If you get caught its a $10,000 fine and two years of jail time

This is how you actually "stand up for Canada" and our values

Danielle Smith for PM

[The Pleb 🇨🇦 @truckdriverpleb]

Danielle Smith is taking the third world illegal garbage dumping situation very seriously in Alberta

She is now warning newcomers if they get caught dumping they will face a $10,000 fine and jail time

Do you support this?

🚨 Sec. Scott Bessent is MIC DROPPING Canada PM Mark Carney! This man never misses.

"We've had a FREE RIDER problem with Canada. And PM Carney, after getting a verbal BEATDOWN from myself and Hegseth, said: 'Stop throwing shade to get negotiations?' Well, HE'S the one who said WE'RE AT WAR!"

"Canada had a great military. They were right there at the forefront on the beaches of D-Day, and what the Canadian government has done to the Canadian Armed Forces, if you look at the ranks of NATO spending, they are near the very BOTTOM, like they're cellar dwellers around with Spain in terms of their military spending to GDP!"

"And why is that? Because they were free riding."

"The Canadian businesses are not with the Prime Minister, the Canadian military is not with the Prime Minister."

"And, you know, he thinks that he got to office on an anti-Trump, anti-Americans, the platform, and it's not going to work out in the long term."

The trade war was never about sovereignty, writes Michael Higgins.

The Liberal government is still refusing to reveal exactly what the U.S. was asking and why Canada felt unable to accept, and Carney’s belligerent rhetoric is looking increasingly like political theatre https://t.co/tIa00FEdNj

One of the most troubling shifts in our “free and democratic” society is how quickly questioning our institutions has become confused with attacking them.

Questioning government is not anti-government.

Questioning public health is not anti-science.

Questioning the justice system is not anti-law.

Questioning the media is not anti-truth.

Questioning elected officials is not an attack. Refusing to answer the people you represent is.

Transparency and accountability are how our institutions, and the people entrusted to lead them, earn and maintain public trust.

When legitimate questions are met with ridicule, labels, censorship or personal attacks instead of answers, public trust is destroyed.

People begin to wonder not only why the questions are so difficult to answer, but why those asking them need to be silenced in the first place.

A healthy democracy does not shame, coerce or intimidate people into compliance.

It does not fear scrutiny.

It depends on it.

🚨 BOOM! GOV. RON DESANTIS just MIC DROPPED New York:

"We have 4 million more residents than New York State does, yet our budget's $117 billion, their budget's $268 BILLION dollars!"

"We have the lowest per capita tax in the country, we've paid off just since I've been governor, 52% of our state's debt, and we have a smaller government today than the day I took office. See, it can be done!" 👏🏻

CNN: “Este é um imigrante sem documentos...”

Miller: “Eles estavam aqui ILEGALMENTE?”

CNN: “Quero que esta seja uma discussão de boa-fé...”

Miller: “Quando você usa uma linguagem feita para ocultar a verdade, isso NÃO é boa-fé. Um ESTRANGEIRO ILEGAL é um ESTRANGEIRO ILEGAL. Eles não são ‘imigrantes sem documentos’.”

CNN: “Stephen, estamos tentando humanizar o debate...”

Miller: “Humanizar? Então vamos humanizar o Código Penal também. O assaltante de banco passa a ser ‘especialista em retirada sem agendamento prévio’. O estelionatário vira ‘empreendedor de narrativas financeiras alternativas’. O cara que entra na sua casa sem convite é só um ‘visitante com documentação pendente’. Que tal?”

CNN: “Isso é uma analogia grosseira.”

Miller: “Grosseira é fingir que a lei federal some porque a redação da CNN inventou um eufemismo mais fofo. ‘Sem documentos’ soa como alguém que esqueceu a carteira no Uber. Não. É alguém que cruzou a fronteira sem autorização, ficou, e agora a imprensa trata o estatuto jurídico como se fosse uma questão de estilo de escrita.”

CNN: “Mas muitos contribuem para a economia...”

Miller: “Ah, o argumento clássico: o crime deixa de ser crime se a pessoa lava prato ou constrói telhado. Pelo mesmo critério, o contrabandista de cigarro também ‘contribui’, gera emprego no transporte. Quer que a gente chame ele de ‘empreendedor logístico informal’? A CNN topa?”

CNN: “Você está polarizando.”

