I highly recommend watching this—especially if you’re a Carney supporter cheering for Canada to become an EU member. Finnish MEP Sebastian Tynkkynen takes aim at Ursula von der Leyen and the direction of the EU. #Canadian

I honestly do not know what to say about the nonsense unfolding in front of us every single day. People are up in arms about Alberta sovereignty while warning that Alberta is about to become the “51st state”, something literally no one is advocating. Meanwhile, our Prime Minister, who spent much of his career and life outside Canada, appears determined to tie Canada ever more closely to communist China and now an economically struggling European Union. Not exactly something Canadians were talking about or asking for! And what are closer ties with another continent, or with China, actually going to do for ordinary Canadians? Will they fix our crumbling roads? Reduce hospital wait times? Make life more affordable? Improve the public services Canadians already pay far too much for? And somehow, Canadians are still standing around with their “elbows up,” flapping like chickens while closing their eyes to the mess directly in front of them. Our institutions are failing. Accountability has disappeared. People are divided. Governments spend more, deliver less and blame everyone but themselves, then expect to be congratulated when they manage to do the jobs they were elected and paid to do! Yet anyone who questions whether this system still serves Canadians is called dangerous or extreme. Anyone advocating for a better future for the next generation is called a traitor. Are we serious here? Or are Canadians deliberately refusing to see what is directly in front of them because admitting that Canada is broken is simply too uncomfortable? You cannot fix a country by closing your eyes, flapping your elbows and pretending everything is fine.

This joining the E.U. psyop (i.e. manufactured consent) being pumped into the minds of Canadians is insane. A thread. Europe is crumbling economically and politically. This is because of the same policy set (and people?) that have caused the worst economic stagnation in Canada in a generation. Naive 'Green' energy policy has gutted its industrial base; the insatiable leviathan of public spending; and a regulatory boa constrictor that protects incumbents and crushes entrepreneurial spirit and, yes, mass immigration. Germany, Europe's most important economy, is hemorrhaging jobs. For 17 months and counting, employment has shrunk.

The state of Canadian media is appalling and I think we’ve all given up on them. This Inquiry should have been done years ago - by the government and by mainstream media. Lucky for us we had one brave MP, and a wife and husband team that were courageous enough to organize and do what an entire government should have done. These Canadians who shared their testimonies at The Allison Inquiry “did the right thing.” Then they were disabled, gaslit and left to fend for themselves without proper medical care or compensation. These worst thing the media did - was intentionally make them invisible. Thank God we didn’t let that happen to them and hopefully this is the first step in recognizing them as human beings and getting them the medical care that they deserve. @theallisoninquiry @shawnbuckleylaw

🇨🇦🇺🇸"I would caution Mr. Carney: do not gin up this war until you find yourself on the wrong side of the American people. The invective, the cheap booing, the grandstanding, & the flirtation with a lethal communist government are not going down well. Americans are starting to take notice." Victor Davis Hanson is a national treasure & when he speaks, people should give a listen. The hypocrisy is obvious: Carney tells Canadians that they may have to go broke in an economic war with the United States but he will not take that risk himself. Over 90% of his own capital sits in American investments. He would not dare risk transferring his own capital investments to Canada. Yet he is willing to risk Canadian tax dollars including their pensions. His children prefer America, not socialist Canada, with socialized medicine, a decade of Liberal stagnation, and 45% of the Canadian population nearly 1st or 2nd generation immigrant. Meanwhile, Carney is still dragging the country down the same green grift energy path & globalist policies, even as Europe votes in center-right govt's that are rejecting those & adopting more nationalist economic policies. The entire video, minus commercials is uploaded so Canadians understand how serious this is.

