I remember the day my dad got laid off.

He came home early. Sat at the kitchen table.
Didn’t say anything for a long time.

28 years at the same company.
$52,000 a year.
Same desk. Same commute.
Same handshake every Christmas party.

They called him into HR on a Tuesday morning and handed him a folder.

2 weeks severance. $2,000.
A COBRA packet at $1,400 a month he couldn’t afford and a thank you for your service.

He was 54.

Too young for Medicare.
Too old to start over.
Too proud to tell us how scared he was.

He spent the next 4 years working part time jobs at $14 an hour.

Not to retire comfortably.
Not to build anything.

Just to keep health insurance so a hospital bill wouldn’t finish what the layoff started.

28 years.
$1.4 million in value given to that company.

And they never called to check on him once.

I will never forget that kitchen table moment.

That’s when I learned that no company will ever love you back.

For the record:

What has Canada become?

Canada likes to boast about having one of the most educated populations on earth, but when it comes to Trump Derangement Syndrome it behaves like the global capital of political hysteria. What passes for “education” has curdled into progressive indoctrination so deep that basic objectivity and critical thought have become niche pursuits rather than civic norms. Carney’s Davos grandstanding about Canada as a moral superpower is a case study in this self‑congratulatory delusion, all rhetoric and posture, no serious reckoning with power or trade realities.

Common sense of the street suggests that Canada will pay a heavy price for this performance politics, yet now we get Doug Ford charging the hill as the obedient attack dog of the eastern elite, not the defender of Ontario’s real economic interests. It is a breathtakingly stupid strategy while the Ontario economy continues to tank, and instead of course correction we get more theatrical outrage and tribal signalling. Add to that the Bank of Canada, with Macklem dutifully shading monetary and economic rhetoric to fit our own polite, Canadian variant of TDS, and you have institutions reinforcing the same pathology rather than checking it.

What was once an objective citizenry has been reduced to a lap dog culture, yapping on command for the progressive elite and the globalist Davos crowd. Canada’s prosperity still hinges on a hard, unsentimental economic relationship with the United States, yet its political and technocratic class behaves as if hashtags, panels, and summit applause can substitute for leverage, bargaining power, and trade strategy.

Facts, not feelings, will settle this experiment, and on current trajectory Canada will discover that trading sovereignty for moral vanity is a very expensive way to learn basic geopolitical arithmetic. To be clear, Carney is playing a dangerous game.

Canada needs the U.S. far more than the U.S. needs Canada, and indulging TDS as the organizing principle of foreign and industrial policy is not just embarrassing, it is dangerous.

Bessent’s warnings should be taken with utmost seriousness; alas, they are waved away by a political class intoxicated with its own rhetoric. With even a moment’s reflection, one can see the pain of reality that awaits Canada if this trajectory holds. Facts matter, and Carney’s chosen strategy sits squarely on the wrong side of history; one could say he has willingly put Canada on the altar of the progressive, globalist cause and struck the match himself.

One of Confucius’s most enduring observations is that we gain wisdom in three ways: through reflection, which is noblest; through imitation, which is easiest; and through experience, which is the bitterest. Canada once had the confidence and seriousness to choose reflection first. Today, it seems determined to skip both reflection and intelligent imitation and head straight for the bitter lesson of experience. What has Canada become?

Soviet Britain just sent Tommy Robinson to 18 months prison.

His crime?

"Game over. We are dealing with a fraud".

Geologist, Prof. Ian Plimer, demolishes the "human-induced global warming" narrative, in just two minutes.

"No one has ever shown that human emissions of CO2 drive global warming… And if it could be shown, then you would have to show that the 97% of emissions which are natural, do not drive global warming."

So the Davos billionaires board their private jets after lecturing the world’s working people about heating their homes and driving to work.

I will ban all my ministers from any involvement in the World Economic Forum.

This might be the best placard to come out of yesterday's march, and it's also excellent advice that you should give to your kids.

Never trust anyone who says "Don't tell you parents"

So the conspiracy theorists were right again that it was arson and not climate change. How disappointing for the climate alarmists.

[Jason James @jasonjamesbnn]

In summary:

Current superior court judges made "donations" to Trudeau and the Liberal Party shortly before being appointed.

In plain english:

They paid the Liberals for their seat.

In any other world at any other time this would be plastered everywhere on social media, front pages of news publications, the top story on news media TV programs. This would be a constant point of discussion until a criminal investigation came to a conclusion- and then the decision would be debated for months afterward.

This is so corrupt at a fundamental level we cannot refer to our justice system under the Trudeau Liberals as democratic in any way.

But this is now: where the rot is so deep and the corruption is so rampant, it's lost in the maze of other crooked shit this government does on a minute to minute basis.

This is just another article, and just another post.

Move along now.

If anyone still question’s that Canada is on a downward spiral under a decade of Trudeau government. Just take a look at our comparable’s. Ontario and Quebec are competing with Alabama and Arkansas.
