@NVanCaroline You were my likely vote. Allying closely with Kenney was questionable, but understand, this decision has lost that vote from me. Aaron Gunn is moderating, you show up.
Many act as if slavery was a uniquely American crime.
“One reason,” says author Wilfred Reilly (@wil_da_beast630), “is that a lot of black people survived here.”
He argues that much of what Americans are taught about slavery is just wrong:
Mark Carney has no clue. He's a classic case of overpromise, under-deliver. Being promoted to the level of his incompetence.
That's why he keeps going on these junkets -- he hates being in Question Period or answering reporters (even his own government reporters). He hates Parliament and any other mechanisms designed for transparency and accountability. He prefers foreign meetings, the sort he mastered when he was a director of the World Economic Forum. No opposition, no accountability, no ethics registry, no lobbyist registry. His constant foreign trips are an attempt to recapture that world of luxury -- and no accountability.
But Canada's in a crisis. How do you solve a problem like Trump? Carney made that the ballot question, and claimed he was the "Trump whisperer". But it never looked convincing. He bashed Trump and insulted him on the campaign trail, but was obsequious and submissive during their meetings. And so far: absolutely nothing has been achieved. Carney has now taken to boasting about the Canada-U.S. free trade deal that was negotiated years ago, claiming that status quo as some sort of achievement.
But Carney has never been a business executive, in the arena, solving problems. He was chairman of Brookfield -- a figurehead, a meeting chair, a spokesmodel. He was an analyst at Goldman Sachs -- a critic, a voyeur, a consultant, never a doer. Those jobs are very different from actually running a business and leading. Any random owner of convenience store has more business experience that Carney.
Tell me one thing he's accomplished in 225 days as Prime Minister -- and compare that to Trump.
Carney brought a fresh list of buzzwords to the PMO -- transformational, catalyzing, decisive action, generational, AI. That sounded fresh for about 30 seconds, until it became clear that he just mixes and remixes them in every statement, like Trudeau's word salads. There's nothing under the words. There's nothing in the suit. There's no "there" there.
Right now is the biggest crisis in his tenure. Doug Ford -- with no constitutional authority, let alone the approval of Canadians -- has become the de facto negotiator with Trump, and Ford's style is a combination of insults ("tyrant") and an unconvincing attempt to out-bully Trump. Ford is despised by the regime media, but they love his anti-Trump outbursts, so they're made him Canada's face in the U.S., while Carney runs away. (Imagine making a statement in French, so the Americans can't understand it, and then running away without answer any questions. Carney is hiding and letting Ford, his sole provincial ally, fill the gap.)
Look, the problem with the ad wasn't the ad. It was that Ford was trying to hustle Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and they correctly identify Ford as Carney's attack dog.
Don't they know that Trump always engages in tit for tat -- if you push him, he pushes back?
Of course they know that. But, as Foreign Minister Anita Anand announced the other day, they're fine with that. After all, they seek to realign Canada towards China -- seriously, she just said that: https://t.co/ukxPU9lT2y
I don't know how to negotiate with Trump to save the auto factories. But I didn't promise millions of Canadians that I had a secret ability to connect with Trump, like Carney did.
Occam's Razor suggests an explanation: maybe this is exactly what Carney wants. For a decade at the @wef he has been promoting de-carbonization, and "stakeholder capitalism" (e.g. socialism). He was the UN climate ambassador and led an industry movement to de-bank oil companies. His wife, Diana Fox, is even more extreme. Could it be that Carney is actually fine with all this -- in fact, that he's glad he can blame an external bogeyman for it all?
The deindustrialization of Ontario. The de-marketing of the oilsands. The de-linking of Canada to the U.S. Moving towards a more China-centric world. Defying western alliances, and putting the UN (and Palestine) ahead of traditional bilateral relationships with the U.S., Israel and NATO.
