3 years ago, Trudeau froze Canadians’ bank accounts.

No trial. No warning.

Now Ottawa is building something that makes that power permanent.

The next time they freeze your money… you may never get it back: Image
Image
Under the Emergencies Act, Ottawa ordered banks to lock accounts of truckers and their supporters.

200+ accounts frozen. Nearly $8M seized.

No court orders. No appeals.

The message was clear…

Nova Scotia just made it illegal to set foot in the woods.

Hiking, fishing, hunting, camping: all off limits

And if you ignore it, you could be fined $28,000.

Here’s why this has nothing to do with your safety: Image On Aug 5, the province announced a total forest closure.

They say months of drought have left forests “bone dry” and most recent wildfires are human-caused.

Their answer: keep everyone out until Oct 15, or until it rains.

The penalty?

In 10 years, driving your own car will be almost illegal.

AI showed exactly how the bans will unfold.

The first restrictions start this year.

Here's how governments will eliminate your freedom, step by step: Image Kerry Lutz has tested Tesla’s self-driving for 3 years.

He says it’s now driving him 95% of the time.

And it gets 10–20x better every 6 months.

He asked AI how this ends...The answer shocked him:

The US government secretly holds millions of Bitcoin.

They’ve already mapped out how to use it to erase America’s debt.

But the way they’ll pull it off?

Might be the greatest financial heist in history: Image This wild theory comes from Kerry Lutz, former attorney turned financial analyst.

Host of Financial Survival Network since 2010 with over 10,000 episodes.

He's tracked market cycles for 14 years.

And his latest prediction about Bitcoin is interesting:

This week, Freedom Convoy organizers Chris Barber and Tamara Lich face sentencing.

The Crown wants 7 and 8 years behind bars.

Not for violence. Not for weapons.

The real reason they’re being punished might scare you more than the sentence: Image Barber and Lich weren't convicted of assault or intimidation.

They didn't storm buildings or incite riots.

Their "crime"?

Encouraging Canadians to keep protesting COVID mandates.

And refusing to back down when told to leave.

Here's some backstory:

Trump's copper tariff isn't really about copper.

It's the next move in a trade war you're not supposed to notice.

He isn't just targeting metals—he's redrawing the global map.

Here's what's actually going on 🧵: Image First, some context.

Trump just sent Canada a letter threatening 35% tariffs on ALL Canadian goods by August 1st.

He's accusing us of "financially retaliating" against the US.

But this escalation reveals something much bigger...

Trump just gave NATO an impossible ultimatum that will bankrupt Europe.

Spend 5% of GDP on defense when most can barely afford 2%.

But this wasn't about military strength.

It was designed to destroy NATO forever.

Here's the trap he just set: Image Most NATO countries struggle to hit 2% of GDP on defense spending. Germany hits 1.5%. Canada barely scrapes 1.3%.

Now Trump wants 5%?

That's not a real goal.

Trump's request is a fiscal death sentence designed to expose NATO's fatal dependency on American subsidies...

Since 1980, Alberta lost $653 BILLION to Ottawa.

And Danielle Smith's revenge plan could destroy Canada.

But her secret weapon isn't what you think...

Here's the strategy that has Ottawa panicking: Image Picture this:

You work your whole life building something. Send a share of every paycheque to help out the family.

Then that same family starts sabotaging your business.

That’s Alberta’s story with Canada.

Mark Carney just shocked NATO allies.

He moved Canada's defence target from 2032 to THIS YEAR.

That's C$9 billion ADDITIONAL in less than 12 months.

But there's one problem they seem to be missing... Image Let me start with this:

I think we need to spend more on our military.

We have not given them what they need in order to provide actual defence, and we have not taken care of those who have served.

But... this isn't about defence. It's about politics:

The Godfather hides a psychological experiment in plain sight.

2 brothers. Same trauma. Same betrayals. Same enemies.

Only 1 survives.

Here's the personality trait that made the difference: Image When I first saw The Godfather in my early 20s, it felt like a slow, operatic marathon.

But now, with some years, some kids, and a few hard lessons behind me, it hit different.

Especially the contrast between Sonny and Michael Corleone.

Someone tried to kill Putin on May 20th.

But Trump wasn't told about the assassination attempt.

Instead, he called Putin "crazy" for retaliating.

Here's what's really going on in Ukraine (from a Russia expert): Image Rebecca Koffler is a Russian-born U.S. intelligence expert who served as a Russian Doctrine & Strategy specialist.

She predicted the Ukraine war, and has briefed NATO on Putin's strategy.

What she just revealed should have everyone (especially Americans) paying attention...