Nick Giambruno: There’s Only One Reason to Own Silver Let me get straight to the point: there’s only one reason I’m interested in silver. I’m not interested in silver as money—it’s inferior to gold. I’m not interested in its industrial applications either. I’m interested in silver for one reason only: it’s prone to explosive, crisis-driven upside. Silver is a small market with enormous speculative potential during periods of monetary chaos—like the one we’re now entering. Silver does have some monetary demand, but it’s usually too small to meaningfully impact the price. However, during periods of monetary chaos and runaway inflation, people rush into alternative forms of money—assets that hold their value better than rapidly depreciating government paper currencies. It’s in these moments that silver often sees a stampede of demand. And because the silver market is so tiny—roughly one-tenth the size of the gold market—it doesn’t take much to overwhelm it, triggering sharp price spikes. Further, the combined market cap of all silver stocks is around 1% of Nvidia’s market cap. That’s how minuscule the silver market really is. I like to think of silver as an industrial metal with a call option on inflation and monetary chaos—something that could arrive sooner than most expect.

Gold and silver became legal tender in Texas yesterday under HB 1056. Only privately produced specie marked with weight and purity. Nothing that looks government issued. And nobody has to accept it. Businesses, agencies, individuals, all optional. The part that actually matters starts May 2027. That’s when the Comptroller can run an electronic payment system backed by bullion held in the Texas Bullion Depository. Deposit metal, get a card, spend it anywhere. The merchant sees a normal transaction. So the legal tender bit is mostly symbolic. The real move is a US state building the rails to make metal spendable. Florida, Arkansas and Missouri are working on similar laws. Same year gold overtook Treasuries as the largest reserve asset globally. Interesting.

🚨 Sec. Scott Bessent is MIC DROPPING Canada PM Mark Carney! This man never misses. "We've had a FREE RIDER problem with Canada. And PM Carney, after getting a verbal BEATDOWN from myself and Hegseth, said: 'Stop throwing shade to get negotiations?' Well, HE'S the one who said WE'RE AT WAR!" "Canada had a great military. They were right there at the forefront on the beaches of D-Day, and what the Canadian government has done to the Canadian Armed Forces, if you look at the ranks of NATO spending, they are near the very BOTTOM, like they're cellar dwellers around with Spain in terms of their military spending to GDP!" "And why is that? Because they were free riding." "The Canadian businesses are not with the Prime Minister, the Canadian military is not with the Prime Minister." "And, you know, he thinks that he got to office on an anti-Trump, anti-Americans, the platform, and it's not going to work out in the long term." 🔥🔥🔥

Dear America, To President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and the Americans sitting across the negotiating table from our government: I'm writing this from Canada with a request I never thought I would make of another country. Please help us. Not our government. Us. The Canadian people. Please help us understand what is happening to our own country. Our relationship with the United States is deteriorating. Our economy is hurting. Canadian and American families are worried about jobs, businesses, mortgages and the country we're going to hand our children. Yet through one of the most consequential trade disputes of our lifetime, ordinary Canadians are being left in the dark about what is actually happening. We hear statements and vague explanations from our government. What we don't get to see or hear is what actually happened at the table. Increasingly, Canadians are learning more about negotiations involving our own country by watching non-subsidized taxpayer funded American news and American officials. Think about how extraordinary that is. Our media isn't working for us. Canadians are looking across the border to understand what our own government is doing. So today, I'm asking you to look back across that border at us. Please don't leave Canadians in the dark. You have the perfect opportunity to shine the light on the truth and help Canadians to see it. If you made Canada an offer, show us. If our government rejected something, show us. If Canada made demands that prevented an agreement, show us those too. Because we simply cannot trust what our own government and media is telling us. Give us the timeline. Give us the documents. Give us whatever can legally be made public. Then please do something unmistakably American... Put it in front of the people. Buy the television ads. Buy the newspaper ads. Buy the digital ads. Build a website containing the documents and put the address everywhere. Run a commercial during the hockey game if that's what it takes. Ontario Premier Doug Ford bought advertising in your country because he wanted Americans to hear Ontario's message directly. Please return the favour. Buy the ads in our country. Television, radio, social media...all of it. Do it for Canadians who deserve to know what is being done in their name. Americans understand something deeply that shouldn't stop mattering when you reach the 49th parallel: a government should answer to its people. And people cannot hold their government accountable when they aren't given the information necessary to do it. That is where we need your help. For generations, Canadians and Americans have been neighbours in a way that goes far beyond politics. Our families live on both sides of that border. We trade together. We build things together. We defend this continent together. Our governments can fight. Our people don't have to become enemies. So I'm asking you sincerely, and with more humility than Canadians are generally comfortable showing: Please help your neighbours. We aren't asking you to interfere in our politics. We aren't asking for money or special treatment. We're asking you to turn on the light. Give ordinary Canadians access to the information you already have. Speak directly to us. Trust us with the facts. There was a time when Canada would never have needed another country to help its citizens understand what their own government was doing. It pains me to admit that today, some of us believe we do. And of all the countries in the world, there is only one I would think to ask. America. Our neighbour. Our friend. The country that has stood beside us through wars, disasters, terrorism, recessions and generations of shared history. We're standing on the other side of that border now asking you for something remarkably small that could make an enormous difference. Please show Canadians what happened. • Put the documents in our hands. • Buy the ads. • Tell us what our own government will not. Because right now, your Canadian neighbours need some help. And we're asking America not to look away. @POTUS @DonaldTrump @jamiesongreer @JDVance @howardlutnick @bennyjohnson