Miller: “Não. Eu estou recusando o dicionário de marketing. Vocês mudam a palavra, depois acusam quem usa o termo legal de ser ‘desumano’. É o truque mais velho do livro: primeiro suaviza o vocabulário, depois declara vitória moral. Os Estados Unidos já cansaram desse teatro. Chamem o que é. Ou admitam que o objetivo nunca foi clareza — foi controle da narrativa.”

The uranium market is structurally broken.

Nearly 60% of global production comes from just two countries:

- Canada: ~15%
- Kazakhstan: ~43%

The problem...

Kazakhstan alone is expected to lose ~80% of production over the next 20 years from existing mines, exactly as global demand doubles.

- Supply is shrinking.
- Demand is surging

Uranium remains a high-conviction, long-term winner.

Elon Musk vient de faire un joli pied-de-nez à l'UE.

L'UE a condamné X à 120 millions € d'amende pour manque de transparence sur son algorithme.

X publie désormais son algorithme sur GitHub, avec une mise à jour toutes les 4 semaines.

Mais ce n'est pas tout :

X va aussi rendre publiques TOUTES les demandes de censure émanant des gouvernements, dont celles de l'UE (qui semble clairement en abuser).

La pression réglementaire européenne a peut-être produit plus de transparence que prévu...

Juste pas exactement de la façon dont Bruxelles l'imaginait. 😏

Stephen Harper just said the quiet part out loud.

Canadian mainstream media is not neutral.
Every major TV network is MSNBC.
There is almost zero right-of-centre television in this country.

Harper said that media bias was a major reason he lost in 2015.
They refused to cover his announcements.
They scrubbed his opponent’s gaffes.
They coordinated their coverage daily.
They wouldn’t even run his ads.

We have now watched the exact same machine run for 11 straight years.

Same propaganda.
Same protection of Liberal failure.
Same blackout on anything that challenges the narrative.

And now they’re doing it to Pierre Poilievre.

Nothing has changed.
The media is still the opposition.

Goldman is laying out the uranium bull thesis:

- 2025-2045: 20 new US reactors built over the next 2 decades
- The restart of 3 reactors
- The resumption of construction on 2 units
- An average increase of 5 years in reactor lifetimes

Meanwhile, supply continues to disappoint.... a 32% uranium supply deficit is expected by 2045.

The best part... There is virtually no demand destruction because fuel accounts for only ~6% of a nuclear plant's operating costs.

Uranium remains one of the most attractive long-term investment opportunities.

@quakes99 Missing Laramide

[Laramide Resources Ltd. (TSX:LAM | ASX: LAM) @LaramideRes]

Identifying and supporting new mine development is becoming an increasingly urgent priority.

Laramide has released an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for its 100%-owned Westmoreland Uranium Project in Queensland, Australia.

The updated study reflects a decade of technical advancement and confirms Westmoreland as one of Australia's largest undeveloped uranium projects, with:

• Post-tax NPV (7.5%) of US$741 million

• Post-tax IRR of 33%

• Average annual production of approximately 4.9 million pounds U₃O₈ over an 11-year mine life

• 95% metallurgical recovery supported by a modern project design

Recent policy developments—including Australia's strengthening engagement with India on uranium supply, uranium's inclusion on the Northern Territory's critical minerals list, and broader discussions surrounding uranium policy across Australia—highlight the growing strategic importance of secure, long-term uranium supply.

The updated PEA provides a contemporary technical and economic foundation for Westmoreland as Laramide prepares for the next phase of project development. #Uranium #NuclearEnergy #CriticalMinerals #EnergySecurity #Queensland #Mining

Prime Minister,

You said: “Any sharing of the toll revenue won't happen until all the debt, all of the debt, is repaid."

Yet we learned last night that you had signed a deal that gives the U.S. “50% of net bridge and crossing related revenues for the first 15 fiscal years of bridge operations.” Before debt repayment. Just profit sharing on a bridge 100% built with our tax dollars.

The opposite of what you said.

How do we trust anything else you say about dealing with the U.S.?

To the Americans:

I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.

And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:

You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.

This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.

Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.

This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.

But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.

This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.

And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:

Thank God for the United States.

Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.

Long may your admirable country dominate the world.

Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.

May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.

Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.

Thank God for the USA.

Happy 250th.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson

@PeterDiamandis Fire is a natural part of the Boreal forest ecosystem regeneration. I get protecting human settlements, but most lightening fires should be otherwise allowed to burn, otherwise forests age out, insect infestations spread and fuel loads increase intensity of future fires.
