Canada clearly has a money laundering problem.

A 🧵

You can’t just walk into a bank and deposit cartel profits. Unless it's a Canadian bank, apparently. Image 1/ An unelected banker is going to become prime minister of Canada apparently without being forced to answer a single critical question.

Alas, there's no better time than now, I surmise, to start asking questions about Canadian money laundering on his behalf.

Canada clearly has a fentanyl problem.

A🧵.

Important questions arise over this problem: What do we do to fix it? And how much of North America's fentanyl problem is Canada's fault?

Trump's tariffs reignited the fentanyl conversation, so let's take a clear-eyed look at it: Image 1/ In Canada, the number is 21. That's the average deaths per day of fentanyl overdoses. In the United States, the number rises to over 200. This isn’t a small problem, it's a big problem. And if we’re going to tackle the problem, we need to look at it honestly and unemotionally. Image

The @JCCFCanada challenge to prorogation hearing in the federal court taught me a lot more about Section 3 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms—and I think that Section is relevant when it comes to the possibility of Mark Carney potentially becoming the Prime Minister of Canada.Image Section 3 says: "Every citizen of Canada has the right to vote in an election of members of the House of Commons or of a legislative assembly and to be qualified for membership therein."

"A 🧵 I Wrote on the Legal Challenge to Prorogation on an Airplane to Ottawa"

1/ Justin Trudeau’s Jan. 6, 2025 “resignation speech” at Rideau Cottage went the way of Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau—it took off and blew away, like flaming flying pinecones in the wind. Image 2/ Remarkably, even as the PM’s notes scattered into the snow, he stayed on message: announcing his intention to resign and to prorogue Parliament ahead of a Liberal leadership race. Image

The Canadian Constitution Foundation (CCF)'s lawyer, Sujit Choudhry, is taking the Emergencies Act to task now. He shares some really fascinating information and historical parallels between the FLQ October Crisis and the Emergencies Act. I'll have to learn more about that! "This was not Canada's January 6," Choudhry says, noting that "The Section 58 explanation did not address the requirements of Section 3A of the Emergencies Act," referring to the CSIS Act requirement, which was not met.

“Reviewing the Foreign Interference Documents”

A 🧵.

The Trudeau govt has confirmed its Foreign Interference Commission Report will be published by the end of this month. I've reviewed some of the documents—here are my notes and some important themes you should be aware of. Image 1/ The Trudeau govt does not care.

Elections Canada identified "loopholes in leadership contests" as a serious concern. The decision to proceed with a leadership race without consideration for closing these loopholes shows the Trudeau Liberals just don't care about interference.

"The Story of Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa"

The next bail hearing for the only man charged in the largest drug bust in Canadian history is set to take place tomorrow. Here's everything you need to know about Gaganpreet Randhawa:

A 🧵.Image 1/ Most of the information out there on Gaganpreet Randhawa is sketchy or just plain wildly imaginative. Talk of "Trans-national” crime links by the RCMP has prompted all sorts of rumors and speculation—from alleged links to the Mexican Sinaloa cartel to the Khalistan movement. Image

"I Found a Documentary Unlike Anything I've Ever Seen"

A 🧵.

Scott Kesterson's "Bards of War: Fighting Is Everything" is insane. Amidst the Canada-US spat and a lot of Canadians feel like a bag of dirt—this documentary will surely stir some maple syrup into your double double. Here it is in all of its glory. I've been told that there was once a website where you could buy it—we all should.

This is the most captivating documentary I've ever seen.

A 🧵.

From "free dental care" to "affordable housing" to "$10/day childcare" the legacy of the Trudeau gov't will be one of fakeness. Image 1/ Introduction:

In a world of photo ops and platitudes, the Trudeau-Singh government has mastered the art of politics as performance. But behind the curtain lies a trail of broken promises, half-baked programs, empty rhetoric, falsehoods and fraud. Let's unpack this legacy.Image

The real scandal of the CBC's recent story about Patrick Brown isn’t Patrick Brown—it’s the story itself. This shoddy Pravda-like production offers a case study in how not to do journalism, and a stark reminder of why public trust in media is eroding. Let’s unpack this.

A 🧵. Image 1/

Here's the crux of this story: according to unnamed and anonymous sources, the CBC says, Indian consular officials interfered in the Conservative Party leadership race, undermining the campaign of Patrick Brown - one supposes - to help Pierre Poilievre secure the victory. Image

As riots engulfed Montreal, Trudeau was spotted enjoying a Taylor Swift concert. He chose to “Shake It Off.” Critics argue this indifference further eroded public trust in his leadership.

Let's explore this and other infamous examples of abdicated responsibility.

A 🧵. 1/10

During the 9/11 attacks, President George W. Bush stayed seated in a Florida classroom reading The Pet Goat for several minutes after being informed "America is under attack." Critics saw it as symbolic of paralysis in a moment of crisis.

Why the Trudeau Liberal - Jagmeet Singh NDP Coalition Are Similar to the Nazis

A Retrospective 🎥🧵 In 9 Parts.Image 1/9

A caveat: they're not literally the Nazis.

Take a deep breath Leftists - I can hear you exasperating already. Obviously this isn't Nazi Germany. There's no genocide, Canada is largely a rule-and-law country, and I feel privileged to live here. They're just like the Nazis.Image

THE STORY OF THE OTHER RANDY

A 🧵.

This is not a story about Randy Boissonnault.Image This is a story about another Randy - I can’t remember his last name.

Randy is a handful who always has his hands full.

He's always busy somewhere, I can't say where, but always busy somewhere. In 2019, Randy was so busy he bumped into a flamboyant figure skater named Stephen.

Fixing Pipes Breaking Ties: The Double Life of a Khalistani Plumber

A 🧵 continued.

When we left off, Hardeep Singh Nijjar had received his Canadian citizenship in 2015. This chapter will attempt to chronicle his alleged “double-life” between citizenship and his murder in 2023.Image Reports are that Nijjar spent this working as a plumber in Surrey. And where one man might have a hobby like fishing, Nijjar had a cause. He was a prominent figure at his local temple and a radically outspoken proponent of Khalistan. But was he a terrorist?

I'll let you decide. Image

The stories of Hardeep Singh Nijjar and the Khalistanis in Canada embody many elements of Trudeau's vision for a "post-national" state—a place where identity, history, and borders blur.Image

A 🎥🧵 Image 1/The separatists are in charge and noone seems to know why.

As it is in every other province, things in Quebec have never been worse than they are now. Why are they now the new enablers of this wackadoodle government? Very reasonable question.

A 🎥🧵 1/Poilievre is now calling them the Liberal-Bloc government.

Poilievre correctly reminds Canadians that this is the largest expansion of the state in history, but he now refers to this unelected socialist dumpster fire as the Liberal-Bloc gov't and not the Liberal-NDP gov't.