How to destroy Canada with $400 BILLION:

Step 1: Buy government bonds
Step 2: Change definitions on your website
Step 3: Hope no one notices
Step 4: Government spends money

Screenshots expose how Liberals and the Bank of Canada exploded inflation (and ruined our economy):🧵 Image
Image
Trudeau and the Bank of Canada played us all.

They changed "settlement balances" from a "TYPE OF MONEY" to a "TYPE OF DEPOSIT" on their website.

Why would an independent institution rewrite their own definitions?

It's an inflation shell game...

A single typo just flipped a Canadian election.

Not because of Russian hackers or voter fraud.

But because of THREE digits on an envelope.

Here's who *actually* holds the power in Canadian politics: Image The riding of Terrebonne, Quebec just experienced something that defies probability (as @vesperdigital points out).

After a judicial recount, Liberal candidate Tatiana Auguste won by ONE VOTE over Bloc Québécois incumbent Nathalie Sinclair-Desgagné.

One. Out of 46,703 ballots.

In just 3 weeks, 220,000 Albertans joined a revolution.

Not with violence or protest.

But with a single question that could end Ottawa's control forever.

Here's how Alberta could become the world's richest nation: Image For 40 years, Ottawa has strangled Alberta's potential.

Our oil wealth? Shipped east through transfer payments.
Our energy industry? Crippled by federal restrictions.

Every year we send billions to Ottawa that never return.

But last month, something changed...

Carney just made his first big political mistake:

He told Trump, "Canada isn't for sale."

But failed to realize that a price tag might not be needed.

Here's what Carney is ignoring back home (while also never putting his elbows up...): Image Mark Carney told Trump "Canada isn't for sale."

But the real problem is America won't need to "buy" Canada.

Much of Canada is ready to walk away for free.

While Carney plays tough guy, he's ignoring the real threat brewing in his own backyard.

But Trump seems to get it: 📹

Not sure Mark Carney saw this one coming...

The US just cut a massive minerals deal with Ukraine.

Canada, once America’s top resource partner, is watching from the sidelines.

Here’s why this deal is a direct blow to Mark Carney’s government 👇: Image For decades, Canada supplied the US with critical minerals.

We’re not talking small change:

• Over 50% of Canada’s mineral exports go to the US
• Minerals make up about 5% of Canada’s GDP
• Nickel, potash, uranium exports are up to 80% US-dependent

Alberta just fired a warning shot at Ottawa.

Less than 24 hours after the Liberals' victory,
Premier Smith announced Bill 54.

It's aimed at making referendums easier, giving citizens power.

Here's what it means, and why Carney should be scared: Image
Image
The federal election's over. It wasn't even close.

Less than a day after Trudeau's hand-picked replacement won, Danielle Smith fired back with Bill 54.

And heck, the timing was no accident. This is aimed straight at Ottawa.

This "genius banker" is going to destroy Canada's economy.

His spending plan is 70% MORE debt than Trudeau's.

And he's using an accounting trick to hide the damage.

Here's what Mark Carney is hoping you don't notice: Image Canada seems to be falling for the Liberal's new savior complex.

They think Carney's a financial wizard because he ran the Bank of England.

But look closer at the numbers. It's Liberal spending on steroids.

Trudeau planned $131B in new debt. Carney's bumping that to $225B.

The largest drug bust in Canadian history was in 2024.

And it revealed a global superpower conspiracy:

• Chinese triads
• Iranian mafias
• Mexican cartels

How they built a $500 MILLION empire in plain sight—in Canada: Image It all came down in a small town called Falkland, British Columbia.

Law enforcement found enough product and chemicals to make 95.5 million lethal doses of fentanyl.

Enough to kill every Canadian—TWICE.

This is just the tip of the iceberg...

In 2015, Canada's middle class was wealthier than America's.

But after 10 years of Trudeau...

• The government is 40% bigger
• Housing costs twice as much
• Canadians produce $30 less per hour than Americans

How a resource-rich Canada became an economic disaster zone: Image The numbers are a bit disturbing...

American workers generate $80 of GDP per hour worked. Canadians? Just $50.

In other words, if Americans work 40 hours a week, we have to work 64 hours just to maintain the same standard of living.

But it gets worse...

While you were busy living your life…

China, Russia, and Iran have been quietly working to manipulate your vote.

And yeah—the government knows about it.

Let’s break this down: 🧵 Image

So here’s something I wasn’t planning to get fired up about today...

The Chinese Communist Party’s been working *real hard* to shape how you feel about Mark Carney.

And our own government just confirmed it.