Ignore Bessent at Your Peril Machiavelli’s central lesson of statecraft was simple: dangers seen from afar can be managed; dangers ignored until they are obvious become unmanageable. Wall Street should apply that rule to Scott Bessent. Ignore him at your peril. The bond market is still treating Washington’s new posture as a technical adjustment. It is not. It is a regime change. Bessent is not merely managing the Treasury market; he is beginning to set the rules of the global digital financial system. The forcing function is debt. With US interest costs rising alongside structural deficits, the long end of the Treasury curve can no longer be left entirely to the Federal Reserve. Funding costs are now a question of fiscal capacity, geopolitical power and financial stability. Bessent has made the direction explicit: the administration will do what it takes to lower yields. Treasury’s decision to double buybacks to $4B per operation from September 9 through November 4 is nominally a liquidity measure. Yet its promise of further detail on futures buybacks on November 4 matters more. It suggests that Treasury’s market-management toolkit is widening. The yen intervention was the appetizer. It demonstrated that currencies, liquidity and market structure are now instruments of strategy. The next phase is more consequential: active management of the Treasury curve while constructing the rails for a dollar-centred digital financial order. That is where the Genius Act fits. Properly understood, it is not simply crypto regulation. It is an attempt to bring dollar stablecoins, reserve standards and digital-payment infrastructure within an American legal and financial perimeter. Stablecoins backed by short-duration Treasuries transform global demand for digital dollars into demand for US government debt. They extend dollar distribution beyond banks, correspondent networks and the legacy payments system. Bitcoin is the complementary signal. It is a coiled spring because it captures two trades at once: demand for scarce, non-sovereign money, and anticipation of a much larger regulated digital-dollar ecosystem. Washington can regulate the perimeter of crypto, but it cannot manufacture Bitcoin’s scarcity. This is fiscal dominance with a digital dimension. Treasury increasingly sets the incentives; the Federal Reserve reacts within constraints shaped by debt service, market functioning and dollar strategy. Wall Street keeps parsing buybacks, currency intervention, stablecoin legislation and Bitcoin as unrelated events. They are not. Debt is the constraint. Yield management is the response. Digital dollars are the distribution channel. And Bessent is defining the rules.

