who've been sold a victim narrative: "They seem to be fighting against this caricature of the patriarchy."

After blocking a Chinese state-owned company from buying a gold mine in the same Kitikmeot region on national security grounds, is it a good idea for Canada to pay to plan the northern anchor of a security corridor whose Arctic road and port the RCMP flagged for monitoring because a Chinese state-backed company proposed it first? The concern originates in a 2022 RCMP Arctic environmental scan, obtained through access to information, which flagged Nunavut's Grays Bay road and port for monitoring. The scan says the project was originally proposed by MMG, majority-owned by the Chinese state enterprise China Minmetals, and the same scan explains that Ottawa blocked Shandong Gold's purchase of the Hope Bay mine because its location would likely lead to port and road infrastructure giving Beijing strong economic and political power in Nunavut. Beijing has made no secret of its interest in the region: having announced a "Polar Silk Road" strategy in 2018 and proclaimed itself a "near-Arctic state," its ambassador told Nunatsiaq News in Iqaluit in 2024 that he regretted the blocked Shandong deal and that China stands ready to deepen cooperation with Arctic Canada. MMG's original 2012 plan hinged on summer ice-free shipments from Grays Bay to export zinc, and in 2017 MMG warned that it would not proceed unless the region's transportation system was funded. Ottawa, which turned down a Nunavut government and Kitikmeot Inuit Association funding request in April 2018, stepped in with $21.5 million in 2019. Under Mark Carney's leadership, the road and port were referred to the Major Projects Office as part of an Arctic security corridor on March 12, 2026, and up to $50 million was conditionally approved on May 20, 2026, for planning and preconstruction. The developer, now the majority Inuit-owned West Kitikmeot Resources, lists resource companies and defence agencies among the users of the same road and port in its own filing, which describes access as "controlled," says commercial users may pay tolls and leaves the management plans to be written. This unfolding commitment runs parallel to a series of contradictory policy moves. At the April 17, 2025 leaders' debate, Mark Carney named China Canada's biggest security threat, and Reuters reported the next day that he called it an emerging threat in the Arctic. Later that same year, in December, he said Canada would not have a deep relationship with China on critical minerals, the exact sector Ottawa's May 20 announcement says the road will bring to market. Only weeks later he returned from China with a strategic partnership and a package of signed agreements, among which were an energy memorandum between Natural Resources Canada, the department that approved the Grays Bay money, and China's National Energy Administration, alongside a policing memorandum between the RCMP and China's Ministry of Public Security, the text of which the RCMP will not release without Beijing's agreement. On September 9, 2026, the developer was told Grays Bay had been chosen as one of the projects featured for investors at the Canada Investment Summit, which Chinese state-backed investors subsequently took part in on September 14 and 15. In contrast, the United States, Denmark and Greenland signed an agreement on September 22 that bars non-NATO bases without the parties' agreement and bars investors from outside NATO, its partners and the EU from control or significant influence in sensitive sectors, defined to include critical infrastructure and the extraction of resources, a move CBS News says is aimed at blocking influence from China and Russia, while Ottawa has published no comparable rules specific to Grays Bay. Is this just another example of Canada's move toward closer ties with communist China, even as Ottawa says it has guardrails against exactly that?

Like Brookfield's Maple Fund, Carneys entire playbook is making money while Canadians take risks... Will be interesting to see what private capital infrastructure leaks into his portfolio from this... guess we will watch and see.

The best deal Canada could muster.

Watching this beautiful woman regain her sense of self and the joy of being happy with who she was created to be brings me so much joy, sh was one of the first people I followed on X and I want to share her joy in rediscovering herself and accepting herself with the world! You are beautifully and wonderfully made!

I just keep saying it... Our country is a joke..

Bill C-34, the so-called Safe Social Media Act, would make Canadians prove their age to use social media and give a new federal commission sweeping powers over online speech. Tell your MP that protecting children should not come at the cost of everyone’s privacy and freedom of expression. Sign our letter opposing Bill C-34: jccf.ca/stop-bill-c-34-the-s…

They try to tell us it's all just a conspiracy while they write it all down using nice, opaque words... It's literally an app on every new phone you buy, it's in nearly every city's new declaration in Canada, it's part of our budget plan.... But it's a conspiracy theory... It's literally your Prime Minister's playbook. People better start waking up, because as nice as they make it sound, the reality of it is what it draws out for the average person is a life of limitation. Government dependency, a loss of freedoms and the complete and utter decimation of the middle class... Stakeholder Capitalism, a new form of socialism that has managed to incorporate communism and fascism into one pool well making you feel "good about it"... You will own nothing, go nowhere and be happy - whether you like it or not.

Exactly right! It's a 2 way street. Truth is the first word and its time we demand it. It's good to see that there are FN outside of the activist groups who also see the importance of this. Tax payers were willing to pay to ensure that if there was truth behind the claims that set churches a blaze and created division and an assumption of genocidal mass graves that drew a cloud of shame over the nation as a whole, that the truth could be brought to light and accountability could be met.

It’s weird that Canadians need to see what the PM says in a foreign news outlet with a paywall. So here’s the paywall bypass if anyone actually wants to read it. archive.is/e78j5

I am going to be completely candid..I am terrible at X posting lol..I am a woman of many words and the idea of limited characters and emojis hurts my brain. Thank you to those who have still opted to give me a follow and I hope you can enjoy my long form thoughts on sustack!👀👇

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.

The propaganda from the canadian government and their media minions is getting rediculous... but what purpose does it serve? Thats the question we need to ask...