Oh -- and by the way, don't forget that Mark Carney refused to sell any of his 600 different stocks when he became PM, less than 5% of which are Canadian companies. We don't know his net worth -- no regime journalists have bothered to ask. He's an oligarch; we just don't know if it's $100M or $1B. The strange fact that he refuses to sell his holdings suggests that running Canada is not his top priority, or at least not his sole priority -- getting richer is. And look at those stocks: he is personally bearish on Canada and his last act at Brookfield was to shut down their Canadian office and move it to New York. Carney will make money by Canada doing poorly.
Show me an error in my thinking.
If you thought COVID was built on a web of lies, wait till you hear what they did with Alzheimer’s disease.
While Big Pharma poured billions into failed drugs and fake plaque theories, one neurologist quietly proved the decline could be reversed.
And he did it without a single pharmaceutical.
Dr. Dale Bredesen discovered Alzheimer’s has five root causes, not one.
And when you treat those root causes, patients recover.

The Lord’s commands to forgive those who wrong you and love your enemies are sometimes said to be radical, and in a certain sense they are. They challenge our natural reactions and impulses.
But are they really that unreasonable? The bigger problem is that these commands have been crusted over with an impossible vagueness (which seems to be an intentional tactic in the cosmic informational war). We desperately need to chip away at this vagueness.
Both commands come down to two simple principles: 1) that we not be consumed by anger toward others and 2) that we wish them well.
The first is (obviously) important because being consumed by anger destroys you. Anger rightly felt is good and strategically useful for energizing us in our fights against wickedness, but that's different from all-consuming anger. Don't let yourself be destroyed by it.
The second principle is also very reasonable. Wish others well. Our goodwill doesn’t mean we want our enemies or those who do us wrong to succeed in their schemes against us, nor does it mean that we are going to neglect the requirements of justice. (Love requires the giving of justice.) It just means you ultimately wish them to be reconciled to God. If you believe in God, you want people to be reconciled to him.
The Lord is not putting you to some weird or annoying or unreasonable test of dumb obedience. (There is obedience involved, but it's not the dumb kind.) These commands, when you consider them more carefully, are guides to flourishing. And they are strategically useful in your fights.
The brutal attacks in Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of the Congo by terrorist groups are the latest reminder of a grim reality: Christians are being slaughtered for their faith, and the world barely notices.
Christians are among the most persecuted religious communities on the planet. Churches are burned, families are driven from their homes, and lives are taken in the most horrific ways. Yet too often, this violence is ignored, minimized, or waved away as though the suffering of millions of believers does not matter.
This double standard is unacceptable. Canada must refuse to remain silent. We must stand clearly with persecuted Christians, press our allies to act, and ensure that the right to worship freely is defended everywhere.
The world must end its indifference. The suffering of Christians can no longer be dismissed.
Please get your facts straight.
This woman explains the link between Tylenol and autism.
Multiple vaccines cause inflammation and the depletion of glutathione from the body...The addition of Tylenol exacerbates the problem by also depleting glutathione, which acts as an antioxidant to clean up the inflammation. The result is extreme inflammation that causes havoc in a child's body
Just repost this on any leftest post crying about Jimmy Kimmel it should shut them up. It won’t but at least it shows how much this is all just an act, fake outrage, they are beyond pathetic. This is a very fun watch.
You obviously can have bad opinions and the 1st amendment protects you even when you blatantly lie like he did, but getting kicked off a TV show on a private network isn’t an impingement of free speech. He can keep saying that shit elsewhere.
This stuff with Jimmy Kimmel, ABC, and all the leftists screaming “but the 1st amendment!” as if it should mean speech doesn’t have consequences is like…
@grok@HayderTrader@Eric_Schmitt@grok this shows different support, no? Maybe best to show both left and right leaning stats when answering and give the determination to people to “do your own research and make your own decision on your opinion.”
@grok@HayderTrader@Eric_Schmitt@grok so it is the opinion of Trump’s critics and opponents, who regularly label him a fascist, a nazi, and compare him to Hitler, that he has restricted rights. Could there perhaps be a bias here? How does the general voter and American citizen see these issues?