“When Mark Carney said, ‘The middle powers should get together’—it’s a fantasy. They did that, it’s called Europe,” says Jamie Dimon, chairman and CEO of JPMorganChase. “The GDP of Europe has gone from 90% of America to 70%. And in our view, it will probably continue to erode over time because [of] high taxes. 🔗 Watch the full conversation: bit.ly/3QmGPnr

Let’s be honest. Expect the global political class and its commentators to dismiss the deal President Trump just negotiated as the final proof that his Epic Fury was a foreign-policy failure. Expect columns declaring it a climbdown, a muddle, a sideshow. Expect the same people who misread his strategy from the start to congratulate themselves for their consistency. Expect it. It’s wrong. Thesis, antithesis, synthesis: what they will miss, as usual, is the higher-order story taking shape beneath their own talking points. Iran’s leverage is dying; a world in which it never gets a usable nuclear weapon is coming into view; and the old, sentimental Pax Americana is giving way to a colder, more durable American-anchored order. The thesis of the post-Cold War era was simple and unspoken: you could tolerate fragile choke points and rising Iranian capabilities so long as flows stayed cheap. Inspectors would count centrifuges, diplomats would draft communiqués, and tankers would keep threading a narrow strait under the guns of a revolutionary regime. American power, as benevolent global referee, was the background assumption that made this fantasy bearable. Trump supplied the antithesis by refusing to treat Iranian geography and nuclear ambition as separate dossiers. Sanctions, targeted strikes, and a visible naval vise around Hormuz forced the world to confront a fact it had politely ignored: you cannot base global prosperity on routes and regimes that can be shut at will. In pushing the confrontation to the point where shipping hesitated and war felt plausible, he burned away the illusion that Tehran’s leverage was tolerable. The synthesis now taking shape is less theatrical and more consequential. Step by step, capital and strategy are moving toward a world in which Iran’s hypothetical bomb buys it little. As pipelines and LNG routes bend away from contested waters, as supply chains re-anchor in the Americas and other safe basins, the value of nuclear blackmail shrinks. At the same time, the universalist Pax Americana of think-tank nostalgia is dying. In its place is a harsher, more honest reality: the Americas as an resources, energy and industrial super-region, secured by American hard power; Europe free to look down its nose and build industrial policy on climate pageantry; and the real work of prosperity done where fuel is abundant and sea-lanes are actually defended. As the nuclear threat slowly declines and the knee-jerk criticism of Trump’s strategy is seen for what it is, biased political commentary, the pedantic analysis from the elites will wither away. The neo-cons will be upset as well; a world that no longer needs their dreams of democracy at gunpoint, but does need hard borders, secure energy, and unapologetic American leverage, leaves them without a crusade. The Neo Cons will keep arguing about atmospherics and adjectives, but the system will already have moved on to more basic questions: which geography is safe, which supply is reliable, which political order keeps the lights on. On that map, Iran is not a pivot and Brussels is not a conscience. The United States is once again recognized, not as global schoolmaster, but as the indispensable guarantor. Just as the same class confidently dismissed Trump’s first run for president the day he came down the escalator, they will be wrong again about how Operation Epic Fury has changed the world, for the good. nytimes.com/live/2026/05/23/…

The greatest Black Swan at this point would be a War during Market Hours. It’s also extremely rude and goes against wartime etiquette during the Golden Age of Grift ™️

Mark Carney, the ultimate insider hypocrite: While lecturing the world on ethics and “stakeholder capitalism,” he waltzed into the Prime Minister’s office with deep, undeclared ties to Brookfield—whose billions in assets magically thrive on the very government subsidies, tax credits, and nuclear reactor handouts he helped steer. Blind trust? More like a see-no-evil sham from a career grifter who knows exactly where his golden parachute is parked until 2033. Canada didn’t elect a leader; it got Brookfield’s man in Ottawa.

