#IRAN DEFEATED THE US. #TRUMP LOST.

Imagine that. The french physician hired to police scientific integrity conveniently ‘forgot’ to declare six figures from Pfizer…

I remember during the pandemic when we were told not to worry, inflation was transitory. This is why people end up distrusting experts and institutions.

🇺🇸🇨🇦 Volkswagen just delayed its St. Thomas EV battery plant from 2027 to 2029. Ottawa sold this as a “generational” win. It is a $7 billion dollar factory sitting on up to $13 billion in federal subsidies plus Ontario cash, and it still cannot open on time. That is the Canadian auto industry: a branch-plant welfare case. Politicians cut ribbons. Taxpayers write the cheque. German executives slip the calendar. The batteries were always meant to roll south anyway. Ottawa then taxed American vehicles and rigged the rules so Detroit has to invest in Canada to get relief. Washington’s answer is not a mystery. It is 25% auto tariffs now, import bans starting September 29, and 50% hanging over Canadian cars, trucks, and parts on January 1.

In 2022, a Canadian church hosted a ‘physician-assisted suicide’ in its sanctuary, ending the life of an 86-year-old congregation member. They called it a “crossing over ceremony.” 🧵

🇺🇸🇨🇦 Greer this morning: no urgency. Canadians call when they want a deal. The United States is comfortable. LeBlanc’s answer: we’re not waiting by the phone either. That is the whole Canadian strategy for the past 18 months. Walk away back in August, summon the minister home, sell it as sovereignty then pretend the customer is the one who should be texting. Oshawa is cutting shifts. Volkswagen just kicked St. Thomas to 2029. A 25% tariff wall is up and 50% is on the calendar. And the Canadian minister responsible for the disaster is doing pressers about how he is not checking his messages. That ought to be comforting to Canadian workers. You do not win a trade war by leaving the table and then bragging that you are not waiting for a callback when the U.S. is cutting deals and slowly replacing your products.

This is quite the admission of liability. Lawsuits dry up fast when the courts set a precedent that a defendant isn’t liable. If the only reason manufacturers are staying afloat is because their liabilities are shifted onto injured people, that’s terrible policy.

Here is a real-world example of how Canada's retaliatory tariffs actually work. We are a Canadian manufacturer employing 40+ people in Ontario. We buy steel drums from an American manufacturer in Ohio. We bring the EMPTY drums into Canada. We fill those drums in Ontario with products WE MANUFACTURE IN CANADA. Then we ship the finished Canadian product back to customers in the United States. Simple enough. Except Canada has now imposed a 50% retaliatory tariff on U.S.-made steel drums under tariff code 7310.10.00. So let me understand the strategy. Who exactly are we trying to hurt? The American steel company already sold the steel. The American drum manufacturer already sold the drum. Our American customer still needs the finished product. The company writing the cheque for Canada's 50% tariff is us — the Canadian manufacturer employing Canadian workers. And before someone says, "Buy Canadian" — we have a Canadian drum supplier in Burlington. They're busy and their lead times are several weeks longer than our Ohio supplier. And here's the irony: The Canadian drum plant is itself owned by an American company. So we are potentially adding enormous cost and working-capital requirements to a Canadian manufacturer in an attempt to punish the United States. There may be duty-drawback relief available because we're re-exporting these drums as part of our finished product — and we're investigating that now. But think about the administrative absurdity we've created: Import an American drum → Canada charges a 50% retaliatory tariff → Canadian workers fill it with Canadian-manufactured product → ship it back to America → Canadian company applies to recover the tariff. That's not industrial policy. That's friction. If the objective is to protect and grow Canadian manufacturing, we need to start asking a very basic question before imposing retaliatory tariffs: Who actually writes the cheque? @ronmortgageguy @StephenPunwasi

Prime Minister Carney knows full well there is no such risk, but he is evidently prepared to stoop to a level of extreme cynicism and demagoguery, inadvertently exposing his belief that Canadians are dimwitted saps, for political gain.

When assisted suicide has a higher mortality rate than Peak Covid an event where you shut your country down to save the lives of old people you are now killing. We live in such a clown world its unreal.

War porn. First they invented a crisis. Then they amplified it. Restrictions on choice followed, as usual. Then they created new fears out of thin air ("invasion"). And then the bottom line: Canadians who have little left, now have to sacrifice more...for these people. #cdnpoli

This is precisely why you won't do shit if the US invades. You don't ask questions and you shut up and take orders, like a good little Canadian. You bend to authority. US occupation will be a breeze.

🇺🇸🇨🇳 Carney went to Xi in May and raised the Thucydides Trap like he was teaching the seminar. Today Xi is on the South Lawn telling Trump it can be overcome. That is the tell. The rising power and the ruling power are talking to each other. Canada is not in that equation. It is a G7 middle power that sells most of what it makes to the United States, then quotes Thucydides while walking out of a trade deal with its only real customer. Carney is a sophist, and a joke.

It's one of the only procedures in the Canadian health system that moves this fast.

Pointing out that the Canadian medical system prompts patients to consider killing themselves immediately turns Canadians from the nicest people you ever met into a shrieking pack of trolls

“New NYC COVID data: 0.33% of fully vaccinated New Yorkers have been diagnosed with COVID. 97% people hospitalized with COVID are unvaccinated.” Julia Marsh holds a BA in English from Colorado College and an MS in Journalism from Columbia. She possesses no medical degree, no scientific training, no epidemiological background, and no public-health qualification whatsoever. As New York Post City Hall Bureau Chief Julia spent 2021-2022 pumping out story after story that broadcast de Blasio’s private-sector mandate, teacher firings, restaurant bans, and child-exclusion rules as if they were settled science. Her August 2021 tweet treated early hospitalization percentages as a moral indictment of the unvaccinated while the city stripped jobs and access from anyone who declined the shot. The same journalist who helped turn raw percentages into social punishment now occupies the Executive Editor, Washington chair at POLITICO, overseeing political coverage after the policies she amplified produced mass unpaid leave, emptied classrooms, and a collapse in trust that no amount of later “nuance” can walk back. Platform without expertise is just a louder megaphone for coercion. Marsh printed the numbers. New Yorkers lost the paychecks.

Canada's human euthanasia record makes international headlines yet again

Just to be miserably clear, so you can calm down: The threat to militarily invade Canada never once came from Trump's mouth -- it came from Carney's. Keep that little fact in mind when reacting to the source of threats. #cdnpoli

So, PM Carney can reveal to the NYT that he ran US invasion scenarios, but the Gordie Howe bridge documents and US-Canada trade terms he walked away from can’t be shared with… the Canadian Parliament. Questions anyone?

We could also point out that most of his investments are in the US, his kids have been educated in the US, his wife works for an NYC based company and on and one but hey...elbows up with NYC based Mike Myers.

Never did I ever think that leftists would be the ardent defenders of big pharma
