Since 2018, Canada's Poverty Reduction Strategy has spent $88+ BILLION taxpayer dollars.
But the problem has only gotten worse...
With 3.8 Million Canadians living in poverty (10.6% of the population)
Here's why Trudeau's "brilliant" plan failed (and what to do instead):
Look, I'm married and a father of 3 kids.
And what I'm about to share will make some people uncomfortable.
But the data is clear: Government spending isn't solving poverty.
Here's what they're missing:

The most damaging report in Canada's healthcare system just became public:
Alberta Health Services blew $2 million to investigate their COVID response.
But REFUSED to cooperate with their own investigation!
I read all 269 pages.
Here's what they're trying to hide:
The report was released on Friday late afternoon.
They hoped no one would see it.
But the same bureaucrats who locked us down, closed our schools, mandated masks, and claimed to "follow the science" are now hiding from scrutiny.
It's not just suspicious—this is damning.

This trend will make your blood boil.
Look at the leaders in Trudeau's government.
Everyone who resigned or was forced out has 1 thing in common.
And it reveals a disturbing pattern in Canadian politics...
Let's start with the SNC-Lavalin scandal.
When Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould refused to help a corrupt company avoid prosecution...
She faced immense pressure from Trudeau's office.
The result? She resigned rather than compromise her principles.

Imagine you didn't actually vote Trump into office.
Imagine he had to defend all of his positions in person.
Imagine you don't like him next year and Congress just votes him out.
This is Canada.
Let me try to explain to Americans how Canadian government works:
Think of Canada's government like a well-oiled machine with different parts working together.
We have three main players:
• The Crown (our permanent referee)
• The Government (our decision makers)
• Parliament (where the real action happens)
But then it gets weird...

Premier Danielle Smith just met with Donald Trump.
And I can't remember a time when a Canadian Premier met with a U.S. President.
Something's happening behind the scenes that we aren't seeing.
Here's what's really going on...
Let me paint you a picture of how weird this is:
Imagine if the Governor of Montana showed up at Parliament Hill to meet with Trudeau.
Or Doug Ford flew to Mexico City to negotiate with AMLO.
That's not how international diplomacy works.
But I guess that's where we're at?

I can't believe he said it.
Trudeau just resigned—and man, it's about time.
A lot of Canadians have been begging for this day.
Even his own party wanted him gone.
But here's why we can't celebrate just yet:
Classic Trudeau move on his way out:
He prorogued Parliament until March 24th, 2025.
That means everything stops.
No committees. No votes. Nothing.
It's his last attempt to protect his failing party.

Spotify made a $250 million bet on Joe Rogan.
Yet they canceled Meghan Markle's show after one season.
The difference between these deals reveals everything about what works in podcasting.
Let's break down what happened:
Back in 2020, Spotify made two massive bets:
$200 million on Rogan's podcast.
$20 million on Markle's show.
One of these turned into their biggest success story ever.
The other? Well... let's just say it taught them an expensive lesson about what people really want.

This is Chrystia Freeland.
She was Justin Trudeau's Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister.
On December 16, 2024, she shocked Canada by resigning hours before delivering a crucial economic statement.
Here's the wild story behind Canada's political earthquake:
Freeland was more than a politician.
She was Trudeau's most trusted lieutenant for 9 years.
Harvard grad and Rhodes Scholar who spoke 5 languages.
Nicknamed the "Minister of Everything" for her ability to handle Canada's toughest challenges.
But something was about to break:

Argentina just achieved something incredible:
A balanced budget for the first time in 123 years.
Meanwhile, Canada's debt-to-GDP ratio just hit 105% — higher than Germany or the UK.
Here's what we need to learn from Argentina:
Let's understand how dire Canada's situation really is:
Combined federal-provincial debt has nearly doubled since 2007.
From $1.18 trillion to a projected $2.18 trillion in the 2023/24 fiscal year.
This isn't just numbers on a page - it's mortgaging our children's future...

