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.

Canada has enough oil to be very rich and enough policy to stay very poor. 🙃

America told us the truth about the Gordie Howe Bridge. The Liberals tried to lie to us. America forced Carney to drop the DST. The Liberals wanted to tax us. America has forced the Liberals into expanding our energy production. The Liberals kept our resources in the ground. America has told us more about recent trade negotiations. The Liberals keep us in the dark. America forced Canada to hit 2% of GDP on defence. The Liberals never took security seriously. America has forced Canada to remove INTERNAL TARIFFS & TRADE BARRIERS within provinces. The pattern is clear. The problem has always been the Liberals.

The media attacks on @PierrePoilievre are launched to distract from @MarkJCarney's failures. The Liberal Gov't is in charge, not the Opposition. "A country where media attack the opposition rather than the government is a country where freedom is under threat." - Peter Hitchens

Here is a chart showing economic growth since Mark Carney became Prime Minister in Q1 of 2025. It is the worst. Worse than Australia, the U.K., the G7, the EU, the U.S. Worse than Mexico, which also shares a border and a trade dispute with the U.S. Mark Carney promised to be first. He delivered the worst.

Even if nobody sees u… not even yourself, know that you’re worth it, your life counts, your presence matters and most importantly: you are loved. I felt somebody needed to read this rn. Take care ❤️

THIS IS F*CKING DISTURBING!!!🤯 A leaked Anthropic document just came out in court. Their own words: "Project Panama is our effort to destructively scan all the books in the world." Next line: "We don't want it to be known that we are working on this." They planned to shred every book on the planet, in secret. And they almost got away with it. It starts with theft. Anthropic stole 7 MILLION books from pirate sites to train Claude, because their CEO said paying authors was too much of a "slog." Then the lawsuits hit and they needed a legal way to keep going. So they hired the ex-head of Google Books and sent him to publishers to ask for permission. Publishers said no. That's when they found the loophole. Buy millions of real, physical books. Cut the spines off with a hydraulic blade, scan the loose pages, and throw what's left in recycling. One vendor offered to destroy 2 MILLION books in 6 months. That's 11,000 books a day. Now the insane part.. destroying the books is what made it legal. If you scan a book and keep it, that's a crime. If you scan it and shred it, that's fair use. A judge actually approved this, which means the shredder WAS the legal strategy. They still paid $1.5 billion for the stolen books, the biggest copyright settlement in history. Works out to $3,000 per book. And the scans are locked in Anthropic's private library forever. Nobody outside the company will ever see them. The authors got a shredded book and nothing else. The part I can't stop thinking about is that a book on a shelf lasts 500 years without power, wifi, or a subscription, and the AI it was destroyed for gets thrown away in 18 months. They killed something permanent to feed something disposable.

‼️ MAJOR BREAKING: Carney is the first Canadian Prime Minister in 60 years, whose economy shrank in the first year. Not during a war. Not during a pandemic. Not during 2008. During peace. During normalcy. During Mark Carney. Not slow it. Not stall it. Shrink it. THIS IS “CANADA STRONG” UNDER CARNEY. The man with a PhD in Economics, elected to run the economy, running the biggest deficit outside of Covid, is the only Prime Minister, in 60 years, to shrink our economy.

She makes some excellent points. Remember this the next time you pay taxes

🚨 BREAKING: 15 days before Carney announced a $3.2 billion condo bailout, Brookfield, the firm he chaired, became co-owner of a Concert Properties deal in the EXACT market getting bailed out. Conservatives moved to summon Brookfield, Bob Rennie, and Housing Minister Gregor Robertson to testify. The Liberal majority killed the motion. 5-4. Not defeated. Not deferred. Buried. The evidence is there. The witnesses are named. The timeline is indisputable. THE GOVERNMENT RESPONSE IS TO MAKE SURE YOU NEVER FIND OUT THE TRUTH. Welcome to a majority Liberal Party of Corruption

I’m pretty sure I speak for every American when I say I’m rooting for the white dudes from Norway and their Viking Erling Haaland to win the World Cup.

Hey @elonmusk we could use @Starlink phones in Canada. We are stuck in oligopoly hell 3 phone companies in Canada own all the sub brands.

Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦

That's not quite true. The voters gave you a minority government. The first thing you did was bribe a half dozen opposition MPs to cross the floor, to give you the power to rule without restraint or accountability. That's the first thing you did.

Canada has been stolen from us and it couldn't be more obvious. Justin Trudeau resigns... Mark Carney is put on the leadership ballot despite not ever holding a seat as an elected MP. Liberal party allows non-citizens to vote but not citizens with other party affiliations. Liberal party kicks certain Mps off the ballot. Only 151,000 ballots cast and Mark Carney is now Prime Minister. A few months later a general election is held and after more shenanigans, Mark Carney wins a minority government. Fast forward to 2026... Mark Carney gets the first majority government in Canadian history that was created through floor crossings and background deals. All the while the government funded mainstream media and the liberal party talk of Canada, talk about protecting democracy & Canadian sovereignty. And then debate, committees, etc are all shut down as they jam through bills that do nothing to help Canadians and actually create a technocratic authoritarian state. But go ahead and tell me he wasn't installed and that this is the will of the electorate - in motion. He was installed, they stole the majority and now they are changing the rule of law in live time. Tell me again how this does not circumvent democracy, does not put at risk and attack our sovereignty, and is in no way authoritarian at all?

This was a very bad week for privacy in Canada.

My greatest disappointment as an adult was discovering that bad people get away with everything.

Seems to be a pattern with Mark Carney the economist. Bank of Canada Governor ➡️ Recession Bank of England Governor ➡️ Recession Prime Minister of Canada ➡️ Recession

BREAKING: Mark Carney is the ONLY leader in the G7 to lead his economy into a RECESSION. All other G7 countries face the same tariff and global problems, yet none are in a recession. Excuses, speeches, buzzwords, and signing ceremonies do not grow the economy. Canada is the only G7 country in recession because of Carney Liberals hiking industrial carbon taxes, kept anti-development laws, and doubling Trudeau’s deficit.

Wow. Shocked today to watch the Liberals and NDP vote against protecting the private property rights of Canadian homeowners. When a citizen pays their taxes, follows the law, maintains their property and still cannot be certain that they own their own home, something has gone profoundly wrong. Private property rights are not a luxury, nor an appendage to our system of government. They are not some kind of optional add-on to our society or to our democracy. They are quite literally the foundation on which Western civilization, capitalism and our economy are built. For me, the defence of private property is and always will be a red line. It is in every way a fundamental human right, and we must never submit to trade it away in the name of political convenience. Every citizen deserves to know that their government will do whatever it takes to ensure that Canadians can trust that what they own is truly theirs. Without exception.