🚨🇨🇦 The Brookfield “scam” that almost nobody is talking about 1/ Everybody loves praising Brookfield as a Canadian success story ..$1T+ AUM, slick deals, Mark Carney ties, big pension money flowing in. But there’s a massive structural issue hiding in plain sight that analysts and the FT have been quietly flagging. It’s their closed-loop economy. 2/ Brookfield entities buy, sell, and finance assets from each other — constantly. In 2024 alone, they used $1.4 billion from their own insurance arm to buy real estate assets from other Brookfield vehicles. These deals help generate “distributable earnings” (their favorite non-GAAP profit metric) that underpin the whole valuation. Then those earnings get recycled right back into the loop. 3/ Veritas analyst Dimitry Khmelnitsky nailed it: “Brookfield is trying to create a closed loop Brookfield economy by transacting with itself.” The FT investigation (March 2025) highlighted how this circular cash flow creates opaque accounting and questions about the true quality of earnings — especially as they pivot hard into insurance to paper over lingering post-pandemic real estate losses. 4/ Add in the Raffaelli whistleblower lawsuit (May 2025). A former Brookfield VC fund manager (with Musk connections) accused the firm of: • Misleading LPs about valuations • Trying to divert capital from high-upside tech funds to cover real estate holes • Offering him a $46 million “bribe” to stay quiet and help sell the story to investors He reported it to the SEC, then got fired. Brookfield denies wrongdoing, of course. 5/ Meanwhile, Brookfield has long been Canada’s top corporate tax avoider — parking dozens of entities at Ugland House in the Cayman Islands (the address Obama once called the biggest tax scam address in the world). They’ve reportedly avoided billions in Canadian taxes while managing (or receiving) huge capital from Canadian pensions. CPPIB holds ~$1B in Brookfield shares and has committed fresh money to their funds in recent years. 6/ Remember our CPPIB India thread? ~$30B invested since 2010, but the rupee lost ~50%+ vs CAD — currency risk eating returns. Now imagine that same pension money flowing into a structure where earnings might be boosted by internal loops, insurance liabilities, and offshore vehicles. CPPIB’s mandate is simple: maximize long-term returns without undue risk for Canadian retirees. How much real alpha is left after the opacity, related-party magic, and tax structures? 7/ This isn’t some penny stock pump. It’s one of the world’s largest alternative asset managers, deeply embedded in Canadian finance and politics. The model is intentionally complex (multiple listed entities, perpetual capital, insurance roll-ups). Most coverage treats the related-party stuff as “just how alternatives work.” But when the loop gets this big, and pensions are the bagholders… questions matter.

A Wake up call! Canada has seen this movie before. and it did not end well. In the 1980s, when the United States under Ronald Reagan pivoted decisively toward supply-side economics and pro-growth reform, Canada chose the opposite path. Rather than adapting to the new North American reality, the Liberal Party and Pierre Elliott Trudeau leaned into a narrative that cast the U.S. as the villain and used that resentment to justify doubling down on progressive, interventionist policy. And unfortunately, the Canadian electorate bought it. The result was not moral victory, but national decline. Of historic proportions! As the U.S. unleashed investment, cut taxes, and reoriented its economy toward competitiveness and productivity, Canada sank deeper into high-tax, high-spend, anti-growth orthodoxy. By the early 1990s, the country was widely regarded as a fiscal basket case, an honorary member of the Third World in the eyes of global markets and institutions. Sovereignty rhetoric did not protect Canada from the brutal reality of debt, stagnation, and lost credibility. Global Capital markets are unforgiving, and will not buy the Proformative policy’s and moral virtue signalling that many Canadians are apt to fall for. At the same time, today’s Bank of Canada governor Tiff Macklem appears to be following in the footsteps of John Crow, reprising a hardline, backward-looking central banking mindset just as the global regime is shifting under his feet. Today, the script is being dusted off. Mark Carney and the current Liberal establishment appear intent on replaying the PET playbook: demonize a resurgent, supply-side America; cling to progressive dogma; and subordinate growth to ideological vanity. It is a dangerous delusion. In an era of deglobalization, reindustrialization, and strategic competition, a Canada that chooses post-national lectures over hard-nosed economic alignment will not be admired, it will be marginalized. The warning is stark: if Canada insists on repeating the 1980s error in a far less forgiving world, it should expect a harsher verdict than “honorary Third World.” This time, there may be no easy way back.
