The situation in France seems serious, but I’ll wait to form an opinion until Comic Dave Smith finishes reading the Wikipedia article about it.

#BREAKING: Former Minister of Designating Peaceful Protestors as Terrorists is getting absolutely slaughtered by ratios in her/his/them replies.

Breaking News. Mark Carney encourages Alberta to seperate.

I have not laughed this hard in a long time.😳🤣😂 Someone woke up and decided the relationship status was the right place for this. I was not ready for the reply. Or the like count under it. Some people just commit. I respect this 💯😂

Anyone who said Canada could win a trade war with the US is retarded.

I respect Joe immensely and he’s earned his opinion on topics like this through honorable service and unimaginable sacrifice. But I disagree. The dignity and decency of the fabric of our great nation is fully present in the fact this traitor is alive 16 years after turning a gun on his fellow service members and declaring allegiance to our enemies. He has received a fully adjudicated sentence and if we are righteous in the use of capital punishment then the society mandating it should have the right to see what that actually is. Executing someone stands as both an act of justice for the victims and a promise fulfilled to would be offenders. All executions mandated by the will of the people should happen before the eyes of the people. If it is too ugly to see, perhaps then it is too ugly to do. But let me not mince words. Shoot straight soldiers and send his soul to hell where it belongs.

The Palestinians permanently lost their right to a state on October 7th.

VERY SAD NEWS… This is so disappointing. CNN reported today that Walt Disney's new film called Jet Black, the African-American version of Snow White has been cancelled. All of the seven dwarfs: Dealer, Stealer, Mugger, Forger, Drive-By, Homeboy, and Shank have refused to sing "Hi Ho, Hi Ho" because they say it offends black prostitutes. They also say there ain't no way in hell they're gonna sing, It's off to work we go…

Dear Elon Musk. Will you PLEASE remove the ability of the elected officials to block/close comments? Do the right thing!

Can you believe Flock CEO Garrett Langley doesn’t like his picture shared online?

In 2005, Oneida shut the flatware factory in Sherrill, New York. A town that had made silverware for MORE THAN 100 YEARS was supposed to be finished. Two men refused to let that happen. Their names are Matt Roberts and Greg Owens. Roberts had managed that factory. Owens was another former Oneida manufacturing manager. When the company ended U.S. production, they bought the plant and the equipment and reopened it the NEXT DAY as Sherrill Manufacturing. They did not have a giant rescue fund. They did not have a Hollywood ending waiting. They had a building, some machines, and a workforce that knew how to make forks, knives, and spoons. At first they kept making product for Oneida. Then Oneida pulled the remaining American work and sent it overseas. That should have been the end. It wasn’t. They took government flatware contracts to keep the lights on. In 2010 they filed Chapter 11. They sold unused equipment. They sold space they could no longer fill. They leased back only the part of the factory they could still run. They came out of bankruptcy in 2013. Then they did the thing that saved the company. They built their own brand: Liberty Tabletop. They sold 18/10 stainless flatware straight to customers who wanted tableware MADE IN THE UNITED STATES. Not through a department store that could drop them overnight. Direct. Today Liberty Tabletop is the only company still manufacturing stainless steel flatware in America. Same town. Same trade. U.S. steel. About 70 jobs. They did not bring back 2,000 workers. Nobody did. What they saved was the last line. If you want American-made forks and spoons, this is the factory that still makes them. Support Liberty Tabletop. THIS is what keeping manufacturing in America actually looks like. 🇺🇸

MARK CARNEY FOLLOWED RETARD GUY FELICELLA.🤣 So it’s true… …RETARDS GRAVITATE TOWARDS RETARDS!!🤣 (I bet dollars to donuts that Guy went around and bragged to anyone who would listen that Carney followed him🤣)