I can't stop thinking about this...
Trudeau just got owned by Trump.
4 days after Canada was threatened with tariffs, our fearless leader was begging for mercy at Mar-a-Lago.
Here's how Trump did more for Canada in 5 minutes than Trudeau has in 9 years:
Let's be honest about what happened:
Trump threatened a 25% tariff on ALL Canadian products entering the US.
For a guy like Trudeau who's destroyed our economy, this would be the nail in the coffin.
77% of our exports go to the US. That's $2.7 billion across the border daily.

The G20 just showed their cards:
Support for Ukraine is wavering worldwide.
But Trudeau's response shocked diplomatic circles.
Here's why his aggressive stance will backfire:
Let's start in Brazil.
G20 leaders gathered for their annual summit, but something was different this time:
The final statement on Ukraine was watered down.
No mention of Russia. No condemnation of the invasion.
A stark contrast to previous strong stances. What changed?

I'm 38.
At 32 I was drinking too much and my marriage was stuck in neutral.
Then I started a book club with 4 other guys.
Here's how it saved my life and transformed my relationship:
From the outside, my life looked perfect:
I had a beautiful wife, 3 healthy kids, a good-paying job.
But something was missing––a void I couldn't fill.
I was drinking too much, watching my marriage run on autopilot.
Until in 2018, one man's advice changed everything...

This is f*cked up.
The Canadian government is helping people commit suicide.
They started with the terminally ill.
Now they're about to help depressed 20-year-olds end their lives.
Here's all you need to know about this horrifying new reality: 🧵
MAiD (Medically Assisted in Dying) started out simple enough in 2016.
Someone's 80, terminal cancer, and two months to live, we help you go peacefully—we all get that.
Made sense. Nobody was really arguing.
But then they took it a step further...

This is insane.
2 weeks ago, Canada got blacklisted by the world's fastest-growing economy.
Not because of trade, territory, or military conflicts...
But because of a catastrophic decision made by one idiotic man:
(a thread 🧵)
Before Trudeau, Canada-India relations were thriving:
• Past issues resolved
• Growing educational ties
• Strong trade partnerships
• Strong cultural connections
Under Stephen Harper, we'd built the strongest relationship in decades.
Then came the collapse...

World War 3 is closer than you think.
7 terrifying signs of danger you can't ignore: 🧵
Here's what I'm most concerned about right now.
• Multiple wars happening
• Divisive US election approaching
• Countries across the world choosing sides
But it looks like nobody's paying attention.
Things are converging into a powder keg that could blow at any moment:

This is the richest family in Canada.
They're worth over $50 BILLION—and they control what you hear, read, and watch.
But you've probably never heard of them.
The untold story of the Thomson family (and how they secretly control you):
From School Dropout To Media Icon
In 1908 Toronto, a 14-year-old kid had a vision.
He'd already tried farming & selling car parts, failing at both.
Little did he know he'd rewrite the rules of media forever.
His name was Roy Thomson, and this is how he built an empire:

I used to think I was a good man.
Then I read Jordan Peterson's "12 Rules for Life".
He outlines all the dark truths that reveal hidden poison in your existence.

Lobsters share a surprising trait with humans:
Posture affects social status and psychology.
Stand tall, and your brain thinks: "I'm ready for anything."
It's not just confidence. It's evolutionary biology at work.

This is the real reason behind the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
And it's not what you think.
I've uncovered the truth that mainstream media won't touch.
Here's the untold story:
For the past two years, we've heard 1 thing: Russia is the obvious aggressor.
But what if there was more to the story?
Unseen events and hidden players in this conflict can challenge everything you thought you knew.
But first, let's look at how we got here:

Gun ownership is not about violence.
It's about safety.
90% of people ignore the real killer.
Here's the truth about guns that politicians don't want you to know:
A 2023 poll shows Canada's stance on firearm ownership:
• 11% support it
• 55% oppose to it
The reason behind this? Safety – Canadians associate guns with violence.
But as someone who grew up in rural Canada, I know this is nonsense.
Let's look at the facts:

The deadliest killer isn't cancer.
Or terrorism. Or drugs.
It's something so controversial that it divides the whole world.
Here's the harsh truth about abortion (that everyone gets wrong):
I used to think abortion was a simple issue.
But the more I learned, the more complex it became.
