development are a strategy that is sustainable.

In that context, the PJBD pause is best understood as a forcing mechanism. It is designed to make clear that Canada must choose: either adapt, by rapidly ramping up defence spending, rapidly developing and processing its natural resources as strategic assets, and embedding itself more deeply in U.S. planning and production, or accept a future as a protected but marginal player, lecturing from the sidelines while others set the terms.

The strategic game is to end Canada’s era of cost‑free virtue and make hard power, not slogans, the price of continued privilege. No one should be surprised.

Tonight the Boston Bruins are playing the Buffalo Sabres in Buffalo.

Two American teams.

Buffalo always has someone sing both National Anthems before their games.

When the microphone cut out the crowd took over.

This is how our American friends treat us. With respect.

This is what being classy looks like. Canadians can learn something.

Canada Is Getting A Sovereign Wealth Fund WFT? I Thought Countries With Massive Excess Income & NO DEBT Have Sovereign Wealth Funds

Norway, Saudi, UAE have these Funds because they have too much National Income from Energy Sales

Canada runs massive Deficits

I'm confused

EMBARRASSING

CTV claimed removing all taxes on gasoline would cause inflation to explode 🤯

Because of the increase in demand for gasoline

Pierre Poilievre was SHOCKED
AND I DON’T BLAME HIM

WHAT A TERRIBLE INTERVIEW CTV

NEW: Tucker Carlson states that Canada is “oppressing its own citizens” and that one could “certainly make a regime change argument about Canada.”

Anyone wonder why a high speed train plan needs to go Montreal to Quebec and be paid for by all Canadians?

Anyone wonder why feds aren’t pumping a high speed train between 2 of Canada’s largest city’s that are less than 300k apart & run past 2 huge international airports?

Darn

[RMC86 @RMC19861987]

Poilievre on Rogan was a masterclass. Filled with solutions. Common sense. Hope.
Rogan gave Poilievre an opening to slam Carney. He didn’t. Ran on his own merits. Classy.
Carney wouldn’t last 2 minutes on Rogan. It’d be a thousand “uhhs” & non-sensical word salads.
A man of the people versus global elitist.
Here’s 3 minutes on the first thing Poilievre would do as prime minister. Unleash resources / fast permitting.