It is with great concern for some of my fellow countrymen, inching precariously toward the edge of utter lunacy, that I write this post. Prime Minister Mark Carney this week, in an interview with the New York Times, went on record saying it would be “irresponsible” not to plan for the possible contingency of a military invasion of Canada by the United States. Unfortunately, Mr. Carney didn’t misspeak or fall victim to a cherry-picked quote taken out of context. His concern was later reiterated by Defence Minister David McGuinty and Artificial Intelligence Minister Evan Soloman. We all know that Donald Trump has a colourful history of spouting off some truly outrageous whoppers from time to time, but even he has never disseminated something as fatuous, dangerous or dishonest as this. And while he seldom backs down from his outrageous claims, whenever he pushes the envelope too far, at least his entourage goes on damage control to walk back some of his excesses – Carney’s guys are doubling down. Despite these idiotic statements, these are intelligent men. The odds that all three of them would simultaneously become afflicted by the same psychotic delusion is infinitesimally small. The only rational conclusion, therefore, is that they believe, or rather their polling data shows, that enough Canadians are so possessed by Trump Derangement that engaging in such asinine demagoguery is politically expedient. Sadly, they may be right. The vast coalition of useful idiots and true believers after effectively having their intelligences insulted by their dear leader, are coming out of the woodwork to express gratitude online for the Prime Minister’s caution in preparing for all, including the most remote, contingencies. Others are retreating slightly to hold the line at the fall-back position articulated by Minister McGuinty that, this kind of paranoid delusion is perfectly normal and, “all militaries in the world spend time analyzing risk scenarios.” I assure you, this is not normal. Back on planet Earth, the situation is tense and acrimonious (and there is plenty of blame to go around for that), but this is not the more than two centuries of peace along the 49th parallel that followed the signing of the Treaty of Ghent in 1815 drawing to an end. Trump has imposed tariffs on $20 billion (or 2% of the $400 billion per year) of Canadian exports to the US. In other words, amid this unnecessary, escalatory, and foolish trade dispute, the United States will still purchase 200% more Canadian goods and services this year than the rest of the world combined. This situation is like a restaurant’s picky regular customer complaining about an overcooked steak to a prideful chef who, fortified in his own mind by the knowledge he cooked the steak perfectly, refuses to comp the entree. This is not the start of World War III. We are so far removed from a military incursion at our southern border that we may as well be strategizing the response to the equally plausible threat of Santa Claus leading an invasion of elves from the north. If we woke up tomorrow in some parallel reality where the United States actually was contemplating a full-scale military campaign against Canada, with all due respect to our brave men and women in uniform, the only preparations to be made would be negotiating the terms of our unconditional surrender. Some brave and patriotic Canadians may refuse to submit and instead choose to conduct, as a matter of principle, a brutal and bloody guerilla warfare campaign against the strongest conventional and nuclear military force in the history of the world. Unfortunately, they would be in the precarious position of having to rely on our miserly European allies, or countries like Russia or China, whose recent actions have been significantly more hostile and provocative challenges to our sovereignty than the US tariffs, to supply us with weapons, and they would not remotely be adequate. It’s all so desperately preposterous. But for the sake of argument, let’s suppose that Donald Trump was indeed the terrifying bogeyman haunting the dreams of the most extreme and hopeless sufferers of Trump Derangement Syndrome and its frightful sister affliction, Andrew Coyneism, a rare and especially acute form of tweet-induced psychotic maladjustment. Even in this scenario, why would Trump use the military to annex Canada? All he would have to do is offer Alberta statehood, liberation from transfer payments, excessive regulation and carbon taxes, carte blanche to exploit its natural resources, a generous welcome bonus in the form of a $100,000 tax credit to every adult Albertan and replace their Canadian dollars with equal amounts of US currency. They would effectively be acquiring Alberta for the knock-down bargain price of roughly 1x annual GDP. Simultaneously, the US (including the newly acquired Alberta) would immediately cut off all trade with the rest of Canada. The net impact to Canada of this manoeuvre would be a cataclysmic economic collapse, while the newly composed United States would take a net GDP hit (loss of all trade with Canada, mostly offset by the acquisition of Alberta) of 0.8%. Next would come a full package of sanctions, a naval blockade, and when the rest of Canada became desperate enough, a Chinese belt-and-road style offtake of all of Canada’s resources at bargain prices, which by then, the Canadians would be desperate for. In the meantime, the US would revamp its immigration policy to recreate the brain-drain of the 1990s on steroids, welcoming the top 20% most productive Canadians to flee what had overnight become the third world. Harvard Alumnus Mark Carney might well be among those at the front of the line seeking this emigration opportunity, rejoining 91 percent of his own investments already located there. There would, no doubt, be a fearsome contingent of Canadians refusing to bend or break in the face of American tyranny, and elbows would be flying up to vertiginous heights with such vigour that the Canadian healthcare system would be overwhelmed by millions of spontaneous emergency room visits of patriotic patients with dislocated shoulders. I suspect many of you reading this are thinking to yourself that this is so completely far-fetched and absurd that, if serious, I must have lost my mind. Allow me to reassure you that while this is all bunk, it remains at least ten times more likely than the United States military executing a boots-on-the-ground invasion of Canada. Anyone who spends more than one second worrying about such an outcome should immediately proceed to the nearest sink to splash some cold water in their face and pull themselves together.

“That’s it. This is where I die. Right here, exactly where I’m standing now.” ​On the morning of October 7th, Lieutenant Colonel Or Ben Yehuda, Commander of the Caracal Battalion, looked up to see a nightmare unfolding: hundreds of terrorists charging over sand dunes in pickup trucks and motorcycles. Behind her stood just 12 of her fighters. Outnumbered, outgunned, and staring directly into the abyss. ​Most people would freeze. Or Ben Yehuda turned to her soldiers, looked death in the face, and smiled. ​“Come on, let’s tear them apart.” ​What followed was hours of pure, relentless valor. Firing until the barrels burned. Taking out trucks with anti-tank missiles. Killing a terrorist leaping at her from point-blank range with a split-second trigger pull. Guiding a lone tank with hand signals through thick smoke, coordinating rescue choppers under fire, and shielding the kibbutzim behind them with nothing but pure grit and unyielding willpower. ​When the smoke finally settled, she walked slowly down the line of fallen soldiers—angels and lions who gave everything so others could live—gently stroking their faces, whispering apologies, and softly closing their eyes. ​Between an overwhelming horde of terror and thousands of sleeping civilians stood twelve fighters led by a woman who refused to yield an inch of ground. ​Remember this face. Remember this name. Lieutenant Colonel Or Ben Yehuda. A warrior who looked into the dark and answered it with fire. ​. . . #Heroism #IronSwords #Caracal #TrueBravery #Inspiration #Leadership #Unbroken #HonorTheFallen

Governor Carnholio has released a statement regarding the imminent American military invasion of Canada:

Canadian Prime Minister @MarkJCarney just announced that he will take $100 million dollars out of the mouth of a million hungry Canadian children and send it to these men in Gaza. Does anyone in Canada think that is acceptable???
