The Trump Tariffs require a united Canadian front, but that doesn't mean falling in line behind Prime Minister Trudeau who recently announced his intention to resign.

It requires an election.

Let me explain.

Canada is a resource economy accounting for 50% of our exports.

We're the world's Home Depot, providing lumber, steel, aluminum, oil, and gas to the globe.

Our main customer is the USA, but they didn't have to be our only customer. That's on Trudeau.

In 2015, Trudeau set the tone for resource development in Canada by effectively killing Energy East through excessive regulation.

That project would have opened all of Europe to Canadian oil.

In 2017, Trudeau was accused of "supposedly "screwing" and "sabotaging" a final agreement by being a no-show" at the final meeting of the Trans Pacific Partnership.

That would have given Canada access to huge markets including Japan.

In 2022, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz came hat in hand asking for Canadian liquid natural gas.

Trudeau famously said that there was no business case.

Germany went on to sign a 15 year contract with Qatar for 2 million tonnes of LNG.

In 2023, Trudeau rejected a similar plea from Japan seeking to purchase liquid natural gas.

This time he rejected them based on his desire to 'decarbonize' the world.

To make matters worse, Trudeau's heir apparent is none other than the WEF/UN king of the carbon tax Mark Carney.

By killing pipelines, turning his back on trading partnerships, and refusing to sell our most sought after commodity, Trudeau has left Canada completely reliant on trade with the United States.

And Trump is taking full advantage of this weakness.

Can Trudeau lead us out of this predicament?

No.

He cannot and will not because it will take a massive expansion of our oil and gas sector for Canada to become economically independent of the USA.

What Canada needs more than anything is a leader with a plan and more importantly, a leader with a new mandate from the people of Canada to deal with this crisis.

We need an election now!

What is the World Economic Forum, and why is it relevant to Canadian politics?

Let's take a look beyond the conspiracies and focus on the policies of the WEF and how they have impacted Canadians.🧵

The WEF was established by Klaus Schwab in 1971 to engage global leaders from business, politics, academia, and civil society to shape global, regional, and industry agendas.

It is essentially a left leaning think tank creating policy positions that have global impact.

/2 Image
People focus on the over 1,500 private jets flying into Davos every year for the annual WEF conference. But it is the 1,500 private jets flying out that are far more important.

The WEF is masterful at disseminating information across the globe.

Francesca Albanese has asked me for evidence of her hate speech.

Very well, let's break this down. 🧵

On October 27, 2020, the Government of Ontario adopted and recognized the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism.

Mrs. Albanese, as you are planning to give a talk at the University of Toronto, you are subject to Ontario laws.

Okay University of Toronto, let's talk about this...🧵

There are rules around protests at the University of Toronto.

These rules were revised after the encampment and gross acts of antisemitism that came with it.

The rules are listed in the link.

"Using language in chants or recordings, on signs, or otherwise that demeans others based on their age, ancestry or race, ethnicity, place of origin, creed or faith... is not permitted."

Holding a protest on October 7th, a day when Jews were slaughtered, violates this rule.

This is Ottawa, Canada's capital.

The crowd chants 'long live the Intifada', and then 'resistance is justified'.

Let's explore what Intifada means for Jews in the context of the conflict in the Middle East.

/1
The First Intifada began in 1987 and ended in 1993. Palestinian militants killed 100 Israeli civilians, 60 soldiers, and executed 800 Palestinians accused of collaboration.

3,100 Israelis were injured.

/2 Image
The Second Intifada ran from 2000 to mid-2005 resulted in 1,000 Israelis killed and thousands wounded. It was marked by waves of suicide attacks often targeting civilians on buses.

Other tactics included shooting, stabbing, mortar and rocket fire, kidnapping, and lynching.

This has been making the rounds. It's a guide on how to disrupt the healthcare system.

Disrupting patient care isn't protest, it's illegal, and it's immoral.

It features charming suggestions such as 'bird-dogging', which is essentially harassment.

There's the ever popular walkout, a great way to deny patients life saving care and ratchet up pressure by leveraging their health for your cause.

These are among the most tragic images the public has been shown of the Hamas atrocities of October 7th.

The images are difficult to understand. Let me respectfully walk you through them.
